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.
Hello,
Im glad to see how much you enjoyed the France DLC!
Now its time for the October regular update.
[hr][/hr]This months update includes:
All action algorithms have been reworked.
[/*]Success odds displayed in actions tooltips have been fine-tuned.
[/*]2 new game modes to set the level of luck to your liking.
[/*]Long overdue events for Communist Great Britain and Portugal.
[/*]Spanish localization added.
[/*]
Ill go into detail about the most notable action balance changes and the new game modes. The rest are more straightforward and dont need much explanation.
[hr][/hr]Most Notable Action Changes
Economic Aid
The chances of triggering the Corruption trait via economic aid have been reduced.
[/*]
Coups
The algorithm has been changed: the USSR now has a lower penalty when attempting to coup Peoples Republics.
[/*]Military presence provides a greater bonus.
[/*]Couping France early in the game may now trigger a civil war.
[/*]
Organizing Protests
The success rate (loss of stability) is now higher.
[/*]
New Game Modes
Closed Casino\nAt last, youve uncovered why you keep losing despite being one of the greatest strategists of the century: the game is dicey!
In this mode, whenever randomness determines an actions outcome, you will always receive the average result.
[/*]The AI is not affected by this mode.
[/*]
Casino Royale\nYou dont lack skilljust luck.
In this mode, whenever randomness is used to determine an actions outcome, your results will always fall in the better half of the probability range.
[/*]If Closed Casino is also enabled, you will always get the best possible roll.
[/*]The AI is also affected by this mode.
[/*]
Whats Next?
Ill keep polishing the game, fixing issues, and rebalancing as needed.
I dont know yet what the November update will contain, but theres some big work in the pipeline:
Pax Americana (19892001 DLC)
The USA will flex its muscles and overextend its presence worldwide until reality reminds them they arent invincible.
[/*]The Russian player will face the chaotic transition of keeping together the collapsing pieces of its empire.
[/*]Of course, you can still choose to save the USSR and play it until 2001, but this path will be far less challenging.
[/*]
Portuguese Localization
The game already includes a DIY translation system, but Ill provide default machine-made translations for some languages until the community improves them.
[/*]Expect about 7/10 quality.
[/*]
Have fun!\n\nMaestro Cinetik
