World War III Campaign
Central intelligence archive for the standard World War III theater, covering starting-city weight classes, simulation speed, AI buffer states, doctrine assignments, strategic chokepoints and coalition victory thresholds.
Geopolitical Weight Classes // City Quantity Matrix
Russia: 10 cities at 1x, 9 at 4x. USA: 10 at 1x, 9 at 4x. China: 9 at both speeds. Brazil: 9 at 1x, 8 at 4x.
India: zero resource production debuffs and compact subcontinent defense. Germany: 8 cities at 1x, 7 at 4x; low starting electronics and heavily land-locked.
Iran, France, United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Sweden, Australia, Indonesia, Colombia, Peru and Saudi Arabia. Several listed nations drop to 6 cities at 4x speed.
Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Algeria, Spain, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Romania, Ethiopia, Finland, Norway, Iraq, Vietnam and Syria. Mexico, Finland and Norway are listed at 5 cities in 4x.
South Africa, Chad, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Morocco, Cameroon, Angola, Mongolia, New Zealand, Cuba, Namibia and Israel.
North Korea: source notes zero mainland electronics factories. South Korea: source notes zero local fuel cities and a negative baseline balance.
Operational Logistics // Speed & AI Buffers
Speed Matrix Parameters
1X Standard: long-term macroeconomic development with slower operational pacing.
4X Blitz: the supplied dossier states city base production is 75% of 1x parameters while troop movement is accelerated by 400%.
Automated Rogue States & AI Buffers
AI countries are described as unplayable strategic buffer sectors, usually controlling one city or neutral territory. The source also highlights micro buffer states, geopolitical anomalies and insurgent Rogue State behavior below 34% city morale.
Doctrine Architectures // Combat Styles
Eastern Doctrine
Source framing: bonuses centered on Gun Artillery, Rocket Artillery and Main Battle Tanks.
Western Doctrine
Source framing: reconnaissance and air-superiority focus, including strike fighters and AWACS.
European Doctrine
Source framing: versatile mechanized infantry and flexible support, with defensive APC emphasis.
Theater Chokepoints // Transit Locks & Victory Scale
Maritime Defensives & Required Victory Points
The supplied briefing identifies Gibraltar/Suez, Malacca and the Denmark gate as major naval transit chokepoints.
Mediterranean: Gibraltar and Suez connect Europe, Asia and Africa. Malacca: key Pacific–Indian Ocean shipping route. Denmark Gate: Baltic Sea bottleneck highlighted for coastal defense.
