Wonderful opening! It's great to see all those amazing guys joining the project. And expansion into 21st century...this will be just awesome.
 
Good luck with reviving the mod!

If you ever wanted to add some late Cold War material from NWO2 feel free to do so. There's almost nothing of this right now but I'll be adding more content soon.
 
I know I've said I'm hyped, but now I am even more!

And now, to get into business: I'll need world_names.csv.

Edit: Oh, and all the Romania-related files, from ministers to events.
Good luck with reviving the mod!
It was never dead to begin with

What do you think about Rename West Germany to Democratic Germany,and East Germany to Socialist Germany? Or Just Rename to "FDR" and "DDR"?Because West and East Germany names cannot be used after the unification
 
Looks great! I can't wait to be able to test the beta.

I was once planning an "generic tech tree" ranging from late 19th century to 1960s. I think I could have some ideas you may use in your tech tree. If you are interested, PM me. Unfortunately, I currently don't have time to help with the actual coding.
I've sent you a PM.

Autocrat is not a good ideology imo because any government that is dictatorship can be considered an "autocrat". How about Ultranationalism instead?

PA Should be authoritarian democrat.

I didn't post all the ideologies before. These are them all:

Autocratic
Right-Wing Fundamentalist
Reactionary
Social Conservative
Market Liberal
Social Liberal
Social Democrat
Left-Wing Radical
Marxist-Leninist
Totalitarian Socialist

Your suggestions are welcome.

Yay! What will the end date be?

That's still not defined, it will depend on the progress and if a merger with MDS de facto happens.
What do you think would be a good end date if the mod stays in the cold war only? 1995, 2005?
Anyway, when a end date is set, I will give the possibility for the player to continue playing undefinitely but without the events or to end the game and look at Victory Points.
But as all Paradox games, you will set your own goal.

People, as i usually do, i can collect the province pictures for this mod.
Are you interested?

I started the work anyway xD

Of course! The only ones made are for East and West Berlin. You can start at anytime you want. Send me a pm or an email: hansnery@gmail.com for details.

Good luck with reviving the mod!

Thanks for the support Bizon! :)

Please send me your email through PM. It's better to send the files.
And that's the spirit! ;)

I chose to keep to a more de facto approach. As how people called or perceived the world. But anyway, you will be able to change the name of the one true "Germany" if you reunite the country and be the only Germany in the world, as there will be no more contenders to the name, regardless of which one you choose to play! And it keep the names short. :D
 
As for ideology names, what about that:

Radical Populist (NS) - Right-Wing radicalism, be it ultranationalism, fundamentalism etc.
Paternal Autocrat (FA) - traditional personal dictatorship at its best
Conservative Democrat (PA) - limited/nominal democracies, national conservatives, moderate populists...
Conservative Liberal (SC) - modern conservatives
Market Liberal (ML)
Social Liberal (SL)
Social Democrat (SD)
Left-Wing Radical (LWR) - non-or-semi-Marxist Far Left/socialist movements
Socialist (LE) - nominal Marxist-Leninists that abandoned some key elements like full planned economy
Marxist-Leninist (ST) - ideologically orthodox regimes that strictly follow Marxist-Leninist approach

I will let the debate flow and see what comes out! :laugh:
 
Nah man Stalinist is like North Korea.

The USSR was certainly Marxist-Leninist under Kruschev (to an extent) but nobody was praying to the ghost of Stalin. You could get away with some free speech behind closed doors, could become a Protestant or even attend Orthodox Church, Islam was accepted at least somewhat. In East Germany nudism, homosexuality, and stripping were all legal in the 80's and the first and last rather popular. Not to mention as I said to a *certain and limited extent* you could *kind* of speak your mind/in euphemism. Not like DPRK or Stalinist Russia where that's enough to get you a nighttime visit+transportation to Happy Funtime Re-education Camp.

Also I never liked the sliders to a certain extent as the view on "Democracy" by ultrarights is "it's evil" whereas leftists (ML, Maoists, Trotskyites) have different senses of democracy that "could" be implement. It's silly to call a high-democracy country with central planning a Western-style democracy.

Moreover with your right wing why Radical Populist? Sounds odd to me. You can have ultraright governments that aren't "popular" I don't think the Stormfront crew exactly classify as "populists" In a traditional sense.

