Modern Day Scenario, towards Armageddon

[mikey1871]

ok so i got some free time and i tried the PUTIN v.2

I like it lots except that i have NO decisions at all and i don't get any events firing at all. I "#" that one line about the CAR in julian's line of code. Also activated the 4GB patch correctly.

DID i screw up somewhere so that i don't get any decisions at all when i play russia?

Also i normally play with democracies CAN dec war, I like sprites!! tech is for everyone and i added 16 yrs to the game, monthly saves, normal normal and very fast. those are my "Option" settings.

Oh and i figured out a very simple cheat to get lots of IC's for almost free that doesn't seem to bog down the game at all IC's are GOOD hahahahahaha

YES, i'll admit it "I'm Greedy for IC's" but not for real time money. yeah i know it's a dichotomy, but everyone has at least one.

Horray some feedback at last!
I thought I got rid of all those rapes from those events, did I miss one?
Units don't cost much in IC, except for aircraft which are expensive, and RUS has more IC in version 2, but whatever takes your fancy. Units don't cost much because they are more vulnerable in version 2 than in version 1.
Yeah, RUS needs more work. I did have a few war opportunities, but probably made things too complicated for the events to fire.

I think I'll get more bolshie with Putin in the next version, and Trump, or Clinton. I was reading that it was Clinton who persuaded Obama to bomb the shit out of Libya. SO, what kind of President will she make?
It is difficult to get Russian information and background stuff.

The famous conspiracy.


More seriously,all my life I have heard that the EU was a block that would allow small europeans countries to match with large powers (USA, Russia and China) and that the euro would become the first currency of the world and end the domination of the dollar(REALLY WOW these people were visionaries).


Yet in recent years the US has done everything to keep the EU united,during the Greek crisis,Americans have recommended to the European not to throw Greece out of the Euro and you'll see when the referendum concerning the Brexit will take place,the USA "will warn"the UK to stay into the EU.


Why the USA defend the future of an economic zone that would be a threat to them ?

America has a vested interest in keeping Europe strong for the sake of fending off the Russians. That doesn't mean, however, that America is secretively manipulating Europe to form a united country. As you said, why would America create another superpower to challenge our own hegemony.

America's current foreign policy and clinton's and trumps will continue to be to scapegoat Russia and screw up the Euro so the "Great USA" and i'm being very facetious about America being great. it's a shell actually.

I don't know what I did wrong but i reinstalled 2.0 and did the line change and now i do have decisions. But now i also have that damn pesky Intelligence tab CTD bug once again... ERRRR

But it's nice to get to do the decisions again. i like the infrastructure and research and the new missiles are cool. i can blow up isil from southern russia.

Humm, maybe i should send nutjob sarah palin over to that russian missile base.... maybe she can see ISIL from there lol

Some of the event cards are still difficult to read the actual words on them. The infrastructure one with the highway cloverleaf, great pic by-the-way, is had to read. so is the one where russia sent something, missiles i think, to Kazakhstan.

You are wrong,Russia is not a threat to america or europe.

I do not mean that Russians are the good guys, I just want to say that we are no longer in 1946, the USSR no longer exists, Russia has a huge territory, but they are only 140 million against 500 million people living in the EU, Russian demography is very low and before the end of the 21th century, they will be less than 100 million so they can not match with Europe or the USA.

The real threat is china and the USA are already going to focus on asia.

That doesn't mean, however, that America is secretively manipulating Europe to form a united country. As you said, why would America create another superpower to challenge our own hegemony.

EU has aggravated all the problem since Maastricht treaty(1992 USSR is no longer a threat and the USA no longer need a strong Europe),the union has succeeded in weakening the countries of Western Europe, thanks to shengen and the €

Sorry Nova, but Words... is FULL OF SHIT. Both Reagan and Dumb dumb bush, yeah i mean the nutjob who invaded Iraq for nothing, made many more executive orders than Obama has. Stupid white people here in america just have a problem with a NON white guy in the damn white house, period! The USA DOESN'T have a working legislative branch at the moment.

The USA should have a civil war event in your mod, so that the smart non hater people in America can get rid of the rednecked trump lovers if Trump goes too far right. Like that's even possible, he's so far right it's not funny. It's scary in fact.

Please just go off what you get to read in RT, BBC and Reuters. PLEASE don't listen to anyone who watches or listens to "News creations" like CNN or FOX or any Corporate news media from America. it's all bastardized and not impartial anymore.

No disrespect to Mr. Words... it's just that american news viewpoints are all corporate bullshit.

Bush was his own mess, I don't contest that. My post even said that, unless you've already forgotten who our last president was. Neither him nor Reagan tried to fuck over Congress though.

Every US news publication is garbage, you're right. I don't contest that either. It's no wonder all of them and their corporate sponsors are constantly attacking trump either. BBC and RT are almost as bad, being the propaganda outlets of police states, but I'm sure that's nothing you haven't hopefully taken to heart when reading their filth. The fact you'd assume I read anything by any of those outlets is an insult in itself.

I dislike Obama because he has, like his predecessor, sold this country out to multinational corporations and special interest groups, and expanded US involvement abroad just as he promised not to do. The legislature is a mess but it's a mess that represents perfectly the division in this country today. I like that you tried to tell me why it is that I or anyone else in this country might disagree with him. 'Stupid white people' eh?

