I think the realism is necessary, but you could just make them terra incognita?(black map)
The point of my own mod was to include, as much as possible, every modern African nation. So a confederation wouldn't make sense.
I think terra incognita is a bad choice. Africa is home to millions of people and abundant resources (oil, diamonds). It does not have a lot of industrial development, but in terms of HoI interest, the continual wars/rebellions that happen in the region make it a perfect start to a new world war.
Of course, the fact that these nations have a lot of resources has to be implemented in the game, as Paradox left Africa basically nothing in the vanilla game.
Why Serbia doesn`t have any tanks. And why all trade agreement are accepted automaticly.
I would imagine the answer to the second question is that you have the particular button ticked on the production screen that makes the ai automatically decide trade deals for you.
hi, I wonder that is AI coding is the only missing part for releasing 1.6 version(or starting beta-testing)? do we have chance to see 1.6 MDS before release of HOI3?
Hello, I am playing as Germany and I have progressed to the point where I have joined the Coalition and am in a war against the Shanghai Pact. Anyways, I have built up my forces and want to invade Russia, but when I try to invade I just got a red x for my mouse. Is there some event that Germany needs to invade another country? Or is there something that I need to do in order to attack other countries?
I think the AI is the only crucial part left. The event structure is mostly done and although it's not yet complete in some parts (like surrender events), one should have an interesting game with it.
Killerrabbit, when will our development forum come back?
Then those who actually care and know about Africa, like moi (not that I'm a super-expert) would roll our eyes and then cry. Africa is full of potential (and already existing) conflicts between even small states. Tuareg rebellions in Mali, Algeria, and Niger for example. Ethnic strife in Nigeria, Cabindan separatism in Angola, rebellions in eastern DRC, rebellions in southern Sudan, ethnic rebellions in Ethiopia, obvious rebellions from all walks of life in Somalia, rebellion in the Sahara against Moroccan rule, etc.
The Gambia could appear and simulate some possible tension between it and Senegal. They tried to unify in the 80's as Senegambia, for example.

i think everyone should stop for a second.
Why ?
Because i think that they have to much pressure on them so i think the best for all of us would be chill for a moment

Sure, but its almost impossible to find reliable minister information. This is simple for the sake of time. Plus, I highly doubt a conflict in Africa would erupt into a world war.
tis possible. aren't china sending weapons and supplies to some african country? (i cant remember which one). There could be some proxy war that escalated, or some sort of blockade incident.
Having accurate ministers is overrated unless it's a major power. It takes a significant time investment for something that really doesn't add much to the game unless you know who the people are. As I said in my earlier post, I applied the blue/black/red shadow system that Paradox used for some of the new revolters in armageddon for my mod to avoid this problem.
If anything, you could always just find out who the Head of State and Head of Government are and leave the rest blank. Finding that should be easy.
I think number of African nations contained in 1,5 version vould be enough for 1,6 too. Adding Somalia would do more action but no need for complicating.
I agree, let's not complicate things too much. I say we take it one step further, and just smash South America into two nations, Western South America and Brazil. That would be better wouldn't it?:wacko:
Sorry, but I get the feeling from some of the responses here that people think Africa isn't important, so it doesn't matter if the nations are correct or not. This is false, Africa is not some irrelevant "dark continent", it has abundant natural resources and millions of people and any true "MDS" should reflect all of the nations (within reason, I'm not saying Swaziland has to be added or something) if it wants to correctly portray current world geopolitics.
Also, it is a hotbed for conflict, perfect for HoI.
Are you trying to attack Russia trough Poland? Note that while you have military access to their territory, they are in MDS1.5 very probably not in your military alliance and therefore neutral in the war. In other words, you aren't allowed to attack Russia through their provinces.
You'll either have to take the sea-route over Kaliningrad and St.Petersburg or find a way to bring Poland out of its neutrality. Since the USA sadly won't try to invite new nations into the Coalition, your remaining non-cheating choices are all equally limited and time-consuming....you could leave the Coalition and try to invite Poland into your own alliance (however, I'm not sure if they will accept an alliance-offer even with +200 relations), you could try to puppet them with spies or you could try declaring war on them by raising their threat rating until you are allowed to do so, also via spies.
The easiest and fastest solution is likely to be an amphibious invasion near St.Petersburg, though.
Exactly. African ressources will likely play a very large role in any future conflict scenario and especially the Chinese are currently investing heavily into the continent for that reason.
Also, you're much more likely to see wars in Africa than in Western Europe. So how about just merging all of those uninteresting countries like Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, etc into one nation?! They're just complications and slowing down the gameplay after all.
