 * We begin to leave our bunkers. The first thing some groups do is try to find a radio tower.


 * Most of the major cities were destroyed when the bombs dropped. So far, the biggest cities are El Paso, San Antonio and Georgetown.


 * Begin trying to get electricity up and running in the cities


 * None if the shelter groups have connected with each other. They each have different ideas on how Texas should be run.

Groups:

El Paso Commune | Capital: El Paso

New Texan Republic | Capital: San Antonio

Order of the Lone Star | Capital: Corpus Christi | Ideology: Christian Theocracy

American Loyalists | Capital: Amarillo | Ideology: Democracy, restoring the US

Lone Star Empire | Capital: none | Ideology: Monarchism

All cities over 500,000 are nuked. That takes out El Paso with 682,000 and San Antonio with 1,532,000. Plus, large areas of land surrounding Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth are uninhabitable. I'd say Texas as a whole is just desert and wasteland. You’re forgetting that whoever nukes the US would try to target the biggest population centers instead of fucking up Texas only 1. Texas IS a big population center
 * The Lone Star Empire and the New Texan Republic are currently at war in San Antonio.

2. By the time the nukes were dropped there were probably more than enough nukes to go around to nuke every city with more than 500,000 people. I don’t think there are only ~4000 cities that have more than 500,000 people By 2030, there would be 1,416 cities with 500,000+ people. And probably many more nukes than that. There would be no reason for more nukes to be built. And, more cities elsewhere would have gotten some nukes too. America’s enemies have to save the nukes for America’s allies and not just take them out right? Here what I propose: The top 20 biggest cities in the United States and Europe get nuked. I would lose DFW, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. We already have the stuff all written out and mapped, just accept it. And what I mean is that as the wa continued towards nuclear war countries would make more nukes. It's simplest to just take out everything over 500,000. If it’s simpler to go with what’s written, then why not use Marty’s list of lost cities then? We will be using that. The problem with that is that it doesn't show cities outside of player nations with radiation.
