i have grown very tired of trying to love HOI3, AOD is just a better game overall and it actually has diplomacy so i am going to help out here till there is another payforpatch/expansion that fixes the diplomacy and all the rest for hoi 3
 
Since Darkest Hour is going to feature a WW1 campaign it looks like it would be possible to simply use the map/OOBs/tech trees from DH (although you're going to have to buy DH) and mate them to the AoD engine.
 
I can also imagine to spend some time modding for this Project.
Is there a developer version anywhere ?

Spocky
 
arturus had one i think, but he has gone on to DH to work for them.

i love AOD and really want to get a working ww1 mod for it since it beats hoi 3 any day of the week hands down
 
well guess someone has to reboot this so why not me...

Ships; update later
 
minor update

about finished with leader id's
next up is fixing other critical errors and then on to redo all AI's for AOD
 
thanks, PB-DK and good luck!

i never played those ww1 mods, but i'll definately give it a go once you're through!
 
PB-DK, what still needs to be done? What can I do?

*To all - WWI mod SPRITES - need to be renamed as to overwrite DD/ARM vanilla sprites - they are currently only named to overwrite HOI 2 vanilla sprites - some sprites were renamed w/ the release of DD* Still confused? PM me for clarification, as well as a link to the WWI sprites.

You know I will always support this mod.
 
I never play with sprites :D so i have not noticed them...

I have attemted to fix the files but i still get some crashes that i am working on locating but i am sure i am close to success now (i hope)

* am currently writing and redoing all techs to streamline them and get them all in working order, they need to get a major overhaul
* have begun work on some AI files and have a plan for them

i have not considered sprites nor graphics yet (i am a counters kind of guy ;))

could you start working on those sprites? i should have something like a functioning version out later this month hopefully and we can work from there.
there are a lot of events that need to be checked and probably rewritten manually after that, getting some help on that would be most appreciated

1898 to 1936 timeframe, though there will be techs outside it (particular pre'89 industrial techs)
 
I'll look, PB DK, but as of the last 4 times I've tried, it just seems to be, one confusing mess..
 
as i am on vacation now, things should start to move again.

about 75% done with naval unit techs so far.
looking into land doctrines for militia and irregulars now
