Please use the Unified HOI2/DD Generator Utility instead of this one, it'll do what this generator does and more.
Find it here.

Welcome to Hallsten's minister-generator for HOI2 and HOI2 Doomsday!

--beta 1.0-------------------------------------

-First release.
-Will random-generate traits and start-year for a user
specified amount of user-specified political alignments

--beta 1.1-------------------------------------

-Fixed a few exploding head-bugs
-Added a progress-indicator

--beta 1.2-------------------------------------

-Fixed a bug that I apparently had not fixed in beta 1.1

--beta 1.3-------------------------------------

-Fixed a crash-bug that occurred when the output-file was already in use.
-Improved the random-generator.

-----------------------------------------------

The minister-generator will need a list of names looking like this:

Code:

Erwin Rommel
Erich von Manstein
Heinz Guderian

This file must be situated in the same folder as the generator.

NOTE: I can only guarantee that the generated ministers will work for a game within the normal HOI2-timeframe. I'll fix this for a future release, though.

Please post here, or PM me, ANY recommendations/requests. The generator's values are loosely based on the vanilla HOI2 minister-files, but any balance-comments are greatly appreciated!

Current main download-directory is here

Also, be sure to check out my HOI2 leader-generator here:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3931362#post3931362
and my HOI2 tech team-generator here:

original post

I'm planning on making a minister-generator since there seems to be a slight need thereof.
I need some help first though:
-How common should each trait be?
-Should some traits be more common for a specific political alignment?

Yes, a Prince of Terror, Iron fisted Brute or Power hungry Demagogue for a democratic government is unrealistic.

Should there be a 0% chance that any of those appear for democratic government? I think that there should at least be a slight chance to get one...

Yes, make anything possible. I've seen Prince of Terror for the US.

Keep up the good work, Hallsten.

For a PA or Fascist US that can be, but never for a democratic government (0%).

Great Britain:

USA

I didn't find any powerhungry demagogue, but I didn't look in all files.

Indeed, and France has a Prince of Terror at the beginning of the 1936 scenario also.

Yes, but the fact, that Paradox does it this way, does not mean, that Hallsten should also do it. Paradox does a lot of things for "game balancing" reasons.

Good point, but democracies don't tend to elect monsters to office. I mean, it's not like Hitler was democratically elected... :rofl:

thanks for the bump...
I've been at my girlfriend's lately, so the project has been on hold. I'm going to start anew now though. Still doing statistics to try to determine which alignments should have which traits.

ok, I pretty much have an idea of the percentage of each trait in every government so I can start my work now.

My question is this: Some governments, e.g. Social Democrats, don't have any "Powerhungry Demagogue". Should the generator follow this or should there be a veeeeeery small chance that there will be an SD Powerhungry Demagogue?

Excellent idea on this though, would there be a way to link pics etc as well?

Yes, I know. Hence the "".
Pics can be easily be added later.
