Cold War Scenario on GEM with ROM-AND

[thatsgerman2010]

This Scenario is an attempt to make the most realistic and fun Cold War mod for Civ 4 using the ROM-AND mechanics on a GEM map.
Im putting the finishing touches on the Alpha version of this map and I am curious if anyone wanted to test this map out and give me some feedback for it.
When I mean its a Alpha btw, it really is. I want this to be historically accurate but my knowledge mostly consists of the Russian history class I took in college last quarter and thats it so the biggest problem you will see is city placement is probably atrocious, cites aren't named appropriately and leaders have not been given there historic names yet.

Anyway about the game...
The mod/scenario starts in 1950 when the dust from the Second World War has just settled, the world is tense and its up to you how it will play out
your objective is to spread your "religion" to as many people as you can, which wont be easy. You'll need to be tactful and realize that unless you want a global war, most of your fights will be through aliases. Korea and Vietnam are important as if you lose them... your opponent is one step closer to victory.
Play as anyone you wish from the superpowers like the Soviet Union, US, or China, or maybe play a smaller role like Israel or Thailand. Each Civilizations has an important role and different play style, which is all yours to control.
Maybe you wish to play as the Hungarians and plan to build up an army to revolt against the rule of Soviet Russia, or play as Iraq and burn Jerusalem to the floor and rule Arabia, or play as the Russians and start the Global War that could have happened.

If there is enough interest I hope to keep improving this scenario by adding a unique tech tree, more units, and unique ideologies. Alpha will be ready by the end of this week if there's enough interest for it

I can't wait to play it!

I have some questions for you about this mod:
-What new ideologies and techs do you have in mind?
-Will there be city-razing and settlers? I think it would be a good idea to leave the two out.
-This reminds me of the 1939 mod. Will you have the same corporations, wonders, civics, and techs, or will this mod be completely different?

Don't give up on this mod. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it, and I don't want to see all of this hard work go to waste!

Sounds interesting, can you post a list of civs?

 

[thatsgerman2010]

Ive reskinned Christianity and Hinduism to be Communism and Democracy to be the two main religions
Im not exactly sure how to eliminate settlers easily, or city razing, i would like to eliminate it however... It will most likely stay in for the Alpha build but will have it out by the Beta

Playable civs are available and new Ideologies are also available

Alpha version is almost avaliable, the only thing left is army placement
again remember this is a Alpha version so there is a lot of work to do, but there is enough so far I think to be playable

Update: Armies are finally placed but it seems once one thing is complete, another problem i have worked on bites me in the butt
I have to redo cultures because apparently putting 1000 culture is a lot as a lot of cities wrap their cultures around others, so now i need to put all of them down in 500
Very close to finishing but a lot of mindless labor to finish this scenario up

 

[thatsgerman2010]

after testing this mod for the first time I believe that its impossible to create an scenario at this scale with this mod, its far to complex
My first 3 turns take 3 minutes each (and I have an ASUS U50 with an i3) and i really dont do much, i was aiming at 30 seconds to a minute but that clearly isnt possible
I still want to do this scenario but ill have to make my own mod
If anyone wants to try the Alpha Version Ill put it up, but im afraid unless you have a great computer, it probably wont be worth the download

 

[christos200]

i think greece should be in this mod. other than that is a very good mod.

 

[thatsgerman2010]

greece is in there, sorry i forgot to put it on playable
Working on a new version, using Neoteric world instead of ROM AND
About halfway done

 

[PAVLOS_GR300]

[SimonB1er]

I'll try it!!

Errr, shouldn't it be communism and capitalism, not communism and democracy?
It's sort of awkward, considering (actual) communism is supportive of democracy, and that many supporters of the US (such as South Korea until 1987) were dictatorships, and nowhere near democratic.

And besides, it was ideological war between the ideals of the free market, and ideals of socialism, not one that was socialism vs. democracy (they're not mutually exclusive either).

But it's your mod.... so yeah.

 

[PAVLOS_GR300]

yes the democracy can be changed to capitalism but a lot of usa allies had democracy,for example my country greece.and u cant say that communism is democracy and for stalin it is worst than dictatorship

also can someone tell me how i get this scenario??i found no download icon

 

[CIVPlayer8]

Another small note: India should not be on the same team as N.A.T.O., seeing how they were neutral. And South Korea probably should be with U.S.

 

[bantipc]

Frankly speaking... the scenario will require a more than powerful computer to run... why cant u make cold war scenario with a properly edited rhy's map, because 18000 tiles is too much when running on rom-and mechanics

 

[bantipc]

Sorry didnt see your post.... forgive my comments... btw when will the new scenario be released

 

[vannam667]

Where can I dowload it?plase for I a link dowload?

 

[taothuatuong]

where can I dowload mod Cold War Scenario on GEM with ROM-AND? please for I adress dowload

 

[Virote_Considon]

As said, India should not be NATO at all. However, Thailand probably should be and Australia definitely should be.

North Korea should be in the Communist alliance. Cuba shouldn't be (it was a staunch US ally in 1950). How is the Sino-Soviet split going to be represented, since it essentially added a 3rd party (including open conflict between the USSR and PRC at times)?

Is this mod alive??
