The Cold War Era 2

 
20 days before Arms Race 2 hits all alive around!Nov 16, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsTo make old and long story short - wishlist and prepare to fight the real geopolitical war ... the New good old Cold War! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_8rSY0dYK4&t=5s Game play explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E1tlR-ESEI&t=32s And don't forget to share this news with your friends. They want to fight too! See you 5th December 2023! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2284800/Arms_Race_2Small July updateJul 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello comrades, The development of TCWE2 has been scientifically slowed down this summer. Our small team has encountered various difficulties and has been preoccupied with developing another game, Arms Race 2. However, there is good news! While working on the Arms Race 2 demo, we identified some issues with the in-game interface design that are also present in TCWE2. As a result, we invested a significant amount of time and effort to resolve these issues for Arms Race 2. This has provided us with valuable insights into what needs to be fixed for TCWE2 as well. We are committed to making the necessary improvements so that many of you will be able to enjoy TCWE2 on your monitors. In the meantime, while you are waiting for TCWE2, don't forget to try out the Arms Race 2 demo! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2284800/Arms_Race_2 Max SprinJune update - Unit craft and demoJun 16, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello comrades! This month brings fantastic updates (as with every month, of course). Firstly, we must inform you that the speed of TCWE2 development was temporarily reduced last month. We had to utilize all our physical and intellectual capacities to complete and polish another project for Steam Fest, which is taking place this month. But fear not, it doesn't mean we haven't made any progress on The Cold War Era 2. In fact, we have reached a significant milestone! Without further ado, take a look at this screenshot: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/278f80aefa132bb3bbd0fff73d8068d708ded2c2.png In this screenshot, you can see an American Infantry soldier from the World War II era. This unit has been created using the unit crafting feature and is ready for production. We're pleased to announce that the unit crafting and production department is now fully functional in the game, and it works amazingly well! While I'm unable to show more at the moment, I assure you that in the next update, I will provide additional screenshots of crafted units in production. Please let me know if there's any specific unit you would like me to craft and place in production, aside from the American infantry. I have another exciting news to share with you! We have just released a free-to-play demo for another one of our political grand strategy games - Arms Race 2. The demo is now available for you to play and experience. Be sure to seize the opportunity and be among the first to play it. Don't forget to share this wonderful news with your friends as well, as they too will want to dive into this captivating game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2284800/Arms_Race_2 Thank you Max SprinApril update for The Cold War Era 2Apr 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello unicorns! Yes, yes! unicorns you are! ))) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/4a775ed678a8764ab244a9600e8b0f8b9a93a339.jpg In this update I'd like to show you the technology window. As you can see this window is currently in developing progress and everything can be subject to change. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/27ce4b4b36033883a3bd8f360f29088f2dae0beb.png 1 - This is where you manually assign funds from budget to technologies and researches. You can take as much as you need but less you have in your budget - worse your country developing level. So, you must limit your self at some point and keep the right balance. 2- Once you develop a research you can name models and its versions. For example, instead of Abram M1 we can name it - Unicorn G-Y 3- When you research a model you can upgrade it. There you can see what new setting of the model will be after the upgrade. Once you upgrade it you will have two models available for crafting, one is Unicorn G-Y and another Unicorn G-Y2 . Different models can be used for different battlefield strategies. For example, one can be for a close combat and another for recon. I would like to let you know we have fantastic news on developing of another Cold War game. Demo and beta is available soon!

We would like to inform you we have started coding again. As I mentioned in my previous message we had to dive into old code and learn again everything what was done before. Learning from the past is passed and now we are back to normal developing process. We have completed budget department and political groups for regions. On the screenshot below you can see functional budget for different departments. All calculations and math works perfectly. In budget you will be able to see your finances in private and nationalized economy sectors and how much you invest to social and science sectors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/52cf368d342a6c709bb53f56531e9b3242e7a46a.png Here you can see what radical groups are present in your region and percentage compare of it. Radical groups can lead to civil war in the case if your country will have low development level. There should be a balance between your investments to economy and social sectors in budget. Otherwise radicals won't let you to wait them to come. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/16b72d61f5e6047b5ad2c929c932df29d948e0bd.png Thank you and please, share link to this game or announcement with your friends.

