[Prinz Wilhelm]

Awesome!

Serbia (III)

After some last hour research, I've made some changes to the uniforms worn by some of the Serbian leaders already posted. You can check on them in the past Serbian posts. And I have also made some new leaderpics for Serbia:


Sava Grujic (1840-1913)

(Service: 1887-1905, Background: politician, Personality: diplomatic)

Bozidar Jankovic (1849-1920)

(Service: 1904-1920, Background: old_school, Personality: harsh)

Mihailo Zivkovic (1856 -1930)

(Service: 1909-1921, Background: gifted_administrator, Personality: diplomatic)

Mihailo Rasic (1858 -1932)

(Service: 1910-1921, Background: politician, Personality: tactful)

Milos Bozanovic (1863-1922)

(Service: 1908-November 1st 1914, Background: school_of_offense, Personality: indifferent)

Now I'll begin with the Yugoslavs and Montenegrins, and then I'll consider the Balkanic countries as finished

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Good! Good! The circle is now (soon) complete.

 

[Semper Victor]

Yugoslavia (I)

I'd like to make some comments about Yugoslav leaders. As far as I know, both in Vicky and in Ricky Yugoslavia is only available in the 1914 scenario and only Serbia can recreate it. On the other hand, the army of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (official name of the new state from 1918 to 1929) remained an overwhelmingly Serbian army. For example, when Nazi Germany invaded Yugoslavia in March 1941, of 165 generals in the Royal Yugoslav Army, 161 of them were Serbs. So these leaders I'm posting here should also be added to the Serbian leaderlist, for the (very frequent) case when Serbia remains in game after 1918.


Petar Pesic (1871-1944, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: 1921-1941, Background: generals_aide, Personality: able)

Milan Nedic (1878-1946, he's already included in the Serbian leader list)

(Service 1923-46, Background: rising_star, Personality: brutish)

Ljubomir Maric (1878-1961, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: 1923-1938, Background: generals_aide, Personality: able)

Petar Zivkovic (1879-1947, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: 1923-1936, Background: immoral, Personality: brutish)

Bozin Hadzi-Ilic (1882-?, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: 1926-1939, Background: artillerist, Personality: careful)

Milutin Nedic (1882-1945, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: 1927-1941, Background: generals_aide, Personality: tactful)

Djordje Arandjelovic (1884-died in exile after 1945?, should be also in the Serbian leader list)

(Service: November 17th 1929-October 23rd 1940, Background: bureaucrat, Personality: mediocre)

In the next batch, Montenegro. Enjoy!

 

[OHgamer]

very nice.

DO you have any ALbanian leaders, just out of curiosity?

At least Ahmad Zogu (later King Zog I) should be considered.

 

[PANGI]

At least Ahmad Zogu (later King Zog I) should be considered.

Montenegro and Albania

Well, with these leaders the Balkan countries are finished:


MONTENEGRO:

Mirko Petrovic-Njegos, Grand Duke of Grahovo (1820-1967)

(Service 1830-August 1st 1867, Background: poet, Personality: au_fait)

Marko Miljanov Popovic (1833-1903)

(Service 1856-82, Background: expert_raider, Personality: vicious)

King Nikola I Mirkov Petrovic-Njegos of Montenegro (1841-1921)

(Service 1860-1906, Background: gifted_administrator, Personality: spirited)

Janko Vukotic (1866-1927)

(Service 1903-27, Background: war_college, Personality: stalwart)
(HISTORICAL NOTE: general Vukotic joined the Yugoslavian army after 1918, in which he was appointed to the rank of field marshal, dying in Belgrade while still in active service in 1927. As such, he should be added to the Yugoslav leader list in case Montenegro joins Yugoslavia)

Danilo Aleksandar Petrovic-Njegos, Crown Prince of Montenegro (1871-1939)

(Service 1910-1936, Background: aristocrat, Personality: clever)
(HISTORICAL NOTE: Prince Danilo went into exile after the absorption of Montenegro into the new state of Yugoslavia in 1918. In here I have chosen to lengthen his service period uin case Montenegro remains in game after 1918)

