Conflict: Middle East

[quoudam72]

Yes there are more political sims like this one but most are more advanced. Conflict Desert Storm 2 is not related to Conflict Middle East, CDS:2 is third-person squad-based action game from Pivotal Games.

I've read one preview about a game named "Republic: The Revolution", altough it is more a party simulator. Is that thing out?

[lowzeewee]

So I guess I will have to just play C:ME first.

OMFG.3 months in office!ROFLMAO!Syria invaded me,but there wasn't any of those newspaper headlines that said anything about me and Syria and also there were no diplomatic problems. :( LOL.

[Caid Ivik]

My negative record are 2 months. Push to egyptian wasp hive and you are dead.

[lowzeewee]

They keep engaging me in battles for no reason all the time though I keep my relations with them good. :D

It's coming out here sometime in september.

okay, just played my first game. i lasted 6 months. i was trying to fend of an assault from syria when jordan decided to come over.

how do you afford to build a large military force? i kept buying forces the entire time but it wasn't even close to enough

Well those US financial aid packages really help that come once a year as long as you don't make them mad. Otherwise, do as you are doing.

[neonext]

if i can only last that long...

my longest so far is 9 months. iraq nuked syria and the game ended with nuclear holocaust.

that's the one thing i don't like about this game, that it just ends with it saying the world is over after a single nuke is used. pffft way too unrealistic for me

[neonext]

cool, i just won my first game. 1 year and 7 months. started out by nuking egypt, then assasinating syria's leader after they took over jordan. ended with me invading lebanon (easy)

this game would be really hard without using nukes or assasinations or coups. anyone beat it by actually invading all four neighbors?

[Dunenewt]

I got a score of 333.

I had control over everyone but Egypt.

Thats where it went wrong

[neonext]

i have some questions:

1) is there any point in signing a military pact other than being a way to keep good relations with a country? is it basically a non-aggression pact?

2) how do you get more infantry? do you just wait for them?

3) why does nuking end the game sometimes and sometimes it doesn't?

i was thinking, maybe the nuclear halocaust only happens when a chain-reaction of nuking happens. for example, you quickly research atomic weapons and hurry up and nuke someone. no one else nukes in response, and the game continues. but if another country doesn't like you (possibly even the same country you nuked) and is a nuclear power they would nuke you in response causing a chain-reaction, which would end the game. this is just a theory, but i think if would be nice if it were that way. i hope it isn't just random

[Acriku]

I did it when no one had them and it resulted in a holocaust.

[lowzeewee]

Finished the game in 1 year and 7 months.Syria killed everyone and in the end Iraq killed Syria and I won! :D ;D I only researched nukes and bought weapons. ;)

[Khan]

I won in eleven months by nuking egypt and allying with Iraq to beat Syria. After that Jordan and Lebannon were easy to beat.:D

[Anathema]

I think that a holocaust happens when:

1. you use nukes against another nuclear power

2. someone other then you uses nukes

3. you use nukes for the second time

[neonext]

interesting...

i wish u could bomb all countries' nuke sites, but you cant.. only your neighbors :(

[Scrinlord]

no, because I have bombed other people who are not nuclear powers and it still does it

[ordos45]

Maybe when this was made during the 80s arm race, it was assumed that nukes would become even more powerful? Or, Israel is a US Ally and Client, while all the Arab nations were Soviet client states. You nuking them, or them nuking you causes a nuclear war between the USA and USSR?

[Scrinlord]

ya, that is pretty much the only thing that I can think of too

[Anathema]

Can someone attach this file again? I tried to get it from the-underdogs.org but I get a download error everytime ::)

[bryorama]

I downloaded, is it actually any fun? Screenies?

[bryorama]

I go into it, but every time I play the gay for a couple of seconds it toggles back to the desktop.
