Then again, if "The Great US Coup" succeeds, maybe the US can become the aggressor, attempting to take over Mexican Empire as part of General MacArthur's vision of a US span across both North And South America?

I think that even for MacArthur North America would do, This time war with Canda and thus with British would be thought to Win aganist Royal Navy and its allies.

Nah I am really tired. See ya tomorrow.

... Royal Army ...

Just a small thing, it's just the British Army, a leftover present from Oliver Cromwell.

Furthermore, I'd suggest not changing the name of the MOD, because I thought it up ;) Which you can go ahead and use by the way ;) Anything based of the excellent PTEAP can have my first born child as far as I'm concerned ;)

Also, back when PTEAP was around, I created an (Impressive :p) British OOB. I don't actually have it, but a forumer named Carlstadt Boy does as far as I know.

Not quite sure where it'll fit in with your version of the British Empire, but it's definately looking into, even if just for the first version. It included acurate army postioning/names, a historical mix of real, IRL scuttled and fictional ships to the RN to give it more of a historical feel over the WWI influenced Vanilla fleet. But, then like I said, you'll have to contact Carlstadt Boy if you want it.

Good luck.

What about just making the slightest change in its name? To replace "That" with "A". A War That Never Was. It shows the continuity and at the same time symbolizes it's not the same project.

Well, it comes from an AAR of mine of PTEAP, 'Looking on The War That Never Was'. So it works in anyway really, as long as it's grammatically correct.

But then, my comment was mostly just a joke, it's not my MOD, it can be named whatever the modders' desire really ;) Of course, my name is better then anything anyone else could come up with :eek:o

Actually I knew the origin. ;)

And my suggestion has some logic too. :)

apartment building in the middle of Washington DC, a look of horror on their faces. Nonone dared speak after hearing what the oil magnate had to say: 'The US is dead. Reds run amok in the streets
protesting for higher wages. Those sick people who call themselves government officals are getting soft towards the nations true goals. Our own citizens seem to be more supportive of the
Kaiser then of the President. Gentlemen, in short I suggest we take action. On election day, Americans will bow down before their true leaders. We will make this dead nation into an
economic and military superpower. Mark my words.' The oil magnagetes message was clear: a new regime was to be put in place. But how?
The Cabal has four distinct plans they perfer to persue right now which will decide the fate of the United States. As the leader of the Cabal, you must choose wisely. The fate of the nation
is in your hands."

Some small words of advice when it comes to "events":

1. If you want long event descriptions, put them in a config file (i.e. event_txt.csv) in order to have them show up correctly in game (don't know the limit but think it's something like a 500 character limit to writing the event_desc directly into the event". Instead, write EVENT_XXX_DESC and have it corresponded to EVENT_XXX_DESC in event_text.csv

2. Try to make the action_X as short as possible. Those you did now (action_d atleast) won't show up in it's full and that's a shame but not so much to do anything about..

present from Oliver Cromwell.
The King is dead! Long live the King!
Good luck.
I am touched by your recepton of it noble sire, many thanks.

Those other names are actually names of versions:

version 0.2 would be "War in the Garden of Eden"
version 0.4 would be "The Edge of the Cloud""
version 0.6 would be "Some Desperate Glory"
version 0.8 would be "The Eye in the Door"
version 1.0 would be "Shape of things to come"

but we have long way until 1.0.
0.2 would be less or more an patched and upgraded PTEAP 0.62
For those that are curious 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, shall be bugfixes

Have the modding team established?
Three of us are already an modding team but we do not have anything aganist anyone who would like to contribute don't we?

Here's a way (well, exactly three of them) the minister pics will look like:

1) with thin golden frame
2) with fatter golden frame
3) with fatter non-golden frame (my favourite so far)
