The United States stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe and all are subject to Soviet influence and increased measures of control. The beginning of a terminal conflict!
We are launching the Grand Campaign for Terminal Conflict. Embark on a single player adventure as you lead through the Cold War, with the first part out today!
Fancy some information about Cold War concepts and game elements, select the MIRVIN button as we are expanding the in game information. Now a player can navigate the information that they need without having to pop open the Terminal Conflict wiki for the more easily answered questions. Like, If you wanted to know more about your ELITES, what they represent and what you can spend them on (CIA/KGB operations). This isn't solely limited to Elites, as you can find information about all the other Interests available. This is at present only available within the "Big Picture" campaign and is designed to help out any new player learn about the tools that they have at their disposal before they decide to move onto bigger Scenarios against MIRVIN or other players. Or help a returning/current player brush up on their knowledge.
Likewise on this event filled day, we are proud to announce that Strategy Mill, is teaming up with MacGameStore and WinGameStore and as of today you can find Terminal Conflict on their shelves at WinGameStore and MacGameStore.
Now a message from the Terminal Conflict Coding Department
"Are you a modder who has tired of the boredom of uploading to the Workshop or the drudgery of file improvement. Despair no longer. Shall we play a game? Yes, MIRVIN presents Terminal Tic-Tac-Toe. Make the most out of your upload time! You are welcome!"
Last but definitely not the least, we are introducing the Big Short decision chain, created by none other than renown modder Leif 'Greatexperiment' Miller with imagery by the legendary Jonathan 'Indyclone77' Bagley. Continuing on the theme of the happy 50s, it all starts in the USA, as across the country one can find a renewed sense of optimism and a smile on the faces of every American. Many have lifted themselves out of material poverty and boast a home, car, and all the comforts of a modern life. The Masters of Finance have spoken openly about a new era of endless growth fueled by cheap and easy credit. Though a few voices call for caution, it seems that for now they have been silenced by the contentment of the newly empowered consumer class.
Does the grand strategy of the Cold War fascinate you as much as it does us? Come learn the deeper facets of Terminal Conflict and compete with other gamers and developers of the same mind, on Terminal Thursdays!
