Austro-Hungarian Empire

One of the largest nations to be featured. It's name is somewhat deceiving as it made up of a lot more ethnic groups then just Austrian and Hungarian. Futhermore a Tri-archy was being worked on meaning the Austro-Hungarian Empire may have become the Austro-Hungarian-Serbian Empire, however this was also largely unsupported.

History
After the assassination of heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, at the hands of a Serbian terrorist group known as the "Black Hand", Austria-Hungary demanded that Serbia take responsibility for their actions. Serbia did not fulfill all of the demands and Austria-Hungary declared war.

In the opening stages of the war it soon became obvious the Austrian military was one of the weakest, however this can be pinned on incompetence in the high command rather than individual soldier skill. Ironically they were the first country to achieve it's goal, to conquer Serbia.That being said it took four attempts to do so, and the fourth was accompanied by German and Bulgarian invasions immediately following a Typhus epidemic.
 * It may also be worth noting that Serbia and Austria-Hungary had recently been in a war that resulted in Austria-Hungary aquiring the north western part of Serbia. As one would imagine tensions between these two countries was very high.

In the Mediterranean, the sheer existence of their navy was enough to deter the other countries from trying anything. On the other hand the existence of other countries navies in the Mediterranean stopped Austria from doing anything as well. However it did see service during the Italian campaign as coastal support.

The air force was not particularly notable however Austria was the leader in military aviation at the outbreak of war. (in terms of amount of planes in service)

Gameplay
3 Major branches of the military
 * Austro-Hungarian Army
 * Austro-Hungarian Navy
 * Austro-Hungarian Air Force

Campaign
The Austro-Hungarian Empire, like most Central Powers, is VERY infantry heavy having no armored vehicles at the start of the war. However throughout it's short history with armored cars it produced highly innovative designs. In other words you should be very careful if it ever becomes necessary to move on open ground against one the more vehicle heavy countries. (France, United Kingdom, Russian Empire) The railway system possesses several different track gauges due the diversity of the Empire, meaning that transport by railway requires a lot of planning. Furthermore in an attempt to maximize coordination all trains must travel at the speed of the slowest train on the slowest line which happens to be 12km/h.
