Adds a couple of extra garrisons and tweaks the FUSA start forces a little.

First, i only have played FUSA once and i got ripped to shreds. Also the junkers certainly attacked before june. I didn't even get to April in that game.
Could it have been that i was playing the game and mod on the highest AI aggressiveness settings? I know i usually play DH on those settings. i could have forgotten to reset the fusa game settings to normal. Let's put it this way from the time of the civil war starting til the junkers attacked me i couldn't even get the reinforcements slide to run down to zero as it normally does in a pretty fast time. All i used my quite small IC's for once the civil war did start was meeting the civilian goods demand and trying to get the reinforcements done. then i would have put most of the IC's i had left into reducing the dissent.
So if what i was experiencing wasn't normal then i most probably had the game set on too high of a difficulty setting for me to start using a faction that i had no idea what it's initial capabilities were.
I'll try it on normal settings.
yes, i did ignore the marauders.
As to the Roman civil wars. caesar was a much more capable commander than pompei ever was.
As to the USA's civil war, that was was really won in the western US. The union generals were much better tactically then their confederate opponents and the union units had usually more and better stuff. But too many people just view what happened in the eastern part of the US as the entire civil war. Remember Gen Grant learned his trade winning many battles on the western side of the war before he was brought to confront Gen Lee on the eastern side.
I can't really say anything about the 2014 Egyptian coup d'etat except that it was actually very well planned for something happening during the current "Information age". i haven't studied it yet.
And I never play them except when testing something that directly affects FUSA (per-civil-war) or to find out if it's possible to win the civil-war. But more to the point:
I didn't said that Junker attacked in June. I said that CANADA (RCC) attacked me in June. Junkers DOWed me on march 10th.
That may be it. I rarely play outside of normal-normal (unless I feel like dealing with crazy scenarios, or a more difficult one). However, I ignore if a different AI aggressiveness affects the use that the AI gives to their troops (in general, I've only see more DOWs than actual change in strategy on higher settings. I guess that staring armies are less common though).
There were several Roman civil wars, you know? The more famous is probably the Augustus vs Marc Anthony. I was actually thinking on the 'Year of the four Emperors', in particular the Vitellius to Vespasian part.
(Un)fortunately, I haven't really studied USA civil war by virtue of not living there nor having a particular interest in the conflict, so I'll take your word. However, the entire USA army at that point was of merely 16,000 men; it's not too much of a stretch to say that they may as well be not-existent in a conflict involving 3 million men (While officials are important, most aren't on the battlefield per se). Besides, while the Union did had industrial and economic (and naval) supremacy, it still took over 4 year to end the conflict.
And you are right, doubly. I THOUGHT i had extracted the fix into the game folder and overwritten every file (which i actually did, i just tested it a second time now) and it seems my program combination (teracopy plus 7zip) doesn't work well together, if there are files to be overwritten. So i just extracted the Fix11 Folder somewhere else and copied from there, et voila, the amount of time needed for the .wav is right. Thx for the support.
So, i've been playing some time now and one thing still disturbs me, has anyone EVER had harmony or greenings way? I'm unable to research em, neither with arroyo, manitou, darien and woi. Even if i go just straight for way of dreams (the '49 not the '47 tech in between - thought it might deactivate 'em) it doesn't help.
So to get it together: i'm able to research the '49 tech before the '47 tech and then unable to research the furthergoing techs...
Another thing that's been missing from my side: in earlier versions of the mod, you had the wonderful ability to get other races if you choose diversity, that was a VERY nice feature (and a big plus for people going for diversity) - could you put that back into the game? You could make it possible after diversity when you conquer other nations i.e. robot nation for robots etc.

I've done so with robot nation. However, I had to research 'never was' to pull it off. It seems that excluding that method, it's not possible to do so. I'll see how to fix that.
I'm can't quite remember why that was removed. I'm guessing balance issues, but I'll ask about it anyway.
I have been playing Manitou these days and I noticed the fact I can't research Harmony or Greening Way as well. Doesn't seem to be research-based restriction, but clearly a scenario deactivation. Very odd.
After further testing, it seems that any not-researched secret tech is locked by default. In other words, an event is needed to unlock them.
This ignores released nations. I'm not quite sure how is determined then.

Hi Folks,
after more than a year I am just trying this mod again and I have the following noob issue: When I try to rename a Corps f.e. and I press "space"....then there is no space beetween the letters. Instead of that the time break ends and the game is running further. It seems to be an issue with this mod because I have no problems with renaming in vanilla or in TRP.
Any ideas?

I think some things can be changed in the mod, the first might be that Junkers is too strong and keeps conquering the FUSA every time. TC gets overloaded really easily thanks to the uber-high revolt risk, I think maybe the RR should be halved. This also causes problems when advancing to provinces because units are so slow - as soon as they get there they just get routed again. Maybe use the new 1.04 system of recovering organisation while marching? Otherwise it's a pain to wage war.
Apart from this of course it's without a doubt one of the best DH mods there is.

