Your progression through these areas will determine the course of the Cold War as well as the final triumph over the other side. Both are important centerpieces to the game. Of course, it wouldn’t be the Cold War without the Space Race and Nuclear Arms Race. However, if you want the world to burn in nuclear oblivion, then by all means go crazy.Ĭold War doesn't take place on one tiny map. You don’t have to play as either NATO or the Eastern bloc countries in order to influence world events. What the game does well with this aspect is that any country could potentially affect the DEFCON level. The higher the rating, the closer you are to all-out nuclear war. The DEFCON meter indicates the level of hostility between the East and the West. Using foreign aid and subversion through funding insurgencies, players will be able to undermine other nations in order to draw them toward a pole. If you choose to play as either a NATO or Warsaw Pact nation, one of your missions will be to draw these non-aligned governments to your side. This is particularly appealing for those that want to jump into the action instead of tediously managing other affairs of state.Ĭentral to the game and its Cold War theme is the Sphere of Influence meter which indicates countries aligned with democracy and communism as well as non-aligned nations. Scenarios allow players to play specific conflicts during the Cold War era such as the Korean War and Vietnam. And if you find the game overwhelming, then Sandbox mode would be a better option as it allows players to select from a wide array of countries that are easier to manage and learn the basics of the game as there is a lack of a tutorial.
Grand strategy games can be very complex. In Campaign mode, players will be able to play either the United States or the Soviet Union. Grand strategy games are not for the weak.Ĭold War features three modes: Campaign, Sandbox, and Scenarios.