Trump being on the far right? That's the pendulum effect for you. You can't ignore voices in a democracy for long before they build up to greater extremes. I'm not sure how avoiding war with Russia over a bunch of sand in the desert, nor a moratorium on muslim immigration, nor even the construction of a wall on our southern border are in any way 'far right' concepts, but if you told me I was a fucking nazi for supporting them I'd gladly take up that charge at this point.

The country needs a President who will do what is best for the people of the United States. No more pointless military interventions, no more shipping industry off to the third world, no more taking in all the world's refuse. Sanders and Trump were reflections of that need, though only one of the two has any chance at the presidency.

And if there's a civil war, left and right won't matter anymore; willing traitors and whores of the regime will be the first to go, and I'd only hope you're not one of them then.

Except Trump is unique of all the candidates in not wanting to provoke Russia over pointless conflicts like those in Syria or the Ukraine, and has explicitly stated this multiple times over and over at virtually every single GOP debate that covered foreign policy.

As long as Russia is ruled by a dictator and has nukes, it is a threat. Especially since they're trying to rebuild their old Soviet empire.

Also, at the current levels of military strength, and, a more important metric, readiness, Russia could likely defeat most of Europe if America doesn't get in their way. Number of people is really an irrelevant metric when the armies of Europe are woefully unprepared for a full-scale conventional war.

Define "provoke". People who say some basic measures to defend against Putin's rabid expansionism are going to lead to WWIII make me groan.

The conflicts are also hardly "pointless", to me that shows an ignorance of present day geopolitics.

• Syria is vital to the balance of power in the Middle East, whether it will be aligned with Iran/Russia or Turkey/Saudi Arabia. The Iranians want an Iran-Iraq-Syria axis, Russia likes having these friendly governments in charge, while Turkey, The US, and Saudi Arabia are desperate to keep Iran isolated.
• Russia needed to maintain control of Crimea for the naval base, and to prevent Ukraine from ever joining NATO in the near future. Russia is trying to keep her neighbors in her hegemony to rebuild her national strength and international status. NATO, on the other hand, wants to stop unfriendly Russia from resurging.

They are quite pointless. I think Trump's onto something. America has won its Gold Medal. There's no point doing victory laps. Russia took a tiny chunk of land and got to blow some stuff up? Does it really matter in the end in the American dominated world we live in? Russia doesn't have the economic or industrial capability to compete anymore. The only reclaim they have to anything is they can compete with the US technologically on the land and in the air. (Navally and the new fronter space they are woefully behind but the Americans are moronically not pursuing the massive advantage they have..letting it sit and let the world play catch up in Space. Navy wise they are still firing on all cylinders)

They are merely fighting for table scraps in a race that's already been won. Russia is much like Germany after World War 1. It's only chance for restoring itself to anything more is to reassert control over its formerly controlled nations. Each year it doesn't they grow further and further apart, they grow further and further more combative. The only chance they have to become a threat is Russia restoring its cold war borders.

I honestly think Obama's weak. He(Putin) has a chance now to do such. But a greater chance may lie ahead with a leader like Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton who I would find even weaker and more inept then Obama is, as militarily Obama has shown he isn't afraid to fire some missiles at terries. The one thing Putin doesn't want is Trump at the table. Trump may look like a fool but he's had success in the past..enough to take a fortune of 250 million and turn it to 4 billion. Guys not a idiot and understands the advantages the US has. He will push and use them, Example the wall..he gets he can force Mexico to be his lap dog. That's worrying for Russia. Because sure Trump won't care while they eat a little here and there but any full scale escalation he will do something about it. Ideally Bernie gets elected and Russia has free reign to do what it wants.

Daesh should have a high beligriance.

Well I don't think their belligerence can be faulted prior to forming the Caliphate? Do you mean after forming the Caliphate? Under what circumstances?

 

[sanmartijn]

so other countries can declare war on daesh like the dutch

 

[novapaddy]

I've increased the belligerence for the caliphate. I think prior to forming the caliphate, they already have enough states against them. I need to give them some chance...

I'm dealing with much bigger issues today. NATO will pray they are on friendly terms with RUS when they see what I have conjured up as an enemy for the West. The West quivers in fear at the sight of this alliance forming in the East. Now you can have your united European army, since you'll need it...

Oh, and I've given them a high belligerence, so the Dutch can fight them alone if you so wish...

 

[mikey1871]

sorry, but the only country that wants to "Take over the world" is the USA. We have over a hundred military bases and CIA stations in the middle east. We're not there to protect anyone but the Oil interests and mineral interests.

 

[sanmartijn]

I just played with Russia and Syria was anexed by the free Syrian Army that doesnt sound right lol

 

[mikey1871]

So Nova, YOu thought your little Communist Punta was gonna take Russia away from Mr.Putin, ehh?

Well, you were sadly mistaken! I was prepared. it only took about 25 divisions to conquer "Soviet Russia". It was a fun month of game play though

Now, that damn Caliphate...... Those fuckers reproduce like damn cockroaches and they are about as hard to kill. It took me 2 damn game years and over 60 dicisions to exterminate that damn Caliphate, but i DID IT. Only stayed up all night to do it. But it's done now. The hard part was Not invading anyone from the European side. i had decided to invade turkey. that wasn't easy.

 

[sanmartijn]

I did not know that Moldova was communist sams as Lithuania.
