so i have this idea floating around

I'm here.

basically what happens is that following a massive war between Humanity and a similarly advanced Alien species, both sides are devastated with multiple worlds, and even entire systems are destroyed or gone missing, so yeah, similar to Warhammer

Alrighty.

Keep going, you have my interest.

I'm still trying to flesh out some of the details, but i have an idea of how most warfare is conducted where the story takes place

Sorry I'm beebopping around my apartment trying to get some stuff done, so it might take me a little bit to respond. So you have a central location, ( a planet?) where this story is taking place. What's the planet (or location) like?

te story itself will take place a good number of years after the conflict, but it isnt exactly peaceful

the planet is a radioactive ashen wasteland on the surface, dotted only by massive fortifications leftover from the war and occupied by the various Warlords on the planet

the name of which, was lost when the planet was "lost" in the conflict

So we're kind of looking at a Mad Max storyline within a wider universe in which other story arcs can take place.

basically yes,

Or, fallout, or any other Post-apocalyptic scenario.

but instead of cars, its these massive Artillery fortresses with weapons capable of striking targets many miles away

Ok, so it may not even be immediatly recognizable as post apocalyptic. Like, you could have a bunch of people sitting in a trench, and the viewer kind of thinks "Alright, so we're looking at World War One." But, no, actually, you're not even looking at Planet Earth.

yeah

the "soldiers" and "officers" look similar to ww1, but as you look closer, you could be anywhere but Earth

Sweet.

Keep going, I am here.

The story for now, follows a young conscript name "Fitzgerald" who fights for the warlord, "General" Morganstein, who controls a chunk of land around the size of China, along with the 5 Fortresses withing that land

note that i use the word "general" in the loosest definition possible here

Yeah, it's not exactly as if the word has any meaning after the planet has fallen to anarchy.

In this case it would mean "Somebody with a lot of guns and soldiers."

Its not like they can exactly call for help for the rest of Humanity either

due to the weapons that were unleashed in the system, pretty much all the planets in the blast were reduced to smoldering wastelands, with some, our main one included, being shrouded in these massive storms, the likes of which prevent any sort of signal, from leaving the planet

its also these same storms and such that prevent technology like Energy shields from working

Out of curiosity, did you read the Marvel Substitute story that was pinned?

Well, more like "Substitute Setting" really.

no i did not actually

Ah. Well, my current storyline is taking place on Earth. But that setting also has a wider galaxy to it.

interesting

There's the Federation and the Confederacy, which are relatively reasonable hubs of civilization. But they often don't get along. And then there are....the unreasonables.

And this has something to do with where you're coming from, but it takes a little bit to explain.

So: Every (not every, but close enough) evil fantasy race that's ever been thought up, they're all lumped together on one side. Goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, orcs, Drow, Duergar, harpies...all of it.

But you wouldn't recognize them as such.

Because they're wearing organic...armor? More like Pressure suits, really. Because they're not so much concerned that their troops take a whole lot of hits, but they consider it absolutely critical that their troops get into the fight. So these organic pressure suits don't cost virtually anything to make, but they allow them to fight even in hard vacum.

Damn

Anywho. Point being, there's a whole lot of room for your planet in said universe, if you would like to work something out. But if not, I understand.

Actually I’m kinda interested

Check out the Pinned Messages, then look for "Marvel Substitute."

Also, here's something you might find comical.
Earth was the origin of all life in the Universe in that fiction, and humans used to rule over everything. But then Time Travel Happened.
