Talk:Things Can Only Get Worse (Map Game)

There is no way that the Great Depression being worse would cause the borders of Europe to look like they do today. The whole idea of having the map look like the modern-day map is totally ASB. If you discarded it, then you might be able to salvage the game. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:52, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) The Soviet Union's economy was insulated from the Depression due to their lack of trade. They would not break apart due to other nations being worse hit.
 * 2) Russia's enclave of Kalingrad on the Baltic exists only today due to the the genocide of the Germans of East Prussia carried out by the Soviet Union in revenge for WW2. Without a WW2, and with the Soviet Union broken apart, such a thing would not happen.
 * 3) Poland could not take any territory from Germany without a World War and the Soviet Genocide of Germans. Also, with the Soviet Union broken apart, they would not have lost land to Lithuania and Belarus.
 * 4) Yugoslavia couldn't gain parts of Italy in the Northwest of the nation without a Second World War, especially if they are breaking apart, they wouldn't stand a chance against Italy alone.
 * 5) If Germany got beaten in the 1930s by Poland and Russia and Lithuania, Hitler would have been defeated.

This map game is still possible, but I would take Lurker's advice. (Though no Ukraine for me. : Stewdio333 (talk) 07:09, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

I've made the Soviet states "Russia clients/allies", meaning Stewdio does not have to switch nations. However, the Russia player would have some power over his nations, with relation to alliances, wars etc. 77topaz (talk) 07:54, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

If the game begins, and no one takes over as Russia (a.k.a. head Soviet player), may I play as Russia? Stewdio333 (talk) 09:02, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
