We make a Dieselpunk setting

Why?

Because it stps being punk.

How about this, they stolen some German blueprints for Mech and made their own smaller versions, whom while inferior can be mass produced and are controlled by officers. Each squad going around let's say 200 bots. Cloning is more of a Cyberpunk and Steampunk thing.

Forgot to say they are mindless and human sized, not capable of using ranged weapons and easilly handled by your regular joe with a gun.

>cloning is more of a [...] Steampunk thing
How'd you figure?

The Germans, while angry that the Italians stole such a valuable secret, are fighting alonside them. However, they now live in a state of paranoia because they have more valuable technologies and don't want them to finish in other nation's hands.

Same reason you don't put strawberries and mayo on fried liver.

The end result is inevitably worse rhan the constituent oarts.

But if they aren't capable of using ranged weapons, why they make them? They need atleast big antitank rifles.

To nerf them and not to turn the entire setting into robots fighting robots. It can be excused as itallians not having the technology to make them listen to more than two commands (Follow and Hit).

Sounds like a bad idea now, let's scrap it. It is easier to say clones are dumb and need machines to be controlled, those machines spend Diesel to function and are placed on their heds as gass masks. How is that?

A mercenary group known as the überknechts use smaller models of mechanical armor and sell their services to the highest bidder. They paint their mechs in bright, ostentatious colors.

Germans intended to use mechanical suits but opted them out for Mechas, considering them the better product. When the schematics got leaked Germans did not bother to deal with them, but instead started providing more explosive rounds to their troops.

Feels forced as fuck.
Make it a foreign drug thus driving the need for conquest

Dieselpunk opium wars?

This, make them use drugs fuck the robot guy.

Clones act like Beserkers from farytales, they are full of hatered and rage. Itallians controll them by simply telling them their enemy has the drug they need, most of them die from withdrawal effects before ever coming into contact with the opponent.

Rig em up with primitive remote control.
Red bottin junks them up with a amphetamine boost and a jolt to their pain centre
Blue doses them with opiates.

Market it in universe as the solution to impoverished drug addict and vagrants.
"From layabout to slayabot"

>thinking any possible creation of a world war vet is automatically a matter of reverence

Naw.

The South Pacific is filled with ruins of ancient civilizations. A good pilot can make a fortune with just one or two treasure-hunting runs.

There have to be zeppelins

I'm currently reading the leviathan series,are there any other dieselpunk books? Preferably with an emphasis on the tech

Some of the reacent digs discovered a metalic shape with two legs and a hatch, soonly after the news of the dig the crew misteriously dies. (Hint Germans had soething to do with it.).

Before the reinforcements from Germany and Itally could reach Russia the cult defeats Russian 1st army and marches for Crime, leaving a bloddy trail behind them. Using blood of the slain to etch wierd symbols on razed buildings.

...

Crimea*, not crime.

>Because it stps being punk.
That's stupid

So is to mix Cyberpunk and Dieselpunk.
You can't have both at the same time, you can have both tech at the same time like in Numeria, but then you don't really have a compass what sub-genre of fantasy it belongs to, and such subgenre classification becomes unecessary.

Should they use giant zweihanders?

Zweihanders with missle launchers integrated into them.

>no /pol/ memes
>in an era in which /pol/ memes were normal, or at least accepted

No one has posted this?

The 30s WERE a /pol/ meme pretty much

I'm on mobile so I can't click, is that Iron Harvest?

Yes, it is the trailer.

Case in point: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street
Sound familiar?

Is that game any good?

They should put up commemorative plaques any place a Nazi gets punched desu

I cant tell if you're a /pol/ack or not.

Is everyone cool with dieselpunk powered armor?

It is allready a thing in the thread user.

I think that me and my friends all being fans of Clone High would mean that it inevitably turns into a comedy game.

I think dieselpunk naval elements would be cool, but I don't know enough about it to say anything more.

>Scotland reignites the wars for independence against England causing war within the UK
>Scotland are backed by the IRA and the alliance work together in their shared interests

The French provide the rebels weapons and equiment. Heat detecting machineguns are seen on the battlefield, England suspects French have something to do with it.

God, I love ram prows.

Polish close their borders to German acsess and devote most of their manpower remaking their roads, meanwhile Baltic Union decides this is the perfect time to invade Poland. Squads of Uberknechts storm the border bunkers, followed by baltic armored divisions, rapidly moving to Krakow (Thanks to the rebild roads, nice job Poland.)

Accusations start getting thrown around and eventually trade between England and France is completely cut off, putting them both at a worse state economically

>England suspects French have something to do with it
Let's be honest, England would suspect French involvement if the queen chokes on a Brussel sprout.

Captcha: 1922 Grande

This situation is used by Netherlands, using this change of events to sell French products on English markets and vice-versa, making them them the strongest economical power in wester europe.

In a desperate struggle to qwelm the rebelion English drive a transport airplane stuffed with explosives into Dublin, killing milions of people. Next summer Menchester gets the same treatment by rebel hands.

