Overview

Spread the spirit of socialism around the world as you build Soviet superpowers in the locations of Pittsburgh, Prague, Paris, Pyongyang, and more.

Key Features

• Ten scale maps alongside a few iconic new buildings representing various nations and regions will allow you to develop glorious republics across unique geographical challenges and opportunities.
• Build and plan around scaled-down versions of existing real-world cities, towns, and villages on unpopulated maps, or take on the challenge of a pre-existing population to support right from the start as you establish your glorious nation: Austria: The rugged terrain of Austria provides rich pockets of essential resources from iron to coal to uranium while also presenting the challenge of building a nation around craggy cliffs and steep mountains – the western reaches will prove particularly challenging to navigate, though the north presents plenty of room to grow.
• Trade with the Soviet bloc comes easily, as there are plenty of customs houses to connect with them along the flatter northern and eastern parts of the country, but if you intend to work with the NATO nations, you’ll soon find yourself needing to carve through the western mountains.
• As a landlocked nation, airports will provide the only other avenue for trade with both blocs.

Gameplay

British Isles: While Dover provides a connection to both blocs through customs houses and a power line, the British Isles will rely heavily on trade by sea and by air – especially far from the south-east coast of England. Foreign trade aside, moving goods within your nation will provide a unique challenge too – though an Irish Sea Bridge is one way to connect the two islands, and perhaps even the Isle of Man, you’ll rely on ferries and cargo planes to maintain a reasonable flow of important goods. Ireland, for example, holds one of two uranium pockets alongside the Outer Hebrides, while iron is nowhere to be found outside of England and Scotland.
