Here is my game idea
Concept and Setting:
The game would start with or right before South Carolina’s secession from the Union. The main gameplay of the game would be where the players play the state itself. The players would exist as independent entities free to make their own internal decisions as long as they are not crazy or make no sense whatsoever. They will have to answer to the President of either the Confederacy or the Union who will be able to deal with the policies in general and things such as drafting and their foreign relations. At the beginning the states would be either one way or another and could stay or leave. However if you are a state such as Georgia or Mississippi then good luck with staying in the Union. Now some will be left up to chance and might go differently such as Kentucky or Maryland. There would be a stat for this depicting more indepth who supports who in their state. Ultimately the player would make the decision on whether to leave or stay but it is recommended to go on what the states policies internally and what the people inside the states support. Each of the states would have their own economy which would be influenced by the amount of slaves said state has and if they are under blockade, plus a variety of other factors.
How Slavery will be represented:
Slavery would be listed as a separate population in the state that the slaves currently are in. Now the states cannot recruit the slaves but that will depend on some factors such as what state it is, how importantly they need their slaves, or how they see their slaves. For example if a state manages to get the populace to see slaves as some type of person with the slaves willing to serve than they can go for it and the state can recruit them. For the CSA though this will be tough to do and most likely impossible. However if the Union has Maryland or Kentucky then for those states it just might be possible. Though every turn each state may get a fluctuation in slave population which may either go up or down depending on if slaves run away or just simply die of some disease.
Game play:
The states would be able to send in one order to do some internal things and then a war order on where their states troops will go and what they will do. However the presidents of the CSA and the Union would be players and would have to organize the sates. This includes merging states armies and sending them somewhere to fight or secure an objective. Though states can take independent war actions it is not recommended to go without another state's help. There is no army level or anything because of the short period of the American Civil war it would cover as the war may be only a year but may last 6 years somehow. A turn is a month but the first turn will be a year long up until actually fighting happens. One more thing to note is that the Presidents would be GM appoint as it would require a lot of organization to get things to actually run well. Battles however will be handled with battle updates and a main update for all the states in internal decisions.
Now there are a few states that currently have stats, if yo are interested in the game and would want to sign up as a state here are the states:
Virginia- Maxwell500
Arkansas
Tennessee- GreatUberGeek
North Carolina- Noco
Alabama
Florida
Georgia- Firelordsky
Mississippi
South Carolina- JoGa
Texas- Aedan
New York- Eastern Bloc
Pennsylvania- Alexander
Massachusetts- Bialaska
Delaware
Kentucky- Harpsichord
Maryland
Missouri- AsdfeZxcas
California- Spectre17
Ohio- XVG
Indiana
Illinois- Matth34
Louisiana- iisbroke
Territory of New Mexico- Hax
Union Secretary of State- Jeeshadow
President of the Confederates (When Available next turn)- Ab Ovo
President of the Union- Baboush
If there is enough interest and players available more states will be added later.
