One more thing... Are there any events giving Poland/National France/Italian Federation/Sicilies/Chinese factions their cores?

Hello, I'm a French player of Hearts of Iron II...

This mod interest me very much, and I had a few questions for you:

-Does this mod work on Doomsday add-on?
-There is any bugs on foreign versions of HoI II?

Thanks for your answers...And sorry if my English is not improved!

Current version works with Doomsday in all language versions. I've added most of the new (English) country and ideology names to the different language options in the .csv files, so they should all show up.

Allelujah!

But... When will you release the next version, eh? This weekend, right? ;)

And few more things... Will you fix those "deterministic war events", guarantees of independence american civil war (island VPs...)? And will there be proclamation of tzar/wrangel doctrine?

:) No broadband connection over here for a couple of weeks, so probably not for a while yet.

What exactly needs to be fixed with these events?

Not yet - being planned. Poland can get cores on Galicia during the Ausgleich events however.

These are placeholder events put it at the request of testers because the big wars never broke out - we haven't fully hammered out quite how the main antagonists get at eachothers throats just yet, as we're focusing on the regional conflicts of the earlier years :)
 
What I asking for is for my self-pleasure ( :D ): is it possible to change scenario speechs (when we choose the country) or countries names? I try to make it in MODS/Kaiserreich Beta IA/config/World_names or scenario_texts... It doesn' work...Can you help me?

Also, a few things:

-The half of the flags, diplomacy screen, etc...is turning in dark. Is it a bug?

-Why the titular king of Serbia (Peter II Karadjordjevic, or Alexander Ist, if he was not shooted at Marseille in 1934) is not back in his throne?

-If the Serbia become independant from the Austria-Hungry, why Montenegro doesn't made the same?

-Do you include the fact that Abdul Mejid II, the last Ottoman Caliph in our timeline, died in 1944? His successor was Ahmed Nihad (1883-1954), Ahmed IV if he had ruled.

-Arabia is ruled by the Saud. But they took the power of the hands of Ali bin Hussein, younger son of the Sharif Hussein, who fights the Ottomans together with Lawrence of Arabia. In this timeline, why do the Hashemites don't continue to rules the free Arabs? The elder son of Sharif Hussein was Abdullah bin al-Hussein, the first King of Jordan, assassinated in 1951.

-Is it wanted if Pétain is the chief of National France? It's true he's the last living general of the French Army, but there is others French nationalist political leaders, as Charles Maurras (1858-1952), from the Action Française, a powerful monarchist movement before the Great War...A lot of French extremists were also royalists: the chief of National France could be Jean III or Henri VI, counts of Paris; or even Napoléon V... :D

If I can help you for the historical background, or informations about France, I would be happy to help you: I'm passionate of alternate history, and I study history...

But it's better to wait that my English get a bit less horrible... :D

:) Many thanks - your English is fine, and practicing it is always the best way of improving!

Country names can be changed in the "World_names.csv" file. However, to get them showing up in the French language version, you need to change them in them in the French language column (the second or third IIRC).

Not sure what's going on with the graphics bug that you're experiencing - I normally only get the effect you're describing when I ALT-TAB out of the game when the scenario is loading...

As far as the ministers go, quite a few need to be replaced, particularly in the Balkans and Middle East (there is a new Ottoman Emperor, however). Montenegran territories were annexed into the Austrian Empire after the war, and while Serbia survives, it's lost a lot of land to its neighbours.

I'm also not too sure about Petain in National France, as it's a bit too similar to OTL Vichy, and it may be difficult to justify someone that closely connected with WWI staying in power for that long. Action Française may have been a bit too peripheral in the period in question for Maurras to be in charge, so National France is probably just going to be a generic military dictatorship with many competing interest groups jostling for power to begin with. Although a Monarchic Restoration would be a possibility at some point....
 
Thanks a lot for your answers.

-The bug I've seen was temporary: now, I can play without problems.

-I try to change the French names in the "World_names.csv" file, and it doesn't work. Maybe .csv can't be read by my computer? Is it possible to save the files under Microsoft Excel?

-If I understand everything, French colonies weren't incorporated in the Germa colonial empire for create a rivality between French camps: without his colonies, Commune of France is too weak for attack Germany; without metropole, National France is preocupped by the war against the "communist usurpators".

