A Peace to end all Peaces- no WWI mod for HoI2 DD

[General_Grant]

Fernando Torres:

This frontend is perfect. I have nothing else to say about it, im amazed really, your great.

Merci beaucoup!


I have no ideas of quotes, if somebody want to suggest one maybe we'll see.


Since everyone want the title changed, if its easy remove the 's' from the last 'peace'. But if for it you have to remake it all then they'll do with it.




A last request, mr. Torres:

could you try to make an 'endgame' pannel?
Like that, that was from mod 1914 for a Central Power victory:

If you want to try to make one you could include some of the pictures of leader I suggested you for the loadscreen(wich is excellent without them).

For the Central Powers the main figures are Wilhelm II, Karl I, George VI, and Hirohito. The main nations are Germany, Austria-Hungary, the UK, and maybe Sweden and the Ottomans too.

For the Entente there could be Olga even if she's not alway choosen to rule Russia, the young prince Napoleon if you find a nice picture of him and maybe the king of Italy... the main nations are France, Russia, Italy and eventually Spain and Greece.

Making one for the last alliance wich is a coalition of American nation is not needed yet, very little hs been done regarding it. An 'endgame_quit' may also be done if you want to do so.


A last little thing:
If you could work out the main alliances 'pannels', like that:

Removing the ugly background would be needed, you could change it by a green backgroud of the weird gren than doesnt show in-game, or by the waving flag of the alliance leader (respectivly Imperial Germany, Napoleonic France and Isolationist USA).

And a big thank you for what have been done so far.

 

[Fernando Torres]

Endgame are special, i do them rarely.
And i can't do pannels. So for both i don't think i could help you.

About the name it's up to you. If you don't fine a quotation for the load screen i'll find one.

 

[Rekjavik]

Okay...I'll try again. How about a quote from Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana?

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."

I do love its sense of foreboding and its contrast to the title.

 

[Fernando Torres]

It's Platon quotation.
And this is what i've made.

 

[Fernando Torres]

@ General : you'll find the frontend, load and start here : http://www.sendspace.com/file/z4e0i3.

I will try to make a scenario icon when i'll have enough time. If you want something special to be put in tell me.

 

[General_Grant]

Can the loadscreen be the awesome one you made with the map, the medal, the bill and all that stuff? Just add the black line at the place it should be. I'd like to have it as a loadscreen because its better to look at it than to look at a quote on a black background when loading. Its not important if it pass over a paper or two.

 

[Fernando Torres]

It's up to you.

[General_Grant]

Thank you.

 

[Fgorginator]

Sorry for being totally ignorant. I can't seem to find out whether this works with Armageddon? Or is it just Doomsday?

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

I've gotten it to work with Armageddon just fine, although you do have to hit 'ignore' for the scenario error message at the beginning.

Just been playing this the last week ro so, lots of fun, excellent job all around. I was wondering though about the wisdom of Germany declaring war on the Netherlands and Luxembourg rather than trying to ally with them. One wold think the Dutch would be more afraid of the French than the Germans, especially given France's annexation of Belgium and wold likewise be likely to seek German protection. Just a thought.

Excellent mod btw again! Hopefully I've have something serious done soon

Playing V0.3, its 1943, and theres been a few hiccups. After the Russian defeat, Finland is released then annexed, but Finland isn't full size nor includes aaland, so Sweden gets some odd provinces.

Why does the Ottoman empire get Libya? I took and lost men tring to conquer it

Finally, when an event fires that I'm guessing white Russia losses the war, it freezes. Im going to delete the event now, but what does it do? Is it necccessary and why does it break?

 

[General_Grant]

I was out for two days so I could no repply.


Fgorginator: It was made for Doomsday but works with Armagaddon, according to some players.


EmprorCoopinius: Germany's attitude toward the Benelux is scripted within the AI, I can little about it. Maybe i'll make events for the Netherlands to seek German protection.


Gigalocus: Thanks for the positive comments.

I'll see again about Finland and its province. The Ottoman Empire get Lybia because:
1. The OE is the main Mediteranean ally of Germany, and as it lost it only in the 1910's it still have claims on it.
2. It needs some spoils, and only small parts of the Caucasus won't be enough.
3. making Lybia independent would create a precedent and would be dangerous for collonialism overall.

Of course it could go to Britain, but do London really want it?..

As for the end of the civil war events I found the problem:

event = { 
	id = 870018
	random = no
	country = RUS
	
	trigger = {
		war = { country = SOV country = RUS }
		control = { province = 187 data = SOV }
		control = { province = 175 data = SOV }
		control = { province = 163 data = SOV }
		control = { province = 1572 data = SOV }
		control = { province = 1548 data = SOV }
	} 
	
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
	offset = 7
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }

	name = "White Surrender"
	desc = "It is hopeless to continue the fight."	
	
	action_a = {
		name = "We surrender!"
		command = { type = trigger which = 870019 }
	}
}
event = { 
	id = 870019
	random = no
	country = SOV
	
	#

	name = "Red Victory"
	desc = "At last Russia is internally united! "

	action_a = {
		name = "Hurrah!"
		command = { type = inherit which = [U]SOV[/U] }
	}
}

I guess SOV inheriting SOV won't work, change the last to RUS and it will work. Everyone should change it, it is the last event of the 'russia' event file. Its fixed for next version now.

Oh and btw did the Civil War lasted long enough or it was too easy for a side or another?

Oh, in regards to Finland, I noticed that before, but forgot to mentíon it.
The Grand Duch of Finland, however, has the full set of cores (including the ones that overlap with Russia's, ironically enough).

As for the Ottoman Empire gaining Libya: they are the ones with the best claim to it, really. Who do you think the Italians took it from?
And to compound it, the main reason why the Ottomans lost was that one of the Balkan Wars started at the same time, so they had to withdraw...

No, I Know why they might have it. Its just I was the one how took it, and italy, and Russia now that I think of it.

About the civil war. We finally won september 1942. (Russia was literallying winning on 5 fronts; In Finland, across east Europe, Japan landed in Crimea, Afganistan area, and Vladivostok area)

The evnt first fired on March 20 1943, but due to the evnt crashing, i had to reload, where it happened again in mid-may.

The war turned out much like the last one did. Soviet did IMO control abit too much land at the start, and Russia has no real land to luanch from, instead lots of one province areas (I think it should be the otherway around)

Also, I forgot to add, there was a bug in the italian civil war. The war started shortly after Italian defeat (Early 1941) the Kingdom of Italy was much better then the republic, forcing the republic into controling land just north of a River (Still controlled Milan, provvince above Geneva, and small areas around ferra) it stayed this way until late 1943. When despite Italy 'winning' (Despite the 3 year long stand still) Republic of Italy got an event called 'Victory' and annexed the Kingdom, and essiantialy win the war.

I'll have a look at those events later...

Any news regarding the British events you wanted to made?...


To everybody: I need your event suggestions! For now im not lacking time but ideas for the events.

Maybe a way for Scandinavia to be formed?
Unrest in Trento if Italy joins the war on the Entente side?
Maybe a flavour event about Pan-Germanism (a Nationalist ideology stating that all Germanic states should unite) ?

 

[Scorpi]

Events for a unfied Quing empire to strike a alliance with either alliances..

Well I've got my final exam until may tomorrow, but afetr that I'll have alot more free time to improve on the quantity and quality of what I have.

I personally believe you need more events for the post-war. Germany took 20 years to re-arm and do their thing again. France & Russia, or Germany & Britain need to do something similar.

Germany & Britain would go Nationalist, France & Russia should go Communist or Socialist..
