World War 1 Game like this?

This isn't super relevant but with how awesome this game is so far it bears the question- why is there no ww1 game?

World war 1 was mostly a large, stagnant front line. Basically it would be you sitting there pushing for a province or 2 a year. Victoria has great wars, and there's plenty of ww1 mods for hoi tho

Ww2 is about massive armies, fast moving units, encirclements, air war, and maneuvering battles. Ww1 didn't have the technology for rapid movement, 1000 plane raids, etc.

Plus ww2 is so much sexier.

Ww1 is ww2's ugly older sister.

Darkest hour had a ww1 scenario, of cause with no connection to the ww2 one. I would like them to put it in the second dlc after ww3

A WW1 mod for Hearts of Iron 4 is already production and it looks great

It rather can be an expansion for Victoria III.

That's what most people think when they hear WW1 but really that only happened on the western front. The other fronts were very different.

I highly recommend watching the TheGreatWar channel on YouTube:

You will get a week by week breakdown of what was happening everywhere.

I'm sorry, you really don't seem to know that much about the Great War.

The Western Front was largely- though by no means strictly- a stalemate... sure, stagnant. Basically, whoever was defending tended to have a large advantage over whoever was attacking that day. However, notwithstanding the many Western Front mobile battles, there were many fronts to the war, including the massive and largely mobile Eastern Front (over 15,000,000 casualties).

Anyway, you're also wrong about the plane battles; air warfare never reached the scale of WWII, but access like Manfred von Richthofen obtained dozens of kills; hard to do without hundreds of planes.

Regardless, the First Works War was a time of industrial scale war, technological advancements, massive mobilization, vast societal change, and is a time period that, when you look into it, is not all that different than the next war.
I recommend The Great War YouTube channel; it follows the war as it would have happened 100 years ago. Spend 10 minutes a week with well-presented stories about the War to End All Wars, and you might change your mind about not being as 'sexy' as WWII.
