Modern Day Scenario, towards Armageddon

[novapaddy]

So my new observation; Poland had event about invading Ukraine but for some reason instead it declared war to Bylorus
Also I have question: is it normal that some countries experience rebel uprising in some provinces mainly in Russia, Chine and India

Yes, Poland can invade the Ukraine, Belarus or Lithuania, or not. Uprisings?

Still not working for mechanized brigades .
Edit : niether HQ,marines and paratroopers . All 1980 units.

- So Albania is not part of NATO
- The divisions img I contributed are still not added
- I get the Russia (friend or foe) event even though I'm Russia

That's it for now.

You know guys, I promised to add everything that was contributed to this mod. I checked the folders 3 TIMES. I even made a list a week or so ago, of stuff that was still not done, and completed that list by adding all and everything to the mod.

YES I see ALB and ROM do NOT appear to have been done. WHY? Well guys I remember those images, because I remember processing them. To my consternation, that are not in the mod. I have looked around in other folders, thinking I must have misplaced them? But as yet have not found them anywhere.

But believe me, I did process them, as I remember those government guy's images and the units as well.

I AM HAVING A SEPARATE issue, with how dh1.04 uses the country.csv file. I did post an explanation about this earlier. It appears not to be working as I though it would. But this can be sorted out.

I am glad to say that the images for ALB and ROM ... ARE DONE, as I have redone them today. They ARE in the mod. You will have them in the next version.

My Apologies!

Progress update on the silhouette icons:
Up until now I've focused mainly on building the template (PSD). I've decided to first and foremost make the models for all major powers and main role countries in the conflicts. Starting alphabetically, Australia:

- Infantry Brigade
- Airmobile-, Motorized-, Mechanized-, Paratrooper-, Marine-, Mountainous-, Garrison-, Militia- and Ranger Brigade
- Spec Ops
- Light Armour Brigade
- Armor Brigade
- HQ Brigade

A lot of unit types and countries are gonna be sharing the same silhouettes to save time.
There are still tons of work to be done on the template, so these are just test prints for the moment.

Tell what you think.

I need to skip a few posts ( I will come back to you in a moment) and answer this post.

Thanks for the samples to let us see what you have in mind.

First thing: When I get the dh1.04 country.csv file working, I won't need every country to have their own set of skiffs. If that file works as it should do, we should be able to have groups of skiffs servicing groups of countries, which should save mountains of work.

Like the sprites already done:

SOV sprites are for militarily poor countries, African countries, countries that normally have shit armies and shit equipment, so 1970s, 1980s tanks etc.
MIN is for everyone else, NATO, rest of Europe etc.

Of course for countries with their own tanks, USA, ENG, JAP, FRA, GER, RUS, CHC.. they will have their own set of skiffs.

I have posted a query in the Tech Support thread regarding the country.csv file.

So, to the images.
I think the black is too dark. Maybe it is the white outline that makes the black stand out more?
I think it being too black will be most noticeable when you have a full page of units in the Production page?

Maybe a dark grey instead of black?

I dunno, what do you think of the suggestion?


............................

EDIT:

I see another post telling me to update Poland.

Listen guys, I DID Poland. It was the most work I did on any government. I did all the replacements as well. So POLAND has to be done. I could not bear to have to do it again....

Well having POL attack either LIT, BLR or UKR was an effort first to surprise the player. Second, not having his big brother NATO standing there to protect him, was also an effort to break away from the usual. Thirdly, I'm sure guys are fed up playing NATO vs RUS, or the West invading and destroying yet another Arab country ?

I wanted something different. So the idea that when ENG leaves the EU in June 2016, the EU breaks up into a Western EU and an Eastern EU, both totally separate. This in turn, as well as Putin becoming a friend of the west, leads to NATO becoming far less happy to become involved in foreign american inspired wars. Even the USA after, what decades of continuous war, must be more isolationist at this stage, and so tired of fighting arabs or guys that look like Arabs, that they too tend to let the fucker go fight his own war, since HE started it....

As you say POL attacking UKR would never happen. The idea behind this was: just like RUS have thousands of their citizens in the Baltic State countries and the West is worried about RUS stirring them up and wanting to secede, so too do the Poles have thousands of their citizens in LIT and UKR. Also the UKR is made up of a large chunk of what was previously Poland. Flick on the area/region map for Poland in the game and you will see what I mean.

It was just a quick effort to give the guys something different to play.

