About the mod
The total conversion modification Battlefield 1918 (or BF1918 for short) takes Battlefield 1942 into a whole new scenario, the first world war. Next to historically correct equipments and vehicles, we recreated the atmosphere of these WW1 battlefields as close as we can, keeping in mind the game we are working with. To achieve this, we have drastically changed the gameplay from the original game like so that you must now rely on teamwork, artillery, trenches and slow vehicles.
Battlefield 1918 combines fun with historical correctness, gaming with history, the memory of one of the most terrifying wars mankind has ever known, with fun had by people over the internet. Next to the battles fought on the Western front between mostly the Germans, the British and the French, wealso cover other scenarios, such as the Turkish battlefields at Gallipoli, the Eastern front where Germany and Austria-Hungaria fought against Russia, the Italian front and lately the battles in Africa. Next to land- and airbattles using historic weapons and vehicles, we also included the naval aspect of WW1 in a broad spectrum, as this was the time in which the great battleships still were the absolute rulers of the seas.This mod focus on Multiplayer, but has also Singleplayersupport.
For a lot more detailed overview we're very proud to gratefully present a work of our former member Fritz_Kempf aka Sniper-Snoop who has put countless hours of efforts into a very detailed and informative wiki entry at forumeerstewereldoorlog.nl which contains a lot of additional informations about this modification and it's content. We recommend it very much to anybody who not only wants to know something about the mod itself but also it's historical background - though it's written in Dutch the linked translator will give you the possibilty to gain all of the knowledge included. Please note that it's currently in a pre 3.1 state as our former member sadly had to retire from developing due to a lack of time.

Greetings to the many loyal fans of Battlefield 1918! We of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Development Team celebrate today, for it was on this date of March 26th that Battlefield 1918 saw its first public release back in 2004. In recognition of this 20th Anniversary we first must thank you all for your loyalty and are happy that so many of you have enjoyed and continue to enjoy Battlefield 1918. As a result we announce a new release, namely the 20th Anniversary Edition of Battlefield 1918 which includes new maps and a new army! To start off let's have a look at the new army in question, the fearsome Force Publique!
Hailing from Belgian Congo, these colonial troops had gained a fearsome reputation in the decades leading up to the war, and during it proved to be effective troops in the African Campaigns. We hope this new faction is a welcome surprise to you all. Of course this brings us quite cleanly into the subject of new maps thus let us have a look at the first of the new maps, namely the Battle Of Tabora!
Fought in August and September of 1916 this battle saw the Force Publique fight the German Askari for control of the key railroad junction at the town of Tabora. Victory here means complete control of the railways in German East Africa. It is of note that players will find this to be a map in which Entente troops will be advancing from the North and West in an attempt to seize the neutral flags surrounding Tabora itself. Players may also notice the costal gun which the Askari used as an improvised railroad artillery piece. Needless to say this is unique map has plenty to offer for those wanting some solid infantry battles. For those who want air battles though let's move onto the next map of note, Bombing Albion!
One of the things many of our fans have been asking for years has been a conversion of the classic Battle Of Britain map from vanilla 1942, so much so that one such fan decided to make this conversion. Sadly it is not known who was responsible for this original conversion, though we of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Development made some minor tweaks to their conversion so that everyone can finally enjoy the dream of playing this classic map on Battlefield 1918. If anyone knows who the original creator is then please feel free to let us know and we will provide credit. With that said let's discuss another smaller infantry focused map, namely Winter Train.
Centered around the Germans and French fighting over a derailed train in the French Alps, this map also has an unknown creator (though possible one of the earlier dev team) and was long thought lost though fortunately it was recently rediscovered and thus we are adding it with this release for you to try. Once again if anyone knows who originally created this map then please feel free to let us know. With that said let's now move onto the final new map of this update, namely Montfaucon!
Based on a particularly bloody engagement between US and German troops during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, this map was originally made for the 3rd Forgotten Honor Tournament featuring Battlefield 1918. Fortunately this rare most was also rediscovered and is thus being presented here. Expect some combined arms fighting for control of some particularly lengthy German trenches.
With all of these new features covered we of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Development Team hope you are as happy for this 20 year anniversary as we are and we hope you enjoy the new additions. One thing we will suggest is that we are of course on the lookout for those who wish to help in the mods development and so anyone who wishes to help may contact us on this Discord server:
Discord.gg
Finally we should mention that if any of our fans happens to have otherwise lost maps of Battlefield 1918 please feel free to share them with us as we are on the lookout for them. With all of this said we again must thank you all for making this 20 year anniversary possible. We look forward to the future and what new updates will come.

