No, I would recommend removing a faction to reduce the lag. I would suggest removing France.

If this is set in 1916 why would the US be added? There should be more place for nations that fought the war from the beginning to the end....

Just one thing: we can go well beyond the 5 factions limit, but as you could see with our 2 first factions,everything requires time.

Fortium virtus patientia est!

EDIT: But dont expect this to become like Full Invasion 2 :D

Wait, doesn't this pretty much make the squabble over if Belgium or Montenegro should get the 5th place pointless? That means that we can have both Montenegro and Belgium. But seriously, that means that there is no need for the discussion about what faction should be in or not.

Wrong dear, 880 000 men were already in position to fight the war, closely joined by 2 220 000 men. Everybody was especting this war happens, so no, you just confound world war 1 and world war 2.
the august 2nd 1914 the left wing of french army was already deployed in position to defend the french belgium Ardennes border, as far belgium was invaded the 4th of august 1914.

In fact the biggest surprise was the fail of our XIII war plan , not the invasion of Belgium, as far now we know there was an Hypothesis of german invasion of france by the Belgium border which was included in a variation of the XIII warplan. And of course the massive overpowered Germany in terms of mobilisable men ( 9 000 000 vs 4 000 000)
--
Russia tend to be the more logical nation after France Britain and Germany (and Italy). But we can add a German's ally like Austria Hungary or Turkey (or Bulgaria).

But we can also do a multi faction type (like in blood and iron) with Serbians, Americans, Russians belgium troops no?

because to me, serbia also tend to be a top important faction of the begining of the war, they defeated Austria very quickly, even if they were outnumbered. And only failed cauz they were a little demographic country with a not very strong war industry. And of course because germany immediatly sent help to Austrians

I assume the Iron Europe banners will include the flags of the participating nations. Banners being the little circlets above your head, oh and flags the too.

I saw someone mention sepoys in a post above but from the research I have been doing, I see no sign of Indians on the front in 1916.

All of the from Wikipedia so it might not be true. (But it probably is)

Indian Expeditionary Force A
"With morale low, Many soldiers fled the scene of the battle and the infantry divisions were finally withdrawn to Egypt in October 1915, when they were replaced by the new British divisions of Kitchener's Army". Obviously suggesting they were not in service in 1916.
Indian Light Infantry on the front lines. IN 1915, Not 1916 TORN
[close]
It should be noted though that the 2 Cavalry Divisions of the force returned in November 1916 as a breakthrough force waiting for . . . . guess what . . . a breakthrough.
Indian Cavalry on the Western Front

Indian Expeditionary Force B
They were in German East Africa.
Indian 10 pounder Mountain Gun in East Africa
[close]

Indian Expeditionary Force C
They were also in East Africa

Indian Expeditionary Force D
They were in Mesopotamia (Iraq)
'Chillin' on the military railway near Basra
[close]

Indian Expeditionary Force E
They were in Palestine and Sinai beatin up dem Ottomans.
Indian Artillery in Jerusalem 1917
[close]

Indian Expeditionary Force F
Fought in Egypt and was then mixed around with other Divisions but by 1916 (January) it was all disbanded.

Indian Expeditionary Force G
Sum them up in one word . . . Gallipoli!

Anyway, even if it is not historically accurate, I would like to see some Indian troops in the Mod!

Indians were present at the western front. I agree with you that they should be in the mod.


and if  you had paid more attention to your link you could've known there were indians at the front :p
