[Abandoned] Struggle for Oil: Central Asia

[Raskholnikov]

How about this:

1. Terrorists cannot attack each other.
2. Fifth Fleet can attack all terrorists and turns to 3 neutral after each round.
3. Kuwait is merged into Iraq.
4. Sixth Fleet becomes the starting point (capital) for the Middle East Alliance and links to Cairo (the metropolis). Ryiad is no longer the Middle East capital.

This maintains both fleets, gives each an entirely different role, the role of the US is empasised, and its more difficult to conquer all terrorists since they can't attack each other any longer, and a tiny territory is eliminated, reducing the oerall territory number to 86.

That sounds good to me.

Thanks!

You're making the US fleet the capital of the mideast?

For some reason I doubt this is accurate... but ok. Let's try it on for size.

[Raskholnikov]

Well if you look at the countries concerned, most rely on the US for their security and are largely pro-US (Syria excepted). In terms of power projection, it makes sense. Plus it it a good way to make the US an integral part of the game, rather than a side-show, which totally represents reality. But yes, we can look at it once the second draft is done and re-evaluate the entire idea then.

Thank you. Great work! I updated the top of the page.

Any chance we could move to the Gameplay section now please?

[natty dread]

Submit a design brief...

[Industrial Helix]

That looks about 50 times better, nice work. I was worried you guys had given up

[Raskholnikov]

Thanks! It means a lot from you! Of course we didn't give up... sometimes real life interferes with mapmaking though.... So any chance to go to gameplay, please?

You still haven't submitted a design brief I think?

(it's required for all maps now, before they get moved to GP. the design brief thread is at the top of this forum, instructions are in the first post)

No refinery representation for Iraq - Kuwait?

Their vast oil production/reserves have only been the focus of two recent wars.

[Raskholnikov]

Actually I did submit an initial brief, but for ease of use I updated it now and loaded it up at the top of the thread.

Jef, I think in Gameplay we can twitch the number and places of refineries, tankers, starting neutrals etc. But yes. I see your point...

Anything else I need to do?

[natty dread]

Design brief must be posted to the design brief thread.

[Raskholnikov]

Thanks. Done.