Hello again, the mode has been amazing since last year's update, it has become a very incredible mod! I think after the addition of the Russian Civil War, you could consider an expansion for the Freikorps in Germany against the Spartacist movement. It's not that different from the Russian Civil War, but it's a scenario that no mod or game has adapted, I leave the idea to you. Thanks for your awesome mod!
What a remarkable achievement being 20 years for this mod.
What an awesome surprise to get some more maps for this old Aussie bloke to play.
Thank you so much guys and well done with the entire gaming experience with this latest mod and so far I am absolutely loving Montfaucon.
Hello, I have been running a server map test with the new BF1918 20th Anneversary Edition version for the last few days. Each map was played for at least 5 minutes. Many problems have been fixed, some remain, a few new ones have appeared:
1. The Full Edition no longer includes the Xmax1918, which was included in the 3.4b. Please include or offer separately as a download.
2. Setup: Lubuntu Linux Server: Since there is no server version, I had to build one from the full client version, which unfortunately is not so easy to do via copy & paste, all uppercase letters have to be changed to lowercase letters for each file and folder , because Linux would otherwise have a problem with it. A Linux server version would be great (much smaller because without textures, therefore more performant on the server)
3. I noticed the following map abnormalities:
- Sometimes no map list in the map vote selection
- First Battle of Arras: Server Crash
- TGW Fokker Scourge: Client Crash
- Passo di Falzarego: Client Crash
- Gaza Town/City: Client Crash
- Fort Douamont. 1x server crash with 128 bots
- Battle of Halen: Map doesn't load, server join not possible, single player works.
- Siege of Antwerp is not shown in maplist (single player and multiplayer) and cannot be joined to the server. If you remove all other maps from the Maps folder and then start the game, Sige of Antwerp will appear and be playable.

Here are lists of some missing factions of World War I that you could perhaps add in a future update of Battlefield 1918 :
Some factions that fought against the Central Powers during World War I that are missing in Battlefield 1918 :
1) Assyrian volunteers
2) Baidah Sultanate
3) British Ceylon
4) Czechoslovak Legion
5) Dominion of Newfoundland
6) Emirate of Nejd and Hasa
7) Gurkhas
8) Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz
9) Idrisid Emirate of Asir
10) Kingdom of Greece
11) Kingdom of Nepal
12) Kingdom of Siam
13) Kurdish tribes
14) Polish Legions
15) Portuguese Republic
16) Republic of Armenia
17) Sublime State of Iran
18) Sultanate of Egypt
19) Union of South Africa
Some factions that fought against the Allies during World I that are missing in Battlefield 1918 :
1) Ahl Haydara Mansur
2) Aït Ouirra rebels
3) Bobo rebels
4) Bwa rebels
5) Chilembwe rebels
6) Dervish State
7) Emirate of Jabal Shammar
8) Hawshabi Sultanate of Musaymir
9) Jam'iya al-Nahda al-Islamiya
10) Lela rebels
11) Kazakh rebels
12) Kelantanese rebels
13) Kyrgyz rebels
14) Marka rebels
15) Nuni rebels
16) Ovambo rebels

19) South African Republic
20) Sublime State of Iran
21) Sultanate of Darfur
22) Tuareg guerrillas
23) Vietnamese rebels
24) Zaian Confederation
It could be an idea as well having the South African Brigade represented in the mod in the future.
They fought in only 1 major action in WW1, during the Battle for Delville Wood (where they suffered heavy casualties), so it would be interesting paying a homenage to them in the mod. I think that by recycling the Bulleau Wood map, I think we would have a good start to represent this combat - without spending too much effort on creating a new map
you forgot the Chinese they dint really take part of ww1 but it would be cool to see the 1911 Revolution
there is an idea to make another expansion like the one in 1919
Marvelous! Many thanks for your work. A greeting from Spain.
I take this opportunity to ask a couple of things:
Will the Portuguese army be included?
Will any map from the classic Battlefield1942 be adapted to Battlefield1918, such as El Alamein or Iwojima?
Yes and yes
Muchas gracias!! / thank you so much!!
