Prolog
Dear friends and coplayers, the game builds on the previous year and we bring you the continuation of El Protector 2025, again on the border of the USA and Mexico. This year will be crucial, each of you will be able to influence the future not only of your village or cartel, but of the whole Mexico with your vote and help to install one of the candidates from last year as "El Presidente". The election will be a jolly joker on the deck of all game opportunities, which can create many alliances between candidates and factions, unleash wild "verbal" skirmishes in a moderated public debate, or perhaps even change the influence of foreign countries in an otherwise beautiful Mexico.
Because the game is created by you, the players, who write the history of our Mexico, we have responded flexibly to the development of events of last year, and new game mechanics, new locations and regions, raw materials and many other possibilities are entering the game, opening up legal and illegal opportunities for everyone to flourish and track own game goals. The economy has shifted this year, and once again inflation has come into play, when banknotes from the previous year are still valid but have less value. Heroin and Cocaine is already such a Mexican classic, however, one of the new interesting profits are, for example, thirsty avocado plantations.
El Paso is no longer just an empty wasteland, it is now inhabited by migrant workers from the Mexican village of Ciudad de Asmar who have decided to get rich in the US. The city is full of gambling, petty traders, where you can get everything from better vehicles to exclusive drinks at the local bar. The whole event will culminate on Saturday with the elections in Ciudad Juarez, where the new president of Mexico will be elected!
A bit of script history...
Mexico, Ciudad Juarez, 2006
Situation in the region is chaotic, country has serious troubles with corruption, drug cartels, violence and powerty. Mexican government and president of the country declared war – new special detachments within the boundaries of Ciduad Juarez are organized, the Policia Federál and Policia Municipal. City is now under siege with heavy clashes between security forces and drug cartels every day to restore order, elimiate violence and improve well being of citizens.
This special approach is strongly supported by the US government and after vital negotiations between the two countries Mexico granted full operation mandate to DEA and CIA on mexican soil. Rumors are there are also US SOF covered by the mandate. US administration actively cooperated with mexican government to reach drug cartels with undercover agents so they were able to limit drugs smuggling (DEA) and weapons from States to Mexico (CIA). Also US Border Patrol was significantly reinforced both in jurisdiction and ranks. Support also grew in largest american state of Texas.
Despite all the efforts of security forces of both american states there was pike increase of violence resulting in decrease of local population quality of life which led to increase of sympathisers with then powerfull cartels.
Nevertheless, development and involvement of United States marked the onset of change in former order for next decade.
G.W.Bush, the Wartime president, is now in control of the US administration and since the ongoing War on Terror his possibilities of financing are unlimited..
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 2009
Three years of fighting between mexican security forces suppored by US personel brought bitter and bloody success. In June 2009 combined mexican and american forces managed to detain leaders of two biggest cartels. This long awaited and need victory is also celebrated by texan group called Texas Rednecks.
Detained Joaquin Guzman from Sinaloa and Miguel Tervíno from Los Zetas were court-marshalled and given death penalty. Both cartels suffered huge by security forces assaults and activities and lost immersive quantity of resources and their abillities were significantly reduced. It didnt take much time until new bosses were introduced and both cartels re-entered city and started new bloodshed.
War between Cartel de Sinaloa and Los Zetas were even more brutal. Clash of morally flexible Sinaloa and by ex-soldiers and desertes reinforced Los Zetas raised up new wave of violence so that mexican army and federal police had to step in and react again. During the Bloody Summer of 2011 more than 5000 cartels members, civilian, soldiers and police officers were killed in the city and around.
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 2012
Cartel Wars are not over, the Sinaloa cartel attacks Los Zetas, there are gunfights audible afterdark and even at daylight. Battle over control reached agricultural areas of Mexico and got intensified.
Clash between Sinaloa and Los Zetas has been taken as an opportunity by two other cartels – Gulf Cartél and Cartél de Tijuana. They didnt take part in cartel war but they used that opportunity to get a foothold and resources instead.
American administration didn´t intervene, they also let the cartels fight each other as well. There are even rumors that CIA withdrew and let the cartels access to weapons and stuff.
CIA and also DEA inaktivity raised questions and resistance within american frontier, in Texas the Texas Rednecks gained silent support by US Border Patrol so they could oversee the borders and time by time conclude hit and run operations on mexican soil to hunt cartels. Other rumor say american SOF are deployed.
On the border crossing Bridge of Americas and also on whole US/Mexico borders there is annual increase of confiscated drugs and weapons in tens of percents.
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 2015
After years situation is slightly stabilized. Juarez police started work more efficiently when their general has been arrested for smuggling attempt to US of 1 ton of kokaine in trunk of his american car.
Santa Maria de Jarineiro, Mexico, 2018
In 2018 there was a succesfull breakthrough in fight against drugs in the village of Santa Maria de Jarineiro. The pot was biggest cocaine industry in a country. Local mexican security forces are flexible regarding this place. Collection and production of continued a since its location inland the place is hard to find. Rednecks didnt like it but didnt intervene too, waiting for DEA´s even unofficial approval.
Texas Rednecks intensified their intrusions into Mexico aiming cartels. These intrusions are brutal and leaving more and more deads and less drugs behind so even powerfull cartels like Sinaloa and Los Zeats are forced to strike back.
And to this story we have decided to place new game from the legendary Protector event …
The year before new era of Protector event started. We left Afghanistan and relocated background to US/Mexico borders into El Paso / Ciudad Juárez location. With new scenario we brough also new setting, where we tried to bring new ideas and brand new system. There were good things and also bad things. Game area was new and fresh but also with some unexpected flaws, like single main road only.
To next year we have a lot of new experiences and wisdom, that are a lot of things we have to work on and that the game can be much better. So thank you you came with open mind.
Looking forward El Protector in 2026 and stay with us 😊.
