For my own game I'm in, if I respond to France attacking the UK with a military threat, would I actually have to invade France? Or can I just defend the UK or surgical strike France?

I never really figured out how this works, because I always invade anyway :p

That could be tricky. If your NSA guy rates France as "Cooperation" or above, you cannot take any kind of negative action against France whatsoever without one or more of your advisers resigning--you would only be able to defend England from an invasion but not take the war to France itself. However if France is rated as "Indifference" or lower, you can use whatever means you deem necessary to stop the French. Though...I must point out that France is a nuclear power and we all know how they respond to surgical strikes.

I'm indifferent towards them, but what will the game see as military action? What actions can I take to properly back up my military threat? Oh, and the French aren't a nuclear power anymore. In my game the entire world was destroyed by nukes and I'm the only nation left with world reach ;) I somehow managed to avoid being hit by any nukes haha

Well I wouldn't recommend another nuke strike. Even though you weren't hit directly, I am guessing your own population and military suffered considerable losses due to radioactive fallout. Perhaps you should post screenshots of the world status maps so I can better come up with some ideas on your next move(s). Out of curiosity, what sparked the nuclear war?

The Soviet Union nuked Iraq when I was invading, which resulted in all the nuclear powers nuking everybody. For some reason France decided to nuke the UK.

So umm... Apparently getting nuked gives me about 40,000,000,000 population, a huge growth rate, and a nuclear arsenal of 50,000 nukes... Oh, and my average citizen earns 60k a year ;)



Btw, what's the easiest way to take screenshots and post them here?

So you were nuked all the way to the DC universe.

This is an occasional bug that occurs at random though not often. Best countermeasure I know is to revert to save.

But an interesting explanation is that the detonation destabilized our universe (at least as far as Earth is concerned), resulting in entire populations from several alternate universes being pulled into ours. Either that or the game counts the roaches since they are the only ones left alive.

Lmao, seems like a legit reason to me :D I'm gonna keep a save like this, so when I'm bored I can nuke everything haha

Soviet Storm Rising...UN-UPDATE

Okay I messed up the scenario again. So I deleted the scenario and all backups from my computer. As of this moment, Soviet Storm Rising is now officially on hold indefinitely. I may resume the scenario in the near future though since I now work a full time job (which wasn't the case before), chances are very slim I will ever get a chance and even it I do, I will very likely move much slower. I am sorry for everyone who was looking forward to this scenario.

Excellent. You know, Shadow President has the potential to have a true modding community, rare for a DOS game. Hopefully things like this will show others the game's potential.
Yeah it does. But after my latest failure, we may need to recognize that I may have no real place in such a community.

By Experiment632's request, I am starting a new poll. If you want to vote for the "PLZ BAN HE" nonsense, remember this; Experiment has released plenty of scenarios before this happened, it is plain ridiculous to assume that he suddenly decided to troll us all.

I am so sorry I let everyone down  :(

I really tried. I was going to take an extended break however I think that may not be an option as I am certain some of you now believe I may be a troll and now time is now crucial. I have spent half the night making preparations with the UGE editor. Before I begin however, I will await the opinion of the majority in the polls as it is now questionable if anything I make will be accepted now.

Dude, seriously, stop deleting all your work. This is like the fourth time. I don't know what you're so afraid of, but you didn't even let us try this one before getting rid of it.
