Old ambitions for a new era

img1.jpg

This is my first AAR, I hope You would like it. English is not my first language, there might be some mistakes.
Austria is a small country, I have chosen the normal difficulty settings and A.I. aggressivness-aggressive.
I will try to make good story about the new Austria restoring the old territories. Its actions during these hard times, and above all - the dream of a new powerfull reborn empire.

Actually I'm playing dh full mode, so unfortunatly there will be not many events. Just an AAR full of action:).


The aar is not abbandoned, in 2020 the game will begin, with tens of new events, for a whole new adventure. It took me a long time, but now i found a great way to make the things work.

In past i've done only one successful Austria game, the only vanilla game where i was able to overcome all odds thru my sheer perseverance, skills, and strategic evaluation of the situation.
I tried to recreate this situation, however sadly i wasnt able to reach to these astonoshing results.
I will create events, for my game.
I had to make a difficult choice: create events till 1960, maybe 1970, but that would create a rabbit hole i wasnt able to come out for, well 4 years, even forgetting the aar for a couple a years, where i tried to recreate a megacampaing aar, yet another failed attempt, beacuse i was never content of results, this made start to learn modding.

So the choice, ive made, is to delete some vanilla events, leave the most generic ones and create procedually events as the game goes. This way i could have way more flexibility than ever, the act of modding would feel way less tedious and an impossible task.
Maybe i would be able to create many more events contrary to the standard procedure.

(description still work in progress)
English is not my native language so bear with me :)

I remember there was a wonderful Hoi2 mini-mod that enabled restoration of Habsburg Empire which even included the events that were synched with ones in neighbourhood, so Vienna could negotiate with 3rd Reich about the potential alliance and other political decisions. Nevertheless, even vanilla Austria can be fun, so good luck with restoration of the old glorious empire.

I remember that one as well, it was pretty neat.

Hey Fahlxer, you going to give Austria any custom claims or cores or anything?

In the dh full mode, Austria have 2 cores on Italy and some claim, but no more. I think , i will build only tanks :). Jokes apart, maybe i will add some events, but even in vanilla is very fun to play. I forget to say, that every country can declare war, even democracies, to make things more intersting.

I believe the Mixed Mod has a decision/event to recreate the Empire. I don't, however, believe it has any events leading up to that. You have to reconquer the Empire manually without any events leading in to it for the decision/event to restore the monarchy to appear

Unless there was another mod like that, you're refering to my mod. :)

OP, shouldn't you at least add all the cores?
