Description
About This Game
Guide a nation through the Cold War, using both soft and hard power to win allies and defend your way of life. Experience decolonization, the space race, espionage, ideological conflict and more, with streamlined mechanics and retro-inspired graphics, alone or in multiplayer!
Unlike many historical games, warfare is not the main focus here, and world conquest is practically impossible. The superpowers are unable to fight each other directly, due to the threat of mutually-assured destruction with nuclear weapons. Play too aggressively, and you risk destroying the world! You will have to carefully use influence, trade and intrigue alongside your military might in order to achieve supremacy.
This roadmap will be updated and improved as progress is made.
