I think it would be great for the factions, especially the Followers of Yeremac, to have a clear purpose. so here's a general overlay of how I think the factions purposes and end goals should be for each of them(feel free to add and collaborate ideas) New Novgorod Republic: A hearth of democracy and peace, they would want a strong, stable central government and a strong enough military to protect it's people and ideals. There would be few offensive campaigns for the Republic, only to pacify potential threats before they grow to powerful. The Trade Union: For those who lust for wealth and power there is The Union. A wealth based, most likely small state that's real power comes from it's ability to quell hostilities with it's affluence . Why fight bandits when you can pay them off, why fight a war when you can bankrupt within months with embargoes. And if it comes to fighting the Union can amass armies of ruthless mercenaries at the snap of it's Syndic's fingers. Trade Union wars are rarely over territory, they are to establish monopolies and open up reluctant ports and towns to trade. Followers/Cult of Yeremac: In the eyes of The Cult this hell their living in is the consequence of strong central control, without governments and their selfish interests there's no way the bombs would have been dropped. The Cultists are against any powerful government and are hell bent on wiping out the other three factions of Desolate Russia. War? The Cult is always at war, sweeping through cities and towns, radicalizing the populous, and sucking out all available resources before looking for their next target. The New Order: They want a strong authoritarian state, and they want it to be huge, likely beyond the confines of Desolate Russia, maybe even world-wide. The New Order's ideology is this, if there is one state in all the world, completely unopposed, there would be no violence, no hate, and no conflict. The New Order wars aggressively and aims to subjugate and conquer. Feel free to add your opinions and ideas about the factions and like so Diplex can see!
+Nicholas Kamer (Just a Gamer) It would be cool if the New Order would be in the midst of a power struggle and have infighting between the current leader and a general. The leader wants to be the ultimate leader but the general wants to placate him and he wants to be the leader
why do the cultist what to kill the kids? ya i know you what them to look like monsters. But it would make a lot more sense that the cultist take the kids and make them into new cultist (like child soldiers), it would show how they can keep there numbers so high even though they lose so many in battle.
+Andrew Reegs true but they still need more people to join and every time we seem they only kill anyone they see, and we never see them get new people. That's the only real way they can gain new cultists. If not then how the hell do they keep up the numbers? they seem to away's lose many of there numbers.
+MrCookie0510 Actually killing everyone they come across would make sense given how the cultist probably already have their own families to draw new recruits and bringing in any outsiders would only mean less food and other supplies to go around for everyone else.
+Nathan Zay again true, but the thing is that they keep on losing some many people on the battles (there were like 50 cultists and all of them are dead) and keep in mind that they never run away from battle, so they would lose even more people. If they take the kids then they can some how keep the numbers the around the same. Also seen that the life of a cultist would most likely be short. Next we only say one base and there were no woman (unless there some of the cultist are girls under the mask) and we also see no kids.
Diplex here is a scenario I wish to see in this: A defence of a trade Union supply depot? As that is the life blood of the trade Union. Or you could do it as an airport or a main highway because the Trade Union is an amazing idea and their supply things would be their most important assets to them. This is a my theory on how the Trade Union came to be, because each faction needs a backstory of some type so from the scattered documents I have scavenged this is how I believe the Trade Union came to be. The Trade Union is the remnants of the big 4 corporations of Russia: Gazprom, Sberbank, Novolipetsk Steel and finally Kalashnikov. Each of these companies brought something to the table whether it was oil, money, steel or weapons each one needed each other to survive the wasteland. Their main city located at Kstovo South East of Novogrod as the oil refinery of the region are located there. The early history of the Trade Union are unclear, but we know one thing for sure the oil refinery continued to operate and produce petrol. The 6 months later the first skirmish of the wasteland happened between a convoy of 20 men with 5 oil trucks against 60 what we now call the "The New Order" they beat the trade Union and stole that shipment of petrol. This was the first action against the Trade Union, we learnt from that we were not the only one...... Journal 1:1:1 The beginning of Trade This is the First Document, more are too follow.
I think you should add something like migrating tribes, for example some chinese wastelanders that migranted west, and some germans and poles too, maybe even some fins and sweds. They could be like good people that joins the Republic, the TU and the New Order (if They accept foreigners) or just be on their own being nomads or founding cities/towns. Sorry for bad english. Great video, as always. Love the series.
I hope to see more narrative on specific characters and locations (maybe we could return to this town?) Also. Don't keep the units in big squads so much. The cultists probably lost because they were all moving at will as big blobs of 10.
this is awesome. i love how small each faction is and how they're split into just groups of a few dozen at most and often just parties of 2-5. and how they aren't all skilled and disciplined troops with assault rifles and stuff.
