I'm planning to make a campaign that represents the struggle of my country, Bulgaria, for independence and national unification in the period 1862-1918.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria#History
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_awakening_of_Bulgaria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_uprising
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Turkish_War,_1877-1878
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_Wars

These links describe the history of Bulgaria in this period, but this information is not full. I include it to only give you an idea of it so you can give me some advice about the campaign development.

I know that most of the Hive users are not grounded in the history of Bulgaria. Bit if anyone knows it well, I would ask him/her for help:

First of all, about the missions: What type could each of them be? Survival, semi-melee (destroy the opponent's base), semi-RPG (destroy the opponent's base, your hero must survive), stc.

Second, I will need a lot of help for the modeling. It would not be very patriotic of me to make a map with Elven Archers and Orc Grunts, right? I will put concepts and pictures for each model I need. I also can make and edit models to a degree, but my skills are not enough.

I will give additional info about the campaign in later posts, due to lack of time right now. Questions about history of Bulgaria will be answered too.

All of you that help will have credits.

In this period was a great change in world tactics and hand weapons, not to mention the huge improvement at other fields. While 1862 the wars were still fought with muskets and bayonets, 1918 was already already full of aircraft, hand held machine guns and motorized armored battalions. This would require a huge amount of models and environment skins.

Since there are no games featuring this period :sad: , I suggest you to make this campaign in a game like Empire earth or Rise of nations. No offense, I do not think that warcraft is an appropriate game for this kind of campaign, although it sounds interesting.

Yeah. (BTW, Bulgaria was the first country on the Balkans to use airplanes as military bombarding vessels in 1912.)

Yes, there was really a big change in war tactics, but it did not reflect such in Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. My problem is more related to gun-carrying models that I cannot make alone, and some other things like cannons and airplanes.
