Sandbox mode info

[unmerged(199987)]

what will be the difference between campaign and sandbox except that will be possible to choose any country.
And what options will I have if I play for example with Yugoslavia

 

[Balthagor]

The sandbox provides the player greater flexibility in customizing their playing experience. Not only does it open up the game to being played as any nation that was independent in 1949, but it allows for more options in the victory conditions, the historical events, and more. And since you are not necessarily playing as one of the two super powers, then the importance of the Spheres of Influence is likely less.

So theres still SoI in Sandbox? I almost thought it was just gonna be like SR 2020 but set in 1949!

Will only the Soviet Union and the USA have SoI? It seems a bit unfair if the player can somehow turn a lesser nation into a superpower that he still doesn't have his own SoI.

So a country like Lithuania will be unplayable ? Or will there be means to release countries before starting the game?

 

[Balthagor]

Lithuania is unplayable, it is part of the Soviet Union. We treat it as a colony for game engine purposes.

There are still SoI in Sandbox.

 

[princereaper]

Will it be possible to play as another nation and have a SoI?

A colony? Are all the SSRs colonies of Russia?

Heres a list.

[Balthagor]

The Sphere of Influence system is a balance between the Red Sphere and the Blue Sphere (Warsaw/NATO) though regions can be "neutral", not in either spheres.

 

[Samilou]

Would make sense to add Russia as well as Soviet Colony in order to enable Russian independence following a fall of the Soviet Union, unless you have a way to script name and flag change.

 

[Balthagor]

We have notably increased the scripting ability of the engine but our focus has been more on events before the end of the Cold War

why is Tibet and Ughuristan chinese colonies?

they were fundamentally part of China.

they were fundamentally part of China.

These areas were autonomous to a degree that probably made Battlegoat make them "colonies for gameplay purposes" (only.) My understanding of Tibet's status until 1959 when the ChiComs sent the troops in was that it was more of a client state with foreign policy dictated by Beijing than a true part of China. Obviously that situation has since changed.

 

[Balthagor]

Another good explanation by Barkhauer. The "Colonies" game system allows us to model a few different nuanced territorial relationships with one game mechanic.

I hope it will be possible for people to add new events to the game as well?

 

[Balthagor]

Was possible in the previous game and will be possible again, though one of the less documented modable areas.

will it be possible to annex colonies so that they can become proper parts of the country?
or would i have to declare war on my own colony to annex it?

I'm not sure I see a difference between the two if the colony doesn't want to be annexed.

Not too keen on the colonies set up
