Red Dawn (1983 Scenario)
The aliens arrive during one of the heights of the Cold War, with Earth divided between the Western and Eastern blocs, both heavily armed and ready for WW3.
Work in progress – the game is still on development, so expect bugs, crashes, broken saves, etc. And please report any bugs to the specific Steam or Discord threads.
Includes:
* Seven new player factions to replace the vanilla ones: Strategic Defense Initiative, Operation RYaN, UN Secretariat, New World Order, United Front, Gladio and Enterprise;
* The nations and the bilateral relationships have been reset to the year of 1983, with the corresponding flags and names;
* Starting armies increased and renamed, nuclear and space programs also reset to the 1980s;
* 300+ historical organizations: KGB, FEMA, NASA, Stasi, Spetsnaz, Pravda, TASS, MiG, Sukhoi, Tupolev and others;
* New KGB Officer trait, exclusive to RYaN faction’s starting council member, allows to purchase/use the KGB orgs;
* New Communist trait for councillors with three levels, required to purchase/use Eastern orgs, gives several bonuses but it also causes loyalty drops;
* Western orgs can’t be purchased/used by councillors with the Communist trait;
* Environmental conditions (CO2, methane, etc.) and space programs reduced to reflect 1983;
* Miltech reduced by 0.3-0.5 points depending on the country;
* The Soviet Union starts with 5 control points, India and China with only 4;
* Several new unification projects:
** European Union (allows the 12 EEC countries to unify)
** Pan-Europa (Germany unifies Europe instead of France)
** Western Alliance (Belgium unifies all the Western powers under NATO banner)
** Red Dawn (Soviet Union claims the USA)
** Cuban Missile Crisis (Cuba and Nicaragua move to control the Caribbean and Central America)
** Communist International (Soviet Union annexes all Communist countries in the world);
* Other existing projects have been renamed based on related historical events: Seven Days to the River Rhine, Fall Of The Berlin Wall and Cold War Victory.
* Pluto is back to being the ninth planet and Ceres reverted to asteroid status (dwarf planets only appeared in the 2000s).
