How about a game involving battling ISIS! It's seems to me that many people, including many Muslims, would be very interested in a game like this. If you take away the so called "religious" element, I see many similarities between the Islamic state and Nazi Germany..actually I think they are far worse. I would greatly enjoy a well put together game where one could challenge such evil even if only in fantasy. Imagine the options for weapon systems and politcal/military alliances! And who knows, maybe this would do the world some good by further allerting people (both Muslim and Westerners) to this true evil.

I don't think that would be a good idea. Some governments don't recognise this group as an official entity and many people have views about the conflict that may cause them to be unhappy if the idea went forward.

Other modern era games (eg. Iraq Wars or Afghanistan) may be a good idea though.

Destruction of ISIS sounds more like a mod for a shooter game. Probably already one out there.
By the way BNC, any turn based games in the modern era would be a welcome change from WWII over and over.

I know, but most of my PzC mods now focus on times before 1500 AD.

My bad, should have said any era but WWII. Thank you and all the others with the talent and patience to create mods for us average folks.

Unfortunately I'm the only PzC modder that doesn't focus on WWII. But there are other games around that you can get - Rome seems to be well represented, same for WWI and fantasy games.

That's not stopping you from learning the skills to mod games and then making whatever you desire! It didn't take me too long to figure out how to make a basic mod, and then only the graphics pose any problem now. (I don't waste my time learning 3d when 2d works fine in the game!)

I may have to do that. I bought a Nintendo DS to play turn based Age of Empires, before tablet games exploded. And I keep waiting for someone to finish making a modern war mod. I guess WWII is eaiser, with historic battles to draw from.
