So I want to add underground warfare to a WW1 mod

Post by RoyalBlue »

From the Romans to Petersburg and on, people have become ingenious about underground warfare and the art of mining underneath an actual battlefield feet from the enemy to achieve another dimension of strategic warfare. I find it absolutely amazing about the multi-floor underground setup during WW1, not only linking trenches togehter and sleeping quarters, but sides trying to find each other and blow each other up by torpedo with many being buried alive. As well as planting bombs under trenches creating the worlds biggest underground explosions at the time. Either to kill the enemy and have an exploitable breakthrough from the men on top or the enemy spilling up into your trench raiding it from a floor just underneath them. Anyways I was thinking about showing this and was wondering if there was part of the mod that let you put 2 different layers of maps representing essentially the fighting on the surface and then the fighting down below. As well as planting explosives under enemy lines and watching it blow the surface layer making the unit in the trench disspapear along with 1-7 hexes turn into a crater as well. Does this sound at all possible?

AFAIK there is no way to add a second level, unless you got rid of air warfare and used that as an 'underground' layer instead.

Also, have you been editing my WWI mod or have you simply stolen my idea?

Well this isn't the R.U.S.E forum, so it is a bit hard to get a clear picture of what you're trying to do without the knowledge that this is for a different game. 8)
