Trivia
Battle Isle Platinum
This game is also contained in the Collection Battle Isle Platinum , though there it was announced neither on the package nor in any advertisement.
Development
Historyline 1914-1918 was originally meant to be set in World War II, but because of doubts from distributors (can a German studio make a game about WWII?) it was set in World War I instead. Blue Byte planned a series detailing different wars (the CU Amiga review states that the Roman, Medieval and Napoleonic eras were considered), but because of poor sales they returned to Battle Isle.
