comment |
The last thing Snake remembers is a monster storm battering Mother Base, the offshore headquarters for his mercenary company. Afterward, he and a small number of allies find themselves washed upon the shore of a brave new world, with nothing but the simplest of weapons to defend themselves with. As they try to dig themselves out of the Stone Age, Snake discovers that his neighbors are some of history's most notorious warlords and conquerors, most of whom have some sort of weird superpower. Can Big Boss and his Army Without a Nation build a civilization to stand the test of time, or is the Legendary Mercenary doomed to an eternity of war?Civilization V: Peace Walker is a Let's Play by Speedball of the Something Awful forums, several games of Civilization V using the Militaires Sans Frontiers faction mod. While the accompanying story is initially simple, things are much more complicated than they appear, and several big Reveals turn the plot on its head, so it's recommended to read the whole thing before browsing the tropes below. |

Poor Communication Kills: How MSF ends up declaring war on Japan. Nobunaga spots Snake's army nearby, and when Snake tries to explain it's for deterrence...note Of course, this is mainly because Nobunaga is a paranoid Mood-Swinger, and once he calms down he immediately meekly offers peace and a trade deal as an apology. |

comment |
Incan leader Pachacuti compares finding new neighbors to "discovering strange new insects wriggling beneath overturned rocks," but Snake barely reacts since he's busy preparing for another war. But getting his teeth kicked in by Nebuchadnezzar serves as a Break the Haughty moment, and so Pachacuti is much more humble when he interacts with Snake later. |

Easy Communication: About the only good news Kaz has at the start of the story is that the MSF has plenty of radios and batteries, so long-distance communication won't be a problem. When he confronts Snake, Nebuchadnezzar points out how odd it is that a selection of leaders from all over the world and all of history are able to perfectly understand each other, as evidence that none of what is happening is real. |

comment |
Smug Snake: Alexander the Great instantly gets on Snake's bad side by bragging about his conquests and insulting Snake's age when they first meet, quickly earning the Greek the sort of loathing most Civ V players have for him. Incan leader Pachacuti compares finding new neighbors to "discovering strange new insects wriggling beneath overturned rocks," but Snake barely reacts since he's busy preparing for another war. But getting his teeth kicked in by Nebuchadnezzar serves as a Break the Haughty moment, and so Pachacuti is much more humble when he interacts with Snake later. |

Enemy Mine: Snake teams up with Napoleon to take down Genghis Khan when Snake learns that Genghis has Dr. Strangelove, though the plan falls apart when Napoleon accelerates his invasion so he can claim Strangelove himself. Then when Snake is at war with Shaka, Napoleon sends his own army over to "help," turning the conflict into a race to see who can capture the most Zulu territory. |

Heroic Sacrifice: When Napoleon in his nanomachine swarm form takes over Snake's Metal Gear and modern military, Snake steals the mech back and detonates its nuke to fry the cyber-dictator with an EMP burst. He doesn't have time to evacuate his soldiers first, but they understand. Of course, for Snake the death is temporary, but his soldiers may have died permanently, depending on how you view the second round, though considering the whole thing is a computer simulation involving many artificial personalities, "death" is likely not permanent for anyone in it. |

Private Military Contractors: The MSF civilization's core game mechanic is that they earn money and approval from city-states when guarding their borders, with the trade-off that insurgents will periodically spawn and cause trouble. After researching the right technology and picking the proper civic, the MSF ends up hiring some German Landsknechts to help fill out their forces. When things are at their worst during the second round, a gunrunner named Drebin shows up to provide MSF with a state-of-the-art combat unit. Ocelot's "Outer Heaven" faction consists of PMC bases constructed by PMC Incorporators earned from combat instead of Great Generals. |

In the same speech he also gives one to himself, and by extension his historical self in absentina over keeping a nuke at Mother Base, wondering to himself if he was such a Blood Knight that he really just wanted an excuse to fight the whole world, and after conquering the world twice over, he's realized how pointless and trivial it is. |

