WW3

[panamayne]

how about a map about WW3? with the allies: USA, EU, Israel, Japan, and Australia vs. the "__" : Russia, China, N.korea, Iran, etc.......... sounds good to me

This should be in the Melting Pot.

And sorry to shamelessly plug my own map, but if you had scrolled down a little you should have seen the WWIII map that I am working on. A little convoluted right now (working on that, any suggestions to make it less so would be welcome), and smaller scope than you were imagining, but it's there.

Hello - Welcome to CC and the Foundry

You should find some useful information in the [Official] Conquer Club Mapmaker Handbook
If you still have questions after browsing the Handbook, feel free to ask any specific questions in the Foundry Discussions subforum - you should find people eager to help and give any advice in there.

This map has been moved into the Ideas subforum, as it does not meet the criteria for a Working Draft:

Drafting Room Guidelines

To be considered a Working Draft a project must be more than just an idea; a Draft should have a clear thematic focus, a plan for how the gameplay will work, and a basic image which should include:

1. Territory Labels - temporary names or numbers will suffice, and are always open to change.
2. Borders/Paths/Impassables - it should be made clear where territories do/do not connect.
3. Bonus Areas - where combinations/groups of territories will award a bonus, this should be indicated on the map.
4. Legend - speculative bonus values and explanations of any attack rules or gameplay features.

Draft images should generally not be larger than 630x600px (small image) or 840x800px (large image).

There is a book out there that essentially writes history backwards and it chronicles the next 100 years (also the title), I read through it briefly, but it pretty much goes into a WWIII scenario with a Turkish (more like a neo-Ottoman Empire) allied with a neo Japanese Empire against the US allied with this Polish bloc (essentially eastern Europe). It sounded like a good idea for a map or novel.

But really.. can someone seriously predict this stuff? The author does quite well following historical trends and using them to predict the future to createan interesting narrative... but really, I suspect he just had an idea to capitalize on popular history without doing any research... but yeah, any CC WWIIII maps need to take into account Turkey!

when we talk about WW3, it should be seen from now on and time into the future, the alliance you have described, I thought looks like it is based on the past, about the Iron Curtain, I believe that an alliance will look very different today, blah. are Russia and China taking distance to scoundrel states like Iran and N.korea. America is in huge financial debt to China and Russia have close cooperation with the U.S. space program. could further imagine that all the bandit states joined forces to fight the Western democratic and economically strong countries.
Somalia, Iran, Pakistan, N.korea, Cuba, Sudan, Syria -VS- U.S. EU, Russia, China, Japan, Australia.

Omg Russia and China in an Allied with U.S. and EU, but Russia has come very far with democracy and trade with the rest of the world, China is one of the strongest economic powers and has loosened up a lot.

I am totally beside?

your alliances make much more sense, however Somalia? what are they going to bring in any fight really? i'd swap Somalia for Turkey or some other arab oil-rich country.

also, you should increase some reason for a war of this scale. possible reasons include:

1) World Hunger
2) Oil Crisis (possibly including a battle for the north pole)
3) Some kind of space-race (for the moon, mars, or some planet that might be interesting for whatever reason)
4) Religion
5) something else.

Funny you should mention that and I saw this in the news today:

Not that Merkel seemed to be making a threat, but she did mention this was a possibility in the future should the EU fail.
