Modern Day Scenario II v1.5 - Available for download

[Deounce]

Word, when I've played as the USA, China usually has about 200 army divs, and 200 ships, in addition to India's 150 divs, Russia's 250 ships, in addition to over 125 nations being in the mod...

That doesnt sound right in terms of lag though cuase i play with Relaunch Mod and a couple of other mods where the major nations including Soviet Union have over 280 divisions and lag isnt there lol.

Thanks though

Hi guys,

I have the problem that the NATO doesn't exists. I am still at the beginning of the game so is that a bug or normal?

 

[unmerged(191057)]

NATO, If i remembered was represented by military access and GOI's.

I think it's normal.

i noticed its 10 MP for a factory...just wanted to point out how insanely wrong this is.

and im still asking (for the 10th time) whos fun to play as considering everyone is: too weak, too primative, or an industrial giant with stockpiles of high technology

Iran, Israel, China or Russia is very fun to play as, perhaps especially as China in WW3 with air and naval combat. (as Iran and Israel, you might have to get into war yourself) Considering that HoI is built for a total war environment, the fun factor is low for most nations with a realistic setup as MDS2 is. There is generally little to do in peacetime, and no meaningful interaction between nations. There are limits to how much can be scripted to compensate for this. Despite this, you can create your own challenges, especially as regional powers in Africa and the middle east.

(If you consider 1 IC as a percentage of the total economy and people employed there, 10 MP is a laughable mild "cost")

Thank you very much Killerrabbit .

 

[PanzerMan7]

the people employed there will be draftable in that case

guyz
i downloaded modern day scenario. i have HoI2 DD without any patches or mods. can anyone tell me what to do to play MDS

Hi folks.

Alright, I know this question has probably been asked a trillion times and I have done my best to trawl through all 6,000+ posts but I can't find a solution.

I installed Hearts of Iron 2:Armageddon and patched it to 1.2

*Then I downloaded Modern Day Scenario 2 - BETA version 1.6 and it's Patch. (via This read)
*I manually created a folder and named it MDS2.
*I unzipped MDS2 - Part 1 to the MDS2 folder.
*I sent MDS2 - Part 2 to the MDS2 folder.
*I sent MDS2 - Part 3 to the MDS2 Folder.
*Then I patched it.
In the above processes I replaced all files that the system asked me too.

*Then I went in to my original HoI2:Arma folder and copied the HoI2:Arma v1.2 .exe file.
*Then I returned to my MDS2 folder and pasted the HoI2:Arma v1.2 .exe file.
*Then I activated the "no-time-limit" patch in the MDS2 folder.

Accessing the .exe file via my MDS2 folder, the game seems to run perfectly. BUT, whenever I save a game, I cannot load it. The game strangely allows me to save, but not load.

Did someone stated that Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan leave the Shanghai Pact directly after the formation event (then only China, Russia and North Korea remain in the Shanghai Pact).

Is there any reason why whenever I install this game every single event happens at the start and Vietnam always declares war on Laos, the same with China with Taiwan?

you need the no time limit patch. You can find it with a simple google search. With HOI3(and I think AOD and the yet unreleased DH) time limits don't exist and just by changing the year in a text document, anyone with basic knowledge of programming can make the game go into 1964(end date of hoi2: Armageddon)


Events on the other hand require a lot more work, not to mention new nations, ministers, etc

As for those early wars, I going to have to blame bad AI


If you follow those two links in my signature you'll find that I'm creating a mod called The War That Never Was(or as an alt title PTEAP): What if WWI never happened?


I really do apologize for (shameless) self promotion, but if anyone wants to help be my guest. Afterall, have you ever played a mod with a united Chinese Empire that rules all of Manchuria, a Soviet Union led by the internationalist, world revolution supporter Leon Trotsky, A United States of America where Joseph Taylor Robinson is president, and The Greater Austrian Empire rules form the Adriatic to the Baltic sea?

Did someone stated that Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan leave the Shanghai Pact directly after the formation event (then only China, Russia and North Korea remain in the Shanghai Pact).

This problem has existed since the early betas. Either you can constantly keep on adding them back into the alliance via editing the save file, or bumping up the cost to leave an alliance to like 100000 money...
Edit: I also tinkered with making them all commie and that sometimes helped, but then Britain and other nations began leaving NATO/CotW so I gave up on it

It's too bad no music is included in this

Hello

I have downloaded and installed MDS2 1.6, however the year after installing the no time limit patch is set to 1003. Is this intentional? Or is the NTL patch not installed correctly? I have told it several times to update the .exe in my MDS2 folder (Not my Armageddon 1.2 folder!) but as such to no avail. I am just worried in that if it is set to 1003 instead of 2003, events may not fire correctly, if at all. How should I correct this?

 

[unmerged(53293)]

The year 10xx is intended, so no reason to worry.

 

[unmerged(135051)]

Ok. Thanks very much

 

[PanzerMan7]

make sure to include the most recent events in the mid east

 

[Panzergruppe]

make sure to include the most recent events in the mid east

We don't know yet how they will end.

Not that I don't like this mod, but in my opinion setting the HoI series in modern times doesn't work very well, as the game series was designed with a world war in mind. Police actions are really hard to pull off, and most wars tend to be regional(an boring IMHO)

Recently uninstalled the mod(right now I'm dabbling in KR and working on a mod of my own), but one thing I'd love to see later on is a world war either between Russia and the US, China, possibly S. and N. Korea/Japan, and the US, and even the rise of a second Soviet Union(my idea: the Russian Federation collapses and far-left Russian hardliners once again establish the Marxist-Leninist Bolshevik to serve as the vanguard of the Russian proletariat)

 

[PanzerMan7]

we dont have to know how they end

either

government falls
protestors crushed
civil war- protestors win
civil war- government wins
