☩ Introduction ☩
Iron Supremacy is a strategy role-playing game based on World of 1920+, by Jakub Rozalski, Scythe, by Stonemaier Games, and Iron Harvest, by KING Art Games. set in the alternate reality of 1920+, just after the end of the Great War.

This forum game will let you, as a player, control the course of political intrigue between small nations, taking decisions to win the upcoming conflict in this fictional version of Europe. Each player represents a "committee", "coalition", "trade bloc", or "corporation" that will make decisions for each one of these tiny nations that surrounds them. In other words, you will have the power to harm or benefit a nation.

In the midst of this chaos, a new threat appears that will put Europe's very existence at risk. Secret forces are putting everything they can towards destabilization of entire countries, determined to set the world on fire once again and finally seize control.

• Supporters: Some specific decisions asks for one or more Supporters. If a nation needs military training, it may ask for 1 Military Officer. If it needs humanitarian help to contain an epidemic, it may ask for 1 Medical Worker.
  
• Stability: High Stability is a prerequisite in many decisions that benefits a country. Low Stability may create revolts, destroy Buildings, decrease IV, etc.

• Buildings: Generic term that encompasses many things, such as housing, airports, ports, highways, railways, farms, hospitals, universities, churches, etc. It can be converted into IV/Economy through decisions.
