War of 2140 (Please Tell Me if Title Needs to Change)

[Crescent0900]

DESCRIPTION

What this is supposed to be is a futuristic war between the Americas against the rest of the world. You play as a recruit fresh out of military Boot Camp on route to home. Your convoy suddenly gets attacked in a canyon, and that's when the action starts.

This game is mostly mission based, and strategy based. You can order different types of things, like Tanks, Airships, or just regular footsoldiers.

I'm trying to experiment with RMXP as much as I can, and I want to have the scripts for shootem up type games, and the coding for strategy based games. Plus some modern Army things, like bases, troops, tanks, artillery, and airships (Not like Final Fantasy Airships, I'm talking about C37 Gunships)

HISTORY

Something like an "Alternate" History of the future.

September 2010- UN Forces move into Iraq to wipe out the warring Muslim Tribes; The Republic of America is formed. Iraq takes in Democracy.

Sometime in 2027- North Korea launches its first Nuclear Weapon against Russia; World War III Begins. America launches an immediate assault on North Korea.

July, 2045- WWIII Ends; North Korea's government steps down from power; The Americas destory the remaining missle silos in the DMZ.

December, 2050- North Korea rises back to power; Japan, Russia, and the Western Regions of Europe fall under Communism.

2055- Austalia invades North Korea; Falls under communism. Americas formed the West Defense Forces; Once again, invades NK.

2100- The War of 2100 begins; ends in defeat for RoA; NK Invades what used to be California.

August 27, 2115- Your Character is Born.

2130- NK grabs hold of North America's government; Civil War begins.

2135- Civil War ends; America pushes NK out of the region.

2140- (In the game: The Present) America launches an invasion into Eastern Europe. Takes back France, Germany, Normandy, and Czech.

That's basically the history of the game.

Characters

The Recruit
Age: 15
Weapon: M9
Rank: You start off as a private.

Bio:
Born in a bombed out Las Vegas, you went off to Military Boot Camp to join the Confederate Army.

At Boot you met a lot of great friends, and also discovered that they live in Vegas too.

Leaving Boot, your convoy was attacked by Communist rockets, and you were immediatly put into a squad. That's when the game starts.

Geraldo Jorge
Age: 18
Weapon: SAW (Squad Automatic Rifle)

One of the many Russians who defected from Communism. Your convoy picked him up from the roadside after the attack on your vehicles. Nothing is known about him, expect that he knows more about his country's old weapons, and uses them to his full knowledge.

The bios are in your character's FPV.

Please tell me what you think, and what I should change. Please don't be so harsh, too. This is my very first War game.

The name should change. A war that big wouldnt last just a year, and the only wars that are called things like "war of *year*" last only a year.
I dont really care for the plot because of a few holes(though I like "what if" scenarios based off the real world). I mean if America became a Confederacey the individual states would be sovereign from one another so how could they launch the kind of attack that requires federal funding and collaberation without the, you know, federal element existing anymore? I think you might of just misused the word confederation.

 

[Crescent0900]

I don't think this would make sense, but the confederacy is actually made up of both South and North America. About the title, thanks for the suggestion. And, yes. I misused the word confederation. What would be a better name for it?

 

[Crescent0900]

Edited first post. Confederacy is changed to Republic. And it's made up of both South, Central, and North America.

 

[Verenti]

North Korea invaded North America, and defeated the Gov't and you're wondering how a Confederation can have a decent military funding to undertake large scale military action?
(Canada is a confederation and is currently undertaking operations in Afghanistan)

Don't take this as critisim, but I don't see how North Korea can become that powerful in one hundred years if they didn't successfully invade and annex a country like ... China.

And how did they manage to hold out for 18 years against the combined forces of the US and Russia? World War I lasted like 4 years and World War II lasted 6.

Also what drove the UN to anhilate the Muslim Tribal population in the middle east?

Also what spurred on the world wide communist Ressurgence? And are these countries allied or somthing? And do you think it's possible that the Social Democratic atmosphere of Western Europe could foster a Communist Revolt? Did they have serious Nationalist reforms in next century?


