First off, I know this might not be the right place for this discussion, but discussions about the previous "Civilization" games has taken place in this particular subforum, so I assume it's here.
Now, anybody who's been following the development of "Civilization: Beyond Earth" knows about the "Great Mistake" and the resultant Dark Age which lasts two centuries, during which time many nations reform and become radically different. While what these nations/organizations and their territorial composition are remain vague, a lot of events have been alluded to (e.g. the Pan-Asian Cooperative centred around China and stretching from "the Mongolian steppe to Bangkok, with even regional rivals like South Korea and Japan laying aside their differences", Brasilia becoming one of the dominant world powers with a huge role in reconstruction and nation-building after the Mistake, the People's African Union being subjected to economic stresses, etc.).
The spaceships were launched between the early to late-2200s. During those 200 years of Dark Age, what do you guys think happened? Here's my guess:
- Third World War led to limited nuclear exchange in parts of the world
- Greenland and large parts of Antarctica melted, sea levels rise drastically
- Kavitha Thakur gains immortality (this is never mentioned why, assume ASBs)
- United States retreats into isolation, influence doesn't spread beyond Central America
- Kavitha Thakur gains cult-like status across Indian Subcontinent, becomes a major figure for the devastated peoples of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other nations, leads the nation through rebuilding efforts as the entire Subcontinent unites for the first time in a century
- Pan-Asian Cooperative formed through merger of ASEAN and SCO after former falls apart and Russia breaks from latter
- Commonwealth of Polystralia formed after social breakdowns in Indonesia and Pacific island nations leads to Australian intervention
- Russian expansionism leads to major confrontations with a united Europe and the PAC
- Fourth World War between Russia and EU
- Germany neutralized, Russia annexes most of her former possessions as well as Poland and other Slavic-dominated regions and declares Slavic Federation
- Franco-Iberia declared after loss in the Fourth World War
- Brasilia formed through unification/confederation between numerous South American regional powers which largely escaped the war
- Numerous major North American corporations united as the American Reclamation Corporation
- Corporation becomes the largest private company in the world, revitalizes American economy as U.S breaks out of isolationism and takes over Canada, Central America and Caribbean and cautiously begins confronting Brasilia
- Events of Beyond Earth begin
That's just what I think, but I want to hear your other suggestions.
