Rise of Empires (Scenario)

The year is 2104. Humanity has spent the last three decades rebuilding their ruined planet after the Third World War left it nearly uninhabitable. The world, now lacking a stable source of oil, rushes to the Arctic. Africa and most of southern Asia have been successfully incorporated into new European empires, the Second Russian Empire having obtained most of the lands in southern Africa, eastern Africa and parts of China. The concept of a democratic nation has long become forgotten, with even the United States having become more of a military dictatorship-esque country.

Not everyone fights on behalf of a country, however. Bandit groups and piracy has skyrocketed, especially in the poverty-ridden southern Europe and albeit in rare circumstances, in Russian territory. The Lindisfarne Raiders, a group comprised of mostly English and Scandinavian ex-naval personnel are one of the few to be relatively organized.
