The 21st Century - A Modern War Game!

So, here's my game I'm planning to do. You choose a nation that exists currently, and you want to conquer the world with that nation. Here's the back story: the entire history of the world! Anyway, here's what I have made.


The Basics:


You are a leader of a country. If you are a democratic nation, you have a lot less unrest, but you can be booted out of office if the people do not like you. If you are a dictatorship, you will be in rule of the entire country, and have more unrest, but you cannot be booted out of office, and your Military and police can kill anyone who doesn't like you. Democracies are less militaristic, but you can slowly expand and make sure your new territories like you. Dictatorships are like the Mongols: You spread fast, but you have the chance of falling apart at any time. You can change from a Dictatorship to a Democracy by simply giving up power, but you will have to have a strong Military to turn a Democracy into a Dictatorship.


Also, you will have cities. Each country has a different amount of them. Cities give manpower, which is used to recruit people into your army, science, which is used to develop new weapons and make your military stronger, and money, which is used to fund everything. Manpower is the population of the city divided by five and rounded to the nearest 1000, each city gives 5 science, and you get a varying amount of money based on your tax rate. You can set up your tax rate to be as high as you want, but it will reduce the people's approval of you in Democracies by a lot. Here's an example of how the tax system works:


Tax: 10 Percent


Average city income: $10,000


Tax Income: $1,000


Also, you will get to adjust your nation's policy. Every week, you will get new possible policies to enact and decisions to make. However, the amount of stuff you can do is limited by your Political Capital. Every city gives you one Political capital, and you can spend 10,000 dollars to gain an additional Political capital. However, if your unrest is high, your political capital gets halved. Each decision you make costs five political capital, so it will be important to conserve your points.


On the point of decisions and policies, here's how they work. A decision is something you have to do, and it will negatively impact something but help something else. You will get one decision every week. Policies are improvements you can make to your government and your cities. For example, one policy might increase a city's weekly science from 5 to 6, or give you an additional 1,000 dollars a week or something like that.


Unrest is caused when you make a decision, change your government, or conquer a city. Unrest is on a scale of 0-100. If you are an Autocracy, you will gain 5 unrest every week, and get double the Unrest from decisions. Every time you make a decision that increases Unrest, you gain 5 Unrest as a Democracy and 10 as an Autocracy. If you conquer a city, you get 10 unrest. If you change government, you get 50 unrest. If you get to 100 unrest, every city will only produce 1 science, your Political Capital will be halved, and you will not get any money from any city other than your capital.


Approval Rating: Entirely affected by policies and decisions, and is only for democracies. If you do not have a 51 percent approval rating, you risk being kicked out of office in an election. Elections take place every 20 weeks, so you better keep that approval up.


Also, everything will be weekly. You will get your political capital, science, and money every week, and you will decide what to do with those things every week, too. If people want to, I can increase the frequency of turns to make the game go faster, but I want to use weeks at the start.


Military Breakdown:


Land Units:


Infantry: Regular, old infantry. Strong against artillery. Takes 1,000 manpower for 1 infantry division. Every division costs $1 per week.


Tanks: Your average tank. Strong against Infantry. Takes 1,000 manpower for 1 Tank Division. Every division costs $5 per week.


Artillery: Your average rocket artillery. Strong against Tanks. Takes 1,000 manpower for 1 Artillery Division. Every division costs $10 per week.


Air Units:


Fighters: This is what is used to protect bombers and fight other planes. Takes 1,000 manpower for 1 Fighter division. Each division costs $5 per week.


Bombers: Every 10 divisions of Bombers will do one of three things against an enemy city every week: Reduce science by 1, reduce Manpower by 10 percent, and reduce Money by 10 percent. Takes 1,000 manpower for 1 Bomber division. Each division costs $10 a week.


Naval Units:


Transport ships: Ships that can transport one land division. Each ship costs $1.


Big Ships: These are your battleships and destroyers. Strong against Small Ships and Submarines. Costs 10,000 manpower for 1 Ship. Each ship costs $100 dollars per week.


Small Ships: These are small ships, used to cover the flanks of bigger ships and harass destroyers. Costs 500 Manpower for 1 ship. Each ship costs $1 per week.


Submarine: The underwater stealth master. Strong against Big Ships. Costs 2,000 manpower for 1 submarine. Each submarine costs $10 per week.


How Science Helps:


So, you might ask what science if for. Well, you can upgrade your army! For every 100 science, you can upgrade one of these classes. This will increase their power, and allow you to destroy all of your enemies. Here's what you would have in your military topic of your country's board.


Land:


Infantry: 1


Tanks: 1


Artillery: 1


Air:


Fighters: 1


Bombers: 1


Sea:


Transports: 1


Big Ships: 1


Small Ships: 1


Submarines: 1


Then, if you have 100 science, you would change one of those to 2.


So, this is what I have cobbled together to present to you. I have two more things to add, and then I can do the rest based on what you want:


Executive Orders: Use 5 Political Capital to pass your own policy. These policies can do anything as long as they are balanced.


Breakthrough Discovery: If you have 500 science, you can make another class of units that can give you an edge on your opponent.


This is an interest check, so you can suggest for me to add or remove features. I will definitely add stuff based around bankruptcy, though.

I'd like to state a few things:


1. Is there not a republic government option?


2. A few facts that you may find helpful: MBTs. MBTs are main battle tanks, that's what your game probably wants. IFVs are infantry fighting vehicles, based on killing off ground and seaborne humane troops. MAAs are mobile anti-aircraft, based on killing and destroying enemy aircraft.


3. Shouldn't there be Transports? Like APCs?
 
1. It's In The Player's Decision. There Are Different Kinds Of Government.


3. We Must.


Suggestion: Can You Specify The Units? Like Snipers, Flamethrowers, etc...
 
I Suggest Also To Having:

  1. International Treaties (Which Will Cease Any War Between Conturies)
  2. International Groups (Like ASEAN, OPEC, UN, etc...)
  3. National Capitals (The Center Of Each Contury. Gives Double The City Gives)
  4. Suburban Areas (Gives Half Of What A City Gives) And Rural Areas (Which Give Quarter Of What The City Gives)

Ok, so, I'll look into your suggestions. I think Anti Aircraft Guns are something I should have already included. I can definitely add more unit types at the start. I don't really want to get into organizations and international treaties because a lot of countries would be surrounded by other countries in their organization, giving them nowhere to expand. I was thinking of a Civilization 5 system for capitals, where you have to capture every capital of all of the nations to win the game. Also, I was going for a Civilization 5 system where a city represents an entire area. For example, Houston might represent all of Texas and Oklahoma along.
 
Ratings:


1: What? You Fear That The Countries Can't Expand? For Example, ASEAN Members Would Be Surrounded By Other Countries, They Cant Expand?


But The Purpose Of Some Organisation Is Not Related To War. Like APEC, OPEC, Etc...


2: Civilization 5 system





Maybe So. But Are You Sure That You Dont Want The Production Suggetions?
 
Yes. I am especially afraid for Bloodmancer, who is playing as Luxembourg. He could not expand because he does not have a coastline and is surrounded by nations in the EU.


Well, the amount of rural/suburban dwellers in the city's area will be reflected in how good the city is.
 
No. You will probably be alone in South East Asia. However, I must say that China could steamroll you if you don't get out of the Spratly Island situation.
 
I'm giving you some advice.


I think I might want to move this to another place, though. I think it might be cluttered over here, but I'm still thinking about it.
