I think it would be really cool to be able to place barbed wire near or on your trench, slowing down enemy infantry but not tanks.
Agreed
Nice
I agree with the barbed wire and mines, but sadly, mines did not exist until after WW1 :/
@@daaavie I will edit the comment. Thanks, though.
Cool
If factions have different skill trees based on their irl beliefs, I think that Germany should be focused on unlocking new stuff faster, they used gas, flamethrowers, anti tank rounds/rifles first, as well as having innovative tactics, like creeping barrage and use of stormtroopers, that would be a great unit. Also, D. Burstyn designed a tank prototype he proposed to the austrian and german armies even before the war. A faster skill tree progression buff would be cool. They also had the comfiest trenches, so adding a tier above 3 would be a nice touch, they even had electricity and toilets there
The french had the most accurate artillery due to recoil mitigation, which was a great advantage in the early days of the war, before others had it. They also had a "as much stuuf out there" mentality, the chauchat was the most commonly produced lmg of the war, and the renaut was the most produced tank, so a special cheaper stuff bonus would be cool. They also had a private company give them planes produced before the war for free, which made them have the biggest air force and the blueprints of the renaut tank were free for the french as well (although the americans had to pay extra for them)
Brits had a thing for volume of fire, before the battle of the somme, 4000 artillery cannons were used, lewises had a 100 round mag, and the lee enfield had a magazine with 10 rounds, unlki the kar 98ks 5, a firing speed buff would be nice, they also had the most notorious human wave tactics, google butcher of the somme
Also, BARBED WIRE
Wow you have done a lot of research but on the topic of the barbed wire officers should be able to carry wire cutters but it does take time to cut through the wire if you don't have officers infantry will charge through it it will either stop most of them kind of has like a barrier but the units that do make it through have lost a lot of Health tanks should be able to roll through barbed wire but slowing them down as if say the barbwire has gotten tangled up in their treads and I think they should add to wear when you use artillery it leaves a crater in the ground that units can actually get into and use as cover for their approach but if you're playing and it's raining that they can actually fill up with water but the downside to these craters that they can also slow down tanks so you have to be precise on where you use them it doesn't slow them down a lot but you should definitely be more careful where you place them
@@CommanderthornStudios uhm... is english not your first language? I barely understand what you are saying, use punctuation, but from what I can make out, seems cool, idea of cover craters could be hard to implement though also, what i said is basic info
@@DodoSniffer73 thank you for being an ass but that's besides the point, I wasn't really into world war one as much as I was World War II.
Earl Haig
@@DodoSniffer73 I think it is just the lack of punctuation
I think Germany should have a research bonus which includes better trenches thus more artillery resistance because German trenches were known to be superior compared to its allied counterparts.
Maybe artillery craters could act as a temporary trench for attacking troops, giving one or two units a defense buff
for balance you should add the option to add a bunker upgrade to the trenches that has limited health and costs a lot but it protects your troops from artillery.
I have a suggestion for the British-specific skill tree. Maybe there should be an ability called "spotter plane" or something that increases artillery accuracy. Maybe that could open the door for airplanes and anti-air emplacements as well if you decide to make the plane a physical entity in the game. Also, I suggested the ANZAC skins a couple videos ago; so hyped they got mentioned by someone else too!
Perhaps the artillery accuracy upgrade could be linked to officers? Call it Artillery Spotting Training or something, and if you have an officer in a nearby trench, he can spot for the artillery and report back to the big guns to help them correct their aim.
It would be awesome if you could change if your soldiers are in a fortified position, aggressive position, or just normal, so that you could have even more say in your tactics, like if they were fortified they would be less vulnerable to artillery, but would take longer to respond to threats and stuff and the opposite for the aggressive position.
Maybe the soldiers would also fortify - to an extent - automatically when they hear artillery to make the creeping barrage more realistic
This would likely come in the form of in-trench barracks and bunkers. Germany specialized in high-quality trench living conditions, their barracks were more comfortable and better protected in the war.
I think that there could be a historical campaign on the Western front, where you have multiple acts (Invasion of Belgium, Schlieffen, Defense of the Marne, Ypres, Verdun, Kaiserschlacht). Kind of like Total Tank Sim, but stickman and WWI.
Edit: With artillery, there should be a small chance for both sides (higher for Entente, since they had worse quality shells) for the shell to not fire. In the area that a soldier of any nationality steps in the area, the shell explodes. I get that it could make the game very laggy, but still.