-For monarchist restauration, some events can relate us these things:

-Assassination of Petain, or National France Head of State
-Return from exile of Charles Maurras as head of government
-Choice between the candidats for the French throne

Orleanist candidate: Henri VI of Guise, count of Paris, heir of Louis-Phillipe: his nomination release the "Crusade" against the Commune of France
Legitimist candidate: Jacques II of Bourbon, duke of Anjou and Segovia, heir of Louis XIV, deaf-mute and second son of Alfonso XIII of Spain: his nomination gives an unbreakable alliance with Spain.
Bonapartist candidate: Napoléon V Bonaparte, count of Moncalieri, heir of Napoleon Ist: his nomination issues to a revenge war against the Mittelafrika.

Also, there is others communist leaders in metropolitan France: Léon Blum, Marx Dormoy, etc...

Ideas about the Armenian puppet state:

Armenia controlled by the Ottomans could be a theocracy, like Italian Federation, ruled by the Patriarch of Cilicia, Avedis Bedros XIV (died in 1938). After his death, like for the event "Papal Conclave", Armenian can choose between these choices after the death of their Patriarch:

-Krikor Bedros XV (Patriarch in our timeline, for a democratization of Armenian system
-Mesrob (died in 1942, Patriarch of Constantinople in our timeline), for end of Armenian independance
-Sahag (died in 1939, Catholicos of Cilicia in our timeline), for Armenian independance war

Ideas about Mexico:

I also lived younger in Mexico, and I'm a supporter for a formation of Socialist United States of Mexico (EUSM, Estados Unidos Socialistas de Mexico), ruled by Doroteo Arango (Pancho Villa) until his death in february 1937...What will happened after the reading of his political testimony?

-Nomination of Lazaro Cardenas: democratization
-Nomination of Plutarco Calles: militarization, attack against the divided USA for claim the former Mexican territories
-Nomination of Procopio Herrera: extension of the communist state to Central America

Thanks for your answers!

Playing as the Reich...Usually by mid 39.

I have had no problem with that. In my games the Synd's usually spark something with poor Russia. They are already battling Turkestan. Also the Japs sometimes declare on Russia. Once that starts I do one thing that always starts the wars. Invade and annex Egypt.

I did an early attack on Egypt right after the Arab conference and same thing. France does a DOW.
 
Why does a Syndicate Ukraine DOW on France and UK? ....April 39

Why does Serbia DOW on just about everyone although surrounded by my allies and me? Serbia does not declare war on the Axis btw.... May 39

Where does Japan and Turkestan fit into things, alliance wise? They go to war with Russia which brings them into conflict with the Axis. ..... March 39

Just some questions. Thanks
 
Most of these are AI issues - Serbia and the other Balkan countries are set to attack their immediate neighbours if things start degenerating, and Syndicalist Ukraine can select a number of possible foreign policies (one of which involves staying friendly with the Germans - which would probably lead to war with France).

Japan is set to potentially create an additional alliance block once all the events and paths are worked out, and Turkestan is an independant expansionist power.
 
This mod looks really good, and I would very much like to try it, but I can't seem to download anything successfully from Rapidshare. Is there any other place I can download this?
 
Replaying this mod with A-H some thoughts came to my mind:

-Shouldn't Austria have already researched at the start of the game the "Great War ships" technologies?, they had a navy, rather small, but with the tech to create it, so i think that they should have those techs.

-It's not about A-H but if Germany won WWI for the Great War tank they should have the Panzerkampfwagen K instead of the A7V, so in my game i replaced it, here it is, ready to paste in the models.csv over the old one:
Code:
MODEL_GER_5_0;Panzerkampfwagen K;Panzerkampfwagen K;Panzerkampfwagen K;Panzerkampfwagen K;Panzerkampfwagen K;Panzerkampfwagen K;;;;;X

If i only knew how to create those framed images i would have posted one of this tank :(
 
the Army actively sought to prevent the order as the type was seen by the military as hugely impractical and a complete waste of scarce resources.

Sounds feasible as a Weltkrieg era Heavy Tank attachment only...
 
That problem requires changing Germany's AI to fix. Sarmatia has mentioned a couple of weeks back that he has manged to fix the problem for the next version (though when that comes out I don't know). You could see if he will tell you what he did to fix it or if you know much about AI files then you could try to fix it yourself. Other than that we have to wait.

think i'll wait, dont want to risk messing up the ai files (which i usually do)

thanks anyway

also, how can i stop the every few weeks (something like that?) repetition of the oil found in alaska by the canadians event?
