Hello to everybody, I am a Civ addict since more than 10 years now. I am enjoying a lot on additional mods for Civ4 (XX Century, Max Riga, Total Realism, Europa Europa above the others). What I am gonna talk about is a suggestion for a mod that expert programmers could create, that involves a factor not really present in Civilization: organized crime. Forgive me if it is too ambitious to do like a screenplay writer :)
The idea that is in my mind is a limited area map scenario of a troubled country or geographic area over the planet (like a former communist block republic, an African or Asian one, or central American).
The game could start in 1970, along with the massive mafia widespread all over the world due to the "inventions" of heavy drugs and large-scale weapon smuggling.
Players can choose between different guerrilla or governative parties (left and right-wing, criminal societies, goverment, religious extremists). There would be no religions, but different forms of popular ideologies: communism, fascism, clericalism, criminal right, fundamentalism.
Each one of those parties should work to convert and conquer the others through military and economic means. Not necessarily legal ones. Right will be determined mostly by smartness and violence.
Resources are the traditional ones plus some new ones (cannabis, coca, diamonds etc.). Buildings can also be switched to refineries, ports, casinos. Sciences could be heroin refining, money laundering, people smuggling and so on. Also some input from foreign powers could be implemented (as in Europa Europa mod, some new technologies or world wonders could be: Foreign superpower alliance, worlwide traffics, etc.).
Military units could be renamed in militias, contras, guerrilla, pasdaran, and other XX century historical references.
The goal of the game is to achieve the complete control of the country.
If you think this idea is worth, and have the necessary technical competence that I miss completely, please email me to do some kind of remote collaboration. I love XX century history and I'd like a lot to see this dream of mine realized.
Greetings to everybody