Battle tactics always depend on landscape and size of a country or combat operational area. All these specifics should be considered during battle tactics. Each phase of war is different and unique for all countries in the game. Battlefields have different landscape. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/7b1e5b39d3af06b4e6a9e762d773cbb382499578.jpg Here is a list of some bonuses and penalties for military units in different landscapes: Submarines have penalty in shallow waters Mechanized units have penalty in desert, city and mountain areas Infantry has bonus in city and mountain areas All Air units have penalties in mountains and bonus in desert Infantry has bonus in jungle, mountains and city You may want to consider landscapes If you move your units to a proxy war or build military base abroad and locate your army there. On the screenshot below you can see phase of war with many combat areas. Each area has its own penalty and bonuses. The wiped off area is for text. We still work on texts and letter styles and can’t demonstrate it at the moment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/d4f4fa398bd9c9983d974da4b5bdf3905eca8cde.jpg DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW OUR STEAM STORE PAGE !

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/ENGINE and DISTANCEAug 14, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsEach battle field is unique. It has different geographical landscape and size. Each landscape has bonuses and penalties for different units. We will speak about it in the next diary. Today we are going to discuss the size. Because it does matter! The size in the game has special term and it is DISTANCE. Battle field ( or battle front ) is divided on 12 vertical lines. Units move back and forward on the battle field between the lines. For example, If your unit is on the line nr4 it can move back to the line nr3 or forward to the line nr5. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/7b1e5b39d3af06b4e6a9e762d773cbb382499578.jpg Battle field can be in any region all around the globe. And regions have different geographical size. Each region battle field has its DISTANCE according to how geographically big or small this region. For example, DISTANCE of battle field ( or battle front ) of Ireland will be much smaller compare to battle field of Canada. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/bcdcb531c632306b36dd143b48f976afc41150f4.jpg Each unit has ENGINE value. This value is for DISTANCE. ENGINE value accumulates with every game turn until it reached value of DISTANCE. Units will be able to move from one line to another when ENGINE value will be more or equal to DISTANCE value. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/a4c5f3b1187018f1d2a36482bcd873963c054fcd.jpg For example, Ireland DISTANCE is 10. Canada DISTANCE is 100. ENGINE of F86 is 5. It means, this jet will be able to cross one battle field line of Ireland in 2 game turns ( 10/5=2) and Canada in 20 turns ( 100/5=20 ). Speed of movement can be crucial under different circumstances. You may want to have powerful engines for your units if you want them to be fast on battle fields.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/ MANUEVER vs COUNTERMEASURESJul 24, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsNot only STEALTH can protect units from enemies. COUNTERMEASURES can do it as well. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/3d23b835a26d74d450d8908ff2042e986dc31391.jpg But before I explain COUNTERMEASURES I need to start with MANEUVER. MANEUVER is the ability of a unit to do manoeuvres. Obviously saying. Units do strategic or tactical MANEUVER before they fire its weapon. MANEUVER has to be done for the best angle of attack. As more MANEUVER units as faster it can destroy the enemy. And there is only one thing that can help you to defend yourself from high MANEUVER units. And it is COUNTERMEASURES. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/a4c5f3b1187018f1d2a36482bcd873963c054fcd.jpg COUNTERMEASURES is a combination of electronic and technical devices and general unit design (ability to do different manoeuvres). Destroyers can do circle manoeuvres at high speed to escape from torpedoes and planes can drop flares or do fast manoeuvres to avoid missiles. All this is COUNTERMEASURES.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/d7e56a578d89a49cac03fce1ec4c495ba29be26d.jpg There will be a fight of MANEUVER vs COUNTERMEASURES in TCWE2. Currently we have not tested this game feature in the game yet and I’m not ready to say what will be the final calculation formula. But for sure a unit can hit another unit only if the value of MANEUVER is higher then COUNTERMEASURES. So to sum up, STEALTH, RADAR, MANEUVER and COUNTERMEASURES is a combination where it will be clear if ARMOR gets damage from HIT POINT or not. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/1468200c8165c91e79ed8b8d9267bd2bd683139a.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/bc8fe1384b00bb4bf17a149d3e9a805e9ceb0f2b.jpg DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW OUR STEAM STORE PAGE !