Love how the cultists do nothing but lose in this series, yet they still make boneheaded overly aggressive moves. Really showcases their psychoticness.
I want to eventually see if something comes out from those "unknown soldiers" and if they were a scout force for the return of what remains of the Russian government. Is that a prelude for what is to come?
Yeah Kinda Like the Enclave From the fallout 2 and 3 but like a Russian Version. Maybe The Fall Of the old government gave Rise to a new U.S.S.R and then we now have a communist Faction?
+Brick Battle and I don't say this because I'm communist but it would be pretty cool to have like a prewar government that comes back in a new form. Kind a like the most powerful of the Russian society retreated to secret bunkers along with a sizable military force , Also with the most brilliant minds of their time before the nuclear bombs fell, and during the year after the nuclear war they have been biding their time creating you technology and now they are resurfacing to reunite Russia under a single flag and possibly that flag is a communist flag I think it would be pretty cool to have the re-rise of communism in "old Russia". In a sense where it happens once it will happen again. Idk just pitching this idea to Diplex if he's read this comment.
+Demon Hunter I'm calling it. It's the Scout Force of the Swiss or it's the Russian Government. (The Swiss would've been fine, They're easily the strongest nation left on Earth now. 1 Million Men Mobilized in 3 Days can be very useful after an Apocalypse all around you.
I know, you like to make your own episodes with your own plots, but I have an idea for a episode, if you take viewer requests. The Trade Union is heading through a New Order controlled area, using a run down bridge, which can collapse at any moment. So, a few New Order scouts spot the small convoy of 1 fuel truck, 2 jeeps, and 1 truck with explosive ammunition. The scouts head back to tell the nearby FOB run by the New Order, and they plot an attack to take the explosive ammunition since they're rare to ever spot in the wasteland. The Trade Union have a fair amount of men, 12 of them, and they are stopped due to them being stuck by a roadblock on the bridge. They wait it out, and soon a sniper spots at least 20 New Order men, who are armed with regular AK's and some with heavy caliber LMGs. They then get into a firefight with the trade union, and a stray bullet hit the fuel truck, causing it to go off into a large blaze, taking the explosive ammunition truck with it, starting a conflict in the area with the Trade Union, leaving room for a forward attack by the Trade Union on the FOB.
if this is ww3 then there would probably be nucular fallout due to nucular weapons thus leaving tons of radiation. so would there be zombies or mutants around or did the radiation kill everyone instead of mutating people?
absolutely brilliant video. It would be awsome if the first order,trade union and the novegrad republic all formed a temporary alliance to fight the rising power of the cultists for a later episode. Also maybe do video on the now resurfacing Russian government and military meeting the four factions and perhaps forming alliances or waging war with some of them.
Diplex, I feel that you need to let the event be a bit more dynamic. The first episode is a great example of it being dynamic when the patrol was sent out by the AI causing a 4 way fight. For a series of this nature it should all link together with reasons for each event. A raid by the cult should have been on the new order due to the slaughter that happened in episode 1. I don't want to criticise the series, I just want to try to improve it.
Novgorod Republic reminds me a lot of the New California Republic from Fallout. The New Order reminds me of the Brotherhood of Steel/Enclave. The Cultists are Caesar's Legion. The Trade Union are like the Gun Runners or Mr. House depending on your point of view.
It would be very nice to see this expand into a big ongoing series, perhaps larger than the Cold War mod series. Also, can you please consider uploading these refurbished maps to the steam workshop? I do like the way you have made maps turn into wasteland locations and it would be fun to make battles of my own on them.
If the trade union and Novgrod Republic are allies/trade partners. "They don't fight" but in the first episode. The Novgrod Republic killed some of the Trade Unions soldiers?
I didn't get the appeal when I first watch the first one (night in the wasteland) but now I'm invested in this series, makes me want to boot up Garry's mod to make my own battles similar to this
Start of wasteland videos 'We did some stuff with *faction name*, IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE WW3, people will shoot first ask questions later,' then the fighting starts.
The lone bandit should be back in an abandoned big city (like in wastelander stories episode) as a sniper and picking off scavengers, soldiers, cultist and mercs. Or have him return during a battle to finish off the survivors from the battle.
maybe you should add a swiss expeditionary force since the swiss are neutral and possibly survived, the sami people beacuse why not, some more siberian folk which migrated west, maybe even the mongols or the samoyed tribes
And now this outpost has a lot of guns, vehicles and, i think reinforcements are on their way. And this outpost will grow to nice town, with brave people in it. That's how it works. P.S. If you can,plz continue history on this map. Of course after all following maps.