I think:

Fascist (NS) - Stormfront wet dream, 4th Reich, "Empire of All the Russians and Eurasia"
Paternal Autocrat (FA) - Dictatorship
Traditionalist Conservative (PA) - Neocon wet dream of business and Jesus/"the land of yesteryear" that probably never was
Conservative Liberal (SC) - Your moderate conservatives-- John McCain
Market Liberal (ML) Most Dems/Classical Liberal Euro parties
Social Liberal (SL) Minority Dems/elements of Liberal parties/Canadian Liberals/New Labour
Social Democrat (SD) SPD, Canadian NDP
Socialist (LWR) - SFRY, Latin American revolutionary countries, Trotskyite dream?
Hardline Socialist (LE) - Brezhnev
Stalinist (ST) - GLORIOUS DEAR LEADER ETERNAL PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG LEAD US FROM BEYOND GRAVE, HE TRULY LOVE BY ALL KOREAN PEOPLE, DO NOT QUESTION THIS
 
I don't like Radical Populist as NS ideology. A leftist regime can be easily interpreted to be radical populist. Not sure about National Populist through.
 
Why not, I'll join in

NS - Fascist (Not sure who would be a good fit here tbh)
FA - Reactionary* (Franco's Spain, Pinochet?)
PA - Autocracy (Generic Military Junta, Peron?)
SC - Conservative (CDU, Tories)
ML - Market Liberal (FDP, Tories)
SL - Social Liberal (Democrats, New Labour, RPR/UMP, Liberal Party UK)
SD - Social Democrat (Labour, SPD, SAP)
LWR - Socialist (Chavez/Maduro, Cuba?)
LE - Communist (USSR, Warsaw Pact)
ST - ** (North Korea, PRC)

The general idea is to keep what is similiar to the 1936-45 timeframe while changing what isn't. I thought about doing a leftward shift generally with National Socialism out of the way, but right now that's not my intention. The goal in my proposal is to keep them as broad as possible, so "Maoist" or "Stalinist" are generally out. This is generally with an eye to the 80s to late 90s, although I'm using some later examples to make my point.

As you can see I'm sort of iffy on a few of these examples. For example I'm not sure whether to describe someone like Reagan as Conservative or Market Liberal. I'm thinking something along the lines of Reagan being Conservative with Thatcher being Market Liberal. Obviously that's not really important I guess, as I'm sure you've already assigned the major players to their ideology and all that's left to quibble on is the naming scheme.

*Not sure about this one, maybe switch it with Autocracy
**Not really sure what to put here. Jucheism? (half facetious here) go with Maoist anyways?

The only far left governments I've seen described as "populist" are those in Latin America. At any rate my idea excludes that term so...
 
My ideas:

Ultranationalist (NS)
Nationalist (FA)
Autocracy (PA)
Conservative (SC)
Moderate (ML)
Liberal (SL)
Social Democrat (SD)
Bolivarian (LWR)
Socialist (LE)

Not a bad list though different than the one I made. Also "communist" is perhaps a poor choice-- too broad as nobody (including the man himself) would dispute Franco's reactionary nature, but even the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would say "we are not a communist state, and that term contradicts our goals by definition." Similarly Maoist is probably a poor choice for hyper-autocracy. Nepal is run by Maoists and I promise you it ain't nothing like DPRK. Perhaps Stalinist is a good term just because it encompasses Leftist Totalitarianism-- which might be a good option for name too.
 
Guys has anyone in this thread studied political science?

Here's the deal: Hitler definitely said "I am a fascist and national-socialist"
Stormfront definitely says "We are racist rightwing radicals"

But Stalin may have said "I'm a communist" he NEVER said "the USSR is a communist country" or "communism has been achieved in the USSR"
Therefore saying ultra-left totalitarianism is defined as "Communism" under this system makes no sense-- even "socialist" USSR is lead by Communist Party! Similarly how do you then measure North Korea, a country that has suppressed all usages of the term "communism" since 1975? And whither Cuba? Moreover "Bolivarian"? By this notion the SFRY would be Bolivarian!! I can't imagine that. This is too narrow and 21st century.
 
Let me try this ideology stuff.

Neo-Fascist/Fascist (NS) The Nazi/Fascist dream is dead. So clearly a revival group would be around in some nations.
Autocratic Dictatorship (FA) This would mostly account for Radical Right Dictatorships with Autocratic methods like Francoist Spain
Right-Wing Radical (PA) I agree with JRHINDO on this one. Perhaps this would account for the less Autocratic Dictatorships
Conservative (SC) Self explanatory. Just the average Conservative Democracies.
Classic Liberal (ML)
Left Libertarian (SL)
Social Democrat (SD)
Democratic Socialist (LWR)
Marxist-Leninist (LE)
Maoist (ST) Maoism was the common form of Anti-Revisionist policy during the Cold War. Since Stalinism is dead, Maoism could possibly have a revival in the third world or in the PRC/N. Korea.
