Modern Day Scenario

[Mr. Capiatlist]

I don't like the distinction between military and civilian highway, but otherwise it looks good. Perhaps we should look for something more hightech for number 5?

I have no problem with "Trans-Contenental" for number 5, but with 1 + 2, one must realize that the reason for expanding the US highways during Einsenhower was for the efficent mobilization of troops and tanks. Later, after tanks became too large, they were designed for the sole prupose of civilians, that is why I make the distiction... IMO, I like the distinction....

Don't know if it a world-wide distinction though. I know Hitler built highway for a military purpose... so perhaps the distinction is good. I will give it some thought. Come to think of it El Presidente suggested this back when we were looking a techs.

 

[Mr. Capiatlist]

Again, his was mostly train-based. We need to find balance between the railed "old-world" and the flight oriented "New-world." Europe and Asia's systems are far different from the Americas way.... We will have to find some sort of middle ground.

Transports

How will we show air transportation? Maybe we can make several major cities "adjacent" Like New York and London.... that way troops can move over the sea quickly kind of representing flight. That way we will not have to make any new units concerning air-transports....

How's that sound?

Well the idea is sound, but what happens if the USA declares war on the UK? The UK would never allow planes carrying troops to land, they would use AA guns on em. As such the Adjacent thing is a good representation in peace time, but in situations like this, it no longer makes sense.

I wish to join the MDS team

Hi,



I am very interested to join the Modern Day Scenario and wish to contribute my efforts for it as much as possible. Please let me know how far have you reached in this mod. Also a suggestion for me is to try the utmost to include airpower as well as air transport and nukes in the MDS anyway possible. I will try to provide you with my help to my level best. Please let me know about it and also what work you require now. Thanks

The 1952 map is done except for pops right governments and right religions

revolt.txt all break away states for the USSR
Yugoslavian break off states
Czech Republic and Slovakia

Both Korean ai's
Vietnam ai
USA ai
USSR ai
China ai

flags for major powers

country.csv

weve got some other stuff I cant think of right now

Wow....
Okay, I'll get to work for the revolters for colonial nations (if you haven't already done them) and the events that go along with them.

My opinion is since we can't model this to satisfaction, we should properly ignore it all together.

Yah ill leave those to you Mr. Capiatlist

 

[unmerged(24388)]

working on those events nor for UK and Ulster and was wondering what is the command or how do you get the flags to change?

command = { type = flagname which = "commie" }
so TAGcommie is now the flag you see

 

[unmerged(24388)]

thanks, will gt right on it!! lol

 

[unmerged(22430)]

Do you have those events done yet Mr. C.

Are we making UN a ghost nation?
Id say China was actively in the war and so was the US
how about US, S. Korea and UN in S. Korea and China and N. Korea in N. Korea

I can't recall the Korean War of the top of my head, but I don't think the UN was actively involved in the War. UN mostly did peacekeeping prior the the fall of the Sovjetunion.

As for making AI's... I've had a look at the files, and I guess I could give it a shot. However it is hard to test for correct behavior, when we don't have a working edition. Also the economical parts of the AI doesn't make much sense to start scripting, if we're going to replace some of the factories. Same goes for tech.

The U.S. was officially fighting in Korea under the auspices of the U.N., of which S.K. was a member-state and N.K. was not.

There is no satisfactory way to model the U.N. without making the U.S. ahistorically powerful, so I'd advise to drop it.

Making AI files before we even know how the game balances out / is set up strikes me as painting the house while you're still laying down the foundation. It's silly.

Been working, rock emporium and then a play this month, I am as busy as hell. :wacko:

 

[unmerged(32424)]

I have the South Vietnam and Puerto Rico Flags done ... I have some ideas for break away US states, but unless you want me to base them off a group of states of my choosing, I need to know which states form what nations and those nations' names

 

[unmerged(22430)]

Id like to see your ideas, I thought that puerto rico, Hawaii, the virgin islands, and territories or commonwealths of the us could break away, also i think california should and maybe texas, New England maybe too