There should be an arty unlock called “Railway gun” where it’s only one explosion, but it’s a big one with a massive blast radius.
Also I remember hearing somewhere at sometime that the German trenches were actually kinda nice? Like they weren’t just mud like British ones, and that sometimes they had running water and electricity?
Yeah the Germans new trench warfare was slow so they made their trenches to last
Suggestion: Give the Officer an unlockable ability where when you click advance on your trench, he has a chance to stand up over the trench first, blow a whistle, and the troops follow charge behind him with increased movement speed.
I think troops already move faster when there's an officer.
I feel this is great
Nice thinking
I agree I said something similar just with out the movement buff so I like this
It’d be even cooler if 50% of rifleman grabbed shovels or used bayonets
I think it would be so cool if the British could have some kind of like bagpipe unit. Maybe to like boost the troops or something. Or maybe make the British officer have a bagpipe. I just think that you guys should make every nation very special and unique.
maybe you can make a night mode, having to use arty flares to see better. Also maybe implement smoke screening.
Maybe add an engineer unit which the player could give commands to set up things like barbed wire or repair the trench and other repairable things. Perhaps even building bunkers or additional smaller trenches.
Yesss
or maybe built the trenches in the first place?
You should add Austria Hungary, with armored car and give them a special trench upgrade ( maybe add a bunker?), and, make the armored car capable of defanding trench.
Also, you can maybe add Indian Foreign help for UK, (as a cheap infantry maybe), cause India had the biggest voluntary force of WW1.
Maybe the ANZACs and the Canadians too. About adding A-H though, there wouldn't really be anyone for them to fight yet. I say we add the Russians first, then A-H.
you should add 2 options for upgrading the trench its either some kind of defense to protect infantry men from artillery or to protect them from the enemy attacking
There should be more central nations (Mainly Austria-Hungary) also there should maybe be an upgrade in the tech tree called “Allied Assistance” where passively there would be AI controlled units by another faction from either entente or central (depending which team u are on)
There could also be an option on the trench instead of advance and fall back, there should be a charge option where 50% of rifleman and officers will grab stuff like a saber for officer and shovels or bayonets on their rifle and melee at them
That is a really good idea
That's an amazing idea.
If you ever feel like adding another.... layer of depth.... to the game, you could always add an option to switch to an underground view where you conduct another tug-of-war battle in tunnels, or you could use tunnels to build things that act as upgrades. A lot of potential if you decide to go that direction.
nice idea
Yeah , like the movie 'The underground war' , (it might be inaccurate in some areas but it is a good idea) ,
Baron needs to see this. Maybe they could add a map specifically for tunnel war too , and enemy tunnels are invisible on the map view until they are connected to your own tunnel or you capture the entrance to the tunnel. Then you can use the tunnel you dug underneath the enemy to either plant dynamite , or send troops through to take the trench.
z
Sappers could be a fun special unit for some side or another as well too.
I don't know how i feel about precision arty, seems to me like that wasn't really a thing back then.
And maybe have the creeping barrage have slightly more variation on the distance between where each round of shells lands.
Seems odly similar and accurate aswell ( atleast to me)
Love seeing the game develop though, keep up the good work
Fun idea for a new faction: Belgium, with the special unit being the gendarme which are a cheaper but weaker version of the normal infantry, a passive ability being able to buy units quicker. (An extra boost on the skill tree variant) because the belgians used everyone who could shoot to defend themselves.
Might be fun for after the big update in august.
As a Canadian I think it be nice to be represented in your game
agreed
Their is no point really since during the ww1 event Great Britain controlled Canada so the Canadians where counted as British
Same
I think you should add special generals for each nations with different buffs
It would be cool to be able to use units from your Allies or from territory’s you own, such as the British having Canadian, Indian, and Australian, being mostly used as cheap cannon fodder. but they’ll have bonus such as the Canadians having better vision at night attributed to there deadly nighttime raids against the Germans, and India having cheaper unit’s because of their large population, and same with other countries like Germany except they can have there Allie’s like the Ottoman Empire be more elite expensive units staying true to them having better quality soldiers.
