Cold War plays similar to Future mode, with a few differences:

• All civilizations have a WWII/ Cold War Era unique unit that can be used to trigger their Golden Age.

• Turn limit is 80 turns, game setting Regicide.

• New Assets and Animations! This mod takes unused World War 2 assets hidden in the game files, allowing for a richer Modern Era experience. Resource icons will look slightly different, as the assets in this mod are based off Play the World rather than Conquests, but have been tweaked to approximately match land distributions in standard Future.

The most recent uploaded version is v. 1.33.

Here is a link to a Youtube video guide introducing the mod and covering basic concepts. The video was made before new art assets were implemented, but most of the information is correct.

Note that you'll want to change the name of the file to one of the multiplayer conquests scenarios, such as "9 MP WWII in the Pacific.biq" if you want to host a multiplayer game. The game is designed to be hosted using standard Future settings (70% water with desired/random landmass type).

*Difficulty must be set to Deity to disable auto-pops.

All assets are baked into the biq file, therefore only the host needs to download the biq. No other downloads are required!

• New unit assets and resource icons. Here are a few:

• All Civs have the Expansionist trait. This means they start with a 2 mover scout, and cannot pop Barbarians from goody huts.

• Players now start with 2 workers instead of 1

• Irrigation is always 1 turn (even in Anarchy)

• 21 New Civilizations with Unique Units

• 10 new Units available to all civs

• New Wonders and Improvements

• New Tech Tree

• Communism has been buffed with cheaper Granaries and 2 new improvements, Gulag and Local Party HQ.

• Resource spawn rate has been tweaked, to improve low food starts and improve sea resources. 6 New resources. Saltpeter now spawns in desert and grassland.

• Ironworks has been nerfed, it now requires "Logistics" technology and improves shields by 50% (instead of 100%) Railroads also require this technology.

• "Fighters" are now mobile units, that can fly over land or sea. Think of them as flying scouts. They have a bombard instead of bomb ability (although the hotkey "B" doesnt work, you need to click the button on screen). By being mobile units, its is easier to conduct Air Superiority missions at a distance from your home cities or in combat over a wide area. Fighter recon ability has been removed, however "Jet Fighters" and "Spyplanes" work like planes in the basegame.

• "Submarine" removed, now only "Nuclear Submarine" is in play. Submarines were too cheap and powerful for players with oil. The German U-Boat is the only oil submarine now.

• Nuclear Submarines and "U-Boat" now have a torpedo bombard ability, lethal sea only.

• Aqueducts can be built in Wartime.

• Harbor and Offshore Platform are now discounted only for Seafaring Civs.

• Clear wetlands worker job reduced by 25 percent.

• 2 MP versions of the mod depending on player count to ensure Cruise Missile viability. One PBEM version as well.

• Settlers can now airdrop up to 6 tiles from airbase or airport.

• Autopops are disabled, normal settler pops are still possible.
