@hepps ICE WALL 700 feet high!
Opps wrong show

And now the Saudi nation has had enough of standing by idly... they shall take back the lands once promised to them by the Entente powers and rule the Middle East in a pan-Persian cooperative zone.

Despite pouring resources into building up the Atlantic wall the Allies fight their way onto the European coast... in desperation Hitler musters all of his political influence and convinces Franco to join the war... The Spanish sweep in and secure the coastal regions the Allies fought so desperately to liberate. Spain may turn the tide of war for the Axis powers... Churchill thought his darkest days were behind him.... now there is a new gathering storm over his Island nation.

heh heh knew franco would come around sooner or later : )

@hepps How much influence does it take? Remind me of Xeno

@prastle Convincing a neutral is no small task... since you have 4 seperate treaties to enact with a nation before they join your cause....
In this example lets assume Germany has pursued Spain uncontested by the Allies.
Since Germany already starts the game with a Diplomat within Spain and they begin the game with an existing Friendship Treaty, it means Germany would have 3 remaining treaties to sign with Spain. These remaining Treaties would cost a total of 525 PI (Political Influence) and 375 PU (Production Unit). BTW this represents a significant portion of the German economy and would severely impact war production, even spread over 3 turns
For the purposes of this example we shall assume Germany moves one of its available spies into Spain on its first turn and Italy moves a diplomat in on its first turn. This means that each turn the Axis powers would be gathering enough support (tokens) within Spain to table a new treaty. Therefore, Spain could be convinced to join the Axis powers by turn 4.
This example is based on the fact that the Allies take no measures to stop the Axis pursuit of Spain. (Safe to assume this is a highly unlikely scenario)

Fearing invasion from fascist Spain. Portugal would probably be forced to choose a side if this happen. Allies would have to alter D-day plans! Does the extra time allow Germany to develop a new wonder weapon? An A-Bomb on the Russian horde?
-
@general_zod I make no provisions for forcing any tertiary neutral nations to make diplomatic decisions based on the choices of other neutrals.
And there are no nukes in my games... they represent the worst invention of mankind... they have no place in my games.

Yeah, I'm just referring to an alternate chain of events based on Spain's big move.
-
Tactical nukes can work if you design them to have massive tradeoffs. It isn't too unrealistic that Germany could develop their own successful version of the Manhatten Project if they had more time.

@hepps said in Global Dominance:

I reiterate.... there will never be a nuke in a game I design.

@hepps Hmm this is def going to be a difficult live game.

O that's right, I forgot how the nations of Global Dominance are so civilized and peaceful. They only massacre each other with conventional weapons.
-
@prastle I think it probably seems more complex without the visuals.... in truth the new diplomacy system is quite easy and... in truth more realistic and less disruptive to game play.

With Roosevelt's gaize fixed firmly on the south pacific he fails to notice the treaties the Axis have signed with South Americas greatest power. Seizing the initiative Getúlio Dornelles Vargas orders his military into action, capturing Panama swiftly then sweeping up the Mexican pacific coast and storming the Southern States. The world sits in stunned silence as the greatest hope for the war examines the options in fighting the war on its own mainland. Fear has gripped the Allied nations across the globe.

@hepps ROFL! You are taking this to the extreme!
-
@prastle Just creating screen shots after I design each nations units.
-
And last little teaser for the day. This one is being left for your imaginations.
-
@hepps Is that the new materials?
-
@prastle Is it? Never really can tell when you are dealing with me.