It would be really cool if the British could get a buff for their artillery that randomizes the rounds. Maybe one could have a really wide radius, and one could deal extra damage to tabks
Bunkers: a upgrade for the static machine gun but like 1 or 2 infantry can go inside to have higher cover
I think the French should have a unit called the engineer that repairs vehicles and give 20% resistance to bullet and explosion to the near by vehicles
And a new transport vehicle that summons random units every 4 seconds and then when the vehicle dies 5 random units jumps out and starts fighting
The engineer should also be able to repair trenches
I agree with dis
4 seconds is a bit fast , but good idea
maybe you should add bayonet charge. The charge is 50% of the time. Whe the charge happen, the troops will jump inside of the enemy trench. The weapon would be knife, club, bayonet and sabre
Yes
@@user-md2dq8vk7t Yes indeed
For the British national research: world wide army:
Each unit has a chance to be from a different colony and each colony gets a bonus to certain traits.
It would be nice to have a special unit for each nation.For example it would be cool to have a sort of long-range precise tank like the St Chamond for the French
Something you should 100% add to german is like for 1 trench a super upgrade where you cant deal damage/low damage with atillery and only attack with tanks bc germany had the the best trenches. thed had Bunkers electricity, beds , and often their trenches where perfectly planned
I think that would be a bit overpowered, but a fourth trench upgrade for the Germans would definitely be good.
@@tobleroneilluminati5048 yeah maybe but maybe you could have a upgrade for your base/bunker like more health more soldiers
have trench combat so normal units storm the trench and do mealy combat but chosen units hold back and provide support .
also have different Countries have deferent units and stats.
as in
only the Americans had shot guns and they had great small arms so make them better at Assaulting.
only the Germans had flamethrowers butt they only had a few tanks so make them more expensive.
the British had the best bolt action rifle of ww1 and they had lots of tanks so make infantry fire faster and tanks cheaper for them.
the French had bad mgs and tanks butt were the best at defending so take that into consideration.
the Russa had lots of men so Maby cheap infantry.
also please have reparable trenches and tone down artillery.
PS read sid mieirs memoir the creator of the civilization games he has a lot of good advice for fellow game creators like you.
Idea: What if you added barbed wire? I see that you have barbed wire at the top and bottom of the maps sometimes by some trenches for aesthetic reasons, but it would be cool if when you upgraded the trenches, sometimes barbed wire gets placed in no mans land closest to the trench that got upgraded. If the enemy charges into the barbed wire that has been placed by your trench then it slows them down/ and or maybe hurts them a little bit. Same as if you attack the enemy, then the enemies barbed wire slows your soldiers down/ and or hurts them. The wire placed by you only slows the enemy, so when you attack, your soldiers just walk past it. If you capture an enemy trench with barbed wire, it stays, but then your men can freely walk past it without any problem when you move your men from trench to trench, same for the enemy if they catches one of your trenches. If you or your enemy takes back a trench with barbed wire, then the barbed wire works the same as when it first got placed for you or the enemy by upgrading a trench. To make it easer, you could just use the models of the barbed wire that you have as aesthetics. Please take this idea into consideration unless someone already has mentioned/ came up with that idea. It would make the game... I guess more realistic in some way, and also more fun, at least in my opinion :).
Edit: I just saw that someone had said the exact thing underneath my comment right after I posted it. This edit is being made 5 seconds after I posted that comment. I am sorry that I didn't see that comment made by @Herr_Waffenhandel
Maybe give all the nations an ultimate unit that has to be unlocked, aswell as an ultimate upgrade. For the French, it could be that their tanks have 50% more healthy, GB could have the commonwealth, which give them Accessoires to a) more Gold or b) fester United spawn rate. For the Germans, I reckon giving a second machine gun Nest For 3 trenches of your choice or giving them the ability to place barbwire to slow units down or smth in that direction
Can you look at mine
Here are some factions and ideas i thought of:
Ideas:
Foreign Aid - A high price for a few units from different countries (like, germany gets austria hungary, france gets britain, britain gets france, etc.) to aid you, can only be used once in a game / has a massive cooldown
Mortar - Acts like a sniper. Has longer cooldown, costs more, a little longer range, is not really precise, has a small range to attack enemy units
Factions:
Serbia - center them around having defensive bonuses and maybe a 4th trench upgrade or something like that?
