I never said you would have to force people, you could post a thread, see how many people would be interested and go from there.

Australia has had a pretty bloodless history. We became a federation through diplomacy and the British welcomed the idea.
I would like to have a fantasy Mod, where at the last minute, Western Australia pulled out of federation talks and then New South Wales and Victoria, afraid of the other gaining more power than the other, declare war on each other.
A civil war with multiple factions. NSW, Vic and WA start at war. Queensland, Tasmania and SA are neutral and the Northern Territory is up for grabs as no one really controls it. Obviously, there will be no Australian Capital Territory on the Map.
Each state could have international influences, ie the British reinforce NSW, the dutch, based in Indonesia, reinforce WA (most early discoverers of WA were dutch) and the Victorian pigs decide to ask France for assistance facing an imminent defeat from NSW. The Germans based in New Guinea could also help neighbouring Qld.
New Zealand, Norfolk Island and Pacific Islands could also be thrown on the Map.
Just an idea. Id give it a go if I knew how!!

Unitl 1901, Australia was a series of states that each had their own parliament and answered only to Britain.
Australia became a Federation in 1901 after all the states agreed. The process took nearly half a century and Western Australia really didnt want to lose its indepedence. NSW and Victoria were also sceptical of the idea as each thought the other would gain too much power in a Federal Government and they would be worse off. Neither state wanted the other to be the capital (Sydney or Melbourne)
The solution was to create a new state halfway between them for a capital city. So Canberra was built from scratch so not to boost anyones ego.
We didnt have an 'independence', Queen Elizabeth is essentially still our head of state.
We've had a boring history, thats why it would be fun to shake it up a bit.

There will never be a civil war in OZ, as Australians dont care nough about politics. If there was a civil war it would be because of a rift between Ruby League Supporters and Australian Rules supporters, or between Tooheys and VB drinkers, or between Holden and Ford drivers.

I'm thinking about "attempting" to make a mod for the Italia wars from 1520-1550.. Except I am expecting the largest learning curve of my life.

Learning curve.....you're not the only one. But I keep hearing "most moddable yet." What do think that means?? Will noobs like me be able to have a tinkle and create scenarios and maps without feeling overwhelmed??

Well perfect then, I did modding for other games and it was like learning a new language for me. I'll give it a good swing here once its released.

Discworld might work if we're going fantasy. Loads of factions and if the maps are presented as cicular (as they seem to be) it will fit even better.
Don't know how magic would work though.
