Ever start a new game with a country you've played before?
Posted: Feb 05 2014
I rarely do this. It just almost seems too...familiar to play a country I've played before.
So far I've played Brazil, Iran, Philippines, Cuba, Niger, Mali, South Africa, Australia, Taiwan, Vietnam, the US state of Ohio [in Shattered World] and South China [also in Shattered World]. Maybe a couple other countries as well. My games either take a long time before I abandon them, or they end quickly in defeat.
I'm tempted to start a new South China game to see if I can get the game conditions set in a way that will make it more fun. I want to be able to develop the country, and I want to have some warfare, but on high volatility I wind up at war very quickly with Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea and India. I find it very difficult to handle wars on multiple fronts.
My game as Iran was interesting, because the early war with Turkey is winnable. After that I was able to carve out an empire that extended all the way to western China and the eastern border of India. I lost that game, though, when the hard drive on our desktop computer died.
