It's only four pages of nine (for now I'm on 1618, so it's a loooong reading, really)

Current World Situation:
In the year 1933 world is very unstable place. Few powers struggling for their place under sun, many country have agresive neighbors, unsolved border disputes with them, or just unstable domestic situation. Just watch the Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth. It's placed between rock and a hard place. Surrounder from all sites by newly renowed Tripple Alliance members, and their puppets. Only one save border is with Moldavia, which is however hardly influenced by Russian Empire, and as so, even they can invade PLRC. They can harldy fell save from Livonia, Swedish client state, site, as they see Courland (which PLRC control) as party of their country. It seems only hope for PLRC existance is alliance with French Republic. Exactly, FR is the greatest power current world know. They have a lot of client stats, as well as many colonies all over the world. They are promise of peace on the world, at last after they defeated Germany in 1871 and cut down their size to Prussia state. But. Situation is unstable. As long as FR is victorious, country prospere very well, but if they lose some big war, for example (yes it's only example, not that only possible conflict) with Tripple Alliance between Prussia, Austria and Russia, they can expload. Lively communist moods in neighbour south German countries could find fertile land in defeted France. Also nationalists have their supporters between many French people. Some (little group) want return of Bourbons, some feel like new Bonaparte Emperor would play his role. In any way, France must be victorious, or is doomed to fell down. Prussia however is on the rising tide. They were able to make economical boom in last years, and now rebuilding their army against 1871 peace terms, not being disturbed by anyone. They have a support of their once bitter rivals, Austrian Empire, as well as old friends from Russia. Will France stop them befor it'll be too late? Or will world see the total war? As about Austria, they seems to have a frequently problems with Hungarians. They even thinking abot giving them some kind of autonomy, but I was thinking, that this Idea was dead from a years. Also, they have problems with Italian subjects on Austrian Italy lands near Venece. If Italy somehow unite after all this years, Austria will have a problem. Italian people see even south Tyrol as part of Italy! Italy, Italy. They are divided between fewmayor powers, like Piedmont, Lombardy, Papal State, and Two Sicilies. Also smaller state Tuscany, and city of Venece have something to say in Italy. Piedmont have a quiet powerful (for it's size) economy and army, same's go to Lombardy. Papal state and Two Sicilies are poorer, but not without chance to unite Italy. Tuscany and Venece, as quiet rich, have smaller armies and can't have hope to fight back against main powers in region. However, if they play good alliance game, they can actually win this partie. Scandinavia is full of contradictions. From one hand, many people would like to see it united as one country, form the other hand, Danemark and Sweden fight for their spher of influance in region as well as fighting with separatistic moods of Finns and Norwegians. Will it lead to anything good? [more in way]

Wow! Wow! WOW! I like it!
 
Working on events, countries, tech teams, and else. If you want help me guys, PM me!
If you want someone to help you , my advise for you would be to complete the timeline and give general context of the possible conflict that could arise and why would it arise. So it would be easier to create events in this context. Also it would be easier if you would separate each continent and write a short story about it why it is different in your timeline - like for example Africa - what happened to it , Was there even scramble for Africa and etc.

Also I wouldnt mind seeing clashes of ideologies , like as I am reading , monarchies are still strong in 1936 , so why not throw socialists or republicans trying to overthrow them
 
Wow, good advices are welcome here! I have to write my timelines in my pace, because I just have to write it very detailed, but clash of ideologies sounds good for me! I'll do my best to bring this mod to live, I promise! I'll try to add "short" current situation story.

Other thing , you could set objectives for yourself , like start with easiest ones like just adding ministers and leaders, after that tech teams , then the army placement , starting ai and lastly events and ai events. This way if you have more finished product with screenshots and etc you will be able to attract more people to it. Also , go to local history forum in paradox plaza and ask specific questions of what ifs, people usually help there. Also go to http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page from there you could get some inspirations .
 
I would really appreciate some help with events. I can create them, but I don't know where I should add them...

Just start creating event files for different countries (or you can put them in one single file, whatever) in the db/events path, put the events you've made into them and then add the files' names into the events.txt file so that the game reads the files and fires the events. It's no rocket science.

Example: you have an event file called spain.txt. The line you should put into events.txt would thus be event = "db\events\spain.txt".