A sign on a wall says this: "Caution! Wild territory farther!", so it would make more sense if this sign was on the other side of the wall))) (this sign from the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl")
I'm feeling like creating a wiki for this series. Put a little history and roleplay into this wiki
+JJ Bell Ramos You should do that man, that would be cool.
+JJ Bell Ramos i was thinking the same thing, but a name would help alot
Did you made it

The sign says "be careful wild territory further " .
+Invisigaming Hm.....if only it was on the inside of the town's walls
+Invisigaming practically like saying "if you're reading this then you are already dead"
It would have been better for a brothel .

Journal 1:1:1 The beginning of Trade
This is the First Document, more are too follow.

Also. Don't keep the units in big squads so much. The cultists probably lost because they were all moving at will as big blobs of 10.
I'm pretty sure there's some command to "disband squad" which should help the AI spread itself out.
Yes it is a control, I forget what tho
I think this has become my new favourite series on UA-cam.
I love this series is can't explain how interesting this is to me!Nice work!
Im coming back when its not 360p
It's good now.
this is awesome. i love how small each faction is and how they're split into just groups of a few dozen at most and often just parties of 2-5. and how they aren't all skilled and disciplined troops with assault rifles and stuff.
The mayor looks like he is about to drop a whip so strong it could whip out all of novgrad.
Loving the series! Keep it coming
Call it Fallout New Russia
No no, i would call it shut the fuck up
+messykiller007 No fuck you
fuck!
Novgorod Republic = Russian NCR
+Tet Inguito exactly, followers of yrmac = caesers legion
Call it "Stories from the Wasteland" Diplex
Stories of the wasteland
+Toxic gamer sounds neat doesn't it?
Their the same which one better
+Toxic gamer dunno 50-50 on both. Nevertheless it's up to Diplex
+Toxic gamer maybe wasteland stories
Nice work dude! , im trying to find out how the mowas2 editor work so one day i maybe can be able to do that cool stuff :D (sorry for the bad english)
This is the best series you've done! Im pretty curious on what you will come up with next
Love how the cultists do nothing but lose in this series, yet they still make boneheaded overly aggressive moves. Really showcases their psychoticness.

+Hunter killer121 How about 20 Trade Union men and 30 New Order men because then the battle will last longer.
Diplex going at 6:29 like the russian dude from Call of Duty: Finest Hour in Stalingrad
I just love this series.
The moral of the Republic was to great for the psychopaths. This win will be remembered same with the men who have fallen
i am loving this series man keep it up!!
This series is AWESOME
CMON BOYZ FOR THE BIG GREEN! WAAAAGGH
Kiwl dem humies!!
I enjoy the war hammer reference.
Kate Likes Bands Im glad :)
this is my favorite series u have
this is amazing! cant wait for more!
if this is ww3 then there would probably be nucular fallout due to nucular weapons thus leaving tons of radiation. so would there be zombies or mutants around or did the radiation kill everyone instead of mutating people?

Also maybe do video on the now resurfacing Russian government and military meeting the four factions and perhaps forming alliances or waging war with some of them.
also I think a decent name would be "The will of the dark mother" or "The lost utopia".
+Double Trouble who da fuck joins the cultists anyway
that was really cool would like to see a epic conclusion at the end but still want many more battles before that.
Diplex, there maps are really well made, is there any way that we can download them?
Diplex do you make the maps and distribute the units, or do you just provide commentary and occassional control?
this man said "that's not the cult way" haha😂😂
Urban Combat, The New Novgorod Republic's Speciality
epic battle, glad the Cultists lost their lifes
where you find these skins?

those armed civillians protected the guards!
I love these kinda wasteland videos also diplex are u recording this stuff everyday if u are u da best!!! :::)))
you really should turn it into a book, it would be awesome and amazing!
Hi just wanted to say that this new series your doing is awesome
Novgorod Republic reminds me a lot of the New California Republic from Fallout. The New Order reminds me of the Brotherhood of Steel/Enclave. The Cultists are Caesar's Legion. The Trade Union are like the Gun Runners or Mr. House depending on your point of view.
+Lone Wanderer Cultists are more like the Raiders or Jackal gangs, Hoped up on drugs and such that want to kill and loot everything in sight.
Drake Johnson
Yeah but unlike them the cultists do have an established leader.