I ask so many questions because you may have it all worked out, but didn't mention it, not as a form of Critism.

However, If I were to make a suggestion you may want to change the "Bad Guy" army that of China, and they could have been working through North Korea as a Proxy state. As they're much more likely to have the technology and the manpower to undertake somthing so large to invade North America. Plus they have many many many more nuclear weapons than North Korea.

Edit: Having a particular date in an event that spans more than a year is acceptable historically. It marks the commencement of the event

 

[Mac]

Like what Myonosken said...its very far-fetched...it takes many many many years to rebuild an economy...Germany are still recovering to this day!

 

[ryanwh]

Edited first post. Confederacy is changed to Republic. And it's made up of both South, Central, and North America.

Oh ok. For some reason I thought you were stating that the 50 US state would become a sovereign confederacey. I guess its the US's fault for always assuming "America" reffers to the US by default :P

 

[gorechild]

Dude, you do know WW3 has already started don't you? It started when the war with iraq started dude. We are already in World War 3.

 

[Incognitus]

You're going to compare the little spat in Iraq to ordeals that cost millions of lives and consumed the entire world in conflict?

You're about as convincing when it comes to understanding politics as Crescent.

The best constructive criticism I can give is to go and start constructing another project.

 

[Crescent0900]

I think you ought to read up on current day political systems, political concepts and treaties as this just looks daft to me to be honest.

I also find it highly irritating that this shows Aamerica taking on the world, and, for the most part, winning.



What. The. Hell.

So in 5 years, North Korea rebuilds its economy, pulls out of a post-war depression, rebuilds its nukes AND conquers the world?

Also, how can Australia invade North Korea, but become communist? Wouldn't that be North korea invading Australia at some point?


Slight problem, they aren't America's to take back.

Do you want to know what REALLY bugs me about this? I assume you know nothing about communism, as, in theory, it is a very good political system. It may never work out in practice, but, hey, neither does Democracy! Anyway, I think this just sums up your attitude:



Yeah, Im defecting from Democracy!

Edit:

So a peace keeping fforce decide to wipe out a religious group? Riiight.

For the first part: I didn't say anything about them winning.

And thanks for the critism. However, I'm just not very good at making up stories that have much to do with politics and governments.

As I said: If any (or ALL) of this needs to be changed, please say so.

 

[Verenti]

Where were the Asian Countries and South America in the Great War? Yet we call that World War I.

And I doubt that all the countries in the American Hemisphere would come under a Republic. Considering the Second Largest country in the world, The Largest in that Hemisphere is a Constitutional Monarchy. Confederation would be a much more realistic Government for than a Republic.

 

[Incognitus]

Verenti... Fighting took place between colonies. in Africa. And if you read your history properly you'll know there was tons going on in the Asia theatre.

 

[Durastik]

This game currently could offend numerous religeous groups and countries.

This game seems slightly illogical, I couldn't relly follow what the hell was going on in your summary.

Are you planning to code this yourself?

Peace

 

[Crescent0900]

Holy crap, people, if you think my game has a problem, then just say it. This game isn't all politics; it's war. I just don't know much about governments and I get confused with most of them. Just take it easy on me, jeez.

 

[Durastik]

I just don't know much about governments and I get confused with most of them. Just take it easy on me, jeez.

If you can't understand the subject matter of your game, you shouldn't be making it.

Peace

 

[Verenti]

Be fair, We're not talking about the West Wing here.
It's not a Tom Clancy novel.

It's Science Fiction. Amatuer Science Fiction. If he had some reason to substantiate the history it wouldn't be so bad.

Besides if you needed a degree to write fiction about your subject matter... Well, Lets just say We'd have a lot books in the world.

I mean, its not so unreasonable for a war to drag on for that long, or a sudden recovery of economy if it was substantiated. The plot needs alittle refinement, acouple tweaks to increase plausibility.

 

[Durastik]

I never said you need a degree, but every writer looks into their subject matter beforebeggining, otherwise they'll sound like an idiot.

Peace
