North Vietnam for the challenge :)
Would say Bhutan too, but never managed to really "take off" with that country

I've only spent time with Canada, USA and USSR so far. Canada can be built into a surprising superpower.

It's not surprising Canada can be turned into a superpower. They have every resource and a decent population. My favorite country to play as is Argentina. They, like Canada have every resource you need with a medium sized population. Then I take over Chile and Uruguay in order to create my beautiful South American Superpower.

I wish there was a working Modern World mod that doesn’t crash every two second because I would recreate what I did in SR2020. I played as Brunei and took over the island. That island has pretty much everything you need except for Uranium. Its light on the oil, but by the time I need more I usually take over a Middle Eastern country or create synthetic oil.

Bhutan is fun too. What I usually do is tech trade like crazy, and build up a decent army. Then try to friend Korea and Japan. You can try to friend China but it’s going to cost you. Then I move my army to Japan and launch an attack on Russia. I grab all the land up until you see a huge river. Destroy as many bridges as possible via air strike. This slowed down the Russians so much I hardly got attacked. Eventually make peace with them and you have a slice of heaven. If you look you will have a boatload of oil and a decent amount of every resource.

Poland. Never played PL until recently. Great fun. First conquer Scandinavia, then East Germany, and then you have whole Western Europe to nail. After that, punishing Soviets is only a matter of time! Very fun.

[_]OT If your having crashing problems running my mod make sure your fully updated. Old versions of SRCW are not compatible with it and the only known crashing issue is caused by trying to run it on old or pirated copies.

Also there's the the global crisis conversion I made, thats an exact copy of the GC scenario from 2020. Again though you need an updated/non pirate copy of SRCW.

The only thing I can think of if your fully up to date is not having it installed properly. You unzip the file into the same folder your srcw.exe is in. (your honestly the first report of any crashing issues I've had, the only reason i know older versions crash is I have an older version installed along side my normal version for testing etc.)
Although Steam isn't fully up to date. (the steam version is still at 7.2.1, current version is 7.2.2.) I just tested in version 7.2.1 and saw no issue. Make sure you have the newest version of the mod as well. :wink:
