The Warsaw Pact (see The Cold War Campaign), is the Eastern European, real-world organization for the socialist Eastern Bloc, that is featured in one of the Conquer the World Campaigns, The Cold War Campaign.
Characteristics[]
- Diplomacy - The Warsaw Pact is a permanent client state of the Soviet Union, and the player, American or Soviet, cannot negotiate with them.
- Wonders - The Soviets cannot build a Wonder of the World in Warsaw Pact territory, as the Warsaw Pact is a Soviet client state and not actual Soviet territory. Only the Americans can build a Wonder in the Warsaw Pact territories, if they successfully invade and conquer them, or use a Treachery card to gain one of them.
- Reconstruction- The Soviet player must dedicate Tribute to rebuilding Eastern Europe, which lies desolate and bankrupt immediately after World War II. If this is not done, Finland, West Central Europe, and the Balkans will all defect to NATO unless held down by a Soviet army stationed there. Even if one is present, a successful revolt will force them out if the neglect continues. The Soviet AI, on the other hand, can safely ignore the Reconstruction requirement.
- Rebellion - Two uprisings will occur in Central Europe in the Modern Age, whether or not the Soviets make any effort to rebuild the WP territories. If the Americans go to war with the Soviets during the brief time each of these rebellions take place (before they are put down by Soviet forces), the rebels will aid them in battle if the Americans get to Central Europe.

Behind the Scenes[]
- They have the exact same abilities as the Germans due to the fact that they are a Tribes folder nation only. The Warsaw Pact file can be found in the "/conquest/ColdWar" folder.
- Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker both served as East Germany's head-of-state, but never held any role as head-of-state for the Warsaw Pact, which was a military alliance and thus had no political leader. Ulbricht was in office 25 July 1950 – 3 May 1971, and was succeeded by Honecker, who served 3 May 1971 – 18 October 1989.
- Known only in the West as the "Warsaw Pact," the Soviet bloc defensive pact was officially called the "Warsaw Treaty Organization of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance." The Soviet Union headed the organization for its entire existence.
- The map of the Warsaw Pact is, like the Cold War campaign map overall, greatly simplified. Finland became aligned with the USSR after abandoning its failing alliance with Nazi Germany in World War II, and bought and used Soviet military equipment, but never actually joined the Warsaw Pact. Yugoslavia, which is included in the Balkans territory, resisted Soviet efforts to get them to join the Pact but also bought and used Soviet equipment.
- Ironically, although the Communist Bloc's leadership held conquering NATO as a serious goal well into the 1980s, the Warsaw Pact cannot annex NATO territory into itself in the event of war with the West. If part or all of NATO falls to Soviet armies, its land in Europe becomes Soviet territory. Australia and Canada refuse to fall in line, however, and become American territories rather than submit to Soviet authority.