ALBANIA:

Esat Toptani (1863-1920)

(Service 1908-20, Background: politician, Personality: perverse)
(HISTORICAL NOTE: this chap reached the rank of general in the Ottoman army in 1908, and is already included in the ottoman leader list as "Esat Pasha Toptani". After 1912 he left the Ottoman army and became a military and political leader in the newly formed state of Albania until his murder in 1920)

Ahmet Zogu (Originally Ahmet Zokolli, later King Zog I of the Albanians, 1895-1961)

(Service 1920-39, Background: aristocrat, Personality: arrogant)


Next countries in the "to do" list, Japan and China

 

[PANGI]

Next countries in the "to do" list, Japan and China

Huuuuráááá!

 

[Kaiser Franz]

If you need help with Chinese warlords, i was relatively apt at finding them for the 1914 mod (by warlords i mean the 1920's ones...)

 

[unmerged(35351)]

In the Finnish leader file there are some errors. (they don't show up unless Finland is independent)

leader = {
   name = "Raappana" # Erkki Johannes
   category = general
   id = {
       type = 6    
       id = 6315     
  }
  background = expert_raider
  personality = smart
  date = {
    year = 1935
  }
  deathdate = {
    year = 1936
 [COLOR=Red]}[/COLOR]
  picture = fin_gen_raappana
  }

leader = {
   name = "Markov" # Vladimir Ivanovich
   category = general
   id = {
       type = 6    
       id = 6318      
  }
  background = generals_aide
  personality = cautious
  date = {
    year = 1909
  }
  deathdate = {
    year = 1919
  }
[COLOR=Red]}[/COLOR]

Red brackets are missing in the original file.

Keep up the good work, guys!

EDIT: In the South Africa file two leaders have the same id (Lukin and van Deventer)

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Thanks for reporting, WT.

Japan (I)

Well ladies and gentlemen, as usual we will begin with the vanilla leaders.

(NOTE: I will be following here the traditional order of Japansese names. For example, in "Oyama Iwao" the family name is Oyama)

VANILLA LEADERS:

Saigo Takamori (1828-1877) + Leaderfile done

Prince Yamagata Aritomo (1838-1922) + Leaderfile done

Prince Ōyama Iwao (1842-1916) + Leaderfile done

Admiral Tsuboi Kōzō (1843-1898) + Leaderfile done

Admiral Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō (1848-1934) + Leaderfile done

Count Nogi Maresuke (1849-1912) + Leaderfile done

Count Hasegawa Yoshimichi (1850-1924) + Leaderfile done

Admiral Count Yamamoto Gonnohyōe (1852-1933) + Leaderfile done

Admiral Satō Tetsutarō (1866-1942) + Leaderfile done

Admiral Baron Suzuki Kantarō (1868-1948) + Leaderfile done

Tachibana Koichiro (?-?) + Leaderfile done

In my next post, I will begin uploading the new additions to the Japanese leaderfile .

 

[|AXiN|]

I take it that titles like Count and Marquis are translations? Do you have transliterations for the Japanese titles?

 

[Semper Victor]

I take it that titles like Count and Marquis are translations? Do you have transliterations for the Japanese titles?

Between 1869 and 1947, existed in Japan a system of hereditary peerage known as Kazoku (華族, literally "flowery lineage").

Under the Peerage Act of 7 July 1884, the government also divided the kazoku into five ranks explicitly based on the British peerage, but with titles deriving from the ancient Chinese nobility:

1. Prince or Duke (公爵, kōshaku)
2. Marquis (侯爵, kōshaku)
3. Count/Earl (伯爵, hakushaku)
4. Viscount (子爵, shishaku)
5. Baron (男爵, danshaku)

The Constitution of Japan (promulgated in 1947) abolished the kazoku and ended the use of all titles of nobility or rank outside the immediate imperial family.

In this thread I will be used the Western equivalents of the kazoku titles, as defined by the 1884 decree cited above .

 

[Dark Scipio]

I really like this leaders, can I use them with the newest VIP version?

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Of course, they are free to be used by anyone (as long as there is credit. )
