Osterreich Empire
I wanted to share my brand new campaign story with everyone. I am playing as the Austrian Empire but i will be having a rather different approach to playing this campaign which i think and hope you will enjoy. This is a work in progress so please bear with me.
I have changed/tweaked/modified many aspects of game play, skins, and unit specs for a more balanced and challenging game play (Yes i do make my own mods for balancing and game play, they could be released in the future) so you will see units looking different some of which i borrowed from other factions. My version of the story starts off from historical facts, but then imagines an alternate route and therefore an alternate ending. This will be the story of my empire's rise to power. Under the command of the Archduke of Teschen, Karl von Osterreich - The most competent Field Marshal in Austria.
Karl von Osterreich Teschen (Archduke Charles):
1805. The Austrian Empire, a kingdom so vast plagued by an incompetent and weak ruler. Franz Jozef I, Emperor and older brother of The Archduke Charles has allowed Napoleon to squander a long held rightful possession.
The member states of the Holy Roman Empire of which Franz is Emperor are being swept from under his grasp by force, Austrian possessions in Belgium, Italy and Bavaria are being occupied and local populations incited to rebel against its Habsburg rulers. The army is in utter chaos and disorganization. The Emperor discusses abdication! and forfeits rights to a 1000 year old Empire and continental power. "What's next?! Austria herself?!!................... No .......... I will not stand by and watch you squander the Empire brother!! It is time you step aside." said the Archduke, and at this exact moment his Archduke Charles Legion Guards storm into the Imperial Court in a forceful march, and disarm the Imperial Guard at bayonet point.
On January 2nd 1805. 1 month after Napoleon's coronation; Charles, with the support of a desperate army, forces his brother Franz I to abdicate in his favour. Charles has sworn to revamp the empire, to re-organize the military, to stimulate the economy, and to give Napoleon the challenge of his lifetime.
