Still, of AoD really doesn't want to continue, send the save, by whatever method.  Think, a Shadow President succession game.

This is my vote. People could even post that they want to take up the reigns and you could make a new poll so we could have an election.

Frankly you've done a great job with this LP. You are tired of playing but we aren't tired of reading.

Here is an update on my other current Shadow President game.

Review:
'90-'91: Iraq conquered Kuwait, Saudi, & Jordan. Soviet Union does not breakup.
1992: U.S. coups Iraq and its holdings. Capitalist Iraq keeps territorial gains and conquers Iran with U.S. assistance.
1993: U.S. helps South Korea take over North Korea.
1994: U.S. helps Capitalist Libya "resolve" their territorial disputes with Chad, Niger, & Algeria. Soviet Union coups Tunisia.

The Third World War: 1995

The World at War

Soviet Union STILL trying to take over Japan after over four months of war.

United States and allies taking war to the motherland.

They have the manpower, I have the advanced military spending.

U.S. troop deployments throughout the world

Soviet troop deployments throughout the world (note: Soviets could increase their deployments at anytime now that I invaded them)

U.S. has many more friends, even among former enemies

Capitalism on the rise

We begin to decrease our troop level in the Middle East. Because we're going to need every troop we can get to crush the mighty Soviet Union.







Soon, you will be ours!





No. Turkey often surrenders before we can do any damage.



Trve Kvlt Blakk Metuhl land shall assist us!



All of that can go into our defense budget.



Hmmm... I'm sure nobody'll mind if we take some money from investment and social spending to make our military spending a bit higher.





Sure!







I am growing impatient. I want to be a heartless imperialist now, not later!





We are getting closer to the ideal amount of troops! I can hardly wait.



Fuck, FUCK. Not good! Usually, when Canada does this, they end up assassinating me.





The day of invasion is nearing!



MUUHUHUHHUHUHUA!



Every single troop we can get helps.



Our main trading partner is the Soviet Union. This will slaughter our economy.





Not good!



Oh, by the way, I launched 100 nukes into the Soviet Union once my troops started to lose their will to fight.



NOW, WE WILL INVADE CHINA!







Fuck it. Time to use nukes.





We shall retaliate with ten times the force!







Nooo! Not Bob! Poor old bastard. Yeah, that's right, I started calling the NSA Bob. Admit it, it's quicker than "National Security Advisor".





So much for the economy...











We will win this war!









This leaves us with about 63 nukes. Plenty.









WE WON!



With a bit of modification of our budget, we can survive the crippling debt from the nuclear war.



We... cannot save ourselves from the popularity drop. Time to find another place to nuke.



Fuck. Just when I opened up an ideology filter, to see the remnants of Communism, Dosbox crashes. What an anticlimactic end.

That was fun!

[USEC_OFFICER]

So... Did you make a back-up of the save, or are you going to start a new game for the succession idea?

I saved just before I invaded the Soviets. I'll most likely be using that save

[Fniff]

Right. Just finished reading though.

Never, ever let Bay12 be the president of anything. Ever.

[EuchreJack]

I loved the ending.  It just seemed right somehow.

[Fniff]

Angel already fucked Shadow Government into submission, I think DOS was trying to save itself from the madness.

I also compiled a timeline of the first full playthrough. It's...

Uh, well, living in this world could only be described as nightmarish, if my estimations are correct. Total anarchy but yet a police state, nuclear winter, and democracy is a lie in favor of "Nihilistic murder as a policy"

Ah, shit, I don't exactly know which files are the savegame files.

[Tok'ra Operative]

Oh that is easy. What saved game slot is your saved game in?

The saved game is in the first slot.

Ok, here's a link to the save. It's up to the viewers if they want to 'elect' a certain person to continue the thread, or if they all want to do it, or if they want the savegame to be passed on, succession game style. Or if they want to do something different entirely.

[Svarte Troner]

Hey, that's my favorite Emperor song! Next to witches sabbath.

Gonna play that save just for the hell of it in the morning.

Having everyone obtain the save is a good idea. I think maybe we could make a contest out of this or something to see who gets the best results, such as defeating the USSR, not having advisers killed/resigned, getting re-elected at next Election Day, etc. Also, being able to beat the USSR with without nukes being fired at all by either side should be considered bonus points.

Speaking of Conventional World War 3, got a few updates for my version in which the Soviets invaded Japan.
1: The Battle of Japan and the Allied invasion of the Soviet Union continues.
2: U.S. and Zaire have invaded Angola since they are "at odds" and are hosting Soviet troops.
3: U.S., Libya, & Italy have invaded Communist Tunisia. USSR is helping defend.
4: U.S. & Gabon have invaded Equatorial Guinea. (Centralist Gabon is on the U.S.A. WTA for the rest of 1995 due to diplomatic negotiations) Equatorial Guinea has fallen and is now under control of Gabon.

Since AoD has temporarily gone inactive due to taking a break I will attempt to get this thread going again by posting the progress of my current game.

The Third World War: 1995

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

World War III continues, despite this U.S.A. Quality of Life is still at 100%

While Soviets can stack more troops to a territory, mine are more well trained

U.S. is clearly in the lead in regards to military power

I can see this conflict continuing into 1996--Unless someone decides to pop a nuke

Soviet Invasion of Japan is entering its fifth month

Allied Attack on the Soviet Union continues

Despite not being Communist, Angola is at odds with the U.S. and has Soviet-backing

Current WTA setup -- Clearly the enemy is virtually surrounded now

Capitalism is definitely expanding while Communism & Centralism are declining

I am thinking this is now the largest deployment of U.S. troops since the Second World War

I am sure it is only a matter of time before the Soviets max out their deployments and attack U.S. interests

Allied Holdings

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Iraq: Kuwait (1990), Saudi Arabia & Jordan (1991), & Iran (1992) Persian Gulf Crisis, U.S.-Sponsored Coup 'd Etat, & Second Iran-Iraq War

South Korea: North Korea (1993) Second Korean War

Liberia: Ivory Coast (1994) Liberia-Ivory Coast War

Zaire: Congo (1994) Congo War

Libya: Chad, Niger, & Algeria (1994) Libyan Territorial Disputes

Gabon: Equatorial Guinea (1995) Part of World War Three

Italy: Tunisia (1995) Part of World War Three

Greece: Bulgaria (1995) Part of World War Three

Negotiations & Coup 'd Etat

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

India is now on U.S.A. WTA for the rest of year -- Very useful setup against Soviet-backed China

Not much to look at but every additional soldier counts

Now a former Soviet ally is fighting for me! May help Ethiopia get back at Somalia for invading them in 1990

Active Combatants of World War Three--Could expand at anytime
U.S.A. WTA
United States, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Turkey, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Norway, Zaire, Libya, Italy, Greece, & Gabon
Soviet WTA & Soviet-backed
Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, & Angola (Also launched surgical strikes on China & Cuba)

U.S.A. Casualties: 183,918
Soviet Casualties: 899,910

Nice! This game is pretty awesome to follow and I like it that you're continuing as well
