RtW Scenario: 1936 World War!

[Dale]

I am working on a post-BtS-release scenario encompasing the entire World.

What nations would you like to see on the map?

Map size: 200*80
# of Civs: 36

Remember, 8 are the superpowers.

[Dauphin]

The 8 being....

USA
Soviet Union
Germany
Japan
France
UK
Italy
Australia.

I think you should include China.

[Kuciwalker]

This already exists, it's called "Hearts of Iron."

[Dale]

Dauphin:
The 8 doesn't include Australia, but does include China. But me being an Aussie, they will be in.

Kuci:
This is for the Road to War scenario for BtS, not HOI. Whilst I love HOI/2, the blend of HOI and Civ4 that I've created for the expansion is awesome mate.

[Wiglaf]

HOI2 is nothing like civ

For a thorough WWII game beginning in 1936 you'll probably need (in addition to the 8 above):

Poland
Netherlands
Ethiopia
Turkey
Finland
Sweden
Norway
Spain
Belgium (could be subsumed into Netherlands)
Switzerland
Yugoslavia
Greece
South Africa
Iran/Iraq
Chinese Communists if you already have Nationalists
Vichy France if you already have Free France
Canada
Australia
India
New Zealand
Egypt

Are you going to have neutral civs to fill in the empty spaces (e.g. South America)?

8 superpowers?

I guess 6 would be part of the G8:

Britain
France
USA
Russia
Japan
Germany

as well as India and China

Others that could be in (using military, landmass, and pop sizes):

Canada
Italy
Australia
South Africa
Nigeria
Brazil
Argentina
Mexico
Pakistan
Ukraine
Iran
Korea (both or one?)
Egypt
Indonesia
Chile
Morocco
Poland
Kenya
Spain
Egypt
Sudan
Algeria
Uganda
Angola
Mozambique
Colombia
Cuba
Portugal
Iraq
Turkey
Saudi Arabia
Thailand
Myanmar
Vietnam
and, of course, to appease everyone: Israel

Honorable mentions:
Kazakhstan
Uzbekistan
Bangladesh
Sweden
Norway

[Dale]

Just remember, most of Africa - Middle East - Sub Continent was controlled by France and England in the time period.

EG: Israel was formed AFTER WW2.

Sorry, I didn't look at the top thread - 1936

I figured there would be a reason to play NZ, since they actually had forces engaged (in Egypt, and probably other places that I forget).

Unlike, say, Brazil. Unless the designer wants some alternate history angle included.

[ptzvetan]

One of the biggeset allies if the Axis on the Balkans was Bulgaria.

As for the big 8
Germany
Soviets
GB
USA
France
Italy
Japan
China
