- Tactical Arsenal
Tier 2 technology that is necessary for a real battle. With this technology you are able to gain access to most class of units, especially the main battle elements. - Great War Arsenal
Tier 3 technology. Gains access to more powerful units (larger war engines!) and their upgrades, and also some valuable strategic assets. - Secret Weapons
Tier 4 technology which will unlock end game units and technologies - the most powerful weapons of your faction. - Steam Compression Rifle
A new generation of rifles that propells rounds using pressurised steam instead of igniting gunpowder. - Prefabricated Construction Packs
This allows basic infantries and sappers construct buildings (or repair vehicles) a bit faster - less time is needed to assemble the parts of the buildings. - Universal Exoskeleton Suit
Modified designs of Exoskeleton Suits that are easier to be used by general infantries, giving extra protection against enemy fire (and probably mobility). Though won't tough as the more tactical designs. - Radio Channel
Establishing radio link with your allies for sharing intel. - Tactical Radio
By using radio communications you are able to deploy field commanders that can coordinate your troops. - Composite-Tipped Gun Rounds
Improving the ammunitions used by anti armour guns by using a tip made of advanced composites. - Productivity Reallocation
Allows factories or TCs to build supply convoys that are able to transfer their productivity to another production facility for rush production. - Heavy Duty Support Structure
Improved supporting structures are necessary for enormous constructions like heavy combat vehicles and fortresses. - Supermaterials
Materials exhibiting excellent properites can be harnessed as invaluable military assets - especially needed for constructing epic machines of war. - Electrification
Though not a very mature technology, electricity can be used for tactical purposes. Let the Joules flow! - Steam Jet Engine
How to make aircraft faster than driven by propellers? BY ERUPTING LOADS OF STEAM! - Petroleum Utilisations
Expensive fuels, but more efficient than burning coals. With stronger fuels, this can bring more possibilities to battlefields - more powerful engines and even flamethrowers. - Artillery Engines
What? You say the artillery is too slow to move around? Just install a steam engine and the problem will be (partially) solved!

Not a full return to develop the ideas, but yes, some ideas.
Today I'd like to talk about technologies.

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK
BTW, with terrain movement speed modifications we can probably make units that only runs on railways?
Such as armoured train and railway artillery.

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK
That sounds interesting, though you dont seem to mention factions, would all techs be for all factions?

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK
Right now I am only proposing universla techs (yeah, for all factions).
I'm also thinking whether I can put some of the technologies as faction exclusives (excluding unit upgrades), like, advanced aerodynamics for Victorian Empire that I design them as airmobile warfare experts.
Of course the Mediterranean Alliance will have a much different tech tree, since their units are basically mass-upgraded with ‘subfaction’ techs (except their main Foreign Legion branch which still follows the universal tech tree).

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK
Id say faction unique techs sound like a good idea. You did propose a ton of universal techs, to be fair. Tho most of them seem to unlock more units. Maybe faction unique techs could give some more stats boosts to unit types that are given factions strong suit, to enchance faction properties?

- Infantry: Foreign Legion with Kepi hat
- Vehicles: Hull are painted blue. Mechs often adopting humanoid designs. Some hull designs are referenced from medieval armor.
- Real world reference: France (Republic ones, not the Napoleonic ones!)
- Architecture: Steel & concrete architecture
- Infantry: PRUSSIAN HELMET.
- Vehicles: Usually cubic shaped. Often having most parts covered with steel armor plates.
- Real world reference: Prussian Reich (WW1 Germany)
- Architecture: SLAVIC ARCHITECTURE (pointed onion domes!)
- Infantry: Soldiers wearing headband hats and big coats.
- Vehicles: Usually vehicles with a large turret (ref. KV-2). For mechs some of them are supported by wheels (ref. Tsar Tank)...
- Real world reference: Early Soviet Union, Tsardom Russia in WW1
- Architecture: Ottoman architecture.
- Infantry: Middle Eastern soldiers. Some of them would take reference from Janissary.
- Vehicles: Their tanks are basically larger armored cars (wheels). Turrets are open-air.
- Real world reference: Ottomans and probably Arabia
- Architecture: Mostly East Asian.
- Infantry: Would take reference from Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
- Vehicles: Partly wooden, with more decorative elements than others.
- Real world reference: Imperial Japan, Imperial China (Qing), maybe more
- Architecture: American colonial style.
- Infantry: Most of them are still wearing worker/civilian outfits. Some of them has uniform (pending design choices).
- Vehicles: Assembled from like, boilers and industrial machines?
- Real world reference: USA

Sure if you would like to!
I'm getting quite busy again for the upcoming months which I cannot really spare more time and efforts, help might needed for some detail refining and game sprite arts to get this game really having a clear and complete idea and it can work.

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK
I have an idea for a new faction, the Scandinavian union. They are sort of like more modern Vikings. Their technology relies on being able to cause large amounts of damage in quick raids, and destroying and plundering is their specalty.

If you say Nordic people, this would so be a good faction to be given with naval superiority, or amphibious warfare advantage.
And for the styles for architecture and units, it's also very clear - VIKINGS!

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK (Project rebooting)
I have a new faction idea...we can add vengols/vengolians of Vengolia.It is conceptualized from Mongolia,,,
•Their solders will be like,um,,,Barbaric I guess???they will be the most undeveloped factions but as furious and brave as the Great Sultanate...
•They will use their army in great numbers,,,
•Using the "Weapons From The Old Times",,, but after researching Tiers,,,they are in touch of steam powers
•They will have weak but cheapest production
•Their army can have great stealth powers
Also many ideas can be added

Re: AGE OF STEAMPUNK (Looking for new team to take over)
Nomadic mechanised vehicles roaming over the steppe, probably mostly competing with each other.
But there will continue to be unions of the Steppe, whether loosely or cohesive, as confederations, khanates, khaganates.
Perhaps a new reunion, adopting imperial tradition from its predecessors, subjects, and neighbours, but as firepower continues to exceed maneuverability and lessens the gap between untrained and trained, increase of state power magnifies manpower/otherwise shortfall vs principal opponents, and steam industry grows more significant, early adoption can only delay the Khaganate's fall, as it has its Dzungar predecessor. Besides, a large proportion of erstwhile subjects have settled in pursuit of new opportunities.
Unrelated Note: Great Sultanate can be extended to other Islamic Gunpowder Empires.
I assume Steampunk is when Water Vapour Pressure ×100.
