The indie studio Cinetik, known from its popular release Rise of the White Sun, is proud to announce that the Pax Americana DLC for the turn-based grand strategy title Maestro’s Cold War 2 is coming to Steam on March 19th. Experience two sides of the same conflict as you play either the United States, aiming to secure a global order, or the USSR, rewriting history to prevent the fall of the Soviet Union. This latest DLC introduces a new Hubris scale for the U.S., as well as interactive map events. In The War on Terror and The War on Drugs, players can investigate drug cartels and terrorist cells before they grow into catastrophic threats.
A New World After The Cold War
Maestro’s Cold War 2 let players relive the longest arms-race standoff in history. Now, following the highly positively reviewed base game, the PAX Americana DLC features four all-new scenarios. Experience new historically defining moments of the 1990s throughout the early 2000s, such as the Y2K Scare, the First Gulf War, and more.
Rewrite the 21st Century
Play to reshape the world however you’d like at the turn of the modern era. Earn more prestige points than your rival nation to name yourself the dominant global superpower. Each turn, spend your monthly budget wisely by taking actions in other nations on an interactive map. Offer military and economic aid to improve relations with other countries. Eventually, attempt to sign trade deals and or defence treaties to earn prestige points and further strengthen and consolidate your bloc.
Countries within your sphere of influence offer double prestige gains and losses, so be sure to keep them close. Perform subversions to divert attention or attempt to overthrow other nations led by rival governments. However, act strategically, as any perceived threat can raise your DEFCON meter and risk a nuclear showdown.
Multiple Playstyles and Achievements
Maestro’s Cold War 2 and Pax Americana offer a variety of ways to play. Jump into smaller, historically focused scenarios, or begin a massive 50-year grand campaign. Compete for global supremacy in online multiplayer. Grab a friend, choose your blocs, and see how your choices play out against one another on the global stage. The DLC also introduces new achievements up for grabs: attempt to carry the Republics into the 21st century, prevent the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and many more.
