Darkest Hour of the Modern Era[MDS Scenario]

Lines 437, 438, 439. Also 530, 531, 532.

I'll check again to see how it works.

Edit: Still a nightmare. Can you post your PC specs? (and perhaps your free space?)

-Processor: Intel CoreTM i3-370M processor
-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB VRAM
-6 GB DDR3 Memory

Hehe. I feel ashamed.

P.S. Here's the Romanian policy:

democratic = 9 
political_left = 4 
freedom = 8 
free_market = 6 
defense_lobby = 3 
interventionism = 6

China Starting Ministers Done:

[KaiserMuffin]

Now backtrack your tech tree to accommodate this! :P
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...CHER-83-REX-84

[Xie]

So? How do I transfer MDS tech teams and tech tree from MDS to DH?

And is anyone willing to work on events and some other ministers? Because if it is only worked on by 1 or 2 people, it's dead within a few weeks.

[Lord Finnish]

Try importing both as-is and see if it gives errors. Tech teams at least should work just fine.

[whatguts]

looks good! will there be the current Huang Yan Island escalation? interesting to see how things turn out

[Xander86]

Italy: North Italian Republic, South Italian Republic (Or break it into states again, Venice, Milan, Genoa, Florence, Papal Republic, Naples)

There's no way the GreatDuke of Tuscany could came back, or the pope
Here some suggestions:

Federal Republic of Italy: as concession to welthiers "regioni"

Federal Republic of Padany: the region of Veneto secedes (provinces of Venice and Belluno on DH map), with claims on Piedmont(Turin, Alessandria), Friuli Venezia-Giulia(Udine, Trieste), Lombardy(Bergamo, Milan, Brescia), Emilia-Romagna(Parma, Bologna), Liguria(Genoa). The last 2 regioni are very left sided, so it will be very difficult to these join Padany, the others are right sided, could join with very high dissent maybe
More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lega_Nord but this party is losing support day after day so...

Sardinian Republic(all Sardinia island), SudTyrol Republic(Bolzano), Sicilian Republic(Sicily island): these cultural regions could secede on their own

Any news/idea about the economic system?

[Xie]

Try importing both as-is and see if it gives errors. Tech teams at least should work just fine.

But the question is: How do I import it the most smooth way possible?

looks good! will there be the current Huang Yan Island escalation? interesting to see how things turn out

Most likely for my mod it will turn into a war(hopefully not IRL) and potentially a WW3 flashpoint.

[Steppen]

"Revisionist Communist" doesn't make any sense... I'd suggest "Radical Leftist" for LWR; "Far Leftist" for LEN ans "Communist" for STA.
For Italy, it's much more easier and plausible to simulate a federal rightist government than break it in various states, I guess!

[CocoBZ]

Am I the only one who thinks China should be less authoritarian and more leftist? Because otherwise you can turn it into a right-wing dictatorship in 2 years. Also, maybe a little higher free market value?

[Xie]

Am I the only one who thinks China should be less authoritarian and more leftist? Because otherwise you can turn it into a right-wing dictatorship in 2 years. Also, maybe a little higher free market value?

Please note, I didn't change the sliders for any of the governments yet. How do I edit the sliders so the countries start in more accurate slider positions?

[CocoBZ]

It's in each country's inc file (search for policy inside it). The higher the value of a certain aspect, the more the slider moves to the left.

[whatguts]

china is not left wing, on paper, the marxist ideas they advocate are nowhere to be seen, instead china is a right wing conservative single party dictatorship, everything is about economic growth and prosperity

[Tankist/45]

Xie, have you some mod as basis? You not gonna develop it from 0??? I think you know the chance for mod to come even close to alfa state, if you do it from the scratch. And map isnt that much >10% of work load.

[Limith]

china is not left wing, on paper, the marxist ideas they advocate are nowhere to be seen, instead china is a right wing conservative single party dictatorship, everything is about economic growth and prosperity

Imho, China is more right wing than the USA. Take it as you will.

There are at least 2 MDS revival projects going on. I suggest you merge them. Supremee has MDS2 conversion, and there's the 1989 scenario.

[Xie]

It's in each country's inc file (search for policy inside it). The higher the value of a certain aspect, the more the slider moves to the left.

And where's the inc. file?

NOTE: Done most of the Chinese Ministers. Will now work on the Russian Ministers before finishing up US ministers. Also some of the HoS and HoG figures are speculative "what-ifs" for the Civil War event.

Xie, have you some mod as basis? You not gonna develop it from 0??? I think you know the chance for mod to come even close to alfa state, if you do it from the scratch. And map isnt that much >10% of work load.

I'm using CoCoBZ's 2012 borders map, as well as using most of the MDS minister files as a basis. Tech tree is also to be transferred from MDS.

And most importantly of all, I know there's a good chance of this project failing. Which leads to another goal: If this project dies, I will upload everything for others to finish and use as basis.

Imho, China is more right wing than the USA. Take it as you will.

There are at least 2 MDS revival projects going on. I suggest you merge them. Supremee has MDS2 conversion, and there's the 1989 scenario.

1989 files hasn't been released yet. And most likely never will =(. And even if it was completed it won't move to MDS for some time.

As for Supreeme what has he done for the mod? Just wondering.

P.S: How do I change the opening menu cover for my mod? And what's the maximum size for that?

[CocoBZ]

See scenarios\2007\ for the .inc files (they're the same that store the allocation of provinces for each country).

Edit: Moldovan ministers: http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/45492142/file.html

[Xie]

Thanks for the ministers!

EDIT: Added a better cover:



So now I'm gonna copy over the Tech Tree. How do I do that and get the least amount of errors?
