After months of work by me and Guglie_, I present the 1.0 version of Project Italy. It's fully playable with any vanilla scenario, and bug-free as far as I could see. The most requested feature, besides the 99,9% accurate thousands of historical ministers and leaders with pictures which was my goal when I first started this project, is a tweaked Italian Surrender event. Now, Germany shouldn't get Libya back from the Allies when Italy surrenders and the RSI is created.
There might be something wrong, and there are definitely some more elements that I want to work on, but I'm releasing this to have some feedback from players.

how to install:
- If you don't have any other mod installed, just copy the content of the folder in your Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full folder (but you might want to make a backup copy of the Darkest Hour Full folder because some of the files will be overwritten)
- If you want to play this mod combined with other (WW1/2 centered) mods, you have to check if there are any conflicts between the files of this mod and the files of the other mod(s). For example, if you're playing with a mod that uses custom models for Germany, manually copy the models for the Italian countries from my models file into the models file of that mod (or copy the German models from that mod into my file). If you need help just ask me.