Yeah, honestly I'm not really sure about that, but that again who am I to say. Up to a point i agree, but somewhere down the line...This is the first, and I'm pretty sure it will be the only one, Modern Day Scenario on E3 map. On my opinion it should be done properly, and left for other modders to make rest on their imagination. I really consider this mod to have what it takes to become a real game, and I think you should just build a strong base, a real one, and not wait for other guys to make those "real" projects. Leave them work only on their fantasies, but you should make the game mostly realistic. Poland attacking Belarus is probably the only mildly realistic war there, but than again, that would surely provoke both Russia and US to react. Poland attacking Lithuania and Ukraine (with current governments) is just a fantasy war, believe me.
On the other hand Balkans is a region full of possible realistic conflicts. I've seen in the game, Croatia attacks Serbia based on a bomb in the capital..Croatia is a lot weaker in real life, BUT in an alliance with Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo, that could spice the game up to the max, to whomever plays in Balkans. Fyrom and (maybe) Turkey on Croatia's side, and Romania and Greece along with some kind of revolt in Republic of Srpska on Serbia's side could just as well make the Balkans region burst into flames again, well, like it always happens there. Also, one more thing to add, a lot of nations don't have claimed provinces, but that's not a big job. I'm offering my help everywhere you need it.
Now, after these "small" wars are done, there could happen a World War 3 opener. I'm thinking maybe China (Shanghai Pact backed) - Taiwan (NATO backed) (though that was used in MDS before), or Iran (SP backed) - Saudi Arabia (NATO backed) over Iraq but also Yemen included, or Russia (SP backed) - Baltics + Ukraine (NATO backed). At that moment, i think a huge alliances would have to be made, an event or something for the nations to pick their sides. I know this has all been done previously, but thats why the people played it, it was good, realistic. MDS was a great game if you ask me, but it lacked a good map, and this map is just...Rolls Royce. Now, i got to say, i still didn't read all of the events, and i still didn't passed a game year 2016 in game so i have no idea what have you cooked for us after those years, but i bet it's good.

Ok
NOTES:
-Libya has 1980's Gaddafi era claims on Chad included here, you don't need to put it in the game if you don't prefer Libya to do so.
-Houthis have claims on all of Yemen (including Socotra, and other parts of Yemen that don't have Shia majority. Also includes southern Saudi Arabia where Shia is majority-Houthis do tend to attack and aspire those areas in real life)
-Iran has a bunch of Central Asian claims that i don't think are valid today, but these are leftover probably from E3 map but WWII Persia era, i didn't touch that, i only added Shia majority areas in Arabia. If you decide, i can delete those Central Asian claims in a minute and post a new Iran claims file
-Poland included pre WW2 claim of Tesin area from Czech Republic, also don't put it in game in you don't feel so. I personally don't, but i will add it here for people who wanna do so
-Also i will add a flag that Houthis use below, I don't have a flag maker that works on a style included in game, the flag is below.

These are the claims, just copy from here and paste this line instead of the one in the files, or if there is none, copy from here and paste below the "controlled provinces" line as i don't know how to upload my txt files here. Here we go:

For the TAGS problem you can use those of communist and alt historical contries like those of Armageddon

However I suppose that you did.

 

[Slavan_89]

So my new observation; Poland had event about invading Ukraine but for some reason instead it declared war to Bylorus
Also I have question: is it normal that some countries experience rebel uprising in some provinces mainly in Russia, Chine and India

+1 for the rebel uprisings - two years in the game, and Russia and China looked more like post-apocalyptic, rebel-ridden scenery. There was usually 35+ dissent in all core territories. Anybody else had similar experience?

 

[Prinnt]

Don't know if you already have this, but if not i'll just post the link here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_Federation Could be interesting for some events. Also, if you find some time, could you maybe add some basic tech teams to Uganda? Just 2 or 3 that one can research stuff.

Edit: One bug i found: There is a island called Jemahit right off the coast of Eritrea which is owned by Ethiopia but should be owned by Eritrea.

 

[ajcubb]

No-one gave me anything for Afghanistan, so I have nothing for them.
USA is far too powerful a nation to need NATO to fight for them, and please also read an earlier answer regarding NATO.
Denis McDonough, yes I did this myself.. Jo Dunford I may have him done already will check.
No taliban, didn't get around to doing them, put isis in AFG though!
No IRQ is a mess of a country since 1991 really and with TUR and SYR fighting there, whoever wins is more secure by controlling the lands themselves, don't you think. Since some of the leaders of isis are ex-iraqi army officers...
US elections........ No, no time yet, may in the next version? Do you want to give me your ideas of what would happen, as I don't have a clue.
Explained pictures
I can only add what I am given, too busy doing other stuff.
Qaddafi is still alive. A favourite of mine was Qaddafi, who was murdered by NATO because he gave free education and healthcare to his citizens, why because he wanted to be paid for oil in anything other then the dollar? Well NATO ruined Libya and now the country is a total ruin with brigands and armed groups controlling tribal areas (I presume?). Oh, yeah and you're going to tell me how much of a bad guy he was... secret police...etc etc... are you now talking about Egypt, or Saudi Arabia? LOL

But I'm sure we'll all hear about the next NATO intervention in Libya this week or next week?

I'll try to give you some stuff for Afghanistan. And thank you for the NATO response. Iraq should at least get some cores in the old ISIS areas, so they can try to demand it back. Just because a country loses stuff to rebels, dosen't mean whichever country helps them take it will keep the land. That would lead to more war and Iraq should be allied with Iran, as they both are trying to combat ISIS. I'll see what I can do about the US elections and I understand that this is only a first version, so I'm not calling you out on this.

My question though, is Qaddafi is dead so why is he still alive period? I understand that there are different opinions on his policies, but I'm merely pointing out that he is dead by the time this starts, so why is he still Zombie Qaddafi?
