Cold War Mods?

[Krunchyman]

Does anyone know of a good Cold War Mod? I mean a mod that sort of simulates the Cold War in which victory occurs by either eliminating the enemy in a massive nuclear strike before he has the chance to respond, or by making peace and ending the tension. Also, is there a mod in which nukes are way more powerful? I mean, in civ 3 and 4, nukes are actually pretty weak, not even being able to destroy cities, and only taking out half a population.

I would also be interested in a Cold War mod. I think there was one in development, but that it died off. You should search though, because I'm not sure.

There is lots of material; units and leaders already in the database for a Cold War mod. Someone should really make one, if there isn't one in existence or in development already. It would make for an interesting modding challenge and most certainly get a dedicated following.

There is a good Cold War scenario, I know that. But it uses the vanilla units and isn't a real mod.

There is also something here. But I haven't checked it out properly. Looks promising and there's still some action on the thread too. You can probably get more information about CW mods there as well.

The problem with the cold war: It's essentially not about war, but civ is mainly about war.
I don't think, you can really make a good mod in this scenario.

That's true. Any good Cold War mod would have to get hot sooner or later. A what-if mod about different situations during the Cold War developing into real conflict would be very interesting. What if the Soviets had gone for all-out war during the Korean war, or the Cuban Missile Crisis going out of control, or what if the coup against Gorbachev had succeeded and the generals had marched into Western Europe in 1989-91? Exciting stuff.