>In a desperate struggle to qwelm the rebelion (in Scotland) English drive a transport airplane stuffed with explosives into Dublin (Ireland)
I approve of this only because of the glorious clusterfuck that it would be. Just to make shit worse, a drunk Irish submarine captain sinks a German trading vessel.

The Scottish/Irish alliance deperately try to convince the welsh to join their cause. meanwhile the English demand that they stay at the side of the kingdom and start supplying them with troops. Tensions mount between Wales and England, dividing the UK further.

Germany dispatches a submarine armada to hunt down the purpetrator, after finding it and eliminating it they conclude it is Brittish. Not knowing it was taken over by the Irish they declare war on England, and start hunting down their navy, having the majority of their troops abroad (Fighting in Russia) Germany decides to shore up anti-aircraft defences and fuck around with UK navy.

The Russians take advantage of the situation and sign an alliance with England in order to keep Germany occupied on two fronts. France, formally allied to Russia but informally supporting the Scottish, starts sweating profusely.

You degenerate the are fighting a cult in Russia, not fighting the Russians. Read the thread.

Scotland see an opportunity to fund their war, and offer Germany a trade agreement on warships and submarines. The steel mills and building ports along the Clyde River become a lucrative business, benefiting both Germany and Scotland

Italian forces meet the cultists, mere clones prove to be enough to deal with their army. Russian General Zaichev Gorynski who lost the first army commits suicide.

German forces start sniffing around Urals and discover a strange cloning facility, suspicions arise among german ranks.

You were created by a wold war vet

Civil unrest begins in japan, as a group of traditionalists rise up against the government. Calling themselves "The True Sons", they state that they wish for Japan to return to it's feudal state, and the way of the Samurai. After a year of conflict, the rebellion hits a brick wall, and flocks of rebels begin leaving Japan to wander the world as ronin. Eventually, samurai mercenaries are a common sight on the battlefields of the New War for Independence, fighting alongside the Scottish, and Irish forces.

In an act of desperation the Polish blockade the roads with rocketeer platoons, call for aid is sent to Hungary.

Switzerland unhappy with Netherlands tsking the economical lead starts funding Brambart separatists.

> /pol/ memes

Does that mean Tuvalu doesn't exist in this setting? If so, I'm completely on board. Fuck Tuvalu.

The South American countries start building mechs. First to help harvest the Amazon, then as war machines. Battles erupt throughout the continent over resources such as coffee, rubber and oil.

Honestly the most interesting thing about dieselpunk is the architecture. Fuck I'd fucking love a setting with a focus on the various architectorial styles that mark the world as representatives of their ideologies.

Give me some bombastic and grand art deco, art nouveau, futurism, modernism, fascist architecture, stalinist commie architecture.

Post buildings.

Using the money they received from the trade deal with the Germans, Scotland begins producing their own mech, with development being led by Dr Morgan MacKirk. Within half a year, the first squad of Highlander Mark 10 mechanised infantry units storm an English outpost set up at Hadrian's well in an attempt to keep the Scots out.

>whoms gasses cuse hedaches if offtenly exposed to them
I'm guessing there's gonna be a lot of gas masks in this setting then.

Bump

Don't worry anons- you can just use Dystopian Wars' setting, now that there's no more Spartan Games to fuck it up.

Suddenlz everyone has mechs, and we have no explanation of how they got their hands on them.

A notorious thief steals German Mecha plans and copies it so he could sell them. Most of the wheltiest nations buy the plans, few months later he is found dead in his 4 stories villa. England thinks France has something to do with it.

Tfw I'm writing a book and heavily use architecture to highlight the attitudes of the nations.

Art Deco: Monarchist-socialists
Art Noveau: Pseudo-Norse-Republicans
Modernism: Libertarian-corporatist land
Baroque/Neoclassical influences: Semi-fallen Rome-like place

It was intended to be comedic

No you dickhead, I was created by a Gulf War vet.

We should flesh out this Cult.
What's their' story? What are their goals? What kind of units do they use? How can they stopped?

Their goals are to reduce the world to a state of Anarcho Tribalisam. They use mad footsoliders whom are all seaminglly mad, offten using bayonetts rather than guns to charge the enemy. What is unknown to Russia and Germany is that they are seacretly Itallian clones whoms only pourpouce was to force Russia to let Italy attack Yugoslavia as they are now helping Russia. As someone above posted, the Germans found a cloning facility, would be perfectlly fine if Italians did it on pourpouce.

So the italians are the jews of the setting?
Oh mio dio!

There already is a good dieselpunk setting. It's called Mutant Chronicles. A dark techno-fantasy dieselpunk.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, being able to tell where and in which sphere of influence you are by looking at the architecture.

Bump

Does pic related count as dieselpunk?

>make a setting for me under these circumstances
fuck off

the news papers are saying the great lords of wall street have recently started building a "mechanical thinking machine" in the wilds of alaska

>great lords of wall street
What?

consensus seems to be "not really". Common euro problem of having no friggin player interaction, and while it has fantastic art the flavor doesn't really come out.

But I've never actually played so what the fuck do I know.

For fucking sure

Ahh okay

What's dust?
