[IronyOwl]

Just a simplified and silly example, but you get my idea, right?

Gotcha. International politics with Benny Hill music playing.

A Dokapon Kingdom/competitive card game sort of mix might be a good base for that. I'd considered something vaguely similar but with competing noble houses.

[Tarran]

I'm going to use Shadow President for it.

And here's a little brainstorming on it: World Peace/War levels.

Spoiler: World Peace/War levels (click to show/hide)

This is how the levels will be displayed. Below the list, is the effects.
World Peace
Calm Peace
Good Peace
Okay Peace
Shaky Peace
Cold Peace
Low Conflict
Cold War
Heated War
Hot War
Scorching War
Chaotic War
Total War

Starting from World Peace down. If a requirement isn't met, it's automatically put to the level below.

World Peace:
Requirements: There is no war anywhere. Most nation anxiety levels are low.
Effects: Starting a war provokes all other nations. NPC nations have nearly no aggressiveness. NPC nations greatly lower military spending and drop nuclear weapons entirely. Friendly diplomatic actions gain a +5 bonus. Players may win via "Alliance", "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Calm Peace:
Requirements: There is, at max, only one low-level conventional war. Many nation anxiety levels are low.
Effects: Starting a war provokes many other nations. NPC nations have nearly no aggressiveness. NPC nations lower military spending and nearly drop nuclear weapons entirely. Friendly diplomatic actions gain a +3 bonus. Players may win via "Alliance", "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Good Peace:
Requirements: There are, at max, only two low level conventional wars. Majority nation anxiety levels are low.
Effects: Starting a war provokes nations that like to "peacekeep". NPC nations have far less aggressiveness. NPC nations lower military spending slightly and lower nuclear weapon spending a decent bit. Friendly diplomatic actions gain a +2 bonus. Players may win via "Alliance", "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Okay Peace:
Requirements: There are, at max, only four low level or one medium-level conventional wars. Quite a few nation anxiety levels are low.
Effects: Starting a war provokes some nations that like to "peacekeep". NPC nations have less aggressiveness. NPC nations lower lower nuclear weapon spending slightly. Friendly diplomatic actions gain a +1 bonus. Players may win via "Alliance", "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Shaky Peace:
Requirements: There are, at max, six low level, or two medium-level conventional wars, or one low-level nuclear war. Some nation anxiety levels are low.
Effects: NPC nations have slightly less aggressiveness. Players may win via "Economic" or "Conquest" victories.

Cold Peace:
Requirements: There are, at max, eight low level, two medium-level, or one high-level conventional wars, or one low-level nuclear war.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on hot borders but avoid conflict. Players may win via "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Low Conflict: <<This is considered the middle-point.
Requirements: There are, at max, ten low level, three medium-level, or one high-level conventional wars, or two low-level nuclear wars.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on hot borders and attempt to weaken their rivals. Players may win via "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Cold War:
Requirements: There are, at max, twelve low level, four medium-level, or one high-level conventional wars, or three low-level nuclear wars.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on hot borders and attempt to weaken their rivals as much as possible. Friendly actions have a -1 penalty. Anxiety levels rise slowly but constantly on any nations near nations with nuclear weapons, and also when the countries themselves have nukes. Players may win via "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Heated War:
Requirements: There are, at max, fourteen low level, five medium-level, or two high-level conventional wars, or four low-level, or one medium-level nuclear wars.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on hot borders and attempt to weaken their rivals as much as possible. They also declare war on any nations they particularly hate but believe they can take on. Friendly actions have a -2 penalty. Anxiety levels rise constantly on any nations near nations with nuclear weapons, and also when the countries themselves have nukes. Players may win via "Economic", or "Conquest" victories.

Hot War:
Requirements: There are, at max, sixteen low level, seven medium-level, or two high-level conventional wars, or four low-level, or two medium-level nuclear wars.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on hot borders and attempt to weaken their rivals as much as possible. They also declare war on any nations they particularly hate but believe they can take on. They also try to ally with stronger nations, hoping to avoid destruction. Friendly actions have a -3 penalty. Anxiety levels rise quickly and constantly on any nations near nations with nuclear weapons, and also when the countries themselves have nukes. Players may win via "Conquest" victories. This has the possibility of being a "Point of no return".

Scorching War:
Requirements: No high-level nuclear wars.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on most borders and attempt to weaken their rivals as much as possible. They also declare war on any nations they particularly hate but believe they can take on. They also try to ally with stronger nations, hoping to avoid destruction. They will sometimes nuke those who appear to be dangerous, and often nuke nuke-less countries they're at war with. Friendly actions have a -4 penalty. Anxiety levels rise very quickly and constantly on any nations near nations with nuclear weapons, and also when the countries themselves have nukes. Players may win via "Conquest" victories. This could be a "Point of no return".

