Does any one know how to change a nations name.

Does any one know how to change a nations name.

i think if you go into config in the doomsday folder and then world_names excel file you can simply retype the name.

Hey. This is an absolutly fantastic mod, so much detail.
Anyway i started as Russia last night (as was suggested) but i'm not sure when or if the war will hit me by event. I'm only just going into 1938, i tackled the need for reenforcement, and i'm half way through the upgrades. But i haven't had an oppertunity to build any new units yet. I'm interested in preparing for a war with the cossaks, but i'm wondering if i should wait for my upgrades before i start building up my army. Am i falling behind? I usually played smaller nations in vanilla so i may not be used to such a vast country.

[pankx]

cossaks will may join you by the event.if they accepted tsar.of course you need tsar

[gornard]

I accepted the tsar. I've generally been choosing the path of least resitence. After i reinstated the tsar i got an event for the cossaks becoming my puppet, but i chose the option that rebuffed them and gave me a claim to all their territory. I figured that the reconquest of the russian imperial possessions would be a suitable goal and better in the long term.
It looks like there may be possible friction with finland, mongolia and japan but at the moment i'm gearing for an early war with the cossacks. I'm just wondering if i'm falling behind, should i let off on upgrades and start building up my forces?

Russia starts off with a lot of divisions in the game and you should be larger than most nations with the exception of the French and Germans when their war kicks off. What's necessary is to bring them back up to full strength, and that's really about it. Keep upgrades down to handle like 2-3% and focus on exploiting your large manpower for new units.

[kovan09]

ok out of curiosity, i made some events that need help. Try adding them to your germany file and tell me how to make them work.

taking down the cossacks shouldnt be too challenging. when i played as tsarist russia i reinforced and upgraded all my divisions before building more land units, but thats just the way i wanted to do it as the russians have a massive army at the beginning, it just needs reinforcing. i only got involved in the great war because i chose to, but that was the previous version so it may have changed, but i doubt it. i would say that until about 1941 you'll just want to annex your neighbours - my goal was mainly to regain the entire tsarist empire. some countries for example mongolia you will get the chance to go to war with them by event, and can gain a lot of ic that way.

I have a quick question, has anyone considered whether or not Mexico should get events that would give it a choice as to whether or not to jump into the American Civil War?

One would think some would say that it would be a golden opportunity to grab back lost lands...

Yea, that would be nice. There's some events standing alone there where Mexico can claim lands only after defeating the Pacific States, but options to take Mexico into a more aggressive direction would be interesting.

well mexico can get into a war with california but there isnt any point, im going to try to work on that when hoi 3 comes out and beta 1 is out

[gornard]

Thanks for the replys. It's kind of refreshing not knowing how this war is supposed to go. I defeated mongolia, absorbed the country in the khazakstan area, got claims on tansmur and got into war by event with the cossaks and gerogia. However i only have one victory point left to go for the cossaks and germany decide to make good on their gaurentee of the cossaks and my high belligerence and DOW me. It's just 1939 and since there was no event i'm guessing it's not the historical world war. With their european allies they have more troops then me, i'm not sure how long i can hold out, especially if one of my other neighbours attacks, i probably have a long time to wait before the entente or the international join in right?

yeah you might be screwed, as the whole of central and eastern europe licks germany's shoes. i must have avoided going to war with anyone germany guarantees when i played with russia. i puppeted the cossacks personally.

[gornard]

Yeah i also put the aggresivness up one level above normal. I think i'll try another game, now that i know sort of what to expect.

i you want to plaay like i did, go soviet and take down kahakastan then instantly dow on turkestan, keep building infantry, then go after the mognols and tibiet. the dow on quing or the other holy populist faction, then dow on the german company, take them down and take all eastern german value points then move all units back to the west and put them on the don kuban front and take them out, then come up under ukraines underbelly and beat them down. finnaly move all units to the baltics and push through them and get into berlin and the dow on austria and northern rome, quikly hit hungary from both sides or you will get in some trouble, after that, make stacks on the french front and dow on them, then go toward spain, and annex build transports and land in the UK and take them out, then create seprate states such as normandy and prussia, or carlists and cnt-fai. wales england and scotland. finally take time and beat up japan and create a soviet republican china and a commie japan.

[gornard]

I started a new game as the French commmune with the aggresivness set back to normal. It's pretty interesting trying to grow the international in the early years although it's not always certian who you are going to get. I got bengal to join and brazil seems to have a 'bring to alliance' chance too. However centro america and the union of britain have 0% chance despite having 200 relations each (britain is bolshevik now as well). Is there a reason for this?

I almost got mexico but then they switched to paternal autocrat . I sold my starting militia units to the syndicalist rebels in america, hope that gives them a bit more of a fighting chance, they lost quickly in my russia game.

[pankx]

union of britain will join you by the event ,when wletkrieg begin (romandy war, alsaise-lorraine question etc)
centroamerica is to far away from europe to have interest in your alliance i suppose

I LOVE this Mod! It's got such an awesome world, premise, whatever you want to call it.

Any chance you'll make the jump to HOI3? I'd love to help in such a case...
