Be advised I have downloaded v0.13 from the Mediafire upload a few times and am getting a corrupt file in the package each time. The Hotfile link appears to be down.

That could be doable.. simple math for reserves/output would determine the life of the fields. On the other hand that could be too much micro management..
Anyhow here are the major gas fields:

}If through playtesting the energy levels end up being too high, another option is using TCM (trillion cubic meters) instead of TCF (cubic feet). In that case divide all output of energy by 3.5.
Comments are welcome, otherwise Ill start on the iron & rares next.

I think micromanagement should only be applied to the Soviet oil fields in the Ural-Volga region and the Saudi oil. Otherwise it's too much work (and CPU use) for too little gameplay difference. It can be considered for large oilfields when actual output far exceeds that predicted by by the BBR X 4 rule.
Replaced Hotfile with File Factory as the alternate download site, and I downloaded from Mediafire myself and the file was fine. Try downloading again.

I think it could be from the book "My tank is fight" or so. There are many interesting prototypes in that, like my friend the land-battleship P1000 - Ratte.
I would definetly support such unnecassary, resource eating prototype-monsters in the cold-war extension mod!!!
PS : Is it the Glocke you depicted there ? Nice
I agree; having the... interesting... vehicles from the book My Tank is Fight would be interesting. A Cold War tech tree mod will be interesting to see (especially if it extends to the end on the Cold War in 1989.
ight, i've been reading comments since page 13, and u guys keep skipping an issue some people keep mentioning, u need to make scenarios in the cold war for the oil and over military build up thing, second i wanna play the cold war, but i don't wanna play ww2, i'm boared of it now. by the way it is possible to add a tech tab, i did it 3 years ago with armageddon, i forget how but it is possible, just keep missing around till you get it
i remmbered, in the gulf war, when iraqi troops were retreating, they put oil wells on fire, maybe you can cause an oil penalty for a nation, or maybe troop lose for some nation. just cause some effect
I've been away for a few days--other commitments then internet service outage that turned out to be the provider's wiring outside.
Some observations
I have a completed tech tree with respect to units and some foreseeable projects, plus secret weapons and industrial techs. It may be that a weapon system or two is missing but would not like to tackle that now. I don't see a need for extra tech tabs. I think an expanded field would suffice.
The three big areas of concern are:
1) No land, sea or air doctrines past 1970. The Broken Star mod has ideas, but so far has only produced graphics. MDS has some good ideas for present day but there is still a need for the interim (1970-1995 period). In practical terms, Broken Star mod ideas need to be translated into real effects. (Both mods have given me permission to use their material with credit)
2) No minister files for major countries, and nobody is helping much here. I've taken a look at the Russia and Soviet Union files. Paradox's Russia (not USSR) files are a nightmare. If you look up their ministers on Google, in many cases, ALL OF THE RESULTS POINT TO HOI2. This tells me that most likely they made the people up. So I'm going to assume a 1959 death for all nonverifiable ministers. I can get from 1959 to 1975 with a few people, and many of the present day Russia ministers can be started as early as 1975. Many of them were simply professionals loyal to whomever is in power, and worked for both the Soviet Union and Russia. MDS has a fairly good Russia file as a starting point, but it needs backdating and fine-tuning--plus I found a few more people. The Soviet Union can be continued past 1990 with communists and social democrats as ministers, as I understand Gorbachev dreamed of turning the Soviet Union into a social-democratic state. I think Gorbachev should go in with a dual identity and perhaps different personalities, once as a Leninist, and once as social-liberal. (but only as social-liberal in the Russia file). I believe there were some possible alternate history choices that might have led to a continuation of the Soviet Union and this has to be allowed for. Likewise the possibility of an early demise of the Soviet Union has to be allowed for.
Anyway, I'll work up the minister files for the Soviet Union and Russia. I'll need some volunteers for the other major countries. In many of these cases, it's easier to find the information on the internet.
3) There is no scenario. Cold war has been attempted for years, with my effort being the only one to bear fruit so far (to my knowledge) on the HOI2 platform. So after 0.14, I expect to at least work on porting that to AOD, so you can at least fight the Chinese Civil War and Korean Wars. With that as a start, hopefully a 1956 and 1962 scenario could be done just based on play from 1945. etc.
Who wants to volunteer to help out in what way?
Some observations
I have a completed tech tree with respect to units and some foreseeable projects, plus secret weapons and industrial techs. It may be that a weapon system or two is missing but would not like to tackle that now. I don't see a need for extra tech tabs. I think an expanded field would suffice.
The three big areas of concern are:
1) No land, sea or air doctrines past 1970. The Broken Star mod has ideas, but so far has only produced graphics. MDS has some good ideas for present day but there is still a need for the interim (1970-1995 period). In practical terms, Broken Star mod ideas need to be translated into real effects. (Both mods have given me permission to use their material with credit)
2) No minister files for major countries, and nobody is helping much here. I've taken a look at the Russia and Soviet Union files. Paradox's Russia (not USSR) files are a nightmare. If you look up their ministers on Google, in many cases, ALL OF THE RESULTS POINT TO HOI2. This tells me that most likely they made the people up.

