Set in the Late Victorian Era, Steam & Steel: Total War features 30 factions and 5 sub-factions from the British Empire to the Sultanate of Aceh. The global campaign contains hundreds of meticulously researched regions, as well as unique political, economic, social and AI mechanics. The weapons and tactics of the era are well represented with 500 unique units each equipped with distinct weapons from jingals to howitzers. The culmination of years of development, research and testing, S&S will remain an active project; continuing in its aim of popularizing the history of the late 19th century.

first of all, thanks for making this amazing mod. it's just really cool to see total war mod featuring victorian era coming out. so I just was wondering if you plan to add other Asian factions like Joseon Korea, Taipei rebellion, or even dai viet.

The faction limit is the problem, we can't add more and cghopk will not change more factions, but if he decides to make an Asia Theater of War, they will probably be in it.
However, in the main branch, they're present as rebels and AOR (at least some), so you can use different units from all Asia

How many different regional campaigns (Theater of War I assume) are planned for first release?

We don't know, maybe for a patch or the second release, but "probably" North America and the Great Game, cghopk also plans on doing a Scramble for Africa campaign

Sorry boys, no theaters of war in the first release- just the main branch. I hope soon after though. I've only setup some ui and a converter to switch around files.

Yes, some nations will get access to them, be careful, they need to engage fast before the enemy starts firing

Hazado921 I'm seeing Vietnamese troops, did you make Vietnamese their own faction? Or are they mercenaries? Because Siam is not Vietnam

They're AOR and mercenaries, Nguyen Dynasty isn't on the main campaign

Well, another doubt could form the republic of Brazil or the Peruvian-Bolivian confederation?

Sadly, no, the factions slots are full, so we can't make formable nations

Will the Boer states be playable in the South African Theatre (along with) Zulu faction?

Boer tactics and war are a real strategic and tactical challenge as they were outnumbered and outgunned yet frustrated Brittain for 4 years in two respective campaigns.

Yes, Zulu and Transvaal are playable in the main campaign and will be playable in Scramble for Africa Theater of War
Yep, they mostly have skirmishers and will need good tactics to defeat Britain and conquer South Africa
