Well, if the game holds true to what it promises, this will be really great. But one will have to wait for a playable demo or word of mouth spreading about it being good before drawing any conclusions.

Hail Snall,

Thanks for the link. A very interesting game indeed. But of course like you said...after EU :)

This reminds me of an old game I have. Similar to risk, a picture of the world. You get so many starting armies. Takeover the world.

This seems very good though. Is the 3d engine looking good? I hope these ideas of diplomacy, production, economy are real. Like EU. Is their a religious factor in the game?

It's called Defcon correct? When is it scheduled for release or is there no date?

I read a little more and this game seems like a larger EU. But with some really cool stuff. Over 140 playable countries. I hope the real military units have color other than gray. I'm drooling. I hope the game will be detailed enough that you can't take over the whole world but can expand in other ways, or even slightly militarily.

I think a great idea would be scenarios for such a game.

If you had a WWII scenario for this game. Who would need World in Flames. This would be a million times better. So many neat scenarios could be built.

It would take some time though to include such scenarios as ancient times to the 19th century. Maybe even impossible for saome ideas, but the sheer prospect I'm ashamed to say seems more attractive than civ III. That is if such scenarios could be made in this game.

Hail Stormprophet,

As far as a release date they are not exactly sure. They said they are going to send this game into a private beta on Feb. 15th. After that they said it would go public a few weeks later. I am not sure if they mean public sale or public beta-like Diablo II though.

So this game is only downloadable?

Must you download all 600 megs or something?

Or do they send the game via email?

I guess this completely counts out my scenarios idea. And no multiplayer?

Better have another edition to back this one up.

Outside of EU, the only other game I am rabid about playing will probably not leave the land of vaporware. The Road to Moscow has been cooking for a little over three years with no end in sight. Hope I'm wrong.

Here are some links for info.

This is the old egroups forum started by BDG. Still has some activity.

Wargamer.com (when the page is up) has some info, live chat from a while back, and screen shots. Page has been down a lot though

Can't agree more, Tropico looks like it will be a blast. Hey, how can you go wrong when you have hookers for units?

Tropico is like the sims meet sim city. Just very exciting.

Back to my questions about Defcon. Anyone know if it is just a downloadable game or what is up?

Well, there will be a beta of limited scope..the dl won't be all that much..i would say not even close to 25 mb..but i suppose i could be wrong..it will be around 25$ over the net, by credit card..or check if u want..You can dl the world viewer right now in the dl section and u can look at the diff countries..not all the stuff though..all the info for every country is also on the site..i already pre-ordered EU a while ago and now when this comes out i'll be really happy..so..my main point..it won't be that large..although dling 600mb isn't that bad with a good progy.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SNALL!!!!

Whats so ironic is that i just posted a thread in here a few days ago, about shadow president and my wish for a similar more advanced game like it where you could play any country etc etc. I think the thread was modern incarnation idea. well my wish came true today hehe, there it is in defcon exactly what i ordered.

as soon as i get sick of eu in a few months, defcon will be on my computer for sure :D