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/ STEALTHJul 17, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsLast time we discussed how RANGE of WEAPON and RADAR of ELECTRONICS work during a battle. Unit can’t hit a target within the RANGE of WEAPON or if it doesn’t see other units in the range of RADAR visibility distance. But there are two more very important options you need to consider during unit crafting. One of them is STEALTH. This is unique value of any BODY equipment. STEALTH is the shape of unit BODY, materials involved to produce it and ability to camouflage on the battle ground. STEALTH reduces visibility of unit for enemy radars by its value. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/52ed8a1c7e44a1487f3e024cf809b5d9b39fefd0.jpg For example, enemy unit RADAR value is 3 and your unit STEALTH is 1. 3 -1 = 2. It means, your unit will be visible for enemy RADAR only in the range of 2 battle lines and not 3. As higher STEALTH value of your units as closer you can get to enemy units without being spotted. At the same time units with more advanced RADARs can easily see other units with low STEALTH level. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/d7e56a578d89a49cac03fce1ec4c495ba29be26d.jpg Another option to consider on the battle field is COUNTERMEASURES. This option can prevent unit from being hit by hostile fire from any distance. We will talk about it in the next diary. DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW OUR STEAM STORE PAGE ! P.S. We are small indie team of three people. Please, support us by providing the link to our games in your Steam activity log or Social Medias.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/ RADAR and fire RANGEJul 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsAs we discovered in the last diary chapter there is ARMOR and HIT POINT for all units in the game. The value of HIT POINT deducts from ARMOR when WEAPON fires. If ARMOR is 0 or below for any unit it destroys. And how far our WEAPON can fire? There is distance of combat fire in the game. And each WEAPON has it own fire RANGE. But before we continue let's speak how our unit can actually "see" targets. Each unit has RADAR. One value of RADAR is equal to one vertical line in the battle field. MIG15 has RADAR with value 2 and it can see all air, land and naval units 2 lines from the current position. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/1468200c8165c91e79ed8b8d9267bd2bd683139a.jpg If enemy unit is in the range of RADAR and WEAPON it can be attacked. If enemy unit can be seen by RADAR but out of WEAPON range it can not be attacked. Same if enemy unit is in the range of WEAPON but not RADAR. F86 has ground WEAPON with RANGE 1 and RADAR with RANGE 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/48432d13f5cecfda2f5f3edf2250457ddab6c05a.jpg It means our F86 unit can see enemy T34 Tank but can not hit it with its bombs from the current position. F86 should move one line closer to T34 to have a good kill. But is it wise to move closer if there is MIG15 protecting T34 with such long anti air weapon RANGE? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/bc8fe1384b00bb4bf17a149d3e9a805e9ceb0f2b.jpg Don't rush to answer this simple question above until we discuss STEALTH and COUNTERMEASURES in our next diary.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/Armor, Hit point and UpgradeJun 24, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsNow it is a time to start explaining about model components ( equipment ) specifics and how it works on the battle field. As I mentioned in previous diaries you will be able to craft units with four main equipment ( it can be more then four if body load capacity allows to install or mount more equipment ). In the previous diary we learned what is load and supply for body equipment. Let's discuss other two combat specifics of the body. The first one is ARMOR. This is strength of your unit. When enemy units fire our unit it damages armor. F 86 body armor is 2 on the picture below. 2 is very low. If our unit receives damage equal 2 or more our unit will be destroyed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/52ed8a1c7e44a1487f3e024cf809b5d9b39fefd0.jpg Damage can be received only by special weapon. In very early Cold War time machineguns were basic weapon on jets. Machineguns was general firepower in legendary dogfights between F86 and Mig15 in the skies of Korea. WEAPON fires one time per turn. If Mig15 machinegun hit point is 2 or more it can destroy our unit with the first fire. And if machinegun is not mounted on our unit we can't fire back. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/3d23b835a26d74d450d8908ff2042e986dc31391.jpg Upgrades for equipment are available in the game. It takes time and funds for upgrades. For example we can upgrade our ARMOR from 2 to 3 for our F 86 BODY. But it will not automatically upgrades already produced weapon. You need to create new model with upgraded body and produce new units with it. Each upgrade increases equipment cost by 50%. At the same time, you can upgrade ( minimize ) the cost of equipment as well. On the picture below you can see upgrade of the cost of Vulcan body from $3 to $2.7 (cheaper to produce ) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/42214b82e864f64e93e4c86722f032e3855ce241.jpg DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW OUR STEAM STORE PAGE !

