This is my first go at a scenario so please be gentle. Its the good old fashioned cold war world back in the good old days of the U.S.S.R. I have used the same map from the 'Now' scenario which i thought was very good and the only one i have found where the whole world is full. I dont think i am alone in saying that all these other scenarios are good but lacking as most of the modern world is unclaimed which of course would never happen in the modern world. Also i have toned down the ai aggression level to stop all these stupid wars of destruction in which cities are always razed rather than captured. lastly Fascism is a new government option and i have made Communism now Socialism and given it more benefits so can be used as a workable govenment and make your economy more manageable.
The players are

1 Soviet Union (you)
2 United states
3 Europe
4 Eastern Europe
5 Mongolia
6 China
7 Arabia
8 Africa
9 South Africa
10 India
11 Australia
12 Latin America
13 Brazil
14 Middle America
15 Japan
16 South East Asia

No doubt many of you will remember most of these countries from 'Now' and i must pass on my thanks to its creator and do acknowledge all the major work was already done by its creator Matrix. Also i have increased straegic resources as having them run out can be a pain, depending on what sort of game you want.
Also naval forces movement factors are increased so a vessal does take like 40 turns to navigate the globe.

The general balance of power is that the USSR has a vast army but a navy inferior to the U.S and the same is true of its ICBM forces. The U.S.S.R has access to the Med via the blacksea, to do this i had to delete some land tiles which means the Eruopean player will have to ferry his forces into Turkey by transport.


Word of warning, the load up for the first time will take around 40 mins and taking turns is especially slow in wartime. My machine is a p4 1.5 gig machine and it can be slow on that, so high end machines only.

the file

save file if you want to start the game quicker and avoid the hassile of moving units and alocating city production that is defaulted to building swordsman. I am on my 20th turn and i am the U.S.S.R. Peace still reigns and i have pacts with eastern Europe, Mongolia and Middle America (where i have placed tactical nukes so they are in range of the U.S, cuban missle crisis anyone?)

Good scenario.
Only a little correction: the citys Manaus and Porto Velho actually belong to Brazil.

thanks, i will change that on the next version i will give a go soon.

i have just placed nuclear warheads in central America and world peace still reigns

this map needs lot of improvement, the border of china is off, hainan should belong to china, and china also should have some modern armor and nuke

What size is this map?

Hmm, why is Nottingham in Germany? I think you may have forgotten to rename it - I would use either Kiel, Hamburg or Hannover (though the second two arnt actually costal cities). Perhaps you should have Eastern Europe as part of the Soviet Union and I don't like the fact that the rails are all over the place.
However this is a v.good scenario - keep up the good work.

mongolia shouldn't need to exist in a cold war scenario.
it was part of china and control was handed over to USSR.
even today, it "standing" army is a tiny 3000 rilfemen force :)
better have canada or northern europe than mongolia...

:egypt:

following are just some stuff to think about, nothing really to implement. :p

USSR would be heavy on tank, paratrooper, missiles. alot of jet fighter, a few helicopters. alot of sub, a few crusier, destroyer, maybe even a carrier in the med. sea . i believe they have 5 major port uses by each of their fleet.

china forces should have alot of inf, quite many artillery, a few tank. navy wise, some sub, destroyer would be their biggest ship. the air force would be alot old planes (biggest air fleet!), no bombers. china wouldn't have a cruiser until russia sold a pair this century. the navy stay within coastal waters.

USA would be mainly tank and marines and smaller mix force. many carriers, maybe 2 operating battleship, a cruiser with 2 destroyer for every carrier force. many sub. F-15s, bombers, helicopter.

turkey should remain connected to europe. force USSR to take the port city to get their ship into med. sea! :D

hey, China has the third largest tank force so they sould have more take, akinkhoo. And China had made cruiser missile since the 60s

ill be sure to check this out. I hope it is a good cold war map for once that accurate :D

It was not actually a part of China directly. It was nominally under control of China 1678 - 1911 or so (reasons too complicated to post). Then with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia became independent, finally gaining complete independence in 1917. Nationalist China was forced recognise Mongolia as an independent country after it lost a democratic vote on the issue. And also, the USSR didn't have control handed over to them.

Yes but wasn't and important actor in the cold war. And old his policies were subordinates to the Soviet Union, then I'll make them part of Russia.

what is a cruiser missile? china doesn't have modern cruiser. it has missile but their artillery remains the main forces. is has alot of tank, but it largely ineffective and prone to breakdown until much later. you can't really give them that the 3rd biggest tank force and keep the game balanced.

why are there so many random "player" cities on the map?

Re: Mongolia:

Back in the good old days of Soviet superpowerhood, there was joke that there way from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar was shorter than that to Kiev.

The fact is that Mongolia was under tighter Kremlin control than any other Soviet ally or satellite.

i need download other file?

Don't bump two year old topics; PM TLC not this.
