W.I.P World War 3

Now that I got the terrain installed I will go over some of the details of my upcoming scenario.


The year is 2010, backed by the US the nation of Kurdistan is formed in the Middle East, in Iran Kurdish rebels break away to join the new nation, Iran attacks the Kurds, as a result the US comes to help the Kurds. Meanwhile North Korea, seeing this as there chance attacks South Korea again. China needing reasorcesto support its industrial needs, not only makes a grab at Taiwan but also invades Russia. Thus begins World War 3.
The Civs I use might change as need(I might have to merge some of them)

Special resorces to "split" (in a way) merged contries
Phony wonders will be used to limit city razing

Any advice is welcome, I am learning here.

 

In my opinion this should be how the alliances are if you look iv edited.

 

The "Arab Alliance" is Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Yemon, Omon and Egypt.

 

IMO it would be boring with two sides against each other. You should change the plot so there would be more different fighting alliances and neutral nations which could flip back and forth.

 

I wholeheartedly agree with that.
Seeing as how you are planning to set it in the future you could really play around with things, so why dont you.

 

I am going to when I make a World War 3 aftermath scenario,

 

Breing this back up

 

William GBTW is now on the WW3 team.

 

Considering the national makeup of the Arab Alliance, I think they’d rather die than side with Iran. Especially the Saudis.

The Arab alliance should be unaligned but have plenty of oil. That’ll make them a nice joker to the big powers. Perhaps you can have two Arab factions? The Arab Gulf States (oil states with Jordan as a loyal puppet) and the, oh I don’t know, Allied Arab Republics (dry states with Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and the other Maghrebi nations)? For kicks, a Hizbullah dominated Lebanon could side with Iran. Iran could also control parts of southern Iraq. If possible, Pakistan should be an independent nation (to keep the A-bomb from the Gulf States and Republics), same with strong nations like Indonesia and Turkey. And what about the Central Asian states? Imagine if the IMU (Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan) had finally outdone the Hizb ut-Tahrir and overthrown the Central Asian despots. An IMU dominated Central Asia (all the –istans save for US controlled Afghanistan… or Kabul) would be an interesting buffer between Russia, China, Pakistan, and Iran.

And what about an EU faction?

 

The Arab Alliance is the Pro US Middle East on the Allied Side.

 

Grouping Turkey with Arab Alliance, or Syria with Iran makes no sense whatsoever. Syria has nothing in common with Iran except being yet another scapegoat of Bush government. Turkey would be unaligned rather than aligning with a US that suddenly stops valueing their alliance. Turks and Arabs don't get along very well either. The only remotely sensible grouping for Turkey could be with Azerbaijan. CIS is a crumbling body, with some members having resigned from parts of the agreements - If you need a USSR, do a Cold War scenario or alternate scenario in which Communism did not fall. Italy and Greece...no idea whet that means either.

If you want to reduce the number of civs, grouping US and Israel makes a lot more sense than these groupings. Also group entire EU into one civ (they are more joined than CIS). African Union is a better name than UN, for the African countries.

I'm sorry, but IMO civ4's way of handling civs is not compatible with a realistic simulation of the entire modern world. You need a Paradox engine for that.

 

I agree that Israel better go with the US, so as to make room for another nation.
Italy and Greece sounds good to me though They are a south EU group afterall.

 

Very Interesting plot indeed.

 

Still working on this.
