First Update - The Workshop is now opened

Two weeks after the EA start, I am satisfied to see that the game is already quite robust and that the bug reports have not been that many. Here is what you will find in this first update:

The workshop is now open


Ok, it is not yet the editor, nor advanced modding tools, but you can now share your save file experiments, and your game's text translations. That's enough to have a lot of fun for the moment. The first items await you in the workshop.

Two new game modes


*Chessboard world: will cancel all treaties, military presence, and spheres of influence. If you like it, this mode may make it into the multiplayer options. *Even budget: All players will have the same monthly budget as the USA. Of course, if you play as China in the 1950s, this can be considered obviously as cheating. I added this game mode with the possibility of making it a multiplayer mode in mind.

Chinese localisation complete or almost complete


Of course, if you are not Chinese, you may not care, but many more texts are now in Chinese. Please report any texts that may still appear in English so I can correct them in the next update.

AI reworked


A small bug made the AI too focused on alignment actions. It has been fixed, and as a result, the AI should now be more challenging.

UI/UX improvements


You asked for it, and you can now: - Play in windowed mode. - Change music and SFX volume with a simple slider. - Know when the scenario will end by hovering over the date. - The music should loop normally now: let me know if it doesn't.

Multiplayer


Well, not enough feedback to improve it yet, but I fixed the issue of "Harsh Winter" having a double effect during the Korean War.

The East is Red - China DLC


I fixed the issue where the AI kept interacting with Taiwan after the unification. I also fixed the strange end-game score counting behavior. Minor issues, mostly typos, have been fixed along the way. Thank you to all the players who kindly and with great patience reported bugs and issues. Have a nice day! Maestro Cinetik

In a world dominated by antagonistic ideologies, supported by vast nuclear arsenals, a direct confrontation would mean the end of civilization as we know it.

In Maestro Cinetik's Cold War 2, you play as either the USA or the USSR, turning the globe into your strategic playground.

Use diplomacy, threats, and covert actions to ensure your ideology prevails!

This game isn't entirely new—it's the PC adaptation of a browser game, originally designed to be played discreetly at work or school.

Needless to say it saved countless people from boredom.

And thanks to web analytics, we know just how impactful it was: Cold War 2 delighted over 100,000 unique players over the years.

Some even regard it as their favorite strategy game of all time!

If you're familiar with my work, you know I focus on crafting games you can enjoy in a single evening, yet with enough depth to offer endless replayability.

I’m confident the game's simple mechanics paired with historical events that force you to make impactful choices, will provide over 100 hours of entertainment.

Now:

Have fun! (this is an order, not a wish!)                                                                                                                       -Maestro Cinetik

What’s New Compared to the Browser Version?

This version isn’t just polished—it includes a multiplayer mode!

You'll also enjoy a host of customization options, ensuring no one plays this game "vanilla".

Whether you prefer a relaxing map-painting experience or a high-stakes simulation teetering on the brink of nuclear annihilation,  that game has you covered.

How Does the Game Work?

The goal is to earn more prestige points than your opponent.

Prestige is gained by improving relations and signing treaties with countries around the world. Meanwhile, your opponent will work tirelessly to undermine the nations in your bloc and shift the balance of power in their favor.

Are you ready to lead your ideology to global dominance—or will history repeat itself?

Why is the game called Maestro’s Cold War 2 and not just Cold War 2, like the browser version?

It’s simple:

  • Maestro’s inflated ego demanded it.

  • "Cold War" is such a common name that it was already taken.
