Steam Game Description:
ICBM: Escalation is a grand RTS game that plunges players into the high-stakes world of global warfare, where every decision could tip the balance between survival and annihilation. Command vast armies, develop cutting-edge technology, and wield the most devastating weapons ever created to ensure your faction’s supremacy. Whether by conventional forces or through nuclear firepower, you’ll need to conquer or obliterate your enemies to secure dominance in a volatile global arena.
Take charge of a continent-spanning faction and build up an unstoppable military force. Construct a nuclear stockpile, research groundbreaking tech, and deploy a combination of nuclear submarines, strategic bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles to cripple your adversaries. But nuclear warfare is not the only path to victory. ICBM: Escalation introduces new victory conditions that emphasize conventional warfare, allowing players to invade enemy territory, weaken their resources, and force their surrender through tactical superiority. The two new modes, Standoff and Conquest, add fresh layers of strategy and pacing compared to the high-speed Blitz Mode, which returns as the most similar mode to the original ICBM.
Progress through multiple technological eras, from early Cold War advancements to near-future innovations, including stealth warships and space-based weapon systems. The revamped diplomacy system adds new layers of intrigue, allowing players to form research agreements, negotiate ceasefires, and broker deals over captured territories. World-spanning diplomatic measures, such as international treaties banning specific weapons, offer fresh strategic possibilities that can reshape the course of global conflict.
ICBM: Escalation offers a variety of modes that cater to different playstyles. Standoff mode delivers a balanced escalation from conventional skirmishes to full-scale nuclear war, while Conquest mode emphasizes long-term strategy, brinkmanship, and tactical mastery. For players seeking faster-paced action, Blitz Mode focuses on direct, rapid nuclear confrontation, staying true to the spirit of its predecessor. The game also features a rich single-player campaign that spans decades of history, beginning with the Korean War and leading into speculative future scenarios where your decisions shape the outcome of global conflict. In multiplayer, face off against up to 10 players, competing for dominance in a highly competitive environment with rankings and ELO systems.
I played this mission as an actual proxy war. You start neutral with China and Russia and will have quite a while until they themselves decide to engage your forces. So I just focused on attacking their proxies while giving my ally armies, airports and coastal batteries so that they will engage China/Russia in my stead. It probably is less production/time efficient, but on the other hand I did not have to mind enemy submarines attack my sea assets. Props to you for going the hardest way and attacking both majors from the start.
Also fun "quirk" of this mission: when one of the big countries quits African conflict, it's completely removed from the map, but its cities are still there. So you can grab them for additional production without incurring nuclear retaliation. Too bad the next mission is the last one and most of the research is already done anyway.
Well of course I took the hardest path...why would I ever consider the easier path lol that actually sounds like a fun way to play it, I'll have to try it sometime.
Oh, so you can just "gift" your Allies units? That makes sense.
how the vietnam mission and condor mission should have played out, proxy war
This mission took me quite a bit of time to do, so I've broken it up into two parts to keep the episodes shorter! Part two will be released on 12/26. Hope you enjoy!
I love how by 2036 in this alternate timeline humanity could’ve went to space and just mined the “rare earth metals” on different planets but why do that when they could just go to war over some lithium 😂
