where can i mod the alien faction? i cant find any file to mod their national provinces. I looked in the 1936 senenario folder, but i found nothing. also, where can i mod flanders' national provinces?

You can mod Flanders' provinces in Doomsday/db/revolt.txt.

I'm not sure, but I think you'd first have to create an Alien nation using one of the unused country tags before you could start tinkering with their provinces.

The aliens' tag is ALI

The aliens' tag is ALI

Ahh, so then all you'd need to do is define their provinces in Doomsday/db/revolt.txt.

You can also create Minister/Leader/Tech Team lists for them if you really want to.

Lets look at Afghanistan for example...

AFG = {

This is the TAG for the country, so to add one for the Aliens you would start with ALI = {

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }

This is the first date that the country can be released

	expirydate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 }

This is the last date the country can be released

	minimum = { 1486 }

You have to control (not own, just control) these provinces in order to "liberate" them

	extra = { 1493 1492 1484 }

These provinces will be given to them when you release them IF you control them when you release them

	capital =  1486

This will be their new capital.

	}

Don't forget this...
Now here is the funny part...If any of the provinces in the above list are your NATIONAL territories (as long as one of them ISN'T), you can still release them, they (usually) won't get the provinces, which can lead to some bizarre situations...

For Example...In vanilla, the USSR can release a Lithuania that will have Memel and the provinces in pre-war Poland that were claimed by Lithuania...but with the core of Lithuania still being part of the USSR...
