I'm going to be scrapping my Modern Day mod for the most part, due to the porting of MDS2 it doesn't seem necessary at this current time. So I've taken the time to create a new mod, this mod being alternate history based mostly on a history where the shogun still rules Japan, and where the United States stayed neutral in foreign affairs (Mainly WW1).

Timeline (Work in Progress):
1868: Boshin War begins between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Imperial Court, the French intervene on Tokugawa's side
1869: Boshin War ends in a Tokugawa victory, and the shogun still reigns supreme in Japan.
1898: Spanish-American war doesn't happen, president William McKinley decides to stay out of Spain's colonial affairs, as a result, the Spanish still retain control over the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. The Cuban revolts are put down by Spanish troops, and they retain control over Cuba with an iron fist.
1904: Russo-Japanese war doesn't happen, Japan stays out of mainland Asian affairs.
1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated in Sarajevo. World War I begins. Russia launches it's offensive into East Prussia, and is thrown back in a decisive defeat at the Battle of Tannenburg. Britain asks for Japanese intervention against Germany, but Japan refuses to intervene, which is very costly for Japanese-Entente relations.
1915: Trench warfare rages onward on the Western Front, Germany makes some gains but they are miniscule. Austria-Hungary and Germany make a push on the Eastern Front, taking control of most of Poland. The Brusilov offensive is thrown back, and the Russians are pushed back into Ukraine. Serbia is attacked by a combined German-Austrian-Bulgarian offensive and the Serbian army retreats to Albania. The Lusitania isn't sunk. Italy and Romania remain neutral. The British Raj revolts from the United Kingdom, and forms the Socialist Republic of India and the Kingdom of Burma. Receiving a large amount of support on the home-front, and supplies from the Central Powers, sent through Persia and Afghanistan, India and Burma manage to wage a successful colonial revolution against the United Kingdom.
1916: Battle of the Somme ends in a stalemate, with neither side making any decisive gains. Russian revolution begins, major armed revolts across Russia take place. Peace is signed with the Central Powers, which is given Poland (1936 borders) and the Baltic states. Indian revolution ends in an Indian-Burmese victory, and they successfully achieve independence. Bulgaria, with Central Powers support, successfully pressures Romania into giving up Dobruja.
1917: War rages indecisively onward on the Western Front, reinforcements brought in from the Eastern Front even make little impact on Germany's war effort.
1918: Germany's Spring Offensive is launched (Kaiserschlacht), and German forces almost reach Paris. The offensive is dubbed a success, but it has exhausted Germany's logistics and morale. Meanwhile, unrest in Poland causes Germany to grant them autonomy as a German puppet, due to their inability to deal with a revolt in this time. Unrest also tackles Austria-Hungary, and protests against the Austrian kaiser break out in Budapest and Prague.
1919: Trench warfare once again dominates the Western Front, neither side makes any gains this year. Unrest in Austria-Hungary spreads to it's South Slavic territory, and revolts break out in Serbia and Bosnia. The communist revolts in the Russian Empire loose steam and die down as Lenin is captured and publicly hanged. Trotsky, Stalin, and many other communist revolutionaries are imprisoned for their crimes. Civil War breaks out in Austria-Hungary. Romania crosses the Austrian border and takes over Bukovina, Austria doesn't need another war to worry about so they let Romania take the region.
1920: Peace talks for the Great War begin in Rotterdam, Holland. Britain and Germany agree upon a white peace for the Western Front, this enrages France as they gain nothing out of the war in Europe. Germany is to give over it's African colonies to the British and French, but is allowed to retain it's Asian and Pacific colonies. Poland becomes independent from Germany along with the Baltic states, Germany retains control over Memel and the Polish Corridor. An uneasy peace in Europe ensues. The Ottoman Empire loses control of Transjordan and Iraq, but is allowed to keep Syria-Lebanon. Romania attacks the newly formed Hungary in Transylvania, and leads a successful campaign.
1921: Treaty of Rotterdam is signed along the lines agreed the previous year. France and Russia, both disappointed from gaining little from the war, form a Coalition against any type of German expansion. Serbia becomes internationally recognized, but Bulgaria retains Macedonia, and Hungary retains Vojvodina. Romania signs a peace treaty with Hungary and manages to regain territory conquered the previous year. Parts of Transylvania which was inhabited by Hungarians, despite being conquered by Romania, remained under Hungarian control, as a result of the treaty.
1922: Russia, eager to retake territory lost in the great war, starts the Russo-Polish War. The Kingdom of Croats, Slovenes, and Serbs refuses union with Serbia under Yugoslavia. Slovenia is enraged by this failure and leaves union with Croatia, Bosnia does the same. Croatia later invades Slovenia and installs a puppet government. Bosnia avoids Croatian invasion by promising not to ally the Serbs. Civil War in Austria-Hungary ends. Austria and Hungary reform into seperate countries. With the pressure of Germany, Austria is allowed to retain Trento and the Sudetenland. Bohemia-Moravia and Slovakia become independent.
1924: Russo-Polish War ends in a Semi-Russian victory. Russia successfully takes over Eastern Poland and Eastern Galicia, but loses a large amount of troops in the process.
1925: Milan Nedic takes power in Serbia and establishes a Fascist Government. Ante Pavelic, a Croatian Nationalist and Fascist, takes power in Croatia and establishes the Independent State of Croatia, promising to take back Bosnia. Serbia's government promises to take over the rest of the Yugoslavs and establish a Fascist Yugoslavia.
1935: Revolt breaks out in Indochina against French rule.
1936: Unrest in Hungary starts to break out, the local Communists are causing dissent in Serbia and Hungary.
Here are the factions:
Central Powers: German Empire, Austria, Ottoman Empire
Allies: United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa
Coalition: France, Russia
The map is not completely finished, so bear with me, there have been a lot of last minute changes to the map and the Orders of Battle are not finished either. A lot of events are done though, with the help of 2 of my friends we have been cranking out events like madmen. Most of the events will be decision based except for a select few, giving the player the choice of choosing what he want's to do with his specific nation.
I was greatly inspired by the Kaiserreich and Bonaparte Legacy mods to start this project, so some influence in that respect will probably be noticeable. Let me know what you think
