Here we go... This is a very basic attempt to get things going. I haven't done any of this since HOI1 days.
I've used last version, applied DH conversion on top of it and done my changes. To install just copy files from my version on top of the files from version .55.
Events:
- Barracks events covering West and South of Croatia
--> I started with the idea of adding actual units that got created with weapons taken from each depot/barracks but that proved to be too hard at this point. If you read some events I've managed to find documentation but in the end I think we'll just add number of units we need to have balanced game. I will rework these for the next version.
- Mobilisation for RSK and Croatia only done on the Western front
--> I've done Mobilisation in a historically inaccurate way. Units that were around at the start of the was were often replaced, merged, disbanded... as early as October '91, e.g. RSK had at least 4 partial or complete unit revamp in the first 4 months of war. In the end I've opted for latest '91 OOB. IRL mobilisation was gradual and differed from region to region. I have a big classic event at the end of August.
--> JNA units in CRO after war starts are given to RSK by event, otherwise they sit and do nothing. I would LOVE to have JNA troops operating independently from RSK [JRH help!]
--> Mobilisation dates for RSK impossible to find, also regimental make up of the brigades [knindza help!]. There are some cyrillic sites but I get headache reading them
.
- Serbian help to RSK in supplies.
--> RSK is a poor region missing IC. I've done couple of events to keep RSK going until end of November. Off map production and similar ideas are popping into my mind for future releases. For the moment, I have also increased TC efficiency to get any performance out of RSK and JNA troops.
OOB:
- JNA OOB changed to include regiment sized units. Incomplete especially in Macedonia and Serbia --> missing good sources
- CRO and RSK OOB include a lot of police (PU and SUP units respectively). These are just speed bumpers for larger units so the front lines can be formed approximately as they have IRL. They are not that ahistorical as lot of communities armed themselves and kept guard around designated region.
- Still missing airforce and naval units (in the inc-file but commented out)
- Removed large number of airports. I would hate to see MIGs landing on dirt fields.
--> I know you said there is a way to stop this from happening but outside Bosnia only true military airports were used. We can add all airports in Bosnia that were used as military regardless of the size.
***INC files at the bottom are full of dormant divisions and research notes. Ignore them for now...
*** Knindza - info on which JNA units were present (battalion size in area of Plitvice and Kordun in August '91). Please provide any info (units and location) you have (compared to what we have in the game already)
IC and resources:
IC done this so that major cities in all counties have some ICs. Total IC distribution matches BDP.
--> Serbia may be too strong with IC as JRH indicated. I've checked my numbers and I see nothing wrong. I have an ideas how to curb Serbia (make armour expensive to upkeep)
--> Resources not done yet. I think we should have huge lack of resources in-game. We add extra resources required with off map production. How much each county gets depends on international sanctions and how well they are doing in the game. Say human Serbia goes on rampage, we simply remove off map production thus hindering its progress.
AI:
Done some basic changes and I suck! I can beat Croatia as RSK and vice versa without any problem. Although it is waaaaay too early to seriously look at AI. I would like though that AI RSK doesn't leave area close to Zadar which was strategically important. It happens in nearly every game.
Map:
I've adjusted some links so units can't easily reach islands. Only islands that are connected to island via bridge have links now.
Unit Names:
Done only Croatia for now. Not sure how to manage RSK as the numbering there was sort of random and I am missing regimental info altogether.
Ministers:
I've fixed minister file for Serbia which was causing crash in .55 version.
Next version:
I'll continue working on barracks events and try incorporating Western Slavonia into the game.
Please have a go and advise what you like/dislike. Any suggestion are more then welcomed.
