I am currently beta-testing a scenario that pits the United States in a Civil War in the modern day. I am looking for input on how this should be set up - All feedback is welcome!
EDIT: All are now welcome to beta test, please respond in this thread or by pm if you are interested in helping me beta test this scenario!
Here's what I have so far:
~ The map is 130x130 if I recall correctly, and it consists of North America and part of Central America.
~ Civs are derived from current Countries in the Northern Americas.
EDIT:...I basically did the following:
*USA is now mainland USA (New England, Midwest, Florida & Puerto Rico), the Separatists (basically the "South" or SE states), Mountain Union (MT, ID, WY, CO, UT), Republic of Alaska, Republic of Texas (includes OK & KA), and Republic of California (includes OR, AZ, WA, NV, NM).
*Canada, due to lack of US security aid & on-going public polls in Quebec, is now Canada (ON & West), Republic of Quebec, and the Maritime Union (territories east of Quebec).
*Also, as is - are Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, the Dominican, and Haiti.
~In-game cities are based on actual states, or parts of current territories, and are set in the late Industrial or early Modern Ages (based on Civ).
The only change is that major units (ie - tanks, bombers, etc) now require a third resource, hopefully emphasing the need for trade - which would be a struggle in such a real scenario.
I would appreciate any input on gameplay or realism.
thx!
Current version is 0.9 (beta) Will release at v1.0!