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/Supplies and LoadJun 18, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsNow, when we know some basics about unit crafting and battle rules let’s speak about unit customization a bit more in details. As I have mentioned before each unit model consists of equipment. You must have not less then one of each equipment to be able to craft your model. Every equipment has its own research price, production price, load and two specifics which are crucial on the battle field. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/00d63ca2a4910d093918e5b891a529ed88999094.jpg Research price is the amount of funds you have to pay to research this equipment. Price is the amount of funds to be paid to produce this equipment. Load is the sum of space and weight this equipment takes inside of BODY. So, BODY is the only equipment which is a little bit different from other equipment because BODY provides with the load capacity and another equipment takes capacity from it. Let’s take a look on the picture below. F 86 BODY equipment provides this model with 700 load. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/52ed8a1c7e44a1487f3e024cf809b5d9b39fefd0.jpg It means we have 700 load capacity to be load into this BODY. All empty space which leaves after we mount and install other equipment to this BODY will be taken for supplies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/3b65c04ad41ad01a5680f8013eb3befcc990d6c6.jpg Supplies are required to operate on the battle field. You need to have supplies to move your unit and to fire weapon. It takes 50 supplies to fire weapon once per turn. If there are two or more different weapon installed on your unit it takes 50 supplies to fire each. For example, if you have torpedo and missiles installed on your submarine you need to have 100 supplies to fire both at the same turn. And it takes one turn to fully resupply your unit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/baf7517a8292d46bf5f376207d8ac64f115503bc.jpg It will be up to you to find your perfect balance for battle field tactics. You can have various weapon on your unit but very limited on supplies for fire sequence or craft simple unit with more supplies to have longer fire sequence.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/Battle screenJun 12, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsBefore I continue explaining unit craft customization let me talk a little why unit craft is actually important and what kind of effect it has on the battle field. There are five war phases in the game. Each phase ( and its geography) is specific. For example, there is naval invasion phase and win on sea requires to pass the phase. Another phase is ground battle field and it requires strong ground forces to win on the land. The last phase is city combat and naval vessels and ground vehicles can’t win there. We will talk about war phases and it’s specifics later in diaries. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/de86635d50340beb31058320e07187676ff8163e.jpg So, when you craft your battle units you need to consider why do you actually craft it for. Battle strategy is involved for it. For example, your destroyer will be great addition to cruisers if it has anti submarine warfare equipment and cruisers don’t. But this destroyer will be useless as anti ground or anti ships support. Long range missile would help but this equipment may not fit in small destroyer body. You may want to use one destroyer body but craft two different models with different armament for different war phases. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/0d41b29c710b539ef10163804b1138e5e89ca7f9.jpg To make complex things simpler we divided battle field on 12 x 3 lines. Horizontal lines are for air, ground and naval units and vertical is battle field distance ( which is different to geographic locations ). To win the battle phase you need to kick off enemy units from the green area zone. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/2145d04787dea061f160f89439e6b6ec6c789ab5.jpg Units move and fire back and forward on the battle field. Each weapon has it’s range which is equal to one vertical line. Next week I will start to talk in details about unit equipment and how it is used on the battle field. It will help you to understand how your want to crafted your units. DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW THIS PAGE to read new diaries. P.S. We are small indie team of three people.