Time to man up

Rocketboy · Oct 27, 2013

So it is time for me to go from the training wheels on Aresenal of Democracy to add all the wonderful mods out there. I have downloaded DH via steam and updated it to 1.03. What are the best mods to add to DH to give me a great taste of something different? I also notice that DH has three flavors I can play in...do all the mods work across all flavors? Lastly are there any play guides out there that you more knowledgeable members of the community would advice I read. Understand the long term goal is to be able to eventually make the leap to HoI3, without getting my teeth kicked in.

While not the HoI3 forum(and I will repost it there) does 3 allow you to set ministers to handle installation of radar/IC/andAAA....or is that still done by hand?

Almost all are for Darkest Hour Full.

Darkest Hour Lite is for compatibility with mods for HoI2:ARMA

Nothing is basically HoI2:ARMA with engine bug fixes.

IMO the best mods:

For WW1: Mod1914 (At least until To End All Wars is released)

For WW2: Edge of Darkness

Modern: Novapaddy's Modern Day Scenario

Then there are a lot of ahistorical/alternative history mods worth checking out

Why Edge of Darkness and not WiF 2 or TRP?

There are a lot of reasons for playing DH, Rocket, but I wouldn't reckon this to be one of them.

All of these are my opinion.

Considering that there are those AARs of Portugal world conquest, France spanking Germany by 1941, and even (gasp) invading France via Maginot line by 1937, anyone expecting HOI 3 to be difficult will have a nasty surprise...

Only thing HOI 3 has more is pseudo-complexity in the form of it´s boring OOB management and tiny provinces.

WW1: Mod1914
WWII Scenario: WiF2 (hard mode) or Mixed Mod (more flavor)

"Alternative" WWII Scenario: TRP (They use a different combat engine)

Alternative History Mod: Kaiserreich

Cold War Mod: NWO2

Total Conversions: FoDD

Mods I would avoid: MDS2 (lags like no tomorrow), EoD (banned subjects, terrible quality control)

Darkest Hour is pretty much Kariserrich simulator for myself these days.

Playing DH alone you can consider yourself a full grown man.
