Hi everyone. This is my first attempt at a story here so feel free to comment/criticize/write death threats. Note also that my story is not completely Civ3 based. Anyway, here goes.
Prologue
For years now the island of Morlocova have been the centre of disputes and wars between the governments of the United States and the German-Russian alliance. This chain of small islands have been deemed "Most unsuitable for human colonisation" by explorers all over the world and for good reason. They are remote, they are hot, humid and tropical monsoons inundate the island with up to 50mm of rain every day for 3 weeks. On the island, where there isn't dense, humid tropical rainforest, there is scorching hot, arid desert. Indeed Morlocova is not the most plesant of places to be, but one small factor attracts the governments of worlds to the island like flies to a rotting piece of meat. That factor is the elusive resource Uranium. It is unknown why uranium sources only appear on Morlocova, no nation seems willing to try and explain this phenomenon either, all they want is to try and exploit the resources as quickly as they can.
Seventy years ago, the Americans detonated a device in near the deserts of New York. That device was the Manhattan Project. Russian spies quickly acquired the schematics for this device, they sold it to their allies the Germans who traded it to the Chinese who sold it to the Indians and so on. With the world becomming nuclear-aware, and governments everwhere realising that control of nuclear arms was crucial to victory, the focus of the world shifted from the Sino-Mongolian border disputes and the Franco-Japanese war to the island of Morlocova. Peace treaties between nations were quickly signed, but only so those nations could rebuild their tattered militaries. Twenty years ago, on November the 8th 2034, the first of the Uranium Wars began. No single nation held onto the uranium resources long enough to utilise it, and when the dust settled in 2037, nearly all other nations of the world had been either conqured, annexed or destroyed by either the Germans, Russians, or Americans. The Americans had by far captured the most land, and also won the Uranium War and began manufacturing nuclear weapons. The Germans and Russians signed the Dresden Pact of 2040 in order to protect eachother from the Americans.
The year is now 2054. The uneasy silence between the Russo-German Alliance and the United States has been replaced by nerve wracking tension. A German spy was caught in the city of Manchester, on his way to Washington DC carrying what has been described as a "Water borne Nerve Agent", American F-15s patrolling the skies over Russian occupied France have bombed a small township claiming it had radar guided missiles locked onto them, the Russians have re-emerged from a peroid of unrest and christened their new nation as the Soviet Union and have implemented a strong Anti-American policy. American troops have been triple reinforced on Morlocova, the combined Soviet-German fleet is nearing Morlocova, troops are rallied, tanks are reactivated, the second of the Uranium Wars is looming on the horizon.