USA - they get small buffs to everything instead of being centered around something or special upgrades
Russia - center them around having lower soldier spawn cooldown and making soldiers cost less
Another suggestion might be commands for specialized units so maybe "Gaurd" for all tanks. "Raid" for all snipers. And my favorite "Eliminate" for any machine gun (a Beserker charge command)
It would be amazing to see a shoveler who can sneack through no mans land and build new trenches
As a Canadian historically they were used in WW1 as shock troops. Look up the history of Vimy Ridge, also the Canadians defence against gas attack at the Battle of the Somme
Simply selecting which units charge over the top and which ones stay would be awesome
At this point baron is secretly working in the military with all the military games he plays.
A good idea for the French special tech tree is you should add a part of the tech tree we’re you can upgrade your tank speed armor or it’s weapons like for armor you could add sand bags and barbed wire to reduce the amount of damage they take from infantry and when infantry come near they get damaged by the barbed wire and for speed you could upgrade it’s engine and for weapons the upgrades would add functioning machine guns or a mortar on the back for artillery support.
Thank you for crediting the Canadians for inventing the creeping barrage! It seems like a small thing but it is very much appreciated by us history buffs/Canadian patriots.
Add Belgium with a defensive theme. They could have the ability to upgrade trenches by one more level
Since The British are infantry based I think it would be cool to give them a sort of weaker machine gunner that goes in the trenches but are also really slow at moving between trenches.
There is already a machine gunner infantry unit, he's been in the game since before the demo was released. He doesn't have an animation were he sets down his LMG/SMG in the trench and shoots from there, but it has been talked about and may come in the future.
I've gotten an idea for two easter eggs related to WWI; two pieces of papers have a random chance to appear on a level. The first one being called "Rhyfel" (War in Welsh), written by Hedd Wyn of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who died on the first day of Passchendaele. The other one (with a smaller chance of appearing than Rhyfel) being "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae of Canada, who died in the second battle of Ypres
you should it so things like explosions create smoke when the smoke is blocking a target, it increases the chance that the firing troop misses
you should add a morale system, losing more units than the enemy in engagments would lower morale and loseing ground would also lower morale but good pushes and battles with low losses compared to damage done should increase morale, low morale should increase unit price and cooldown and lower movement speed and accuracy
I think something that might be cool is to be able to bunker troops protecting them from artillery but at the cost of them not being able to attack so if you launch artillery and send the boys over the top correctly you can win the trench but if you do it wrong you waste resources
The french need 100x retreat speed
And a baguette mortar
You should add trench sweepers that don't stop in the middle but run into the trench! (They could have clubs and smgs)
The cosmetic idea is awesome, you could add for the french some soldiers still using the field cap (because it was still used by certain troops until the end of the war) or maybe colonial troops
It would be cool if you could like double click or right click on a unit and it would spawn it the moment it can spawn. Would make basic riflemen spam easier and less clicks.
trenches repairing over time would be pretty cool, as the troops make them better
it would be cool if you could have squads that have something like names that you customize that are better versions of other units, all in a group that appear in multiple battles
As the British, the artillery barrage should have 4 or 5 shots
If you want a forth faction it could be that they could focus on not being elite but swarming like say cheaper units or faster spawning and they could have some sort of unit charge ability
It would be cool if every time the units charged the officers would blow a whistle
Add story mode, make it resemble what heppen in the war that happen during 1914 - 1918. Maybe made a cutscene. It will be lit
Something that would be really cool is a whistle event which spawns around 15 to a hundred enemy solidiers that don't stop at trenches but rather rush the base of the player.
I don’t know if this was suggested already. But for the German Tech, you can have an gas upgrade called “Fritz Haber” who was the “Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield”
Barbed Wire would be great, but adding some Tank Traps would be pretty cool too.
Barbed wire could slow down infantry, but be utterly ineffective against tanks, while Tank Traps could slow down tanks, but could be used like cover by infantry.
For the British, it would be cool if there was a new special troop called the Artillery Scout, and it makes all artillery more accurate by some degree.
I think it could be a good aesthetic if, when a trench’s part are destroyed, an engineer comes out of your base to fix them!
Idk if this idea can work, but it's interesting one to say the least.
How about adding fog of war? I think it'd be fun, like not knowing and having to explore where enemy has advanced, could also give use to scout planes.
Great video as always, keep it up Baron! :D
If you were to add a whistle, I'd say let that be an ability; similar to Artillery and Precision Strikes. Plays the effect of the whistle as you want; but grants maybe 5-10% Fire Rate or Movement Speed.
