What era will bytro create a game for next?

Personally I'd like to see Napoleonic.

Is that one of those manga things where the Napoleonic war was fought by teenage Japanese girls? Not a fan, I'd prefer something that tries to be historic.

maby that started then... not sure

Cold War

Like Vietnam era? Not sure there is much to distinguish it from Call of War and Conflict of Nations.

I totally misread your post. I thought you wrote "Iron Angel." Which apparently isn't even a thing, I was thinking of something else : )

Sure, Iron Age would be good. Roman legions, triremes, war elephants, catapults ...

CoN - Modern Era/Late Cold War

CoW - World War Two/Early Cold War

S1914 - World War One

New World Empires - Age of Exploration/Napoleonic era (Discontinued)

30 Kingdoms - Middle Ages (Discontinued)

But does anyone remember what was meant to be their age of exploration/Napoleonic era game... New World Empires?

Seems to have been discontinued at some point, the link for it now just leads to S1914. It looks to have had a lot of potential, so it's pretty sad to see it never came to fruition. Maybe one day...

EDIT: added 30 kingdoms and turned this into a comprehensive list.

Here is a (probably) complete list of Bytro strategy games. I highly doubt that they will add more, considering that it turned out to be impractical to have more than three covering the major modern conflicts. It would have still been fun to see those other two come to fruition. If you want to read the full thread, click on the quote.

I think something in the Napoleonic era might be able to work, it’s popular enough that there are plenty of us nerds to play it, and it has many possibilities.

Sad to hear they have tried Napoleonic and apparently given up on it.

Still, I think the iron age notion has merit, and they don't seem to have tried that yet.

Doctrines might be Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Parthian, Carthaginian.

Troop types might be:

Heavy infantry (Legion, Phalanx), militia, skirmishers (Velites, slingers), archers/crossbowmen;

Light cavalry, armored cavalry, horse archers, elephants;

Field artillery (catapulta [Roman dart thrower]), siege artillery (ballista [Roman heavy stone thrower]);

Light galleys (liburnian), war galleys (biremes/triremes/quinquiremes), transports (sailing freighters).

Oh, I left out chariots.

I’m not sure if all those doctrines really overlap in the same time period, though…

Oh, to be sure. Carthage was crushed centuries before the Parthians became a recognized thing, and Egypt became very Greekified after Alexander conquered it. But they are all iron age cultures and recognizably distinct to the casual history nerds.

You might even have multiple doctrine sets -- early: Greek (hoplites)[early Romans fight like Greeks] vs Egypt (chariots and archers) vs Carthaginian (naval and elephants) vs Macedonian (sarissa pikes and shock cavalry); and late: Roman (legion) vs Parthian (horse archers) vs Tolemy (not sure really, maybe elephants?)

Hmm… not bad. Could be interesting to try… I wonder what the map might look like. Perhaps you could also drag China and India into this?

Yeah, I'd like it to include all Eurasia, I'm just not familiar enough with China and India history to really comment meaningfully.

Imagine a game between Rome and Han Empires battling over Eurasia, would be rad as hell. I would be stoked. So gnarly dude.