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/ Unit craftJun 4, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsMany of you may wonder what makes this game different or special from many other grand strategy games out there? Specially compare to big and famous titles? Well, we are proud to declare we do have something really special! And it is unit craft. Not just upgrades but actual customization. Let’s look briefly on units in TCWE2 generally to understand how it works. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/a4612540e69f5d0b646ace1c1932c47ebfb6ad71.jpg There are three main components in unit production – blue prints, a model and actual unit. Unit customization is situated right between blue prints and a model. You will need to research blue prints and customize your unit model based on them. When model is ready you can start production of it. You have to spend funds of science to research blue prints and private/nationalized sectors to produce units. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/81bdc564d1d8319c7d23be281a298647ead7ac10.jpg Unlike in many other strategy games you do not research blue prints of an actual unit in TCWE2. You research different components. Components are required to combine it together to have your model. There are four main components – body, weapon, electronics and reliability. Each component provide to your model specific setting ( we will discuss it in more details in next diaries ). Body – is actual look of unit model. The size of the body is very important for the load capacity. As bigger load capacity as more components can be installed onto model. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/52ed8a1c7e44a1487f3e024cf809b5d9b39fefd0.jpg Electronics – is operation system of unit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/d7e56a578d89a49cac03fce1ec4c495ba29be26d.jpg Reliability – is what makes this unit move around {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/a4c5f3b1187018f1d2a36482bcd873963c054fcd.jpg Weapon – is what makes this unit deadly in combat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/5fd4a8df3f76819bf3b88f2ef8cdbddfebc18498.jpg Each component is not tied to specific model. It means, once you have researched J47 engine you can mount it on different air body models, not just F 86. This kind of unit customization opens great amount of possibilities to make different models based on the same body for different battle tactics and war strategy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/556d282bd17c7eac0646f4d31d965ff33ebc9b03.jpg DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW THIS PAGE to read new diaries.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/Military ProductionMay 28, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThere is production only for military in TCWE2. It is done with the idea to avoid extra micromanagement and make game more focused on politics and military actions. Civilian production is included in GDP and doesn’t have separate finance sector as military. Taking funds from GDP for military reduces Civilian production and national income. Reducing GDP relates to slower growth of development level. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/918345c3f6812b1619311b0b9acfdbf299b3fc38.jpg Production is based on private and nationalized economy sectors. Players can take funds from GDP to manage production withing the limit. When production is done funds go back to GDP. For example, if you take 150 from private sector you will be able to produce military units on the particular fund amount. Once it is done 150 goes back to GDP ( back to Civilian economy sector ). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/00d63ca2a4910d093918e5b891a529ed88999094.jpg Managing production line is under player control. If the limit is 150 and you placed your orders for 500 the first 150 starts to build. When the first military production in the line finishes other starts to produce. You will be able to move and prioritized military orders in the production line. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/3cdc01594629d6bf4ec5410f311ec06d5d7373e0.jpg And there is another production limit for orders. Let’s call it - order spending limit. This limit relates to your technological production line level. Order spending limit is how much you can spend on the particular order. Advancing your technology level will increase order spending limit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/f461e89c53b2ae83c0dbc909a68c9c407054243b.jpg Let’s make big example to see how it all work together. We are taking 150 from private sector. We place an order for 320 jets. Our max order spending limit is 20. It means we can take only 20 from 100 to build our order for jets. Another 80 from 100 goes to other orders in the line. On the picture below you can see how this example would look in the game. 1.9 is amount of jets we produce per turn. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/556d282bd17c7eac0646f4d31d965ff33ebc9b03.jpg P.S.