God-Emperor: Some of Snake's soldiers start leaving offerings around his room and treating him with religious awe, representing the "God-King" pantheon trait. When the pantheon evolves into the "Warrior Pride" religion and Snake objects to being worshiped, its priest clarifies that they consider Snake a "god among men." |

"Not So Different" Remark |
| | Civilization V: Peace Walker (Fanfic) / int_984ef9ef |
comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Multiple warlords tell Snake that he is no better than them. As he later admits, they are not exactly wrong. Snake is able to empathize with Nobunaga, since both lost their mentors to misplaced loyalty, and are fighting to build a new and better world. When Vlad III is ranting about how "I do not wield a spear. I am a spear!", Snake flashes back to his "I was made to fight. I am a gun" speech. Snake even refers to fighting him as having fought himself (or rather, who he'd become if he didn't stop) after defeating him. |

Foreshadowing: Ashurbanipal claims to know the truth behind the world Snake finds himself in, and offers hints after being defeated. Huey realizes that some of the equipment they're salvaging from enemy camps isn't from 1974, but later in history. Dr. Strangelove still knows that algorithm she can use to simulate and predict human behavior. When "Rushmore" is queuing up some media to give Snake something to look at, the first image is of the Metal Gear Solid 3 Demo Theater, with Snake standing on the cutscene "Reuniting with the Boss." |

Continuity Nod |
| | Civilization V: Peace Walker (Fanfic) / int_9dab0a6e |
comment |
Continuity Nod: When Chico compares their situation to the "new" show Land of the Lost, he hopes they'll find dinosaurs. Snake is still terrified of vampires, which causes some trouble when a certain voivode shows up. When MSF gains access to bananas, Snake boasts how he can take out entire bases with the fruit. Snake flashes back to pictures of Gene when Alexander starts trying to turn his men against him. Alexander boasts that one of his ancestors was dipped in the river of death to ward it off. Dr. Strangelove likes working out of ancient ruins, and falls into maniacal laughter after completing a reproduction of Chichen Itza. Hideo Kojima is doing field work for MSF, and Snake has to rescue him again. One Great Musician turns out to be two artists, Norihiko Hibino and Cynthia Harrel, who wrote an homage to Big Boss called "Snake Eater." In Part 59, a couple of chapters after Rushmore talks about Ocelot and the case of Liquid's arm, the man himself explains the often-unknown factoid that Ocelot really was possessed by Liquid via the arm, and Liquid was such a pain in the ass to deal with that he had to remove it, but the posession angle was so useful that he kept up the act. |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The chapter after the final battle explains where Snake and his companions ended up after the conflict: Chico's AI is placed on an exploratory probe, sent out into the greater cosmos. Amanda's AI is put in charge of a group of farming robots in Nicaragua. Cecile's AI becomes a DanceDanceRevolution host. Huey and Strangelove's AI begin research into Vocaloid technology. Kaz's AI is put in charge of the remaining MSF programs as part of a business-merger company. Snake, Ocelot, and Nobunaga's AI live out an endless series of games of Civilization, fulfilling their need for combat without risking actual lives. Rushmore - a.k.a. the Boss - turns her attention to a new sim, pondering what life would be like on other planets. |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Given how they last parted, Snake is understandably cold towards Eva when she joins MSF as an operative. |

Shout-Out |
| | Civilization V: Peace Walker (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Snake quotes Zulu when Shaka first appears. One of the MSF writers comes up with a story where a guy goes to a foggy, empty town after getting a letter from his dead wife. Another of the writers' stories concerns "rebels and contra-rebels fighting each other in a high-tech setting! Lots of blowing up giant robots and horrible monstrosities!" A very appropriate reference to The Stanley Parable is employed when the second game starts and as the title of Part 59 - specifically, THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END At the very end of the epilogue, when Rushmore is musing on what to do next: |

