    Yes, you got green (possibly my favourite colour) while I got grey.

    Hmm, well this was pretty odd timing; the day I sent off my computer to have a video card installed and tested (After making a multicore processor into a small drinks mat I leave the installing of new parts to the pro's) the entire forum goes haywire. Just a reminder that I will need about 3 more players and maybe one more guy who is good at writeups.

    OP Updated

    I would like some ideas on how to make players able to fight it out without them holding back on the premise of "if we start to win too much they will nuke us and its game over".

    The idea could be something along the lines of real life... there were plenty of conflicts where nukes weren't used but certain nations still engaged in warfare. The idea might be to obtain the alliance of one of the nuke-carrying nations so you can battle with approval of one of the nuclear club. The alliance can be made public, so if someone uses nukes on that nation, the allied nation uses their nukes on them.

    If 2 nuke nations are at war, it must be assumed that if nukes are launched to obliterate that one nation, an automatic return volley will be sent and that will wipe out the nuking power as well.

    Well at the time there was alot of guerilla warfare going on in afew countries between the USA/USSR sponsered states and rebels/freedomfighters. Maybe I could have it so that if the sides dont help their side win the civil wars they could lose main resources with consequences. For example if Venesuala becomes communist, Nato loses an oil supply and take longer to mobilise for war.

    I think I will implement one or two mercenary nations like somolia that if supplied and armed by, lets say, Russia, they will raid nato's shipping and make transportation around the indian ocean area allmost imposisible and the only way to stop it is to invade.
