Just a small update of what is about to come. Due to RL and health reasons I wasn't able to do as much work as I wanted, but since I'll go on holiday next week for 4 weeks I want to release a new version before I leave.
So what has been done? New events, including an improved Brazilian Independence sequence. I've included the Carlist War events and the War of the Tatters from VIP. Further more I've created two events to end the Crimean War since that bugs me a lot in the Vanilla game.
Some tag changes in Spain, Republican Spain now uses the CAT tag while Carlist Spain uses the U02 tag. Portugal has been made a satellite of Britain and Brazil is now independent, but becomes a satellite of Portugal when the Royal court goes home and becomes independent when Pedro stays.
Also Spain starts now with 20 clipper convoys already assigned, this is to prevent a player from pausing in the beginning and build a few transports and ferry it's starting troops to South America.
Also Cyprus and Crete can't declare their independence any more. Texas can now only declare independence (through revolt) after 1835.
What is still going to be done? There will be more events, including an option for Britain, France and Russia to intervene when the Ottomans start advance too far in Greece.
I got a couple of question for people who already played this mod.
If playing Spain or OE:How easy was it to crush the rebellions? And what tactics did you use?
If playing somebody else: How did those countries (Spain/OE) fare during the course of the
game, did Spain lose its colonies in South and Central America? Did Gran Columbia collapse and did the Bolivian-Peruvian confederation form?
Did the OE lose against Greece and after that did they lose against Egypt?
Other comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
As for future plans (version 1.04 and further), I want to make several AIs for almost all countries, but this most likely won't happen untill version 1.04/1.05. I also have planned a rework for the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion. As some enhancements for the 1848 revolutions (I've planned to include the
VIP events for Austria and Italy). The Second Ottoman Egypt War will be reworked aswell. Possible new revolters will include Yucatan, Syria, Palestia, Iraq, Taiping and Mongolia. Possible new nations are Sulu Sultanate and various African Tribes. Although I'm currently considering using either a seperate tag for the United Kingdom of the Netherlands or a possible Holland revolter for a possible northern secession instead of a southern one. Although this probably can be resolved without using an extra tag.
Opinions about this?
