Preview: INES II: Gone is the Old Guard

[Lord_Iggy]

So when did the very first events start diverging from our history Imago?

 

[Imago]

Ah. Good question. Things probably started diverging a little in the 1800s, but there were only minor changes until World War II, which ended in a distinct lack of nuclear hellfire. Still, the US and the USSR became rival superpowers with the war's aftermath, and their game was played similarly to OTL. The big postwar difference was that Africa diverged greatly from OTL after decolonization, with a key change being that not many in Africa thought the old colonial borders were particularly valid. The specifics of this I'll leave to D'Art, Kraznaya, and anyone else who wants to take a nation on the continent. Too, Indonesia might have gone for a monarchy in the immediate post-war period, but I'll leave this fuzzy in case someone takes the country.

Aside from Africa, major changes didn't start to take place until the Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet and European disorder led to disorder in North America, which led to disorder in both Asia and South America. The world kind of dominoed in the 1990s, and it is important to remember that until that decade, the world map was almost exactly OTL's. (With the exception of Africa, again.)

EDIT: Also, as this preview thread is moving away from its original purpose, here's a reminder that I'm still accepting reservations.

Imago, might I suggest starting up the game thread?

Also, get an AIM?

I'm considering it. We're heading in that direction anyway. Someone else encourage me, and I might put it up in a couple hours or less.

Nah. I'm Luddite in that way. PM or post and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Apparently I just encouraged myself. Main thread will be up posthaste, with all the functionality of the preview thread, and more. I still specifically want a player for either ASEAN or the Indonesian Empire.

Then, the war should start in 1991 and end in 1993. I'll change that.

Hello all;
I'd like to take Morrocco if it is still open.

 

[Imago]

Welcome! You are now Morocco. However, the main thread is here. Please post on the other side of that link in the future.
