As the Title says, I want to create a game with a similar structure to Blood and Iron but in a different time period. I will be explaining what I need help scripting with in detail and I will be putting images so you can get a better understanding of what I'm talking about.
Joining the game, basics of the game.
- In the beginning of the game, it starts off with 3 options. Start Game, Spectate, Credits. Start game is the main button you click to get into the game and when you click it, it gives you a choice between 2 teams and when you click your team you're able to choose your class and rank (which I'll get into later) but when you enter a game that's already in progress you're a spectator until the next round begins, whenever you click spectate you don't play and you're just a spectator and when you click credits it just shows people that helped with the game. Whenever a round ends you're taken to a screen that lets you vote for 4 maps too, I'll be listing all of these by screenshot in order.
more in-game information: Each maps rounds lasts for 10 minutes and there's 3-4 rounds before the map voting screen pops up and there's also team balancing.

Choosing class & rank 2. In blood and iron whenever you choose your team it sends you to a screen where you choose your class and rank, this is called the 'equipment tab' on the bottom right there's a tab that says 'cosmetic' this is where you can put on beards, glasses, eyepatches etc you get the point, it also displays your character on the left side so you can view changes you've made. In the equipment tab you get to choose your class, there's a choice of four classes " Infantry, Skirmisher, Artillery, Cavalry" and within those classes are different regiments and in those regiments are rank options such as 'ranker, officer, sapper, drummer' and they all have different uniforms and weapons.
View of equipment tab, as you can see on the bottom right corner it has a cosmetic tab https://1drv.ms/u/s!AviNRGbG5HGwg04k7NUyhBDfmHMZ View of cosmetics tab, as you can see on the bottom right corner it has a equipment tab https://1drv.ms/u/s!AviNRGbG5HGwg09t-Pv6RrWAFv-R Me choosing a different rank within a regiment https://1drv.ms/u/s!AviNRGbG5HGwg1Fyg_ftxX-12BJs
Hopefully this in depth explanation is good enough to understand, I would greatly appreciate any help and advice I can get to recreate a similar structure to this one and make my own version, any help or advice would be appreciated!!

this is to general of a question for this. I would suggest looking at a particular aspect of Blood and Iron and research what you can to recreate it and then ask for help with more technical oriented questions. Most of us don't feel like teaching the entire subject of scripting, more helping with smaller details and technicalities. Try taking a look at the blog. Egomoose has some good information.
