Domestic politics

Every crisis has a cause.

Nothing in Fracture happens on a timer. A country with nothing wrong, in a world with nothing happening, generates no events at all. Neglect builds pressure; problems feed each other; and when something breaks, what breaks is proportional to how bad you let it get.

Two to four options, real trade-offs, no correct answer. Ignore one long enough and events decide for you — and that counts against you too.

These are real crises the game handed governments in the campaign above.

Military

Real ranges. Real geography.

A 5-inch naval gun reaches 24 kilometres, so a destroyer has to close a coast to shell it. Research the next mark and the same hull throws a 155mm round 40 km; the cruiser's hypervelocity projectile reaches 185. Order an attack out of range and the ship sails in until it can fire — or tells you it can't reach.

Missiles fly real distances past real air defence. Shells come out of a depot you have to fill. Every weapon line is three generations and seven refits deep.

Drag the ship. Click a city to aim at it. The coastline is the game's own.
