This'll be interesting just to say how it pans out.  Presumably a Cold War game would wanna be quite a bit different from Arsenal of Democracy.

It's part of P'dox's licensing program so that seems unlikely.

Hurm.

Presumably they will accurately depict the beneficial effects of an American first strike on the Soviet Union in the 1945-1956 period.

well I hate to burst the bubble too soon but if its based on hoi3 you either have ww3 at the second day or you fall asleep in boredom unless they totally overhaul everything but warfare.

Quote from: JohanIts a completely new game that uses some code from hoi though, like ck2 uses some code from eu3.

My general reaction is "meh". I would like a meaningful Cold War game, but I don't think Paradox can pull it off. Balance of Power and Shadow President were the best entries into the field, and SP was rather average itself.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I will be following but I don't expect much either.

And even Balance of Power's AI was incredibly predictable, and the escalation model was easy to manipulate.

I don't see how a Cold War game based on any kind of Paradox's pseudo-RTS engines could work at all.

Rather see what that Clausewitz-based Napoleon game will be.

Tru dat.

Then there's Supreme Ruler: Cold War, but its performance issues kept me away (sluggishly slow), and gameplay wise it doesn't seem to be an epiphany, either.

The idea of having a CW game where you can play any nation (e.g. Egypt, or Israel, or India or the likes) has potential, but I don't see any company tackling this successfully and delivering a fun product.

I'd love to have a new Reforger '88, Gray Seas and Gray Skies or Geopolitique 1990.