Thank you https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10404/The_Cold_War_Era_Bundle/Private and planned economyMay 21, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsOne of the main competitions between both superpowers during the Cold War was economy. The Soviet Union based on planned economy and USA believes in energy of capitalism in private sector. Both economical models are presented in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/918345c3f6812b1619311b0b9acfdbf299b3fc38.jpg You, as leader of your superpower, in cooperation with your parliament will be able to steer and invest money from national fund ( collected from incomes ) into either private or nationalized ( planned ) sector to increase GDP. As more money you have in private or nationalized sector as more you can build and produce. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/b0bae0302108952537150560f926f490ea5987c5.jpg You have a choice to manage which economic sector you want to use when you need to produce military. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/00d63ca2a4910d093918e5b891a529ed88999094.jpg When you start your production, the amount of it is deducted from this economic sector which is oriented on civilian production. It decreases general GDP. As more you produce = less GDP = less income for national finance fund. The idea is simple – collect to invest for bigger income in the future or spend to produce now. ( P.S. By the way, Arms Race – TCWE has this basic budget system implemented in the game ). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/9a4259fc7ef952ae1cb9536564973f60d89092d6.jpg And the difference is how both economic sectors react on production. It has its own pros and cons. Planned economy is cost efficient. Government controls this economic sector and it is oriented on getting the final production as soon as it’s ordered. You want it – you get it. Government has already paid for everything in the production chain to get the final product including resources, factories, maintenance, workforce, logistics etc. Once product is produced the production cost/value goes back to civilian production to increase GDP. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/556d282bd17c7eac0646f4d31d965ff33ebc9b03.jpg In private sector it works differently. Private production chains involve private small, medium and large businesses and sub contractors. Every business works for profit which makes the final product expensive compare to nationalized production. If you would order production in nationalized sector it cost you, let’s say 50. The same production and amount in private sector will cost you 100. The good side of private sector it grows by it self without direct government control. And nationalized sector doesn’t grow without direct government investments from nationalized finance fund. More you order in private sector it grows faster and businesses becomes richer. This is very good for national GDP in long terms. What kind of economy you will feel better for your country? P.S. We are small indie team of three people.

By playing our game...Change of political systemMay 14, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsChange of political system In Arms Race – The Cold War Era game each region has level of opposition and ideological influence. In TCWE2 the political life of regions much more various. Each region has ideological influence, leader with its own ideological vision, parliament with three main political orientation, radicals and level of development. Those are main keys which can stabilize region or vise versa, used it to change political system. We will speak in details about every group later in diaries. Today I’d like to explain the general idea why all this is in the game. There may be a situation when leader who has won election has different ideological vision compare to what his or her region has currently in power. There is possibility this leader may want to change ideology of its region with the help of “big brother”. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/7093d6744eefb8b4c20203fa3d0269048fb33c30.png Parliament is required to proceed laws. Laws are oriented on economic and political life of region. Some laws can change political system under different circumstances. Opposition to different laws is also possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/ddfcc8cbe07c308e8b15705f7482b0ca7ea8bb55.png Radicals is spire point of any opposition. Radicals support its own political ideology. If development level is low radicals won’t wait and start revolution to change political system. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/f93ae8f7cdb276963cad0b4f79ffbb7fc4c6e4cd.png Players can influence all noted above through embassies nets. Embassies and nets are individual for every single region and upgradable. Bigger embassy with advanced nets will make your Superpower in chosen region extremely influential! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37120063/47861a742dc4923294264ac07699f77f428c7007.png P.S.
