I've mostly been modding personal stuff- when I posted this I had just found the Haven again after searching for an hour. I was trying to make a pro-Finland event chain for the winter war, as in one of my games Finland captured Murmansk and most of the USSRs Scandinavian territory, and had a huge force bound for Leningrad. I figured that, in real life, the USSR may have given up, so I made a little event chain which gave the USSR the option to cede territory to Finland in exchange for not losing Leningrad. Acceptance gave a minor dissent hit and lost territory, declining gave the same dissent boost but gave the Finns and Swedes a decent bit of aid and if, having declined, Leningrad was lost, the USSR would get a major dissent hit.
As for larger projects, I have two things working very slowly:
A Cold War Extension (basically, reworking the tech tree to last up through the 1980s or so, a few event chains, and extending the expiration on many random events far beyond their current 1947 date.)
An Alternate History Pack (The idea is, give a number of scenarios based on different outcomes of different prior wars. Right now, I have two started- a Serbian/French win but British and Russian loss in WW1, and an Austrian win in WW1. ................. In the former, Serbia extends it's power across the Balkans, creating quite a strong empire. Russia wins, but attempts to annex too many nationalities and collapses in a huge ethnic civil war, complete with a very fun event chain (fun for everyone but the Russians, that is). France took a great deal of German territory, and has to deal with extreme German anger- terrorism and the like. Britain suffered three major defeats- an invasion (although failed) by the Germans, a loss to Afghanistan in India, and a nasty war with the Irish. Meanwhile, the Spanish Civil War is much more interesting, as I've included much more drastic intervention by six powers (Germany, Serbia, Italy, Britain, Portugal, and France) and World War is triggered by the German invasion of the Wien Republic (The Austrian heartland occupied by Russia in the Great War), an ally of Serbia. ................. In the latter, Britain and France got off pretty easy in their loss in WW1, but Russia lost a lot of land, including Poland, the Baltic, and much of Belorussia. Italy too was pretty beat-up. Meanwhile, a major pan-European self-rule movement similar to that in 1848 has led to a number of fragile states muddying the political waters. I may put a thread up in the modding forums, as I'd like to see other modders' Alt. Hist. scenarios as well. I just don't know if I'd get enough response. Damn HoI2, stealing so many good modders!
)
Anyways, neither the CW Extension nor the AltHist Pack is very well developed at the moment, so I haven't put up any threads. They both began as personal things- wanting to continue the resurgence of Turkey after a great game started the Extension, and a fun game of People's Tactics inspired the Serbian Empire scenario in the A.H. Pack- and have kind of developed into more open-ended projects (ie, not determining events based on my own ideas of what SHOULD happen, so that it fits other players' results as well as my own)
