Africa

[unmerged(15893)]

Here is where we will have ALL Information about Africa, including Events, Leaders/Ministers, etc.

I've decided that regional threads (Like CORE has), is a good idea, and shall be implemented now. I will soon post more details

What sub saharan countries are we planning of having having in the game. While they might not have a lot of industry they have a lot of natural resources!!

Other than South Africa, this is a quick answer:

None.

Well, come'on, there has to be a war between Egypt and Israel

I also think there should be a war between Israel and Egypt in the mod, and some way we have to involve Libya.

Sudan can have some type of Concentration/death camp events (Which they basically have now anyway... Evil Scumy Dictatorship!) which will cause some Western Nations to attack it.

Somalia can have some sort of Warlord rise to power, then Somalia will attack Ethiopia, Ertiea, ect. Causing the Western Nations to attack it.

The Congo can have a revolt... You know, some people revolt trying to Resurrect Zaire.

Egypt will of course go to war with Israel, probably with Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. But that could be considered a Middle East Event, not really Africa...

Libya becomes a Rogue country, developing Nukes and stuff, causing the West to attack it. Then maybe we can have Libya rampage, attack Tunisia and Algeria, or something... Or maybe, they could have an event to give up WMD's (Like Libya just did in real life) or not. Not giving them up will make them a Rogue State...

Liberia could have a warlord event like Somalia. The US could have an option of sending Peace Keeping troops...

Um... Those're my sugestions for a few countries.

I can also try to get ship names and Commander/Leader names for Egypt, and other North African Countries...

Thanks for the ideas, and thanks if you can get the leaders.

Unfortunately, a few of those countries you listed won't be in the game. Chech the Country Tags thread for a list. The ones that are might work.

I checked the Nation ID Tag Thread, and there are only like 5 African Nations. Now, unless you just want the entire continant to be one country, you have to add more.

I'm thinking:

Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, The Congo, Mali, Liberia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Angola, South Africa, Madagascar, Kenya, and Mozambique, at least.

Those are just the largest nations in Africa, and the ones that make up Africa's Political Landscape.
Somalia, Libya, Egypt, the Congo, South Africa, and Liberia all have very important Resources, or are very outstanding on the international stage. Also, many African Nations are a constant problem for the US, the US continiously having to step in to restore order to African Nations. And Liberia supplies the US' Rubber... So the continant has some importance... You can't just leave it blank!

 

[unmerged(16020)]

I wish we could include them all. We decided to basically only do North Africa. Since it's impossible to do all of Africa, we decided to focus out tags on two things:

1) Areas that we could complete. It's better to have one empty area rather than a sacattering of empty spots in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Central Asia, Pacific, etc. Basically it was either Africa or South America. Since South America has fewer countries, and its countries have more potential, we decided to exclude most of Africa.

2) Areas closer to the fighting. This means smaller countries like East Timor are more important than Gabon, simply because East Timor is more likely to be annexed.

 

[unmerged(24028)]

Well, you still have to include Liberia though. 90% of the US' Rubber comes from there.

I'm already working on Egypt's Leaders... Found half of them already with one search on Google

Well, you still have to include Liberia though. 90% of the US' Rubber comes from there.

Or just give Liberia to the United States, as I have suggested earlier.

 

[unmerged(16020)]

I don't like that idea. Aesthetics is important too.

We can represent the rubber other ways if we have to.

 

[h345]

For the US rubber that comes from Liberia we can have like an event each year that gives rubber to the US

...or do like I did Africa once: the CWA, the Communist West Africa. Controlled many nations and had a beefed up history that shows how it was fromed 2004.

 

[unmerged(16020)]

We're beginning our game with the start of the Iraq war, so that's not really an option even if we wanted to do it. Thanks for the input though.

 

[unmerged(25503)]

You could make one mega country out a lot of them and it could be a fundamentalist islam regiem later posing a threat to the US (you could call it the UAR united african republic)

 

[unmerged(16020)]

No, Africa has so many religions and ethnicities that a fundamentalist state would be impossible (Ethiopians are Orthodox for example). Also, I just don't like the idea of combining Africa into one country, heh.

 

[unmerged(25503)]

What about a couple large state perpetualy fighting maybe you divide the factions to fight for different groups (one pro western ,south africa, one islamic, sudan, one communist ,congo,?

 

[unmerged(16020)]

Sorry, no. I think all of those scenarios are worse and far less realistic than simply leaving it blank.
