chtiquick in this thread : http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?579230-Naval-Tech-tree-improvement gave me an idea, well in reality the idea has been inside my head from some time to now, but now is when i've started to put it into practice.
The goal of this mod is to extend the vanilla DH tech tree to cover all those missing techs that should be there but they aren't.
I've already started and therefore i have some screenshots to show you. BTW, let me point you that they may be sound familiar, specially the aircraft tech tree, that's simply because it's taken from Kaiserreich, which, as the creator of it (only the tech tree part) i intend to adapt it (with improvements) to DH vanilla scenarios. The KR already knows it so avoid comments pointing it ok?
Current Version: Absinthe 0.1.1 (19th March 2012)
Download links at the bottom of this post
How to install
NOTE: I don't think that save games of v0.1 will work after 0.1.1 hotfix, so i recommend you to start a new game.
Changelog:
*************************************************************************************
ICON PACK
*************************************************************************************
I've created a Cpack style icon that fits in the mod's airplanes models only (for now), you should take into account that for the roundels i've not been very orthodox and generally i used the one starring in the original pic i used for making the model.
Now i'm starting to convert all these models (1723 new icons, all of them airplanes) into DH full.
If you want to see a preview here you have some screenshots of aerial combats:
