Kind of curious. Why do you have to make a copy of your game, instead of just putting the mod in the mod folder?

The mod that you download is just that, the modified files. The download would be unnecessarily large if it included the base game as well as the modified files.

I did download fresh 1.04, copy, put in the downloaded file and upon running the campaign I get excel not found, gg wp crash. ???

Sounds like a bad installation.

1: Copy a clean install and unmodified version of Darkest Hour Full 1.04 RC1 and rename it "Fatherland".
2: Download the mod.
3: Copy contents of the downloaded archive into the newly copied directory (agree to replace all the files when asked).

What a great mod!!! But there are still a lot of things to do ...
I'm curious about what ideas you'll be putting in motion for the next version(if you do have the time to work on this), but that being said, there are things that need to be thought over:

-first, you MUST help the danish IA to join the war on the side of Germany, because otherwise, it leads to an exotic allied naval invasion of Pomerania(Helsinki invasion everyone?)
- in the same idea, you must help the german IA to build garnison to protect: Poland (high dissent attracts like 15-20 div here), its coast(to make allied landing more difficult), and its puppet(RK norway destroyed by UK and almost destroyed RK Flanders everyone?)
-allow the annexation of mongolia as mongolia SSR (like "eastern turkestan"), because, playing as soviet russia, i doubt that there is any interest in keeping them alive
-allow the "communist" northern vietnam to join the communist camp ( to gain allies to figth the "capitalists pigs" :)), and more generally, allow the rise of communist/ communist friendly government for the post war period(per example for the new countries in Africa)

-maybe more aggressive/reactive IA for the reich allies? (in one of my game as soviet russia, an english army has been trapped in Bulgaria (inland) and lasted until the end of the war, and Finland failed to drive back the english in Norway)

-and, after the end of "WWIII"(more like the prolongation of WWII), allies should return russian/soviet land back to its owner (border would be the same as 1939 i think, or maybe with independent Ukraine and Belarus)

And to conclude, why the fuc* does "Vichy France" be TOTALLY independent? I mean, in 1942, historically, Vichy France was only merely a name ( german troops having invaded the "free" part of France), and thus, having an independent and NEUTRAL France is a big problem, either make them a puppet of Germany (with high dissent thanks to the french "résistance" backed by the allies(at least free France), because i think an allied backed resistance movement would be the tiniest problem of post WWII Germany), or an independent nation allied with Germany (like Romania, Hungary, Italy)(plus, having the germanophile/nazi friendly Laval as head of state...).

Conclusion bis: allied of Germany having only 1939 like level of technology is obviously wrong, them having 1942 level would be logical (or 1945 depending on their strong point, per example Hungary would have 1945 medium tank ( 44m TAS))

And if you say that if i want these change, i should make them myself, i'm planning on working on how to mod this game after my exams ( in 2 weeks or so), and so, maybe i'll be able to lend you a hand;)!

This looks like an amazing mod only if I could play it. All of my files are blocked because they are from another computer. I tried changing my security policies in win 7 but they are still there. If any knows or has a link to fix this it would greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS: I'm going through every file and unblocking them one by one manually, but its taking forever and my arm feels like it is about to fall of because of all the clicking.

Ok I found a solution for that problem.
  1. hit windows key and r key at same time or simply start then serch
  2. run gpedit.msc
  3. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
  4. Enable: Do not preserve zone information in file attachments
  5. Only works for future downloads
  6. If already downloaded, delete, and re-download
  7. Files should be unblocked now

So, now that my exams are finally finished (waiting for the results but oh well), and that i read all the eventmaking guide, i can begin to work a little on this baby. But first, a few question for the devs, have you began to work on soviet union event chain? (and so, that of its neightbour?), and, did you begin to modify the starting tech as well? (just so that i know where i can begin)

Hi guys. I played a couple of games in your mod and want to tell you my impressions. For the first time I played for communist China and won a Civil war- and I liked almost everything- the world is alive, something is always happening in the world-of course-mostly in europe. But in 1951 happened one thing which spoiled evrything- USA began war against Reich...and won it in two moths. I was totally shocked. But than i realaised the reason-almos all German Army was standing on the border with USSR.I understand-USSR could be dangerous opponent, but when the enemy is almost in Berlin, keep nearly 200 divisions on the border with the country you are not at war at all-this is more than stupid.

After that I decided to test USSR-at first everythig was OK-i reunited Turkestan, Russian Empire,East Turkestan, Mongolia and Siberian Democretic Republic. But just a month after the time I defeated Far East Republic everything gone mad.
Nationalis China decleared a war to me! It wouldnt be a problem, but they are in Allies! So I am in war against almost whole world,exapt Europe (and nationalists won chineese civil war, co communist china cant help me)
I read-the event is "The Dragon and the Bear"-and after that event China always decleares a war to USSR(i played this moment for 15times-and China always decleares a war)-but this doesen`t make any sense at all! China is at war for nearly 35 years- since 1917(beginning of civil war) till 1951(end of civil war)-and they already lost millions of people! They should dream about peace, they should seek peace to restore their long term suffered country-but they always decleare war.
So i ask you to fix it-for example, to make really little chance to decleare war.
