Cold War: It's Finally Done

@MonsieurMurdoch Thank you!

@Militarized-Milkmen
No problem! -
So heres the scoop everyone…
-
National objectives have been completely fleshed out. If that interests people I’ll post it here, if not, I’ll just add it to the Google doc.
-
Victory Conditions are gone! they’ve been replaced with all no lose conditions. You win the game if all the powers in the other side have lost, and you have not.
-
There’s a new power. NATO lost 25% of its power which has gone to the brand new power SEATO.
-
National Advantages are here! Optional rules for national advantages are almost done. I’m thinking six each so it’s fair to all the powers. If people want to see em I’ll post them here
-
-
I’ve read other people’s previous comments and I’ve tried to make sure that most of my advantages are national not just honorable mentions to famous units or one trick ponies in their militaries

Some map Updates

Some updates

No island should be surrounded by only one sea zone and its better to remove unnecessary islands
Sahara desert should block Algeria and Libya only to move south
Why Eastern Germany is more valuable than Western Germany? Why Italy is more valuable than France or Britain? Azores and Libya do not deserve these values
Portugal should not touch to sz 16, Germany slo should not touch Italy.
There should have been less sea zones in the Pacific.
Some territory names are wrong.

@Navalland #1: I completely disagree. Just because an island is small doesn’t mean it’s not important. The startegic value of staging areas was very important in nearly every war, ever. And just because a island is important, strategically, doesn’t mean that it should get it’s very own seazone. Like I said above, size does not correlate to importance.
-
@Navalland #2: The Sahara does block movement for everything but planes.
-
@Navalland East Germany is more valuable because that’s how it is in other games. I assume that is based on the natural resources and industrial ability of that area and would therefore still hold true in the 50’s. The fact that East Germany was worse off historically had more to do with economic neglect from the soviet government, something that players get to control in this game.
-
@Navalland #4 Again this game stems from a ww2 game where I believe, Italy is it’s own power. Because of this, I assume Italy needed a boost. I saw no reason to change it, especially since Britain was already diverting much of it’s war funding to it’s pointless conflicts, and france was extremely unhelpful during the cold war. You can attribute the IPC gap to that.
-
@Navalland #5 Azores is to valuable, yeah your probably right, however, it’s not something so earth shattering that it warrants making a change unless Gen wants to
-
@Navalland #6 You’ve got to be joking. Libya was one of the greatest untapped oil reserves of the area, not to mention being in the center of almost every trade route, and strategic access to the med. I mean, sure, most of that money was wasted, however, it’s still worth it.
-
@Navalland #7 It doesn’t touch NA-16. If your referring to NA-14 then yes you are right, however, territories almost entirely contained withing other territories are stupid
-
@Navalland #8 That little tail that austria has the divides up germany and italy is so small that it shouldn’t be put in
-
#9 Your wrong. there’s no other way to put it. You cant make baseless accusations with no actual evidence supporting your claim, if you actually want to be taken seriously.
-
#10 You would have to be more clear about that last one. I have no idea what your referring to
-
I didn’t say small islands are unimportant, just better to remove islands if there is no reasons to fight for them like new hebrides and fiji which surrounded by only one sea zone. One of them is redundant but might be reasons to fight for one of them only.
In a board game every piece of territory (even if worthless) and sea zones have a reason to be exist hence distortion becomes handy because having too much territory not always impact positively. For example if it was a WWII map, these extra sea zones between Britain and N.Africa would cripple torch option.
Its impossible to justify these values other than balance purpose. Western Germany has always been, more populated, industrialized and richer even if we assume its value decreased due to Allies bombing in WWII Western Germany was also richer in terms of steel and coal production.
Lybia wasn’t the leading nation in crude oil production either. They were USA, Soviet Union, Venezuela, Iran and Saudi Arabia the letter three deserve more value also.
