Thats weird, I just came on to post the exact same question...

I have started making my own turtledove mod (as im too stubborn to wait for the community mod-but keep goin guys, yours will probably be better!)

So, basically I have copied the current csa minister file and renamed it ministers_u00 (I have kept fascist csa as a seperate nation, tag-wise) and copied and renamed the csa minister tags 573001 and so on...to tags 574's but I am having the same problem, they dont show in game.

The worst thing is I thought this would be a minor modification but it has had me stumped for 2 days now!!

Please help!

Cmon guys, someone must know!!

Help my confused little brain!

Same problem here...and all the coding is right.

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

well I still havent fixed the problem. Anyone know why they won't work?

 

[HMS Enterprize]

Nope, but im gonna attempt another go tonight...

I really thought this was gonna be a minor modification...how wrong am I?

As it seems, it is no an easy thing: I have the same problem and the only way i have managed to 'correct' it has been with savegame editing.

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got them to show up ingame. The problem was with the "NA" part of the line. I guess that an NA starting date means 1936 because when I changed NA to 1861 all the ministers showed up just fine! Here, take a look!!

Congrats, my turn now I guess...

Ministers are selected based off the ideology of the goverment. If there is no minister for the position then the exe file picks the minister with the closest ideology.
