Are there a series of events if Valkyrie succeeds? Or is it just "Hitler died, war continues unchanged"?

Hi! This mod looks really interesting, but I was wondering if this mod included the Vietnam War and the various Middle Eastern wars and crisis such as the Arab/Israeli Conflict (The War for Independence, Reprisal operations, the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, the Suez Crisis, the War of Attrition, 1982 Lebanon War, South Lebanon conflict, and the First Intifida), the Iran hostage Crisis, and the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan?

Hi wildbill1954 here - Thanks for all the hard work very one did to make this a reality.
I'm back finally after being exceedingly busy for the past 6 months. I did get the game downloaded after all my troubles doing so (page 162 of this thread - 11-15-15) and was able to fiddle with it enough to feel like it would work. I started with the '59 scenario - as a kid I was in the Panama Canal Zone during the Cuban missile crisis and was aware of an impending war before Kennedy made it known. I have searched and waited for years for a game that would cover that time.
As far as I can tell the game seems to be working fine but I have one little problem. I can't find any info on how to load nukes - specifically on the SSBN's. I know that there was some method to load aircraft but that was in one of the way earlier versions of HOI. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again for all the hard work very one did.

Sincerely hope this doesn't get abandoned. They're working with the best Hearts of Iron game.

we don't see Bizon few month, the last release was in december. Bizon does your mod is dead? I hope no because your mod is the only one who covers the cold war
and we need modders like you to continue the long story of the NWO.

By the way, Israel annexed Egypt in my game, will it release? Or is there a way to get it to release it?
As far as I remember you have to go into the DB file...from there each nation (ISR in your case) has a list of nations to release, corresponding to their 3 letter tag (EGY). Add that, reload and they should let them go.
By the way, how is the mod otherwise? Does it run well without many of these hiccups?
Ah I see, alright, thanks! And yeah! It runs perfectly. I'm having lots of fun with the mod.
Hey chums, Carribean nations, British Pacific islands nations, Lesotho and Swaziland to enable the UK to fully decolonialise.
Amazing mod! Only one issue. The Allies or Soviets have yet to have invaded or nuked Japan, and it is almost 1949. I am playing as Communist China and thus I cannot do anything like unite China until the Japanese surrender. What can I do?
Every time WW2 ends, I get a stuttering lag every time the game switches to a new day.
Anyone have this issue? Pretty annoying

Question: I finished the Korean war as the US, helped SK. China never intervened? Is this a bug or is there an option that China refuses to intervene?
What scenario did you play when the lag occurred? I checked the Endsieg scenario to test it as quickly as possible but couldn't reproduce this daily lag?
Yeah, you can say I'm back. Naturally I'd say that I was on the forums, just here and there from time to time but my new releases grew thin and I didn't properly follow this thread for some time. On a side note, since forums moved to XenForo I can't get reliable notifications for my threads. In the old forums, I was duly spammed with notification e-mails, currently the coverage is spotty.
I don't know about the future of NWO, at least I don't have any better idea than a couple of months ago. The truth is I don't play DH lately so I don't have any natural interest in developing it much further (on a side note, I had a chance of trying HoI4 - it has some interesting changes and has much better starting point than HoI3 but it has a long way to go to come near the quality of HoI2 and its siblings). In the mod, there are a couple of points that could be tackled but let's see:
- there is a lot of events that probably require fixes to triggers, or redesigning to be more dynamic - but I made them so long ago so it's hard to me to recap what idea I had behind them, how do they work, not to mention that the effects may be negligible
- I never researched post-war commanders and most of ministers are 'blank' too - that's an immense and unrealistic task; doing HoS/HoG pairs was a nice history trip for me once but let's face it, the amount of research/copy-paste work is disproportionate to the end result (limiting this headcount in HoI4 is one of design decision I can understand, even if they went IMO a bit too far)
- teaching AI to make use of the tech tree - yes, I got the tech tree wholesale from the CWTT project and this comes to haunt me because I really never properly 'felt' this tree - I knew effects of specific files and lines of code, I even made some small changes to them but it's hard for me to dig deeper and check what AI countries should make use of what brigades and when, if their stats are reasonable or not. At first I was wary of having to keep my mod constantly updated with the changes to CWTT tree, now I'm just not committed enough to sweep through these files that I haven't ever properly went through.
- adopting NWO to DH 1.05 - that's one thing I'd feel strongly inclined to do so that the mod doesn't get completely left behind. But I think there's no word on the new patch anywhere, for a long time, I didn't even check the devs for any news on this front :O
- going with NWO forward and making it for HoI4 - firstly, I'd have to buy the game and I'm not really eager to do this when I know I won't be playing the game soon. Probably will give it a chance at some discount - you know, I think it has potential and I'm not against dumbing... streamlining the game a bit but it has to be done right. And it takes a lot of time and resilience to make a big successful mod and I know I won't have it in sufficient quantities anytime soon. And maybe, since Paradox seems to be pushing countless DLCs for its prime releases lately, the post-war period will get some attention, at least in the form of quasi-Doomsday expansion (which, let's not forget, was the very base of my NWO modding efforts).
To sum it up, the future doesn't look too rosy but I don't rule out doing something for the mod if it's important or I feel like it. Unless someone else feels up to challenge with one of the points above and maybe there's time for some NWO Community Edition?
