I don't know a cold war game could be awesome, With the doomsday clock right in the middle of the upper toolbar, if it ever reaches midnight... game over.
you cut to a cutscene with the earth seen from orbit and mushrom cloud cropping up one after the other and the words.
"Congratulation, you've reached the end, ten millenia of human civilisation has been whiped from the face of the earth it's doubtful if life itself will ever recover. Mankind certainly will not."
fade into view and then out of view again. Judas Priests cathedral spires playing the background.
"So devourer or devoured, time to rise up and retire, watching as a world expires... from up amongst the clouds."
Jokes aside, it would be pretty cool it would finally be a game that showed how horrible war is not just the happy merry map painter that is the other paradox games.
To quote crimson tide:
"In the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself."
of course that was true long before the nuclear world, and is something that I'd like se see more represented in all paradox games.
That's hyperbolic nonsense. At its worst a Nuclear War would wipe out most of the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere would be almost untouched. Human Civilization would be set back greatly, but it would not be eliminated in its entirety.
Hell, there's even a half way decent chance that the US could survive the war as a political entity.
