Gathering info for my Mod

[unmerged(58263)]

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a modern-day modification with a first-version release-date of around January 1st (if all goes as planned).

Just a few questions on limitations I might encounter:

1) Is there a definite province limit?

2) Is there a limit to the number of Infantry/Armor/Aircraft varieties?

3) With Techapps (e.g. FRA, Eastern Minor, Commonwealth) is there any limit/scope with regards to new versions?

4) Is there a total nation number limit?

5) Is there a limit to the number of 'Revolt' candidates?

I realise most of this is stuff I can work out for myself, but I was just hoping to save some time should any of you more experianced modders have the awnsers handy.

Cheers,

Silver

There is a mod already dedicated to the modern era.

It's in the Other mods and projects section called Modern Day Scenario 2.

1) Is there a definite province limit?

there are 2608 provinces possible.

2) Is there a limit to the number of Infantry/Armor/Aircraft varieties?

There is a limit of 310 levels if you wanna use the model.bmp pics.
Without there is no limit ( except code limitations probably at above 512 or 1024)

3) With Techapps (e.g. FRA, Eastern Minor, Commonwealth) is there any limit/scope with regards to new versions?

Is limited by the size of the Techscreen, but you can invent new techs by event, too.

4) Is there a total nation number limit?

number of nations is fixed on the given number.

5) Is there a limit to the number of 'Revolt' candidates?

Don't know, but see 4)

Yours Jaegerfeld

How many are currently in use? The Middle East, South America and Africa all need some serious attention. At worst I guess i'll cannibalise from Eastern Europe.

Good news. For what I want to do that should be absolutely fine. Fortunately in the modern day and age there simply aren't that many major arms exporting nations

number of nations is fixed on the given number.

Could you clarify this? Does that mean 175, as in the previous game, or basically as many as you damned well please (as long as you bother to change the number )

I'm well aware of it and frankly it isn't what i'm looking for. I have a full private brief of my mod, but I don't want to reveal the extent of it until I have at least 30% of it complete.

Suffice to say my mod isn't focused on precipitating any particuler conflict but rather providing an economic, military and political simualtion for 2010 onwards. Sort of a sandbox HOI mod.

Lots more focus on and fleshing-out of smaller political entities (including literally hundreds of Revolt prospects).

One of the first changes I hope to implement will be to make each infantry 'unit' the equivilent of a brigade, rather than a division - allowing for pitched battles on a smaller budget.

Also a mandatory minimum of 1 industrial production value per space... although the cost of units/techs/reasources/other spaces will be scaled up accordingly and be more representative of the local economy rather than industry.

Cheers,

Silver

look at the province.csv (db folder). There are 2608 provinces with a few unused.

There are 185 countries in the country.csv(db) with a few unused (the 19 U types) also check worldnames.csv in the config folder

Yeeeesssss.... i've already had a thorough search through the wiki and it doesn't provide much info on the hardcoded limits.

Maybe i'll just assume I can add as many countries as I want