+Lone Wanderer New Order is also comparable to the Reich in Metro 2033, though Metro's Hansa is turned into the Trade Union.
That assault went really fast, in my opinion
Diplex, if u ever make a game/ movie, please let this be the setting! i love it so much
It would be very nice to see this expand into a big ongoing series, perhaps larger than the Cold War mod series. Also, can you please consider uploading these refurbished maps to the steam workshop? I do like the way you have made maps turn into wasteland locations and it would be fun to make battles of my own on them.
THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC RISES!!!!!!!
If the trade union and Novgrod Republic are allies/trade partners. "They don't fight" but in the first episode. The Novgrod Republic killed some of the Trade Unions soldiers?
+Verqude ! thay did not know who thay were
perhaps they made peace off camera via god duplex ordering them to.
+trickywarfare kyle diplex*
Autocorrect makes it duplex
+William Tucker autocorrect sucks
Do you make the whole map or get a map and add props?
I
There is only one way forward, one way to ensure humanities survival, the right way, the only way, The Order!
Yeah!!!!! The new Novgorod Republic all the way!!
Long live the republic! Ura!
URA!
I love URAING!
i really like this series so just to be sure is the last episode the first episode of this series
+diplexheated I think it should be called "After The Flash" The flash being the bombs that were dropped
It would be cool to see the Republic with an army
love this next get the republic attacking the coltist but a huge city
I didn't get the appeal when I first watch the first one (night in the wasteland) but now I'm invested in this series, makes me want to boot up Garry's mod to make my own battles similar to this
vary cool. really loving this. we should write a book, tales from the wasteland. I can smell the money already.
also the No and the NR are natural enemies and the FY and the TU are also natural enemies but the FY seem to be the bigger threat.
Start of wasteland videos 'We did some stuff with *faction name*, IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE WW3, people will shoot first ask questions later,' then the fighting starts.
The lone bandit should be back in an abandoned big city (like in wastelander stories episode) as a sniper and picking off scavengers, soldiers, cultist and mercs. Or have him return during a battle to finish off the survivors from the battle.
Dunno if someone already written it, but the sing says "Beware! Wild territory ahead!"
I'm starting to lean to the navgard republic (sorry if I didn't spell that right) because they help others
Great vid Diplex!
Wellp I am now hyped too much. Time to go download Red Rising and port the skins to AS1.
War. War never changes.
Btw awsome vid love this series
maybe you should put the cult members in the no retreat option, so they act like some sort of crazy berserker psycs :D
cultists say: CHEEKI BREEKI!!!!!
Long live the Republic!!!
I saw one guy at a fence corner mowing down about half of your force. Then he dies right before victory.
Reminds me somewhat of stalker, that's a good thing
Name of series ''story's from the end times''
+Jack Butler Hate to be that guy but... Stories*
It should be called tales of new Russia
On the desk 4:26 writen "Caution, wild teritorry ahead", so you made a little mistake puting it there :D
Diplex: I won't be controlling the battle alot.... Then goes on to control almost the whole battle.. -_-
I like these wasteland battles please do more
Would love to see Battle of The Alamo DiplexHeated style.
seanandjay29 Smh...
emotionally rekt
maybe you should add a swiss expeditionary force since the swiss are neutral and possibly survived, the sami people beacuse why not, some more siberian folk which migrated west, maybe even the mongols or the samoyed tribes
keep up the good vids
Diplex are these community maps?
Should call it stalker lol loving it so far cool idea
The republic has learned repulsion technology
And now this outpost has a lot of guns, vehicles and, i think reinforcements are on their way. And this outpost will grow to nice town, with brave people in it. That's how it works. P.S. If you can,plz continue history on this map. Of course after all following maps.
Name idea; Aftermath: Novgorod. Opens the door for follow-ups too.
A sign on a wall says this: "Caution! Wild territory farther!", so it would make more sense if this sign was on the other side of the wall))) (this sign from the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl")
AH NUU CHEEKI BREEKI BANDITS!
Yea keep doing this and some other parts of this game so more of this part of these videos bandits,New orders,Scavenger everything
Oh and put more NCP's or AI's if that's what there called
how do you get these pre made battles?
Love this vanilla Map
U should have two of the factions have a little battle and then have a platoon or so of those unknown soldier guys come in.
What would be awesome is if you combine this and the totaler krieg mod.
YAY!
Happy new year
Two things
1. Is this a mod for Men of war assault squad 2 or call to arms
2. Can you provide a link to the mod in the description
this is really good
where do you get the latest version of red rising
