Here it is. After working on and off (mainly off) for the last six or seven months, I present to you,

Global Conflict: The Video Game

phpBB [video]


It's based around the BF4:C4 campaign system but without the faff and palaver that is playing on a server. It takes you through the whole campaign sequence from the territory draft, placement of HQs and divisions all the way to the 70% WCP victory conditions. Along the way, you will be able to move divisions and make attacks against the AI or your friends (and even watch AI vs AI battles). The battles are simulated battlefield rounds using round statistics from BF4:C2 including ticket counts at victory (although the player does not see these) and the time the round took.

Play through past RISK based campaigns from BF3:C3 to the present, even including the BF4:C5 map. Older 40 territory maps have been updated to the more recent 50 territory system. Show how the losing army could have won, or how the winning army could have done it better! Old campaigns boring? Start a new campaign and play it out as a GC general and tactician.

Grab the installer from dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bt5sxz8y240tn ... r.msi?dl=0
You may need to download and install the MS 2013 redistributable to make it work. These can be downloaded from Microsoft: Link to Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 Page

Disclaimers
The software is presented as is. I can't guarantee that it won't brick your rig so download at your own discretion (it shouldn't but you never know). I've run it fine on two machines with no bad effects so there should hopefully be no problems. Runs on Windows 8.1 and 7, so will be fine on Windows 8 and probably Vista.

This isn't "authorised" by the senate and it just something that I wanted to see if I could do. I thought I'd share the results here with you lot. I don't plan on posting it anywhere else (GC exclusive, whoo!) and I am never going to charge for it. If, for what ever reason, the senate wants me to take it down/remove the download link/what ever, I'm happy to do that; after all, it's made for fun and not to upset people.

Looks great ! One thing I need to mention,though, is when a HQ has been captured,doesn't matter blue or red, it breaks the game and always crashes or there would be a problem with placing divisions on your bases. Keep up the good work :thumbup: !

You can't place the HQ the same week it's lost, if that's what you mean.
If it's not that, I'll have to have a look.

I'm saying that I have two HQs (for example Congo and Kazakhstan ). When it's the opposite army's turn and they capture whether HQ1 or HQ2, the game instantly freezes and crashes. It is really weird.

Okay, gotcha. I'll take a look.

Ah the joy of bug that don't appear in debug mode.

I think I managed to track it down. It should hopefully be fixed now.
Redownload and run the installer to update the game.
