I'd almost prefer something like Vicky for a Cold War game, where economics, sociology and political policy are as important as military power. There isn't much large scale combat post WWII and a whole lot more counterinsurgency, which the EU game engine is currently terrible at handling.
I agree. Though i still would like an Cold War era game to be more military oriented than Victoira. I would prefer a mix between HOI och Victoria with setting around 1945 into the next millenia, 2001 or so. But it wouldn't be HOI3 then, but would prefer an Colw War game over HOI3, cuz HOI2 works fine.
The techsystem of HOI is to prefer over Vichys techsystem.
And a trade with actual armaments, that i produced in individual factories like in Victoria. Very few states to day have a military industri of there own to supply them with what they need. Most buy what they need from abroad.
Say you only got one aircraft factory, but wants to build spyplanes och fighterplanes. First you build your spyplanes, and when they're done, you assign your factory to build fighterplanes.
And it can't be as many resorces as in Vichy. But i would like to see more than HOI.
Oil is an obvious resource, though it has to be processed into
fuel as in Vichy. So you can strike out the fuelfactories of one nations and soon it's motorised divisions, naval forces and aircrafts i out of fuel.
Metals is obvious, though it maybe has to be more specific, as you need
uranium for nuclear power, propulsion and weaponry. Maybe
copper and
silicon for electronics and
aluminium for later aircrafts.
Electricity,
food of course.
And there should be an option for biologial warfare, both targeting personel and agriculture.
The engine must be sphereical så you can send submarines, missiles and aircraft over the north pole.
Other resources like cars, drugs, television, coffe, tobacco, alcohol could be nesseties to keep your citizens happy and maybe attract educated personel form abroad to give you a research bonus.
There are so many events through that period that would be fun to play through an maybe change the outcome. Should your nation join EU, OPEC, UN, the Geneva conventions, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the START-treatys?
How will you act trough the vienam war, the oil crisis, suez crisis, falkland wars, cuban crisis, korean war? As UK will you reclaim your lost provinces, or let them be independent nations?
