The Fall of the Wall - MyMap 1989 Mod

[PreXident]

Hello all!

My brother and I would like to share a project on what we have been working for several months. Now its still far from completion, but after long development we think we have a preview we can post.

We use beautiful MyMap from EU2 that many of you probably know. We created scenario starting January 1, 1989, religions are ideologies now and resources have been reworked, but there's still a lot of work to be done.

Enough of talking - one image is worth of a million words:

Istallation is really simple - extract zip into mod directory and pick TFOTW in scenarios selection
NOTE: this version supports probably only FtG 1.1!

Credits
original creators of MyMap
various artists whose graphic we googled and used

Ongoing:
manpower of provinces
shields of countries

TO DO:
relations, aliances, domestic policies
wealth of provinces
flags, units and other graphic
events!!!
map tweaks
names of leaders, armies, navies
overhaul of combat
etc...

We hope you will try our project and enjoy it!
Any feedback is more than welcomed!

Nice idea. Will you add land connections through PTI ? For graphic, me and Prinz Wilhelm did a lot of graphic for our Modern Day Mod. They are with Birger's style of hanging flags like the EU3 avatars.

looks great!

Will you add land connections through PTI ?

We are planning to remove PTI in places where countries are missing (eg Namibia or the Cetral African Republic), but it's a distant future. Some connections have been implemented already, mostly in areas where certain countries were split into more pieces, such as Algeria and Chile, the bridges can't be seen right now, but they are there.

We were thinking about converting civ3 units, but graphic is not our top priority right now, because we need to read many tutorials as only graphic tool we have used is Microsoft Paintbrush, so any help in this area would be welcomed

Ah, this brings back memories; my first experience on these forums was when my brother and I made a mod for EU2. Keep it up!

We did?

Nice idea indeed !

I will follow this mod in being with interest.

Keep up your modding effort, help will come because we are a small community.....
...but of chosen ones

We will, but work goes slowly, since there's not enough time for all our hobbies and duties.

Sure there will, we are planning a lot of events for Czechoslovakia, but one step at time - sooner or later the events will come

Yes of course,
This is quite a common problem indeed

But as long as you don't have thousand of fans harassing you, your e-mail and PMbox asking for the release of the next patch , map , fix , putwhatheverhere
You can just work at your own pace....

Only remember to come here on regular bases to feed us with news, images, ideas.

Just to keep us alive !

You know I'm becoming MOD-addicted !

Best regards

[nelsonlee]

well done！

I think use the map of WATK lite3.0 will better!

[PreXident]

well done！

Thank you!

This decision was made a long time ago and now it's too late to change the map - it would be too much work. We think that MyMap is almost fully capable to simulate modern world but of course we want to make improvements in long term plans.

Thank you!

I just think that for a modern-day mod,there are so many unknow provinces in mymap……Hoping a modern-day map will come out one day

and I wanna report a problem,the province “Xishuang banna” should belong to PRC but not Lao

[pheonix02]

This mod is amazing,but does modern sprites will be create?

[Logistickman]

Most of PTI areas in MyMap are even now still sparsely inhabited, so we propably will enlarge the surrounding provinces to cover these areas and add more provinces to places where some countries are missing (Namibia, Central African Republic), but it will take its time as we have no map modding experience.

After your report we discussed it and you're right that most of this province belongs to China, but we need to preserve neighbouring countries too and Laos borders with Burma. China has many provinces, so one less doesn't hurt her. Thank you very much for your input indeed! If anyone notices any bug or error, we would be really greatful if he reported it as soon as possible! And we will try to correct it immediately.

Thank you! We plan to convert civ3 sprites which have really huge database at civfanatics.com but it won't be soon probably because conversion looks a bit complicated.

Thank you!
One little detail - we use MyMap, not WATK, but otherwise it's perfect

[nelsonlee]

map modding is really hard,and can FtG define more than 3 kinds of arms(infantry,cavalry,artillery)?

Maybe you can use HOI sprites?
I think that with modern sprites this mod can better.
Anyway it's very interesting mod.
