Newest Version of The Grand Campaign 1914-1991!

[delanonne]

Hey guys in real life Hitler would have been very reluctant to start WW2 by invading the Sovs. He had no idea how the German army would perform at that point. Poland was not such a big deal compared to the Sovs. In game it would be a great idea. The allies will probably not dow the Germans and the Sov army in 1939 was much weaker than in 41. The Finns helped to prove that. So there would have been no time to implement the reforms from the Winter War. I woul expect the Germans to cream the Sovs in 39. So it might make a great alt-history option. The German armored units were very few at this time so it would make for a neat campaign I think. The big question would be the Allies. In real life I am sure they would love for the two dictators to duke it out. In game I think the same thing would happen but I am not sure. The Germans might be OK anyway with only the French-German frontier for a front. The allies if they did dow the Germans would not likely want a total war. I am already thinking of how to do this in terms of the mod. It would be a bit tricky. I think you would need an option for the Sovs to finish off the Poles during their war.

PS Happy New Year!

If I remember correctly, this mod only has one scenario? This means you are trying to cater for all possibilities at the same time, which can lead to event nightmares, where you lose control.

Why not have different scenarios? Have the core scenario, but then copy that into a new scenario, and from there, start a new adventure with new events and possibilities?

Now you have control.

Oh and Happy New Year!

Hey NP great to hear from you again. If my flabby coding skills were up to it I would be happy to add other scenarios or at least interesting save games as part of the mod. I would like to add alternative choices like the Pole-Sov thing. I can do OK with easy stuff but, when it gets a bit complicated I just don't know what to do and the frustration sets in. I know you have mentioned this sort of thing several times and I really wish I could do something like that but, I just do not see it happening. I just do not know that much about the inner workings of the game. Simple or even a bit complicated events are not beyond my understanding. I have never even made a decision. Oh and Happy New Year right back at you.

OK, let me see if I can help you out a little.

You would be most familiar with the events in the Grand Campaign. Can you make a list of the events which would be considered CORE to the Grand Campaign, so these can be added to a new scenario? Maybe even easier at this stage, to make a list of what is NOT CORE and I can not import them into a new scenario.

If you can do this, then give me some idea of what new scenario you would wish to have... gives me an idea of what to do, then I can create a new scenario for you and send you the files. Then you can simply add to that scenario all the new events that belong there, and add to the Grand Campaign all events that go there separately.

How does this sound?

Hey NP that sounds great. I will come up with an idea or two and let you know. I have your email.

Hey guys!
So I wanna talk about the music about the Grand Campaign
Personally I think the music pack is slightly lacking and repetitive.
So here's an overview I've made to show you all the changes I made for this new music pack.
I hope you'll come to enjoy:

1. First off, I removed all of the speeches from all the World in Flames mod. I found it to be very annoying that if I wanted to listen to a country specific song, say Germany, I would be listening to a march from the country. But it's annoying to hear about Churchill talking about "never surrendering on the beaches" when listening to a German playlist and worse that most of them are already at the very beginning of the list and they are so long. So you can say I trimmed of the fat from the meat.
   
2. I refurbished the generic music from the country-specific playlists into the generic war/peace lists. Some of them didn't make the cut but some of them did.
   
3. I Removed the stereotypical music for Japan and China and gave them appropriate marches. I always thought that the country-specific music lists were dedicated into the marches from that nation. For example, a small preview for the Japan playlist, I gave the Japanese navy march and the Japanese national anthem to give an example.
4. The most notable change is that I added a lot of brand new songs for all the playlists. I've added songs like Es war ein Edelweiss, the Soviet partisan song, Red Army is Strongest, Yellow Rose of Texas, Hail Columbia and many more
   
5. And finally, I added higher quality versions of certain songs as well. Examples include: Panzerlied, Koniggratzer Marsch, Heart of Oak, and more!

Hey PR I would like to give it a try but, I cannot access the site here in China. If you can put it up on Mega I can get to it OK. I will put it into my game and see how I like it. I really like the speeches a lot so I do not want them removed completely. If they would just fire at the correct time it would be OK. Adding marches is great. Just do not use the Horst Wessel lied. I removed it specifically for Lubber who is German but hates that song. Anyway I look forward to trying it out. The whole thing was put together by EJ over a year ago. Some of the songs do no belong but, I have had a lot of things on my plate with a higher priority. Anyone of course is free to download and use it. I will just see if we can use it for the official version of the mod.

Sure thing, I will have the files ready by the 3rd of January by 1:00 EST. Now the folder itself has the speeches removed, if you wish to place them back, you are welcome to do so.

Hey thanks. This looks just like a bunch of songs. Is there any organization to it? Maybe when the download is finished it will make sense.

delanonne

Yes, the songs are organized into this:
First you have the generic songs for peace and war. These don't have any marches are have music that I find would be interesting. A lot of these were from the canceled Paradox game East vs West but a few of the generic songs were refurbished from generic songs from the country-specific playlists. Example: Entente13
Then you have the country-specific music. These have basically all the marches for each country/ideology. A lot of new songs have been added for each nation.
Allies examples:
Battle Cry of Freedom
Yellow Rose of Texas

Central/Axis examples:
U-bootlied
Lore, Lore
Es war ein Edelweiss

Soviet examples:
Soviet partisan song
Red Army is Strongest
Moscow Nights

I added some portraits of missing ministers. I just started, if you like I can continue.

Hey Q please continue of course. There are a lot of no pic ministers and leaders so anything you can do will be appreciated.

Hey PR that sounds great. I am still trying to dl the songs. Mega is being a pain saying I used up all of my dl limit. I never even knew there was a limit and I have been using Mega for many years. It only started when I started to dl World at War and Victory at Sea which are both really great. I am getting them from a friend.

Hey S I use skype every day so I do not know what you are talking about. What do you want to talk about? Check anytime and I am online. I am in China so there is a big time difference so I may be sleeping when everyone else is awake. I am 12 hours off of US east coast time.