Hey Baron. I think it would be super awesome if the British got a Lewis Gun for their machine gunner.
It would be cool if there were events in game! Like a Christmas or Halloween one!
I still want to suggest rifle grenades to make it in, either as a unique unit or as an upgrade for the grenades that let them be launched farther. That could fit the British even, they're all about making their enemies explode.
Another upgrade idea could be Withdrawal Tactics, which gives infantry a speed bonus when they're withdrawing/retreating from a trench, which would help with the raids. That could be one for Germany.
Suggestion: add a surrender button or just a random chance for man to surrender after a trench gets taken
I would say if you want to use different shells for the artillery it would probably be best to base it on the type of artillery you're using if it's precision have like air burst good for taking down stickmen but bad at taking down bunkers, barbed wire, and general defenses, have HE a good all round shell good at taking down barbed wire, stickmen, and general defense but poorly at cracking open bunkers, then you have bunker busters specifically designed to smash open any bunker. Now if you're talking barrages have again HE your base shell but also have incendiary to clear out a trench but you can't take the trench til the fires stop burning and this would work even better with the creeping barrage since the fire of the first shells would burn out quicker than the fire of the last shells.
It could be great if you add medics that can deploy on the field and heal, it could also be fantastic if you add paratroopers parachuting from the sky with a reinforcement of 3 or 5 which have some gun you choose, on deploy a bomb is also dropped possibly. Another excellent update idea would be traps, landmines, etc. but ig people have said that already. Another good idea is making it so you can choose from machine guns (aa if my bombing idea is added) or some sort of anti-tank missile/weapon.
(Nation idea): Germany: some sort of mass bombing which is excellent at taking out tanks and weakening trenches but to keep it fair they do minimal damage to units (idea from Poland bombing though it was during WWII) if you don't want WWII which is understandable to add the german unit tankgewehr, which was a german anti-tank rifle. France: For France, they made an invention ("French invention, German made") where they dropped a lot of metal darts from the sky raining down on trenches, This could be a great weapon against units but bad for trench or tank anti-weapons. And for Britain, you could add a unit rifle with a bayonet which would be good in melee so it rushes straight into trenches instead of fighting outside and if it makes it should be maybe able to take out 3 men before dying or more but that's ur choice. I have a lot more ideas if you want that. Cya!
its insane being able to watch the updates and then go and play around with the new content
Idea: ad Belgium as a new country, his research tree should be defence based.
If you ever decide to add the Americans into the game, may I suggest that you give the Americans the devil dog or hellfighters perk. With the Devil dog park it’s if you have a bunch of soldiers, charging, and then officer falls devil be a slight chance for another soldier to become an officer. Hellfighters will have a defensive park where if you have enough soldiers and they will have a defensive boost, making it harder for the enemy to take the trench.
Just a small visual feature, but i think it would be cool to have a Trench look different depending on what side took it, as german trenches were very modern, french had lots of foods and the british had very muddy trenches
One thing to keep in mind is most trenches were built to be defendable only from ine side, so that if you had to abandon a trench taking it would be easy. I'd love to see that get incorporated with the trench upgrades, say at second highest level it removed rear sandbags and at highest it put s in graded terrain which provided no cover UNLESS you spend points repairing it
Ideas for new maps (if you want them Baron) :
Underground Tunnel map - It has an above ground regular trench system , but underground you can dig tunnels , plant TNT and send soldiers through to the enemy trench
Town map- similar to trench warfare , but with a more urban feel and slight changes to map layout , such as a road running through the middle and sets of trenches on either side , to simulate troops fighting their way through a town
Village map - basically a mix of a normal map , with maybe a river , and a smaller urban section
Forrest map- more cover , artillery is slightly more devastating around trees (splinter shrapnel) , less accuracy , and trees have a chance to block bullets , get hit by artillery , fall over etc
Weather changes could also be interesting , in regular matches it could be random and give buffs and debuts to everyone , in campaign it would be accurate to the real version of the battle .
Some tech to add more shots in each artillery barrage would be nice
You could add a pilot unit,he would pilot a plane above the trenches,and would drop bombs on enemy positions,also damaging the artillery or Machine guns
I’m not sure if there’s plans for it but having the ability to control one of your troops or with an officer be able to control a small section of troops for a more controlled assault would be pretty dope
Hm, nation specific could maybe also be something like hero units, like William Coltman as a British medic (as in saving people who are downed and hence having a short respawn?), maybe Joseph Joffre for France with some bounceback or counterattack ability (maybe have troops/tanks move faster for some time), and last but not least obviously the red baron for a strafing attack ability for Germany (basically some other form of artillery).