Won the War, Lost the Peace: True to Civ V's game mechanics, whenever Snake conquers a rival, no matter how justified his reasons for it, he's saddled with a warmonger penalty that makes the remaining leaders distrust and despise him. Montezuma taunts Snake about this after being defeated. |

Anti-Villain: Shaka is standoffish and unpleasant, and refuses to stop spying on MSF since he thinks they bribed the Huns to attack his empire, which leads to Snake declaring war and conquering the Zulu. Except Shaka was exactly right about MSF being responsible for his war with Attila, even if Snake was unaware of Kaz's backroom dealing, and Shaka never engaged in open hostilities with MSF. Nobunaga straddles the line between this and Anti-Hero. He has noble intentions to create a class-less society, but he uses violent methods. It's not helped by him being a Mood-Swinger, going from being extremely polite, to stark-raving mad, then contritely offering good trade deals to apologise. |

Call-Forward: When the Great Scientist Rosalind Franklin appears and offers to use her genetic skill to "make a clone of you or three." When Eva shows up and Snake comments that she's gained weight, she admits that she "had a few kids not too long ago" but couldn't keep them. She later declares, after taking out a spy in the second loop, that she'll still be awesome "even when I'm a granny". When Frank Jaegar joins MSF, an exasperated Snake sends him off on an intel-gathering mission to Zanzibar, and randomly gives him the codename "Grey Fox" since he thinks "Null" is terrible and "Zero" and "Cipher" are both taken. Dr. Strangelove remembers meeting a fellow scientist in Tokyo in 1974 who talked about a new field, "nano-technology." Nobunaga somehow got his hands on some high-frequency blades that can cleave bullets in two. |

Redeeming Replacement: The Snake we've been following, the AI recreation of Big Boss, becomes this as a result of refusing to descend into villainy like the man he was based off of did. Huey's AI recreation is a rather odd unintentional example, as the fic was written before Metal Gear Solid V was released, but he nonetheless does remain a firm ally of Snake rather than devolving into the Chronic Backstabbing Disorder the actual Huey did. |

Subverted when they discover one of the rival civilizations is France, and Cecile suggests Snake "take advantage" of her by using her as a spy against Napoleon. |

Fission Mailed: Snake crashes the simulation during the second round, but that just leads to Rushmore explaining the situation and preparing him for his real mission. |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: When Snake wakes up from his dream of diplomatic success, he finds that Nebuchadnezzar has somehow taken control of every one of MSF's cities except Mother Base. |

Last Stand |

comment |
Last Stand: Whenever a civilization gets defeated, their leader is hardly content to just surrender. Instead, they use whatever piece of technology or magic they have and attempt to take Snake, and as many of his people as possible, with them. |

comment |
One-Winged Angel: Several leaders pull this off during their boss fights. Montezuma gains power from the blood of sacrificial victims and shoots sunbeams at Snake. Ashurbanipal armors himself with stone tablets and becomes a Bullfight Boss. Shaka steals the shades of his own men to become a bull-headed monster. Nebuchadnezzar turns into a golden-eyed, silver-clawed monster when he wonders if he's "not a king, but a beast, dreaming it's a king." Subverted by Pachacuti, who not only doesn't fight Snake, but doesn't live up to the stories about his mastery over the earth. |

comment |
Wrong Time-Travel Savvy: Snake runs into this in the second round, when he expects to replay the first round rather than start a new scenario, so he's confused when Mother Base is in the jungle instead of on plains, Dr. Strangelove is the first to join him and Miller instead of Chico, and his neighbors are Rome and Japan rather than the Aztecs. |

Death Seeker: Genghis Khan not only is driven into hiding by Napoleon in this world, but he learns from those later in history that the empire he built in the last one was doomed to crumble, and so seeks out Snake to die a warrior's death. Snake shakes this attitude out of him. |
