WWX: Global Supremacy

A geopolitical strategy simulation where three powers shape a fictional world through interdependent political choices.

Category: Games & Simulations
Platform: iPhone + iPad · iOS 17+
Status: Active development

Shape a world order without managing armies.

Countries behave as political actors rather than territory tiles. Timed initiatives change allegiance, capacity, narrative, security, and the dependencies between them through a deterministic, explainable simulation.

User value

World-scale strategy in compact decisions.

Read the system, find leverage, act, and understand the consequences.

Think strategically

Choose high-level initiatives without tactical unit control or administrative micromanagement.

Use more than force

Relationships, investment, evidence, public narrative, resilience, and dependency all shape position.

See why the world changed

Typed records, alerts, forecasts, and derived measurements keep consequences inspectable.

Features

The current reduced campaign.

A working strategic spine, not yet the complete game.

01
Three playable powers
Lead Atlas, Aegis, or Meridian through the same deterministic six-subject world.
02
Five strategic initiatives
Verify information, build partnerships, invest, release evidence, and protect infrastructure.
03
Costs and prerequisites
Review resources, commitment, duration, timing, legal targets, and expected effects before acting.
04
Campaign time and rivals
Advance six-hour ticks, resolve scheduled work, renew daily resources, and observe bounded rival turns.
05
Four supremacy pillars
Derive Allegiance, Capacity, Narrative, Security, and a combined index from strategic records.
06
Local save and replay
Recover, migrate, reproduce, and branch campaigns from versioned local state and command journals.

How it works

One complete decision loop.

Every action moves through the same authoritative campaign machinery.

01
Choose a power
Enter the reduced world as Atlas, Aegis, or Meridian.
02
Inspect a subject
Review its current records, initiatives, pillars, routes, and legal actions.
03
Forecast an initiative
See cost, duration, commitment, expected resolution, pillar effect, and escalation effect.
04
Commit
Submit the choice against the current authoritative state revision.
05
Advance time
Resolve scheduled work, daily renewal, escalation, and bounded rival opportunities.
06
Read the new position
Use alerts, records, pillars, resources, and route assessments to choose again.

Product concept

Countries are actors, not tiles.

Political depth comes from a few understandable systems that change one another.

Three-sided contest

Atlas, Aegis, and Meridian complicate a world that would otherwise collapse into two fixed camps.

Interdependent power

Allegiance, Capacity, Narrative, and Security come from relationships and actions, not one ownership flag.

No shortcut endings

A route remains incomplete when the underlying systems needed to support it do not yet exist.

Architecture

One authoritative, deterministic core.

The SwiftUI client and headless simulator use the same campaign rules and state transitions.

01Read-only campaign projection
02Action Composer forecast
03Versioned player command
04Transactional core validation
05Deterministic timeline and rivals
06Typed strategic records
07Derived measurements and local replay

Reproducible outcomes

Stable identifiers, explicit ordering, fixed-point rules, and keyed draws reproduce the same campaign from the same inputs.

Views never become a second engine

The client submits commands and renders immutable projections instead of mutating authoritative state directly.

Validated local content

Versioned JSON packages contain bounded declarative campaign data, not arbitrary scripts.

Technology

Built for reproducible campaigns.

Development

A strategic spine is playable.

The reduced campaign supports power selection, strategic initiatives, time, rivals, progression, derived supremacy, local persistence, and replay. It does not yet support a complete ending.

Stage: Active development
Current scope: Phase 2 reduced campaign
World subjects: 6
Campaign ending: Not implemented

Implemented

Adaptive native SwiftUI shell for iPhone and iPad
Transactional commands, canonical state hashing, deterministic scheduling, and bounded rivals
Influence, Intelligence, Command, Strategic Commitment, and Global Escalation
Five timed initiatives with prerequisites, costs, records, alerts, and derived pillar effects
Versioned local saves, recovery, migration, command journals, and deterministic replay
Validated local content, headless simulation, and automated core, client, device, and accessibility-semantic evidence

Next campaign work

Implement the smallest coherent set of confrontation, recovery, route, and terminal systems that can make strategic progress contestable and eventually produce credible victory or defeat.
