This mod aims to portray Greece better in the 1914 campaign.
Due to lack of other Balkan nations Improvement projects, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro will probably be also enhanced through this mod.
What we'll do:
1)Provide accurate images for Greece's naval and land units.
2)Enhance events concerning Greece and add more. This means that Bulgaria's, Serbia's and the Ottoman Empire's events which are closely related with those of Greece will be enhanced as well and more will be added.
3)Correct names, maybe add some provinces and generally look up the economic situation of Greece. IC will be added or removed accordingly.
Here you can see the images changed:
How to install it:
Download the rar from the bottom of the post. Unrar it with Winrar. You will see 3 files.
greece.inc contains the scenario changes and should be pasted in Crogram Files\Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\scenarios\1914 and rewrite the old file.
The "models" folder should be pasted in C:\Program Files\Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\gfx\interface and be merged with the already existing models folder.
The "models" excel file should be pasted in C:\Program Files\Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\config and rewrite the old file.

Here you can see the images changed:
Pisa Class Heavy Cruiser. Italian made, this was the most technologically advanced unit of the RHN. Thanks to this ship, Greece enjoyed complete naval dominance over the Ottoman Navy during the 1st Balkan War. Its name is taken from a rich and respected Greek from Alexandria who payed most of the ship's cost and gifted it to the Hellenic Navy. Respect to the man.
Mississippi Class Pre-Dreadnought. Ships of the class include: Limnos and Kilkis. Bought from the USA in 1914.
Hydra Class Coastal Battleship. Ships of the class include: Hydra, Psara and Spetsai. Ordered from France in 1885.
Helle class Light Cruiser. Originally built for the Chinese Navy, it was never delivered and therefore was bought by Greece.
Wild Beast Class Destroyers. Ships of the class include: Panthir, Aetos, Ierax and Leon. Ordered from Britain in 1911, they were some of the most advanced ships of the RHN.
1914 Infantry Division. Basically armed with Mannlicher-Shonauer rifles in addition to many captured Ottoman Mauser ones.
Though in the tactical level, the Greek army is not known for its maneuverability and encirclements but rather for its costly frontal assaults, the Greek infantry is determined and well trained, with supervision of French officers. The Greek infantry divisions were amongst the first in the world to be reorganized in the triangular scheme (3 regiments/division) before even the German ones did so.
1907-1914 Cavalry Division A rare image of the Greek cavalry during the era of the Balkan Wars. Greek cavalry was not widely used, therefore it's somewhat different to find images of it.
1911 Artillery It's the Schneider-Creusot 75mm Model. Bought from France in 1906-1907, they are good quality and rather modern considering that they continued to be used by the Greek army in the WW2.
Mississippi Class Pre-Dreadnought. Ships of the class include: Limnos and Kilkis. Bought from the USA in 1914.
