New: near future scenario

[Rita Poon]

OT, SoGgy.

Silver (if you read this) what would be a good flag for the Empire of India? Would it be OK to use the BJP flag?

Not to suggest the BJP are imperialists-I honestly have no clue.

Or if this is a military coup, maybe we could use the Army flag?

Oh yeah, bigmeat-could you give me a list of exactly what civs you want included in the game? So far I just have those mentioned in your first post. Will there be any Latin Americans? Africans?

RE: Pacific Allies-Have a SEATO flag, but that organization is now defunct. America's allies in the Pacific are loosely unified under the banner of APEC. ASEAN is an increasingly important organization in East Asia-but doesn't include Japan, Canada, Taiwan, Australia, or Korea. Though IIRC they do have associate status.

How come everyone responds to this thread but theres almost no comments for my own thread?(The Colony War in the C&C board)

Cuz no one likes you =p

One thing to think about in a future scenario is energy needs. Oil is going to be getting phased out around here and other technologies (like clean-coal) will be taking over. Having techs that give access to some fancy hi-tech renewable stuff might be cool as well.

Clean Coal is a big strategic goal for the US since it is sitting on one of the largest (if not largest) proven reserves of coal in the world. You could use large tidal flows and volcanic vents as shield bonuses as they would give a serious boost in power for a city.

Non-militarily, that's likely to be the most important aspect for any super power at this year.

 

[Rita Poon]

Dunno about this clean coal. Honestly the reason SoG's scenario never interested me is because it was too fantastic. Last thing I want to see this scenario do is introduce a bunch of future techs. As soon as you introduce "robots" to any scenario, I'm out.

 

[bigmeat]

That was uncalled for...

But RP: Nobody even bothered to read the entire history or what actually the scenerio was...Its not a near-future scenerio...

 

[bigmeat]

ya it is, it says that it is

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Not this one...I was referring to another thread.

 

[bigmeat]

oh, i apoligize

 

[Rita Poon]

OK. Wasn't sure if Japan & Korea were seperate civs. Just assumed they were part of SEATO. I'm guessing that "America's allies" and "EU's allies" will be part of the American & EU civs. Will use the ASEAN flag for the Indochina league: http://flagspot.net/flags/int-asea.html

Does the English Civ include Commonwealth nations? ie, Canada, Jamaica & Australia? Here's a nice flag for them: http://flagspot.net/flags/cwn.html

Possible African League flag: http://flagspot.net/flags/int-uam.html

Is the South African Confederacy an apartheid state or an extension of the current South African government?

BTW-the adjective for "Congo" is "Congolese"

SoG-it struck me as an ultra-futuristic scenario. I'll be honest, I saw the words "space colony" and I groaned. Nothing personal. Just that this game is really more for history buffs than sci-fi fanatics. Maybe you'd get more feedback on an Alpha Centauri message board

 

[bigmeat]

the union jack will do for england

i like the african flag and the asian one

you keep up the good work poon

and south africa is an extension

You could use the army flag in the case of a military coup. BJP is Hindu Nationalist so you could use them as well. BTW a military coup is unlikley since the Army is divided into 4 sectors so they don't have enough power to overthrow the government.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Jamaica is part of the Commonwealth? I didn't know that. Interesting.

Another idea Bigmeat would be to combine some of the African Nations into the African Union(An African version of the EU). Also theres the option of "Oceania" or a union of the pacific island nations. Just an idea.

RP: The Colony War scenerio is Far Future, but I'm planning on creating a series of Scenerios which takes place from 10 years in the future and onward, sort of "prequels" to the Colony War scenerio. Don't count it out...at least check it out...

 

[Rita Poon]

I'll check it out.

Thinking about using the ANC flag for the South African Confederation:

"It is to be noted that the ANC is one of the oldest black African political movements, having been established as such in 1912, but built upon an even earlier movement. It was therefore regarded as the senior liberation movement in Africa and at least three of the neighbouring countries adapted the ANC colours for their own use. So we see the flags of Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe all containing the colours black, green and yellow/gold"

Now I'm just stuck on Argentina. They aren't aligned with Brazil in Mercosur for this scenario. So who joined Agrentina? Just Chile, Uruguay & Paraguay?

 

[bigmeat]

ya, and peru

 

[Rita Poon]

Alright, got the flag. One last question-is there anything I need to know about the nature of these civs? For example: The normal Indian flag isn't ideal for this scenario, because modern India is pretty fiercely anti-Imperialist. That's why I'm going with the BJP flag. Naturally I plan on using the Communist flag for N Korea & the Republic flag for S Korea. Is that OK?

I read it .

BTW: when can we expect this mod to be out?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, first, I've got to finish the promised Far Horizons expansion(waiting for DPII's African Spearman to be realised). Then I'm going to work on the scenerio(should take me about a week to finish the entire scenerio).

I might put this mod(as in bigmeat's) under the "Colony Wars" series..in order to represent the early 20th century and Mideast conflict. Saves me some work. What do you think Bigmeat? I might have to change a few things though with the official Colony Wars history.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Well... To be honest, I was talking about Bigmeat's scenario, as his is already in the completed scenario sub-forum. Looking forward to yours too though (I'm not just saying that to make you feel better either, I love space mods )...
