With Bitterfrost 4 done and dusted, I felt it was time to reveal my new scenario idea - Vendetta ToT!
It is set in a dark fantasy vision of 1948, where WW2 ended in 1944 with the planetary impact of a devastating
asteroid that landed in Northern Russia. The combatants found they could not continue the war, due to massive
damage and a strange radioactive disease from the massive crater...At the same time, the huge pall of dust
and ash caused a year-long blackout that caused great upheaval and took all the other powers out of the war.
The Nazis sued for cease-fire after assassinating Hitler. The starving USA collapsed, replaced with the
new order of the United Federation. The Refugee Americans in Europe joined with Britain and France to
created the United Commonwealth. The new Balkan Collective is rising in status, as a provider of oil
and food to the other powers. The Soviets suffered another revolution and became the Proletarian Bloc.
Stalin died of radiation poisoning (some say from his own henchmen) and now Russia is a battleground
for anarchists, soviets, neo-marxists and proto-capitalists. To the North is the Chernobog crater,
ground-zero of the asteroid. In this area radiation levels are high, but scientists claim that a
strange mineral is growing around the area, which has been called Zeegun. This material has been
tested in Vienna, London, and Moscow, and specialists agree that it has properties that could
revolutionise propulsion and energy...Needless to say, this new resource is much sought after...
Other new powers arose from the chaos. The nations of Finland, Norway and Sweden joined to create the
Nordic Alliance, while Spain and Italy formed the Fascist Coalition, both are loyal to Nazi Germany.
Germany is teetering on the brink of collapse, years of war and damage have left the nation battered
and poverty-stricken. Only superior German arms serve as a vanguard against chaotic downfall.
A wave of mayhem and riots spread throught the Middle East and North Africa, and from the turmoil
a new Islamic awareness is gaining ground, as the European colonies implode. What will happen in
the East remains to be written. All over Europe, small anarchic states are in constant strife...
Now - Can a general or leader step into this war-drama and repaint the balance of powers?
Can you carve out a brave new empire among the chaos of this global emergency? There will
be infrastructure to rebuild, secret weapons to develop, and incredible riches to gain!
This is my latest development: Vendetta Chernobog...Where it all begins!
CIVS
====================
Greater German Reich = Germans
Fascist Coalition = Spanish
Nordic Alliance = Americans
United Commonwealth = English
Proletarian Bloc = Russians
Balkan Collective = Mongols
Islamic Nations = Babylonians
Anarchists = Barbarians
FEATURES
====================
*An interesting challenge: Geopolitical duels in a dark post-war era.
*Large and roomy European map that stretches from Spain to the Urals.
*Tons of new graphics and units by fairline...Including SWOTL units.
*A mind-warping technology tree and exciting events to explore.
*Varied factions, each with their own story-arc and mission.
STATUS
====================
Right now I am working on the rules and tech-tree which are almost done.
Next I will put together the map, with city placement, etc. That is when
I'll require some help from you guys, in order to know if cities are in
the correct area. I will post up the SAV when I get to this stage...
The unit list is 70% done, and I will be using the small units that I
first tested in Dictator-6...The new ones look great, especially the
new artillery and APC graphics...I will be considering what bizarre
mutants and enemies to add to the barbarian slots soon too.
About the Barbs (anarchists) I will be using the traditional barb slots
to enable random AI attacks from the UFA and former Soviet hardliners.
Like in Bitterfrost-4, these will increase in brutality and annoyance
along with your progress in the tech tree! So beware and be prepared!
More to come as development continues...
And feel free to drop in suggestions!
