Guardians of Islam

Following the nuclear disaster that decimated Syria at the end of the first Syrian-Israeli war, a pan-Islamic humanitarian organization was formed to provide aid to the survivors. Following its successes in Syria, this organization was soon renamed the Guardians of Islam and became a progressive force for improvement across the region. Though religiously motivated, the movement is secularly led by popularly elected intellectual elites, and has been active in promoting support for education, construction of new infrastructure and more. One of its most notable projects was the construction of transmitter towers to provide free high-speed wireless internet, which helped to turn the region into a digital powerhouse. One of the biggest questions it faces during the current election cycle is whether to adopt control of a combined military force, much like the United Nations, in the event of another crisis. Many insist that the Guardians must remain a peaceful organization, but others see it as an unparalleled opportunity to become a major world power and to free the Islamic world from Western meddling once and for all.

The GOI's gameplay focuses on economy, death and technology. Players are able to exert great control over their economy due to the GOI's abilities to; export oil, speed up production and hack enemy units. For many GOI units, death is not to be feared. Death can mean damage buffs to to nearby troops or the dropping of IEDs while demolition units seek to inflict damage by directly sacrificing themselves. Technology is the final cornerstone of the GOI arsenal. The GOI isn't a cave dwelling terrorist organization, but rather a rising world power and has made great strides in technological investments such as their bleeding edge MiGs and their computer viruses.
