PRESENTATION

Foreword

Unlike the epic Reagan-Gorbachev era released Balance of Power[www.mobygames.com] computer strategy game of geopolitics created by Chris Crawford and published in 1985, this game shows and is focussed on depicting big mushrooms!

The 1985 game was all about improving the player's superpower's standing in the world relative to the other superpower, where the player could choose to respond to random yearly world events in various ways, which could prompt a response from the other superpower.

This created brinkmanship situations between the two superpowers, potentially escalating to a nuclear war, which ended the game.

In short, a situation like the 2014 Ukraine coup would have invariably lead to a Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), the U.S.A. having crossed the red line by committing a gross misjudgement, forcing the U.S.S.R. to show its resolve.

Increasing the player's influence over the bipolar world order was the core concept. The game was won when the map was all turned either blue or red, meaning when all nations were aligned with the leading superpower.

But in this ICBM vanilla game, the delusional multipolar world map can never change, whether through bribery, intimidation, assassination, coup, insurgency or direct military invasion.

Even by being the most advanced power, and by having neutralized all the adversaries' armies with conventional non-nuclear weapons, no victory can be achieved.

Basically, the scoring system is based on the number of nukes detonated and ensuing civilian body count. The game can in no way end outside of a global nuclear holocaust.

Because it is only triggered by the 100% level of anthropogenic pollution threshold.

With ICBM, the ending screen of Balance of Power warning that "We do not reward failure" when escalating to a nuclear war has been turned into Command and Conquer Red Alert's most infamous "destroy everything and everyone. No prisoners, no survivors.".



Introduction

But, this MOD is aimed at fixing this, making it more like Balance of Power, with totally realistic outcomes that could be tomorrow's news headlines. No need to rush anymore, and less to engage in a futile self-defeating nuclear Armageddon.

Indeed, this means that the space-based orbital array of Directed Energy (DEW) satellites is the President Ronald Reagan's then envisioned Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the Star Wars program, finally reborn.

This game-changer will from now onward frustrate all genocidal nuclear Apocalypse maniacs, while not prevent conventional wars.

Indeed, the game-changing space-based orbital array of Directed Energy (DEW) satellites using microwave can be effective against Ground, Naval, City, Airborne, Missile, Ballistic Missile, but not Underground, Satellite and Subwater units.



Background

Indeed, as history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce, this is obviously a replay of the Cold War era classic, known as Project Azorian that used the purpose-built ship Hughes Glomar Explorer to retrieve secret codebooks and a R-21 nuclear missile on a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor in 1974 and under the cover of mining manganese nodules from the sea floor.

Today, the Project Azorian is replaced by the Starlink Program, the mining of manganese nodule by the space-based internet service, the ship Hughes Glomar Explorer by the Falcon-9 rockets, the eccentric billionaire businessman Howard Hughes by billionaire businessman Elon Musk.

And as a goal, the Soviet secret codebooks and a R-21 nuclear missile are replaced by the introduction of one of the most advanced secret warfare of the U.S. since 1950s.



DEW MOD

More game-ender

Starting with the version 1.2.1 of this MOD, a new ultimate superweapon has been introduced. It is the culmination of the Space Race for the colonization of the Solar System between the two Chinese and U.S. superpowers. Completing the previous 2nd generation DEW space weapon system, it now allows to even conduct preemptive strike at both underground and submerged targets. In this regards, this counter-nuclear superweapon can be considered a true next level game-ender.

OSINT notional tools

DEW SATELLITE ARRAYS MOD, an overhaul mod for ICBM, puts you in the position of one of the two superpowers of the world in the 2019-2049's time period.

It is the 3rd installment of the highly acclaimed historical modelization series "A century of mind-control warfare" dedicated to the development of the most secretive century-old directed energy weaponry.

This educational tool was initially planned to be released for Hearts of Iron II then Hearts of Iron IV as a trilogy.

This adaptation for ICBM is the first to be published, while awaiting the Paradox's team to finally polish its 2016 unfinished continuing beta versions.

The trilogy comprising the two new prequels that will follow:

  • 1930-1945 : Unit 731 and the rise of Mind-Control
  • 1945-2019: Completion of the first world conquest from Manchukuo to Washington
  • 2019-2049: Secret Master's rush forward to Mars and beyond

KEY FEATURES

New Starting Scenarios (TBD)

The year 2019 starts with a world pandemic, as a century earlier with the "Spanish" flu. In the rush for securing ever more rare-earth minerals, the two Chinese and U.S. superpowers of the 21st century will compete in the Space Race for global world dominance by conquering the Moon first as a springboard for Mars and beyond.

- also Ill give a super award that will clean my points out

I know its broken and one cant ever get that superweapon working
Also does the guy* I tested it with who also tried it also with no other mods activated
He looked into it closely and told me theres a broken file in it

I wont be rude this time & sorry I was because you made an amazing mod here and you produced it with no reward
But I believe the above is still true
Why not do a youtube of getting that Super weapon in effect and utterly disprove wot I said??
That would force me to apologise and withdraw everything Ive said and would be your payback for all my annoyance

Officer Oink
constantly ends with nuclear war in 10 mins?


I has come to the attention of the MOD's development team that some players have by lack of strategy totally under-used the phenomenal tremendous potential offered by this MOD.

The DEW SATELLITE ARRAY SUPERMOD is so far as we know, the only one in the STEAM workshop that can extend the game indefinitely, because it is the only one that totally counters all nuclear war maniacs.

Indeed, its unique cutting-edge ALIEN-like type of DEW superweapons from Mars and Moon colonies allows to effectively destroy every single warhead before any detonation, including those launched against a third party.

Consequently, the MOD has been beta tested beyond the record 9 hours mark (with 6x accelerated time compression), while not even reaching the 50% pollution threshold, a true exploit in itself.

In conclusion the true question with this SUPERMOD is: how do we end the game?
