Hello everybody!
Today I'm very happy to share with you some more of screenshots from my latest test game. It was absolutely amazing game! So much drama!
I played as Ronald Reagan, president of USA, in sandbox game. My counterpart in USSR was Gorbachev in 90's. It was historical accurate and therefore my fight against the Soviets was even more interesting.
I was losing 37 to 42 when "Crisis of the Elites" event has happened to USSR in 1991 ( it was also very historical accurate ). "Crisis of the Elites" was a real game changer event! It raised opposition in USSR and I used my advanced spy network there to destabilize local situation and lead to the local Civil War.
But mighty Soviet Union finished the Civil War pretty fast. USSR had great global influence and budget. It helped them to stay alive without harm consequences after Civil War and "Crisis of the Elites". And they still lead in scores. So I had to come up with another plan to be able to do my best to win before the game finish in 2000.
My plan was simple but very hard to do. "We will do it because it is hard!" someone whispered me to my ear. So I decided to steal China with its 4 scores from USSR.
I started different wars around the globe and significantly increased spending to my military. Unfortunately I lost some of my Global Influence to Mr.Gorbachev and it helped the Soviets to dominate in Firepower. But I got more military! Much more. So, yeah, they destroyed a lot of my military but I always had twice more to replace!
Around 1998 I started two Civil Wars at the same time. One in USSR and another in China. On the screen below you can see August 1998. One year and a half before the game is over. Soviets in China were losing most of the military and had nothing to replace already. China was close to defeat. The score - 38 to 44. If China will survive I lost!
In the late 1998 I researched super modern Air and Ground units. It helped me to change combat Firepower to my favor. Soviets couldn't handle two wars any more and they used most of their military mostly in their home country. And, finally, in December 1999 ( one month=one turn before the game is over ) China joins the world of Democracy! I won with the final score 42-40!
It was really fun game. Stay tuned for more screenshots in July!
