a futuristic dystopia in ten years

Have wasted last night and most of this morning reading this reddit thread:

I've been playing the same game of Civilization II for 10 years

...and it's essentially developed into 1984: The Game, with three superpowers perpetually at war. Most of the world is irradiated from constant nuclear strikes, and global warming is so severe that the polar ice caps melt away every century or so.

The OP posted the savefile and others eventually discovered a solution. A solution that involves allying with the American empire (a theocracy, heh) against the Neo-Vikings (HAH!), only to turn around and wipe them from the planet. We've always been at war with Eastasia America.

I've wasted hours reading this simulation saga. NO REGRETS.
