New Revolters for AOD is part of my modern day extension. Download link is in my sig. Current list of countries officially accepted for the mod will be kept on this page.
I'd like to start reconstructing the New Revolters part of my Cold War Extension for AOD. Your first question might be "Why is this necessary?" Well, here's the answer. As you may know, New Nations and New Revolters are two different mods for HOI2. They both attempt to use the U00-U69 space but for different purposes. New Nations' emphasis was on creating an alternate history fantasy world in 1936. My emphasis in New Revolters was on nations that might presumably be released in WW2, and actual Cold War independent countries. There was not enough room for both. Now with 60 new tags, I thought Daboo (New Nations creator) would be amenable to a merger offer. Well, here's the bombshell. He turned me down! Not only that, but he told me that he was "not authorizing the use of his material for the AOD platform". Whereas I'm EXTREMELY disappointed by that stand, we have to live with it. Therefore if we want anything similar to New Nations or New Revolters, we have to reconstruct it ourselves. New Nations has now been released for profit at the 'Mod for Enjoy' website. On the other hand, I am dedicated to keeping my material free. There are about 45 new countries in New Revolters. For some of them, I used SOME of his material, with permission, of course, on the HOI2 platform. But it is impossible for me to determine, for each and every file entry, which entry might have been from his mod, and which might have been from my own research. Therefore I am initially going to release this mod with ONLY countries that are NOT in New Nations, plus a few files with generic placeholder entries. I need the cooperation of you, the community, to make this mod successful.
Here are the countries planned:
U00 European Union
U01 Free City of Danzig (historical)
U02 Socialist Afghanistan
U03 Mujahideen Afghanistan (later Taliban)
U04 Zimbabwe

UC3 Anfu Clique (1914-35)
UC4 Guominjun (1920-48)
UC5 Soviet Far East Republic (Russian Civil War)
UC6 Communist Ukraine (Russian Civil War)
UC7 Sequoyah (CSA 'Southern Road to War' mod compatibility 1936-64)

UC9 free
UD0-UD9 free
UE0-UE9 free
UF0-UF9 free
UPR German Confederation
UPS Communist Japan
UTC Kuban Cossacks, etc
UER Russian Empire (alternate history)
EDIT:I was initially against the idea of European Union being U00 but have changed my mind. Here are the reasons:
1) I found out that many model files were created by the AOD team.
2) It is not that difficult to modify a mod by doing tag replacement
Notepad--edit--replace all, changing U00 to UA0.
3) I'm seriously considering CREATING European Union around 2000. Since France is hurt technologically by the AOD 10 tech-teams scheme, a union involving France, Belgium and other countries (probably all that signed the currency agreement) would be logical, and no longer allied with the USA (maybe allied with Russia???).
Edit2:Will bring back USA break-up revolters but it will be a different scheme from either New Nations or my own New Revolters for DDA.
