Please add the HOI2 CCIP mod to Lite

[TremblingBlue]

I've been playing a lot of multiplayer on lite and it saddens me that China really was neglected during the HOI2 period. Post war China is literally stagnant, with no events to unify the country and nothing supporting the civil war.

I used CCIP quite a lot in the past, and I would like to see an inclusion as it was an excellent mod which made China an interesting country while keeping it in the realms of reality. Does anyone remember it?

I know mirrors must exist somewhere and I do have a copy of my own on a disc.

There are so many typos in HoI2 CCIP, and it is English only and will require translations so it is highly unlikely it gets added to the base game for Lite given that our primary development focus is on DH Full.

If you want to try CCIP for DHF or work on it,

I see. I guess the translation is a huge problem, despite the fact I would be willing to rectify the typos.

I'll be coming back to full after the new patch. Lite has been a bit of a breath of fresh air when it comes to manpower issues etc. Is CCIP not incorporated into full yet?

If you like Lite's mobilization system, you can copy it over to your own DHF copy and just remove the mobilization event system.

1936 CCIP is not a part of 1936 DHF, the changes made by CCIP are rather large and we didn't want to potentially mess up anything (given that Japan AI system got a rewrite in 1.03 RC1 which we thought improved Japan AI, and there has been a change to AI in 1.03 RC3 which may also make it better) in terms of game balance. Some aspects of 1936 CCIP may be incorporated in 1.04 given how the current China-Japan balance seems to remain broken (based on my own internal tests) if I get CCIP for 1.03 to be balanced.

That sounds wonderful, but I have no idea where these things are located! That's the only thing that's put me off multiplayer attempts on full.


To me the balance lies with troop numbers on the front line at the beginning of Marco Polo. That decides the entire direction of the conflict in one go.

Maybe a lowered troop organisation/strength for China at the start would help, with a gradual rise through events (determination in the aftermath of Nanjing, Bombing of Chongqing etc.). Plus taking lend lease into account. That could have the desired historical effect, given Japan's early victories.