Chaotic War:
Requirements: Not all nations are at war.
Effects: NPC nations station troops on all borders and attempt to weaken their rivals as much as possible. They also declare war on any nations they particularly hate but believe they can take on. They will often nuke those who appear to be dangerous, and usually nuke nuke-less countries they're at war with. Friendly actions have a -5 penalty. Alliances cannot be made. Anxiety levels rise extremely quickly and constantly on any nations near nations with nuclear weapons, and also when the countries themselves have nukes. Players may win via "Conquest" victories. This is likely a "Point of no return".

Total War:
Requirements: None of the above are met.
Effects: All nations are at war with all others. They will always nuke those who appear to be dangerous, and usually nuke nuke-less countries they're at war with. Friendly actions automatically fail. Alliances or peace cannot be made. Anxiety levels spike instantly. Players may win via "Conquest" victories. This is a "Point of no return".

Yeah, once you start major wars, things get crazy. Though the requirements are a little lax in my eyes... what do you guys think?

Note: This is just brainstorming. This does NOT mean I WILL make it, just that I'm thinking of it.

[adwarf]

Holy crap thats pretty amazing Tarran 

[Bdthemag]

If you could Tarran, reserve me a spot for that game. It looks awesome.

[Taricus]

I'm with Bdthemag.

[adwarf]

If you could Tarran, reserve me a spot for that game. It looks awesome.

If you make it same here, and I believe I should probably fix up the rest of the Oblivion RTD that is if anyone here want to use it. If you do tell me,a dn I will finish up any missing descriptions, and stats, but you will have to fix up the equipment.

[Darvi]

Even though I hate it reserve me too because else I'm not gonna get a place at all there.

[Tarran]

*COUGH* Oh for crying out loud why do my RTDs get so many reserves so quickly? Anyway, okay, you'll be in when it starts--if it starts.

Anyway, War Types!

Spoiler: War Types (click to show/hide)

This is the list of War Types for the above.

Low level conventional war: <1-5 million troops are fighting. Anxiety quickly raises in fighting countries and slowly in nearby countries.

Medium level conventional war: 6-20 million troops are fighting. Anxiety spikes in fighting countries and quickly raises in nearby countries.

High level conventional war: 21+ million troops are fighting. Anxiety spikes in fighting and nearby countries.

Low level nuclear war: A few nukes have been fired. Anxiety spikes in affected countries and quickly in attacker countries. Provokes condemnation, and some nuclear threats. Do not start one of these unless you're ready for everyone to hate you.

Medium nuclear war: Up to several hundred nukes have been fired. Anxiety spikes in affected countries, countries near affected, and attacker countries. Provokes condemnation, nuclear threats, and maybe even nuclear strikes or war. Do not start one of these unless you've got balls of steel--this will send the world into a Heated War instantly, with you as a big target. Your people--unless they follow you loyally--will often kick you out before you start one.

High nuclear war: Thousands nukes have been fired. Anxiety spikes in affected countries, countries near affected, and attacker countries. Provokes global condemnation, nuclear threats, and often even nuclear strikes or war. Do not start one of these, these will instantly send the entire world into a Chaotic War--with YOU as the first target. Your people--unless they follow you loyally--will kick you out before you start one.

If you start a High nuclear war on the first turn I'll make your death gruesome.

[KaguroDraven]

Becouse your RTDs are awesome, reserve me as well.

[Tarran]

Becouse your RTDs are awesome, reserve me as well.

They are?

My first died horrible newbie death.
My second died another newbie death.
My current one is sub-par, and you've never even posted in it as far as I remember.
And this one is just a little bit created.

I don't see how I'm awesome at all, honestly. _{Unless you find nuking people so freaking awesome.}

[Darvi]

If you start a High nuclear war on the first turn I'll make your death gruesome.

I'll take you up on that offer.

But maybe lower the thresholds. People don't have so many soldiers out and nukes are getting used even more rarely.

[adwarf]

If you start a High nuclear war on the first turn I'll make your death gruesome.

I'll take you up on that offer.

But maybe lower the thresholds. People don't have so many soldiers out and nukes are getting used even more rarely.

I agree

[Tarran]

But maybe lower the thresholds. People don't have so many soldiers out and nukes are getting used even more rarely.

I agree

But remember, this is in the fantastic worlds of RTDs. Where millions come to die and people shoot use-only-in-desperation items often.

Besides, millions just sound much more awesome, even if it's completely wrong.

Or are you talking about the threshold for the Peace/War states, not the War Types?

[Darvi]

Millions are but a statistic.

And I was talking about the war types, yes.

[Tarran]

Alright, I'll lower them.
This okay? (Yes, the threshold for Hot War is quite a spike from Heated War, but then again, it's supposed to be a sort of "point of no return"),
