1914 map into DH full

[Easy1]

Seems I was not the only one stunned when hearing and seeing Mumia is working on a new and improved map for the 1914 mod. The number of provinces is a perfect hybrid between that of HOI3 and DH vanilla in my opinion. As DH's map already is based on Mumia's E3 map, any chance we would see it implemented into DH in distant future (a bit more polished according to DH style with striped province borders etc)? At least, maybe some level of cooperation can take place between the 1914 mod and DH in this regard?

Oh yes. We need this.
At the very least someone with map expertise should import this map to DH Full, as I for one play very few WW1 games.

Absolutely brilliant!

Just a blank map will surely blow my mind

 

[Arturius]

As I am involved in both projects I can say:

1) with high probability this map will not find a way in DH. DH has its own map creators and they never stopped designing. There are different philosophies between both maps.
2) AFAIK mumia is trying to keep compatibility between E3-map and DH-Full's 1936 scenario.
3) E3-map is not designed for WW1-timeframe only. mumia is considering WW2 and modern day borders too.

I think the question should be left here:

Will the South China Sea get attention in the map?

Mumia's map is really good for Battlescenarios. For 1914/1936, adapting such a large map requires a dedicated team to convert tons of events, to change the map db, to balance resources, to balance IC cost, TC cost, etc., etc. There probably will be an conversion made by modders, but I don't know how likely it is the DH Team will put it into Vanilla.

Personally, I think that if I weren't playing a Battle scenario, I wouldn't want the large map. The amount of clicks I need to up infrastructure and AA just makes me shudder. Unless there's a "automaxbuild in region" shortcut I'm not aware of....not to mention as a modder, the number of secedeprovince = <BLAH>, or addcore= <BLAH>, or just defining .incs....would not want to do it outside of a battlescenario.

Yes, there should be some changes, both land provinces and sea-zones will be redrawn, for example to represent all or almost all claims of China, Vietnam or Malaysia on islands in that area like here:

DH get's political

DH get's political

I'm not sure If I should even ask, but in what way?

Contested claims to the islands/atolls and surrounding sealanes.
Check the following:

Correct me if I'm wrong, whatguts.

 

[whatguts]

i really have no idea, except that Asia is becoming more polarized

 

[Gwax23]

Im fine with the current DH map save for a few minor areas. No need for a change IMHO

South American Player here.

have to say the south american portion of the map, specially the area around chile, argentina and uruguay is pretty.....unfinished.

I believe Darkest Hour should use the provinces/portions the Victoria Revolutions map uses. How come countries like Argentina gets less provinces than Italy or Spain, being bigger? Plus, it makes wars between the neighbouring states static.

South America is getting addressed, just not anytime soon.

I would want to convert this map for a MDS scenario.

 

[unmerged(434567)]

Any one would like to convert this map into DH-style? That's included DH-style fonts in the map , DH-style island (eg,magnified Gilbratar).......I am looking forward to
seeing this real-DH-E3 map appeared to the DH-fans around the globe.

it would be nice for a new map with more detail for Dh but it would require so much time from the devs who are already buried in work that it won't happen, it MIGHT happen if the modding community here gathers together to do it for them which would mean putting on hold about 90% of all the mods out there, and lets face it that's not going to happen because then they'll need to be converted too. imagine trying to convert AAR and NWO aswell as DHfull. It would be very time consuming. using it for the MDS scenarios which haven't fully taken of is the best option at the moment..
