Hello, soldiers!

I am taking the initiative to open a Discord server dedicated to the entire community.

This will be a good idea, I believe, to create more bonds between us, players of our favorite game. At the moment, four channels have been made. I will take responsibility to update the "Announcements" channel each time something important regarding the game's development is being done.

Other than that, you can chat freely in the #discussions channel, find opponents in #matchmaking and even ask for help in #support (it can be about modding too!). Also, remember that you can mute any channel if you don't want to get spammed.

Voice channels are also available.

Everyone is invited to the server!

To join the Discord server, simply open this link in your browser: https://discord.gg/zeHaMuj

The administrators and moderators of Original War support, Original-War.net and WarSibérite will be granted with their respective rights once they join the server.

Modders and translators will also get their own group and they will eventually get a dedicated channel for their activities. Think about teamwork!

Discord is fun, eat Discord, think Discord, love Discord. It's very useful and easy to use! It is even possible to create our own bot that could be about Original War ; create our own emojis, and much more.

Thank you.

"After the Cold War had ended, Russia completely lost its weight on the international arena. Its chance to regain lost influence and power is a newly discovered mineral - Siberite. Its deposites are located only on frostbound areas of Siberia. This newly discovered element can be used as very cheap and extremely efficient source of energy.

The United States start to act. They use an experimental device to send commandos into distant past. A special forces unit is sent on a one-way trip with a mission to transport the Siberite to the territory of current Alaska..."

Quoted passage does not refer to a new book of Wolfgang Jeschke, who died in 2015, but introduces us to the world of real-time strategy game Original War, published on June 15, 2001. On the 2000 edition of E3 Expo, newest creation of Altar Interactive (later called Altar Games and previously known only from one title) is presented to the public.




Article: The game's release history [DOCUMENTARY]

Bohemia Interactive - the company behind Arma 3 and DayZ today announced a new game...
Is it really "the official sequel to the multi-award winning Arma"?
Bohemia Interactive says: "No! This game is a real time strategy, the player builds a base, finds resources, builds vehicles, and destroys the enemy. Its distinguishing feature is the way the game mechanics reflect the backstory's scarcity of resources and isolation (...)"

And the old conversation...

<[BoB]Phantom(G)> so when ow2?
<Vlaaada.Altar> I don't know... may be... we just started to make sequel to our games :o)

<Vlaaada.Altar> First was Fish Fillets, and now we are creating Fish Fillets 2... second was OW, so who knows :o)
<Vlaaada.Altar> Ok, i tell you... We have plan to start working at ow2 in 2007 but not say that...

What do you think about that?
