I'll check again to see how it works.

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

Hehe. I feel ashamed.

P.S. Here's the Romanian policy:

So far it's pretty slow. If anyone wants to add onto this then they can do that.

Please note: For Pics it's assumed that I have all the pics for the above already.
 
China Starting Ministers Done:

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

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?

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?

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

"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!
 
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?
 
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
 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?
