Starting Scenario

March 2026 — Active Crisis

Iran toll channel operational, 150+ ship backlog, Coalition deployed. The current situation.

Default

Pre-War — Tensions Rising

No shots fired. Forces positioning. Diplomatic window still open. Lower starting escalation.

Day One — First Strikes

Strikes have begun. High starting escalation. Coalition in offensive posture. Fastest route to WW3.

Market Baseline

Historical — February 2026

Brent $76/bbl, S&P 5820, Nikkei 38400, Gold $2650. Pre-crisis baseline matching the scenario date.

Default

Today's Prices

Start from current market conditions. The simulation plays out as a projection: "What happens starting from today?"

Dungeon Master (Oracle Agent)

Enable Oracle DM

A third AI agent that acts as the world outside the strait. The Oracle reasons about merchant fleet psychology, injects wildcard events (allied naval deployments, Kurdish border attacks, hedge fund oil shorts, viral drone footage), and adjudicates creative agent actions. Produces richer, less predictable simulations.

Cost: One additional AI call per turn (~$0.001/turn, ~$0.04/game). The Oracle uses Claude Haiku for speed and cost efficiency.

AI Commanders

Iran — IRGC Navy

Coalition — CENTCOM

Duration

Turns (1 turn = 12 hours simulated)

40

40 turns = 20 simulated days. Shorter games favor Coalition. Longer games let Iran's coercion compound.
