Facing Terrorism - World 2015 Scenario

[Darth Revan]

Hello Everybody.

I am glad to upload my new scenario about the actual days. I called this scenario Facing Terrorism - World 2015. The name says all... This is a Mod Mod of World 2013, in which i added the following civilizations:

The Republic of Donetsk (the rebel Ukraine)
Ukraine (leaded by Poroshenko)
Terroris Territory (which is a sort of merger of the biggest terrorist organizations: ISIS, BOKO ARAM, AL QAEDA (Talibans).

All these new civilizations are playable, but be aware if you choose the Terrorists you will be at war with ALL CIVILIZATIONS of the scenario (none excluded). On the other hand, you will have a huge army of super trained terrorists plus special forces and T55 at your disposal. I added a lot of general to all the cities owned by terrorists so that even the new units you will create will be skilled. However playing as terrorist you defense abilities will be tested as ever before!! On the other hand, playing as Putin, Obama or EU won't be easy to eradicate the terrorist organizations, so don't underestimate them.
A second important thing is that i removed all the ICBM and Nukes from every civilization, and I removed them from the mod. In this way if you play as terrorists the IA will must destroy you by other means. Using nukes is impossible to play as terrorist, you will be destroyed in a couple of turns (imagine to be bombed by Obama, EU, Russia and China at the same time!!!! In addition to this without nukes is a thing similar to reality, in which the use of nukes is excluded.

As you can see I have added Ukraine and Rebel Ukraine, which are at war .

Enjoy

I am surprised no one commented about this modmod after 114 downloads.

It is my understanding that Terrorist Territories are not the genuine barbarians, but rather renamed Libyans from the original mod, correct? In that regard, is it possible to make peace as Terrorists?

I am a little conflicted about being at war with everybody. In real life terrorist territories are not being invaded by the entire world.

Also why did you place Baku in Central Asia and named it Bakou?

interesting mod however there is no merger terrorist territory, Al Qaeda and IS arguably fighting each other ideologically, while if you count Nusra as a part of terrorist organization they also frontally active repelling IS. So you must make a distinction between Al-Qaeda, Taliban (this is arguably a former nation not insurgence or terrorist organization), Nusra, Islamic Front (they are freedom fighter not necessary terrorist), FSA, Kurdish fighter, Asad and IS. I also second what Tigraes said, however it is a nice work and idea.

Hi Tigranes! Thanks for your tips! Well considering that Boko Haram and ISIS really joined together into an alliance in these last days it is not far as the idea I created in the mod. Well, why I have chosen to put the terrorists at war with all the world? Just because to put a big defensive challenge to all civfanatics players. I don't know if you tried to play using terrorists, but it is not so difficult as might seem from the scenario's description. Then Barack Obama is pressing N.A.T.O. for a coordinated landing attack in Libia and Siria. In this case the main european countries plus United States, Canada Mexico will really take part in this offensive. Even Russia and China are considering the idea to attack ISIS. So in the close future even this thing might become real.. btw I hope you enjoyied my scenario.

Yeah, it is almost scary how your mod idea was a real life prophecy.

Will you fix Baku, please?

I have spent a lot of time optimizing map for 2010 mod (for example largest city in Southern Hemisphere was missing). If you have 2010 with update 6 you can compare our maps from here.

I gave the mod a try, playing as the Terrorists on noble.

Either the terrorists are way too overpowered, or the nearby states are too underpowered.

In 25 turns, I have conquered all of North Africa (Including Egypt), Mali, East Africa, parts of sub-Saharan Africa, all of the Middle East (Including Israel), Anatolia and Persia. There is no way that ISIS, Boko Haram or the Taliban could conquer and hold that much ground within the next few years, forget several months.

I start off with the same techs of any nation, so I can make aircraft carriers, cruise missiles, destroyers, and sophisticated aircraft defence, even though it is highly unlikely that any of these groups will get the production capabilities to make these things on their own.

I am also making 500+ gold/turn, and outside of the occasional USA spawns in my territory (Which I get rid of instantly) and the worldwide agreement to bomb my coastlines, I am relatively safe. It would be impossible for a terror group to take up half a continent without there being extreme reactions from every civ in the game.

Here are some things I would do to solve this situation:

-Decrease how many units the terrorists start off with, especially how many tanks they have. These groups have at most 60,000 soldiers.
-Buff up nearby civs. Israel for example should be near impossible to take. Areas where terrorists have cities should be littered with soldiers. It should be a challenge to expand.

Other than that, it's a great idea. I found it amusing how the people most actively fighting me were the Chinese and Kazakhstan.

Thanks for the mod! Downloaded the mod to my son in 14s who is very interested in history. Now he has spent two days in hotseat mode playing all civs including terrorists, says it's best thing ever. Terrorists are super powerful of course, but that's not a problem for him...
