Hello, me and a few colleagues of mine have recently begun to develop a minecraft server based much on the format of Mount and Blade Warband Napoleonic wars line battles, but with a twist... we are utilizing the World War One era instead of the French Revolution as our focus for combat. The lack of world war one games and its overall status in the history of war is unjustly pushed aside by the second world war and perhaps other conflicts as well. We feel that this significant and brutal era of warfare needs to have its story told. the format of Napoleonic wars line battles will pretty much be carried over to this server, there will be ranks of men, and historical skins to resemble the uniforms with as much historical accuracy as possible.
We introduce 5 major nations during the Great War: Britain, Germany, France, Austria Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire, each with there own unique regiments and uniforms. We would like to begin recruiting people who are interested in perhaps leading a regiment or fighting in one, so we know how many regiments to make historical skins for. Places in a leadership role are limited and only the first will be selected. Please tell us if you are interested on these forums or contact me personally on Minecraft Planet.
We feel that minecraft is the perfect setting for a configuration such as this, what with all the trenches and other constructable defenses plus minecraft's beautiful pvp capabilities. We value your support with this project and thank you sincerely.
The server will go up online in a few weeks when all rolls are filled in and everything is properly organized. We already have a player base approaching 20, so far.
We hope you appreciate this amazing era of history as much as we do, and if you have any questions please leave comments below. You may also contact me at [email protected]

you may lead a regiment in the ottomans, but we already have leaders for all of the countries. i can assign you a historical regiment to lead or you may pick one yourself and notify me. i will then create its skin and u will have to recruit as many of your friends and or other ppl as u can to join you. Our recruiting efforts will also supply your ranks as well.

no u will not need to download anything like that. if guns are going to be involved then it will be with a server wide bukkit plugin that u will hav acces to on defualt as soon as u enter the server, but the use of guns is still being debated. ok good choice with the germans btw thats my nation ; )

i have just been notified that for the fist week of battles only one regiment per nation will be used until we are sure that enough ppl are goin to be involved to create more regiments, which we anticipate and hope for. so lilmessengerboy the first selected german regiment is the 1st Foot Guards which i will be leading, ill ask the ottoman leader which regiment he has picked for his starting regiment as soon as i can for u ottothemotto
