[ You turn on a old radio. Suddenly, music normally found in an old newsreel is playing over the speaker!]
Then you hear a voice.
Hello, I'm jack Benning from the American News broadcast.
I'm here at the request of a certain friend of mine,
to tell you about a certain project that is currently in development.
Now a lot has changed in the time, since you last heard me.
For starters, we have a new name and everything.
Legacy of the Prometheans. you may ask why the change, and what's the meaning behind the name?
Well, the name reflects on a theme that is found in human history, that theme is that certain individuals
affect the course of history itself. Like Prometheus, these individuals bestow
the fires of progress upon humanity. However, this progress can also lead to terrible suffering,
which in a way, could be seen as "the wrath of the gods" for such knowledge bestowed.
There's also been a change in the overall "feel" of the mod.
What does this mean? Well. There's been a removal of some of the more eccentric elements.
So the mod will be going in the direction of plausibility.
Trying to create a situation that is interesting, while making it seem like it could have happened.
Of course some liberties we'll be taking here, and there, for the sake of something or other.
However, the overall goal is to create something believable.
Don't fear though, will still have some the wacky stuff thrown in, a couple oddities here and there,
some weird tales, mysteries to explore, after all, the world is a big place. Anything could happen...
Now you might be asking, jack what are we going to get?
Well you gonna get, two starting scenarios.
One taking place on the eve of our version of the first world war.
The next scenario, picks up around the time of the great depression,
which follows the path we think the war ended.
Of course you'll be able to change this outcome, in the previously mentioned first world war scenario.
The both of them will let you be able to to play till the year 1991!
Influencing the course of this world's history, throughout the time in between.
You're also going to get, period specific music for the changing eras, not to mention,
national radio stations, unique to that individual great power. With other nations having radio stations,
somewhere down the road ahead.
They'll be focus on narrative, at times.
Basically, we're gonna give you a bunch of stories to entertain you on your journey throughout time.
Some of these may actually influence your decisions.
I would also like to introduce you to the E3 map, which this mod will proudly use, to the best of our abilities.
Interesting Politics are also something that is being looked to the great interest.
Remember that old expanded features thing, well we do.
Lastly global trade is very important to us, therefore we hope to make it important to you as well.
So for now this is pretty much what your going to get.
If. And that's if we could pull it off.
This could all change on a dime. Therefore you may need some help.
What kind of help?
Well, coding, for starters, we look to people who have this ability of great interest.
We could also use historical information, lots of it actually.
We also need songs, what kind of sounds, anything for the great powers till 1991,
after that well. We ain't interested.
Other than that, just keep interested in what we're doing.
And please be patient, a lot of things could happen, one thing is for sure though we would try to see this thing through.
With that.
This is has been jack Benning.
Goodnight folks and have a pleasant day!
Hi again, everyone.
By now you're asking what the heck is this?
Basically it's a mod set in a alternate universe.
With elements of realism, science fiction, mystery,
and serious stuff.
The divergence point?
I'm not quite sure.
I can tell you it's at least before the 1500s.
The timeline
The stuff listed is major differences in this timeline.
The stuff not listed is events that mostly occurred in the same way it did in our timeline.
Or, Have yet to be determined.
Kaiserreich, is centered around a Central Powers victory in The First World War.
The Bonaparte legacy, is centered around Napoleon III's empire taking germany's place in history.
Fatherland, centers around the struggle between NAZI dominated Europe and the rest of the free world.
What's the main theme for this mod?
It doesn't really have one, it's just a world that made some choices different, and made some choices the same.
What type of experience is this thing going for?
Something interesting, that will entertain, tell a few stories, be fun, and maybe do some cool stuff along the way.
When can we expect a release?
Don't know. Maybe before the year's out. I hope...
Do you need help?
Yep. What my good friend, Mr. Benning said is pretty much what I need.
And anyone who can turn flags into DH shields and flags.
And someone who can create sprites.
Got a special job for you...
Will you keep all your promises?
Nothing is final. Anything could happen.
At the very least, some may find the world building interesting.
I want to contact you, for what ever reason.
Just ask for my e-mail, we'll go from there.
Will you just abandon this project?
Hope not. It's a ever growing thing that keeps me entertained.
Some days I may be gone for while, but I won't abandon this project unless I have a good reason for it.
I just need motivation. Sometimes I wanted to do some work, sometimes days I do not. Life has many distractions.
Are these just empty words?
That depends.
What do you think?
I made it to the end!
Thank you for taking the time to indulging my ego.