I agree that the Junkers are way too strong, and should either be nerfed or at least have a chance of not getting involved at all. As of a game I'm currently playing, the AI FUSA has reduced the Cathedral to two provinces, yet is being completely overrun by the Junkers. It might just be me, but something about that seems very wrong.
Wow, just found out FODD has been updated for 1.04RC1. There goes my studies now...
Honestly one of the top mods for DH ever (if not the top mod).
Thanks a lot.

I agree that revolt risk needs to be lowered, because as it is towards the late game when factions have large empires, they will almost always without fail split up their armies and have one unit in every province. This then results in them often being overwhelmed were they to be suddenly attacked, even if they are numerically superior. It also leaves them quite vulnerable to 'surgical strikes' by the player who can easily push through a few lightly defended provinces to capture strategically important ones such as the enemy capital before the AI has any chance of mobilizing all its far flung and spread out units.
I suspect it also makes the AI more passive the more land it takes. It may calculate that due to the high RR it needs to have a unit in each province and will only attack another faction once it has enough free units, even though the vast majority of those doing garrison duty are doing nothing. This I think prevents big empires going to war in the very late game.
Also, what's the deal with the Harliquins? They basically don't do anything. I have played as the New Mexican Republic, Broken Hills, Klamath, the Enclave and the Eastern BoS and not once have I ever seen the Harliquins do anything significant. Often as not they don't even get attacked by anyone either. They just sit out the whole game! I think they should be THE naval faction of the Southern/East coast. They should be pirate raiders that attack the coasts of other factions (although not necessarily their immediate neighbors), while having a heavily fortified New Orleans as their stronghold, which could also be surrounded by well fortified swap provinces. This would mean that on land they would be defensive, and not likely to annex other states, but they would be an absolute nuisance to any coastal faction, say for example there could be scripts saying you have been attacked by them that damage your coastal provinces that only stop once you have a strong naval presence to deter them or you capture New Orleans. As the game currently stands there is virtually no naval activity on the east/southern coast and the Harliquins do virtually nothing at all!
Also, to that effect are you guys planning on doing anything with Cuba? It's a bit sad just seeing it sit there, unloved

ok so that explains why i can never get any of those "Never Techs" to unlock when i'm wbos... haha
I don't know much about AI programming on this so I'll have to take your word on the former!I suspect it also makes the AI more passive the more land it takes. It may calculate that due to the high RR it needs to have a unit in each province and will only attack another faction once it has enough free units, even though the vast majority of those doing garrison duty are doing nothing.

Your idea for the Harlequins is pretty great, maybe we can make the events similar to slaving events.
As for the naval thing, it is possible to make conditions pending naval strength I suppose. Not a bad idea at all...
The only issue is I don't know if there is a way to make it affect only coastal stuff.
That said, the actual faction wouldn't really be doing anything except through events, maybe I'll poke around the AI file and see if I can encourage it to do more.
Also as for Cuba, it does need some attention. Maybe people can float some ideas about what to do with it?
I don't mind making a faction there but I'm pretty short of ideas on what to do with it as my Cuban history pretty much ends after Spain killed the natives there.
If we can have some good concepts and art, I don't see why it can't be added.

Neo-communist GHOUL state!
In the alternate history of the fallout world the bay of pigs invasion succeeded, I think. This means that an unpopular dictatorship would have been installed, making Cuba a US puppet again. As a result it is fair to say there would be an endless low-level communist Cuban insurgency. Cuba as a strategic naval base for US forces in the Caribbean would be heavily nuked by the Chinese, destroying the Cuban government and major urban centers, the only form of authority that survive are the communist Guerrillas who survive in the jungles and mountains, but are transformed into ghouls.
They are understandably VERY angry and can be akin to the RCC and NROM in that they will be completely against both the dictatorship or man and american unity. Perhaps Cuba, Mexico and Canada could form their own anti- American alliance?
Also either a province of Cuba or an island in the Caribbean could be given to the enclave as a secret base or some such, that way the Cuban ghouls will have to fight to control their immediate area before they can try and invade the mainland.
Being communists they would have the diversity social policy allowing them to recruit all races and should be opposed to slavery etc.
Hey guys, yes all the Secret Techs in the original Darkest Hour were locked. Same in the mod. The original game would unlock them via event. So that mechanic came over into the mod too. There was an event file which had all the events for unlocking the techs.
I can't remember exactly how they worked. I could look it up to find out if you want.
I'm downloading the latest version of the mod right now. Keen to try it out, actually! I'm kind of amazed the mod is still alive and kicking. Good stuff!
