Other than Vainglory of Nations, AGEOD do not have any plans to develop a WW1-related game, I'm afraid.
BTW, pepe, the "News from AGEOD"-forum is under moderation since it primarily is for news
from AGEOD; better to post in "General discussions", which isn't a forum where new threads need to be approved

I confirm Rafiki statement. We have currently 3 games under development, and none is WW1-only (although WW1 may occur in Vainglory of Nations
).
On the other hand, AGEOD has partnerships with various developpers (see Montjoie or Wicked Defense for instance)...and, ...who knows
But my mouth is shut for some time...

Is this being-cruel-thing more of a hobby or rather a prerequisite for being AGEod-staff?

From what I have read in this forum, the three games should be
1 Birth of America 2
2 Vainglory of Nations
3 A secret project, read here too that could be ambiented in WWI, other rumor was Seven Years War.

Online only this:
"Ageod : plan de campagne pour 2008"

But if it is not a secret anymore, why not to post it here?

Why? If you as the leader of Austria-Hungary decide to settle your differences with Russia, much the same way that English governments worked out their differences with France and Russia, why is a WWI necessary? Of course, I'm quite sure there will be a WWI scenario or something along those lines, but when playing the campaign, you might have your WWI in 1890, 1900, or never, you never know what might happen.

I meant that WW 1 should be just one of the scenarios
Also there were almost no chances that A-H would settle with Russia as Russia was (and still is) the main supporter and ally of Serbia and as we know A-H tried HARD to expand further into Balkans....
But if we get a good diplomacy model everything is possible - heck it would be cool to have an option to set "area of interest" and "discuss" it with other nations.

I don't think the Czars were all that concerned with Serbia, more that their leadership was basically under attack from their own populace for about the 30 years before WWI, and would have taken a huge hit if they'd failed to play the "big brother" role for the Balkan Slavs. If they could get big enough concessions from AH, then their people would probably have been quite willing to overlook the issue. Figure out a way to get naval access to the Med and nearly any concessions would have been forgiven. Of course, that desire had already gotten them in a fight with England and France once.
No matter, it'll be fun to see exactly what can be done with the new game when it's ready.

We are hijacking this thread a bit
A-H would NEVER give Russia/Serbia such concessions as A-H would sooner or later clash with Russia as it had nowhere else to expand except into Balkans.
Also A-H occupied Bosnia which had a huge Serbian population before WW1 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BosniaHerzegovina.gif ( Serbs in blue ) which has upset Serbia ....
The truth is that Russia was seen as a big Slavic brother only in Serbia and Montenegro (same religion) and never to the other South Slavs (different religion, mentality and culture).
Hopefully there would be a way to play minor nations in VG as playing with Serbia would be quite some fun

In addition to being, in all probability, quite a short game.

In this german forum there are some details about the "not so secret now" projects
"Im zweiten Quartal 2008 kommt: Birth of America 2: Wars in America (Screenshot im Teaser)
Auf der BoA 2 Engine basierend kommt um Weihnachten 2008 herum:
Frederic the Great: Rise of Prussia (Screenshot im Teaser). Umfasst wohl den österreichischen Erbfolgekrieg und den Siebenjährigen Krieg.
Ein weiteres Projekt, dass aber noch nicht datiert ist, wird sich mit den
Mexican Wars zwischen 1830 bis 1920 beschäftigen (Fort Alamo bis Pancho Villa) (Screenshot im Teaser)
Anfang 2009 soll dann dann Vainglory of Nations kommen"
http://si-games.com/forums/showthread.php?p=429683
But where are the screenshot he talks about?

You can find this information in the teaser of cyberstratege:
http://www.ageod-forum.com/showpost.php?p=81094&postcount=5
There you also find the screen shots.
By the way, "this German forum" is the official German AGEod forum.

No offense taken.
I just wanted to do some advertising. Sorry if I sounded harsh.

dooya, it is not your fault but mine.
As there are french and spanish fora here (besides english), I did not know that there was a german one out there!
And about the new games, I thought that I had discovered America
In fact I had seen the link you posted before, but as it was an exe, not a pdf I did not try it! Well, perhaps this happened to more people here and this info is new to them too...
By the way are there more screenshots available of better quality and detail?

"Minor" nations won't be playable in VGN, I think.

IIRC you will be able to mod them to be playable though

Indeed yes, with modding so many things are possible excepted one : modding needs the game to be finished first.

So it's possible that even the Boers War(s) may or may not be unfolding events in VGN? I'm finding it very interesting reading in Churchill's Last Lion bio.
Gentlemen, religion is still of importance in peaceful matters to some folks.
