Cold War 1975

[luiz]

NEW VERSION: 2.0!!!

This scenario takes place in 1975, when the world was at the Cold War. USA and the USSR are competing for world supremacy, and other powers are arising.
The USA is economically stronger then the USSR, what gives America a advantage in the Cold War.
I made the USA the human player, but if you want to switch it, use the editor, by loading the scenario and selecting a new human player at player properties.

This is how the world is divided:

North America(United States, Canada, Israel and Panama)
Soviet Union(and the Warsaw Pact countries)
Western Europe(and Australia)
India(and southeast Asia capitalist countries)
China(and Vietnam and North Korea)
Japan(and South Korea)
Arab Nations
Central America(Mexico and Central America)
South America
Africa(non-arab african countries)

This is Version 2.0

This is what changed from version 1.0 to 1.1:

Manhattan Project placed
Intelligence Agency in Moscow placed
Minimum time for tech discovery fixed
Terrains fixed so that cities(most of them) wont starve

This is what changed from version 1.1 to 2.0

Latin America was divided in South America and Central America
Panama was placed under American control
Kalingrad was placed under soviet control
USA and USSR are now stronger

Good idea, but I don't like the fact that the map is not filled out completely, like in the "Now" scenario. Also, I feel United States should be representing itself, not North America. Leave Canada to be Canada. However, you can make Israel part of the United States.

 

[luiz]

The big problem with filling out completely the map is that it takes forever to load, and the turns get toooo long. However I will consider your suggestion.
About the USA/Canada thing, I did that because I dont see Canada as been another civilization, I mean, if England, Germany, France, Maxico and Brazil are not in separeted civilizations, why should Canada be? But then again, I will think about your suggestion.

 

[one_man_assault]

I agree with Propaganda on the Canada issue, but not on the world being filled up. I think the world should only encompass nations that are nessessary... U shouldnt combine canada for the same reason why u dont combine USSR and China. Even though we do have a lot in common with Canadians I think It wouldn't please many folks (canadian and american) besides the fact the Canadians had no (well small) role in the Cold War and should be kept out of the position the americans were in. I agree on luiz also in that if your going to add Canada might as well add other countrys also. But u should try to generalize them unless they had a big role then u should add them to either the soviets or US (like Isreal (US), Hungary. (USSR), Cuba (USSR), South Korea US) etc.) And didnt u make a communist Germany (east) and A democratic Germany (west) as part of the Soviet and US territory?

Sadly, scenarios will be mediocre, at best, until the release of Play The World. I commend everyone's efforts though to make a playable scenario.

 

[one_man_assault]

Some scenarios are great man... Have u played the Civil War scenario that rocks same with luiz's modified WW3 sen that was originaly created by Stalin (witch rocks also). Download the sens play them then judge wether there medicore, Im not trying to blast u off but to me thats a personal insult. I dont make my senarios to be just medicore I aim higher and Im sure the prolific sen creators do also....sorry I just had to let that one realease my steam

 

[cgannon64]

I liked it. Too bad people can't make a Cuban Missile Crisis scenerio, that would be awesome (tacitcal nukes have too little range, ICBM's have to far---we need MRBMs!)

 

[cgannon64]

Oh and what I recomed is making NATO instead of the US and Western Europe, because if WW3 broke out, they'd almost be one country.

Just my opinion

I didn't mean to insult you, I was just saying that it's a bit tough to make scenarios right now due to limited options in the editor. I said I commended your efforts, I don't know why you've taken it the wrong way.

I would like to see America and Europe (plus Australia) as part of one country - the UN. Also I like to see the map filled outbut only because of the map (not all visible) and terriotory (doesn't cover all of country in Russia quite often).

 

[luiz]

Thanks for the suggestions... but there are somethings Id like to say:
Ive added Canada to the US because I think it was too important to be kept out of the game and not important enough(in the cold war) to be a separetad civ. Beside, since Ive added Eastern Europe to the USSR, I had to add something to the US to make a balance.
About making Western Europe and US one country(NATO), I think that would give them huge advantage, making the scenario too unbalanced. The ideal would be to use diplomatic settings, and make an alliance between the US and WE.

 

[one_man_assault]

rmsharp my apologies I just take things a little bit to seriously when ppl make opinions like that. I guess I was too caught up to understand the full meaning and took it the wrong way. Plus I was having a not so good day. But that was no excuse for busting out like that with out second guessing. But I still think that besides the limitations of the editor a good creator can use creativity to tweak the barriers and get a better than medicore scen. If he/shes creative enough...

 

[elty]

I dont know why every scen like to put Skorea to Japan. Korean really dont like Japan. They prohabit many japanese good for import for a long time. ANd those Japanese occupied korea for like half a century long

 

[luiz]

I know the korean people really dislike Japan, but the fact is South Korea was industrialized by japanese money, and today SKorea is in Japans zone of influence. And I dont see sense in making a civ just for SKorea, since we can only place one or two cities in the peninsula.

 

[amadeus]

South Korea was more industrialized by American money, I'd say. Japan was industrialized by American money, too

 

[luiz]

Actually, no. Japan was rebuilt by american money, just like Europe, but it was industrialized in the Meiji Era, with its own resources(but importing american and european technology)
And Japan is the greater investor in South Korea, not the USA. Not that the USA didnt play a major role in South Korea process of industiralization, but I guess today the country is more influenced by Japan.

 

[stalin006]

interesting scenario...........i am thinking of making another one...any ideas?

 

[one_man_assault]

Im thinking of a fictional Cold War scenario...It wont look anything like the real one...Itll focus on one area

 

[Drynagolt]

This is the #1 scenario for North Americans, and more specifically Canadians. THE WAR OF 1812. Most Canadian civvers long for a chance to beat the Americans. I think you shoudl try that out.
