this game follows a ww2 era time period

Anyway I would love a Napoleonic themed CoW personally. Used to love playing Risk as a kid so that would be one hell of a throwback

It would require quite a lot of work.

First, there would need to be a coherent set of unit stats, which would need a complete cycle of design, playtesting, finetuning, etc.

Second, some graphic talent guy should make skins for all those units (so you don't have to walk around the board with a cavalry unit that looks like a Jeep)

Third, there would need to be maps for it, or maybe the game could be played on the normal European maps... dunno really.

Finally, Bytro would need to be convinced that this is a viable business case for them (i.e. generate more money then the cost of doing it) and they would need to support the implementation. I'd say this is the hardest part of it, just a few enthousiasts on a forum would probably not be enough to convince them.

I personally like this idea (but I've been thinking about a fantasy version too, with wizards and elves and all that), and I'd be willing to contribute though I could only do that to point #1 above.

Then again, tapping into an unexploited theme could be very beneficial to Bytro, seeing as there aren't really any comparable games and considering Bytro makes high quality (in their own respect) strategy browser games. That could also allow them to get past the issue of internal competition : since Supremacy, CoW and CoN all 3 have relatively similar themes (aka modern conflicts) with only slight variations, a complete change of tone could freshen things up and ensure people also keep playing the more modern iterations.

Would definitely love to see it though, pretty sure I'd move to that instead of CoW personally (tho CoW is plenty of fun)

We already made a Call of War like game set in that time period (it spans the timeframe from the colonization period to the napoleonic wars) called New World Empires.

Check it out if you like: www.newworldempires.com

We also made a medieval/fantasy one called Thirty Kingdoms.

You can login with your call of war Account in all those games, no registration required.

I am just wondering if the games basics could be turned into a Napoleonic period game ? I would go for one if there were
