Welcome everyone, new and old players alike! This is Tundra civ, a civ thread series in a fictional, non-fantasy setting where you play as the rulers of the White Republic, a nation in a world similar to our own.

Previously on Tundra civ:
The Second World War has been waging for over 2 years now. The nations of the Occidental Axis are fighting a bloody war that has already taken the lives of over 8 million soldiers and civilians. The enemy - the mysterious Spirelords, posessing technology far beyond our own. Their robotic armies have been repelled from Aymsland, Ocras and Veita, but in Eyerdar they have gained much ground.
Last time we managed to capture the enemy's flying doomship for study. In retaliation, the enemy nuked the city of Babaduad and looted the contents of its Vault.
It is mid-1198 After the Exile, the war goes on.

We've got around a million men on each of the fronts at all times. They are periodically swapped out with forces in the rear, we have a total deployed manpower of 4 million troops in Eyerdar, our allies have about as much.
The enemy has us beat on a pound-for-pound measure in every way, but we still have a large numerical advantage at sea, where our navy has claimed several key victories during the war. The enemy's main naval power now lies in their super-advanced submarines, which they used to sneak past our defences and attack Babaduad.
On the ground and in the skies our forces hold a numerical advantage, but the enemy neither tires nor loses morale. The more ground they secure the more resources and manufacturing they gain, the more civilians they put to labor for them.
We have 5 nuclear warheads with a total explosive power of 200 kilotons, a large array of ballistic missiles and one operational doomship we are currently using for research.
Suggest war strategies for the present situation.
First set up some defenses for the rivers that head inland to stop those subs from getting into strike range of areas inland
Can the southern fleet provide assistance to the 1st army group or is that fleet near by a problem?
We have naval superiority at present and the kaichou fleet is also available to provide support, so yes.
Launch an offensive on Silverbird and have the northern fleet support this operation. We also need to have a permanent garrison of Maargard in Victory city seeing as it is the only remaining vault under our control. Say 2 divisions of Maargard totaling around 30,000 men.
The initiative is ours and we will be coordinating with our allies. We have naval superiority, the question is, what direction shall we take?
A.Focus on a southern offensive
B.Focus on a northern offensive
C.Have our allies hold the enemy in the center while we advance in the north and south
D.Coordinate a full-on offensive with our allies on all fronts
E.Stick to the defensive

Well, while we're waiting for other players...
I'm thinking of making a fantasy civ quest, probably on /qst/ in the future, after I finish the story here. While in the current game everyone's jointly making the same decision, I'm thinking of making the next game less unified, maybe have players represent factions within the civ and have each faction looking after its own interests - right now we have the benefit of hindisght, modern knowledge and such that allows us to make wise decisions, so it'd be interesting if players actually had goals of their own. Factions and player interactions would be more central and they would influence the civilization's development. For instance, an aristocratic faction(or several) that seeks to gain lands and privileges for themselves.
It would be a fantasy setting so we'd have various human and non-human cultures, technological progression, deities and magic.
What do you guys think about the idea?