imma volunteer to help but i have 2 conditions. first of all, i can't help till summer because i have testing. second, i can't seem to find an editor for AOD, u know to make ministers and that stuff. so can you tell me ? or do you just have to make the files ?. Also, if you want, i can maybe make the events or something
Thats simply scorched earth policy - already modeled in AoD
I would also suggest including the Technical Teams Mod if possible. Lots of goodies there to aid in filling that area out. MDS Tech teams would also be very helpfull.
re: mineral discoveries - Lots of problems there. I have a preliminary list of major discoveries in the last ~60 years. But regarding rates & reserves its VERY patchy.. have maybe a third of the number data... If anyone can point to detailed numbers about this it would be most welcome.

if u wanna find out historical statics, casualties, resources, and that stuff then try and go to CIA.gov or something, maybe go to the country's website, and who knows maybe they have a list of ministers and that stuff, since u guys have a lot of trouble with the soviets and communist countries
icehawk, or anyone, can you tell me if there is an editor for AOD ? like the ones for the DD and armageddon
@ Ali_1882
I personally have not bothered with event editors for ages. Open Office Calc spreadsheet editor works well for the csv files. Microsoft Excel also works. For events and tech trees there's always notepad, copy and paste. You can always use Edit-Replace All, etc, and for spreadsheets use various sorting functions. I personally like to use the death date in the loyalty column when I develop a ministers file. Then after I've written the death events, I replace the death dates with the loyalty to finalize the file. I wouldn't be able to do that with a Paradox event editor. The Paradox editors are IMHO a waste of time.
It's VERY easy to find out who the leaders are TODAY. The issue is finding them out for the last 50 years. That's where wikipedia and other sites come in. CIA.gov is of very little help for historical ministers.
You can see what is left to be done by summer. Let us know when you are ready.

ummm i have an idea to find out the ministers and that stuff 50 years ago. we can just simply hack the governmental websites and get the data we need, but we'll need a really good cyber hacker, if u know a good one then ask them.
ummmm ok, for the ministers, instead of creating the death date, in Armageddon, there is a part of the editor which is really easy to use, all u have to do is simply pick a death date, a date when to start using minister, his identity/personality, name, and a picture. however if u still wanna go ur way, then go ahead, do what's easier for you. also, if u have troubles with tech teams, then tell me about that also, it's easy to make them with the editor too (well for me it's, i used to use them when i wanted good tech teams for weak countries i wanted to use).
Many of those minister's names are simply spelt differently, or all the sources happen to be in Russian.
I am working on that right now for Fatherland if you don't remember. I would really like some aid with it though, maybe tutoring me a bit on stuff I don't understand (such as event database, or the scenario files), and advice on how to organize my work. I am not sure I will do the regular Cold War though. My progress so far is limited due to lack of experience (I have to figure out everything myself). But I have picked out and made compatibility adjustments for all the latest events files from the original Fatherland mod, along with some minor details just about everywhere.
As I said before, this is an official school project for me.
Guys, read up - long term this is the best way to learn to deal with the intricacies of the game:

Samilou,
You can just do fatherland. I'll do regular Cold War. For fatherland, you can leave out the Viet War as I expect to redo that, in part because I decided on a slight map mod to reflect the fact that 1/4 if Cambodia is EAST of the Mekong River, and Laos is NOT within striking distance of Saigon.
The pink area is designed to be ceded to the Vietcong for purposes of conducting the Second Vietnam War. Although I'd like to incorporate the Vietnam/Afghan Wars mod, there is a big problem--AoD has a bug causing most of the unused map provinces to not display icons so they are unusable. Until and unless this bug is fixed, I cannot put a lot of extra provinces in. I got lucky with province 1899, but for some reason none of the others are usable.

I had to cancel the project at school, I had too much difficulty with it, so I will just just revise the purpose of that previous, failed project unrelated to this to make it seem like a successful project.
But I will remain a devoted helper, with a fair bit of free time this summer. I haven't done extremely much, but I can upload what I have managed to at least. Just assign me something specific that I can be taught quickly or know already and I will do it if it helps CWTE.

That's all of my work I think will be of any use.

I'm interested in helping with this project now that I have spare time. Is anything in particular needed?
I can think of one thing that will help a lot. I know it's a lot of busy work but it will have to be done sooner or later. It can be done with a spreadsheet editor. All the leaders files need to have the 1990's in the Rank 3 year, rank 2 year, rank 1 year, and rank 0 year changed to something suitable like 2999. Otherwise they all become field marshals in 1990. It will be of course up to the scenario to sleep them.
Another thing that needs work (less busy work, more research) is getting minister files and elections updated for the later years. Let me know which ones interest you.
I'm working on USSR, Russia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia right now but would appreciate help with any others. USA, Europe, China, Japan, and the Middle East are I believe especially important.
