Thank you for your kind words of encouragement gentlemen. Currently things are forum based and the team is working hard on the basics of the game - be it images or stats of weapons, units, buildings, ships and other vehicles, items,... - in addition to that we are also starting to discuss professions and their relationship to the basic skills and the possibility to gain advanced and sophisticated skills to be able to gain a sound knowledge in the profession your character will pick up. If that is all done we'll officially start the RP on the forum (in the forum of moderated scenarios) and continue to work out the game itself.
We are definitely looking to make things interesting whether your character is a farmer, a politician, a ship captain, a factory owner, a soldier, a surgeon, a prospector, an engineer... and since we aim for the possibility to open up all positions for our players one can be everything from the President of the Union (after joining a successful party and winning the presidential elections), to commander of a military unit or the head of a flourishing company. The main target is to provide an authentic 19th century environment set in the time of the US Civil War but following an alternate timeline to open up all positions for our players and thus give them the chance to develop their own history, their own politics, their own version of the civil war - separate from the continuity of what happened in RL during that time (but still linked to it in certain ways - f.e. the uniforms, the level of technology that is available,...). So the bottom line is that there is no Abraham Lincoln, no Robert E. Lee, no Ulysses S. Grant - because it's up to our players to rise to those positions if they want to and to be confronted with all those decisions these men had to deal with - maybe they'll do better, maybe they'll do worse - only time will tell.
