HoI3 Idea: Easy Nation Making

[unmerged(84988)]

Are you like me? Do you want to make a nation specially for an AAR but yet all the code is Japanese to you? Well here's my idea: A Nation maker.

I propose that it have a field for country name, shield file, flag file, and a field to scroll around the map and select provinces for the nation. Obviously there will be a field for minister pictures, names, etc. Also, in the province selection area, you can right click and select a province as a capital, add IC, make it a core, etc.

For me it's hard to do all the file edits and things like that. Of course you can select a three-letter short thing like UIE for the files and stuff, and everything else. I also think something like that would be nice for other aspects of editing and modding.

What do you think?

it would definitely make things easier, but imho it shouldn't be too much of a priority. it would be a nice extra, but their priority should be the core elements of the game first and foremost. that said, if they do make something like this, I'll probably definitely use it

thats a hell of an idea, i would love that. i've always wanted to make my own country but the closest i ever came (since i have no intention of learning to edit game code) was using that editor which came with doomsday, before it corrupted the game. so yeh i think that should definately be something they should do. however i shouldnt get my hopes up cos my computer won't be able to run hoi3, if they intend to make the graphics better (which they really should).

definently a good idea that would add even more replay ability.

Then again an editor that is easy to change as the game is being developed might have saved time in the development process, since making all the scenarios would have taken less time.

is hoi3 actually coming out? cos i know lots of people (me included) would love to see it, but they have already made 2 ww2 strategy games. but that didnt stop the horrific halo 3 being made so i guess it won't stop them, hope not anyways

we don't know. but Paradox has made three EU games, hasn't it?

Yeah before we get too far I'd like to know if they're making a HoI3. I didn't know I got seven replies, lol.

Has HoII made much profit?

I think that's pretty much what decides whether or not a sequal is made.

i bought my copy !

I would think it had, it must be more popular than the eu series, which is ok but not as good, being rather restricting without cheating. in my opinion anyway. i just thought this would be wishful thinking if they werent making a new one, and rather pointless.

 

[Myth]

meh, everything posted in this forum is wishful thinking to one degree or another. doesn't stop people from posting.

HoI3 is not just enchantment to HoI2, it has to be something completely differend. Like comparing EU2 and EU3, you can't find anything same in these games, and it's good. EU2 was just like a major patch to Eu1, like DD is to HoI2.

I suspect that HoI3 will not be here anytime soon. To throw a wild guess I'd say 2009-2010. Hoi2 is too good game to be improved.

But I agree to Nation maker.

actually a hell of a lot can be improved in hoi2, at least imho. I've made many posts on ways that things could be changed/improved for hoi3. but that's beside the point, I also figure that hoi3 would come in two or three years, if ever.

Yes. I think that P-Dox team has now found their path in EU games, like new ones coming once a while. there may come CK 2 or Vicky 2..
