Le Nouvel Ordre : Version 1.1 « Cutting Room Floor »

Aujourd'hui, 21 NOVEMBRE, quatre mois après la sortie initiale de The New Order, voici la première version majeure qui sort et qui ajoute - ou plutôt rajoute - du contenu à plusieurs nations ainsi que de toutes nouvelles mécaniques. L'objectif de cette première mise à jour, ainsi que des prochaines sur le court et le moyen terme est de rajouter du contenu qui a dû être coupé de TNO pour avancer la sortie en se focalisant sur la première décennie couverte par le mod (1962-1972). Pour le cas de « Cutting Room Floor », c'est vraiment tout le contenu prévu juste avant la sortie. Bien entendu ces mises à jour verront aussi des refontes et l'apport de nouvelles mécaniques (notamment le système économique, de politique étrangère, de la simulation de la guerre froide entre les trois superpuissances...). La finalité de tout cela est de compléter entièrement cette première décennie avant de pouvoir avancer sur la suivante (1972-1982/4).
Pour cette version 1.1 voici ce qui sera au menu :
  • La totalité du contenu de Reinhard Heydrich, prétendant lors de la Guerre civile allemande - coupée avant la sortie, désormais vous pourrez déverser un cauchemar sans fin sur l'ensemble de l'Europe...
  • Du nouveau contenu d'après guerre en Afrique du Sud à la fois pour les colonies du Reich allemand et pour les mandats de l'OFN étatsuniens...
  • De nouvelles mécaniques diplomatiques et de démantèlement pour l'Allemagne de Bormann
  • De nouvelles mécaniques et focus liés à une crise au début des années 1970.
  • Les Présidents des Etats-Unis élus en 1972 auront désormais un arbre des focus sur leurs 100 premiers jours - donnant une meilleure idée de ce que donneront leurs présidences à l'avenir.
  • L'Allemagne et les Etats-Unis ont désormais leurs propres agences de renseignements avec leurs propres mécaniques. Ces mécaniques permettent de mieux représenter la façon dont la guerre froide a permis aux superpuissances de rapprocher certaines nations de leur côté en les cajolant ou en sabotant leurs ennemis.
  • Refonte de la Bataille pour l'Italie entre l'OFN et la Sphère de Co-prospérité.
  • Ces unificateurs russes se sont vu ajouté du contenu (événements, focus, missions, décisions etc.) qui avait dû aussi être coupé avant la sortie :
    • Nouvelles mécaniques pour la Russie ultravisionnaire, l'Eurasie
    • Nouvelles opportunités pour Magadan
    • Du contenu pour Novosbirisk, le Conseil révolutionnaire populaire
  • Du contenu partiel pour l'Irlande avec ses propres mécaniques, focus et événements.
  • Nouvelles mécaniques pour l'Angleterre collaboratrice, notamment pour s'occuper de la garnison de Cornwall.
  • Refonte de la politique étrangère des années 1970.
  • Ajouts de nouveaux événements et chaînes d'événements.
  • Et bien d'autres ajouts ou rajouts !

Les nouvelles mécaniques du Grand Reich Africain, royaume chauchemardesque d'Huttig...



Aperçus de la République d'Irlande au début du jeu...



... et quelques années plus tard.



La Fédération de Novosibirsk était l'un des unificateurs laissé pour compte au moment de la sortie. Voici l'un de ses arbres de focus !



En tant que coeur industriel de la Sibérie et héritière du plan de développement soviétique de Boukharine, Novosibirsk a des mécaniques intéressantes...



L'Allemagne de Bormann et de Speer pourront mettre en place leurs propres agences de renseignement leur permettant de mettre en action leurs politiques étrangères face au Japon et aux Etats-Unis...



L'un des mandats de l'OFN que les Etats-Unis peuvent mettre en place après la guerre sud-africaine... Certainement la voie pour ramener la paix et la stabilité sur le continent africain...



En politique étrangère ou face aux crises... des situations exceptionnelles nécessitent souvent des réponses appropriées...



Qui dit Guerre Froide, dit CIA. Qui dit CIA, dit... méthodes intéressantes



L'Italie peut devenir le terrain de jeu féroce entre les différentes superpuissances qui chercheraient à la courtiser... Une brêche assurée dans le mur de fer européen.



Voici un aperçu de l'autre seigneur de guerre potentiellement unificateur russe qui a fait l'objet d'une attention particulière pour cette nouvelle version.



Il est entendu qu'un "état" forgée dans le fer, le sang, l'esclavage, l'opression orwélienne ne peut être qu'un paragon de stabilité, n'est ce pas ...?
