About

The Cold War Era isn't over, it's just beginning

Military might, stealthy spies, blatant propaganda, and high-tech Space Race marvels are all at war game lovers' fingertips when they choose to play as the U.S.A. or the U.S.S.R. and rewrite history in The Cold War Era.

TCWE is a single player RTS strategy game based on the epic conflict between the Americans and the Soviets spanning the 1950s through the 1990s. Within one hour of gameplay players will course through four decades of contention, paranoia, secrecy, and the overarching the "us vs. them" mentality.

The Cold War Era reviews and comments

Great game, so I'll write a recipe. To meet Monday is not so gloomy-you can prepare yourself magnificent pancakes that brighten up your morning! All their charm is that together with them it is possible to finish as well as that jam that has been in your refrigerator for a couple of weeks, and any syrup or condensed milk. And so, get up from the table and go to the kitchen! Ingredients: Egg Chicken-2 pieces Salt-1 teaspoon Sugar-3 tablespoons Milk-2 cups Wheat flour-2 cups baking Soda-1 teaspoon Vegetable oil-¼ Cup Vinegar-1 teaspoon 1. First Whisk the eggs with sugar and salt until the appearance of foam in a bowl, which is so successfully caught in your hands. 2. Add a glass of milk, whisk well, gradually pour the flour and constantly smashing the trecloured lumps with a whisk. 3. Repeat the previous item, but now adding the remaining cups of milk and flour. 4. Pour in the vegetable oil (you can replace the melted butter). 5. Extinguish the soda (Add food vinegar 1 to 1), add it to the dough and stir well again. Leave to stand for 5 – 10 minutes, and during this time warm up the frying pan. 6. Now fry on moderate heat. As soon as the bubbles appear and begin to burst, turn the pancake and fry for another 20 seconds. Undoubtedly, in the beginning can be obtained shapeless monsters, suggestive of horror by its form, but everything will be formed with time.

Product received for free "Pops up like two submarines, Russian and American..." Just like the anecdotes of a bygone era, a little bit of a haze of Oblivion Risk! Comes alive in our computers. Instead of bright boxes we have rather harsh minimalist interface, in conditions of eternal confrontation there is no place for excesses. The Button should be pressed, it is pressed, and what is not very beautiful and not always obvious... No one promised that would be easy, comrade! If you are not a ball, you can always read the FAQ. What do you mean where? In the browser window of course! An Additional atmosphere (but already in a good sense) is pumped by an entourage of ideologically charged speakers in the background and a stream of news tapes from around the world, collected from the real events of those years. "What Do you mean * * * in the painted?!" in General the game goes this minimalism, if it was accompanied by interactive help and training, it was much easier to overcome the first barrier of denial "wuuhh, but here everything is in English and nothing is unclear" and go to a pretty Exciting game process. * By the way Yes, localization is absent, alas. What does it look like? Well how... Real-time Risk. Geographical Map of the world divided into its foreign and neutral "provinces". Instead of figures we have a budget and some instruments of influence on these provinces with the purpose of luring on our side in the name of all good, against, certainly, all bad. In the world there are constantly different events, catastrophes, wars, protests and all this can and should have a profit. Spies, Army, riots, orders, if you do not want so-develop space program (if you find the button of the tree of research;)) Results will be summed up. Fans of the genre and atmosphere of the Cold war will like it, the rest can be tasted, but better on sale. Read more quality reviews in the TOP Review group Subscribe to curators
