| |
− | Kampf um Europa (Battle for Europe) is a Community RPG/AAR Campaign that pits Prussia, commanded and led by a staff of TWC members, against the turbulent Europe of the 18th Century.
| |
− | | |
− | At its very core lies one basic rule: the campaign is what you make of it. No player is invincible, no player is all powerful. By working with or against your fellow Officers of the Reich, you have a direct say in the operation of the Empire.
| |
− | | |
− | In its current form, the General Staff forms the strategic level of the Reich. The War Branch, Doctrine Branch, and Internal Branch all work together under the direction of the Chief of Staff, to set policy, run economics and research, and develop and deploy the forces of the Landheer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Navy) and Deutsches Marine Korps (Marines).
| |
− | | |
− | Beneath them is a pool of Commissioned Officers, Admirals and Marines, who command the combat forces of the Reich in battle.

− | ===<center>Lolgast's Gallery</center>===
| |
− | [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=197971 The Gallery] of [[Lolgast]] is definately a proof how much people can enhance and improve their sense of picturetaking, as well as their skill to edit those pictures.
| |
− | | |
− | Lolgast started off with some pretty heavy and overdone editing, but even there - right at the beginning of his PotW carreer - you could spot that he understands how the basis picture has to look like to make a good final piece of art.
| |
− | | |
− | He started off with R:TW screens, with dark and somehow blurred graphics, then moved on to animated Pictures, including his famous "the last seconds before the end". After that he got active in the Graphics Workshop too, and by then you could see an impressive enhancement of his works.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | When the Empire hype started, Lolgast was the first one to grab the opportunity by its horns and took an official screenshot from IGN, edited in and backed it up with a [http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii15/lolgast/empttw.jpg breathtaking background] - this won him his first PotW contest.
| |
− | | |
− | After that his recent empire works have superb, warm graphics and do really please the eye! Example:

− | ===<center>'''TW-Based Community RPG's'''</center>===
| |
− | ----
| |
− | '''R'''ole '''P'''laying '''G'''ames, in short [[RPG]]s, are a complex and highly entertaining way to interact and "play" with other members on TWC.
| |
− | | |
− | People usually play [[Hotseat]] Campaigns. In general, all participants of one RPG choose one faction for the game and pick their characters (Family Members, Agents, etc) out of this faction. Then everyone acts out his role or character to turn a simple Total War campaign into a vivid theatre play or rather, a novel! Most RPGs have introduced a complex game system with political aspects and structures.
| |
− | | |
− | New Community Games are put together and proposed in the
| |
− | | |
− | [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=968 Consulate Subforum].

| |
− | | |
− | #'''[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1498 Land of the Rising Sun]''' Japan, a ancient Empire divided by war. Will you, warrior, honor your ancestors with victory and power, or will your name be forgotten by history?

− | #'''[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=266 God Save the King! (A Medieval RPG)]''' A world of political strife, great battles, and ever changing allegiances. The most active RPG.

| |
− | #'''[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=513 You Are the Senate]''' Roman RPG, second most active.
| |
− | #'''[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=841 Augustus!]''' RTW hotseat/PBeM game, where all or several factions are controlled by human players.
| |