Something that I think would be cool is to have an artillery gun at the base, and in order to unlock more artillery tactics you would have to upgrade it.
I think the french and british should be swapped as far as weapon base. The brits used tanks more than the french and the french definitely used more artillery
With more specialized units for each nation you should ad in larger maps with allies when you add in more factions. But instead of having longer maps you should also have wider maps. With the idea of allies you should add India and Austro-Hungarian troops to be ai allies
Also you should be able to add a concrete pillbox as the final machine gun upgrade
Loving the content and the footage of the game!
I don't know if it's going to be a thing, but I really really would love to see Austria-Hungary as a faction, given how it was an important power in World War One, yet, most of the time forgotten. An Empire that had to fight in 3 fronts (Eastern, Italian and Western in the late war). Austria-Hungary was known for having formidable fixed heavy artillery pieces (like the Skoda 305mm Howitzer), and a vast amount of infantry, although they had no tanks and a limited amount of armored cars and trucks with cannons
Add the anti tank rifle to the game pls 0:23
There are already K-bullets that can be unlocked. Those are given to snipers that do more damage to tanks.
You can add anti tank units armed with anti tank weaponry. Like the Germans can have the Tankgewehr and anti tank grenades
Brits get a upgrade which increases artillery damage to tanks, Germans get one that makes elite infantry deal more damage to artillery and the French get one for increased tank damage to elite infantry
my officers are currently passively standing at the edge of my trench not being shot at. in the demo version of stickman trenches
Canadians in ww1 did a lot of war crimes one being throwing food for starving germans who would climb out of their trench to get, they would do this a few times then one day they would throw grenades and the germans would run out to get what they thought was food and be killed.
Could be a cool mechanic for the british throw food to draw some enemies out of the trench, each upgrade goes from little food 10% of enemies come out of trench, more food 30% come out but a granade is in the food, 70% come out to all grenades.
Although this is a small thing I think it would be cool to have a whistle blow sound affect when infantry go over the top if supported by an officer
As a Canadian I will say you should add the maple leaf to the creeping barrage but I understand if you don't
I think it should be really amazing if you consider multiplayer option in the near future. Where you have 2v2 or even 3v3 player games. You would need to multiply some trenches up north or south. Even go that far that at the start of the game you have only your "spawn" trench - main base and everything else is a no man's land. Maybe introduce the option that you can build your trench where ever you like?? (for example it would take 30 sec to sth like that depending of how many soldiers are working on it). Also It would be cool if creates after artilery shelling remains and soldiers could use them as cover for further advance. Also granates or even UNDERGROUND TUNNELS? I know these ideas are crazy but I think it would help to create absolutely original game of trenches which haven't been seen in action. Hope it helps and spikes some creative ideas!
I'm not sure whether it already exists, because I haven't watched the "series" in a while, but maybe make there be upgrades or buildings to give the player more resources, and an advanced intelligence upgrade to know how many resources the enemy has, or instead make the whole battlefield "invisible", except for the trenches that you conquered and the ones ahead, until you get the advanced intelligence upgrade. Hope you read this!
Idea:
Maybe have a artillery that does not deal damage, but smokes an area, making it harder for the enemy to kill your units.
Make a campaign for this game it would be so good
I feel like there should be a unit like a sniper shooting from trench to trench. Even if it shoots really slow It would add a sense of urgency and provide engagement in the interim while both sides are building up their forces.
The ability to allow some units to stay in trenches would be good for failed attacks to help ensure trenches don't get taken by the enemy. Also, the ability to shoot from trenches into another trench every once in a while would be good.
A engineer class would be really cool, they would be able to place down barbed wire and land mines to slow down/kill enemy forces that are pushing your trenches
A campaign would be really cool sort of like Ravenfield where tech would carry over maybe even starting without tanks or effective artillery and the technology would slowly advance
I think the creeping barrage should be randomly placed shells, but in closer distance and bigger area along with more shells rather then just all in a line
you should maybe, make the aus-hungry, or maybe make a like a dollar dlc, with other countries, that were in ww1
