Please tell me you had someone proof-read

how do u choose the new alternative ussr ? once u win the civil war u get to choose?

I thought it was too obvious to explain my words. Obviously, alternatives will available after Lenin death in 1924


???????????????????

Why do you always make a tantrum. Do you understand that you look like a clown? Do not embarrass yourself and stop hysterics
So you said that mod will available today. Interesting point, who told you that? My account was hacked and you received a personal message from me?






Friends, that's a lot for your words. I'm really glad to hear you all.


There are no negative changes in my plans. So yes, as I said earlier, the mod will be loaded in a few days.


You know... I'm read your comments, I'm see your enthusiasm for next AARs about PWV.

But i'm have only one question - Who will play for Ottoman Empire?

And what if I tell you that Ottomans will have opporunity to integrate former territories, plus Kazan area, Xinjiang and whole central Asia? ;)

Good to see you again Nikita, hope you enjoyed your holiday :)

Well now an Ottoman AAR was one of my back-up plans in the likely event somebody got to doing a Byzantine AAR before me...see this is what happens when there's too many awesome new possibilities in one update haha...AAR idea overload, which is the opposite of a problem really :p

Now though, now I say screw back up plans and the Greek has-beens...the Ottomans are the true successors of Rome anyway and no amount of Winged Hussars can keep them from their destiny!! See this AAR writes itself XD

But yeah looking forward to this new release anyway, I'm sure it will be awesome :D

Hi.
Wow. You've just have added Ottomans to my top list of countries that I will play in new verison of PWV. Honestly I am hyped for this mod like I was never hyped for any glodbal strategy in my life. The only concern I have is with AI, I mean considering how many paths have a lot of countries, and many variebles AI need to take into accout.. Well you've get the picture.
Looking forward for PWV more than ever!!!

Your rock dude

Thanks a lot four your support.


This update gonna to be a good one

Well, for new version i'm spent more time, than i'm spent time for Thunder in the sky. My works for a new version for ready mod took more time than creation of the mod from 0 (Thunder) I can't believe how much work I have done.



Well i not gonna play for Ottomans, i will crush those nasty invaders by Russian empire cos they conquered northern Kazan area from the Finno-ugric people about 11-century, well i know little bit this pre-historic time, cos i m amateur arhaeologist here in Finland.;)

Heh, thanks a lot. Speaking about Finland - like i'm said before for second part will added alternative about creation of the greater Finland. So Finnish territory be like a Finland + Medeival Novgorod Republic. And you will have it before WWII


Good to see you again Nikita, hope you enjoyed your holiday :)

Well now an Ottoman AAR was one of my back-up plans in the likely event somebody got to doing a Byzantine AAR before me...see this is what happens when there's too many awesome new possibilities in one update haha...AAR idea overload, which is the opposite of a problem really :p

But yeah looking forward to this new release anyway, I'm sure it will be awesome :D

Holidays were fine, but cat was bitten by a poisonous snake. (He is fine now). Thanks a lot for your words.

I'm also edited vannila events about Greco-Italian war. So Mussolini will never attack Greece if it's controls more than 40% of Asian minor. Plus like i'm said before were added events about co-operation between Byzantium and axis block (against allies, Soviets, Russian state)

Definitely looking forward to playing 1918, there's no other good mod that has this! Keep up the great work Nikita, excited for the update.
Holy Balls, can't wait to play with Trotsky


Intuition tells me that the 1918 and 1924 scenarios will be favorites for the players.

1918 - New scenario. New alternatives (Japanese Siberia, Austrian Sudetlands, Chinese Mongolia and etc). The very possible defeat of the Communists in the civil war.
1924 - Perfect scenario to see path of Trotsky.


Turanism for the Ottomans? Nice. But does this mean that you cannot core the Middle East? Or are these exclusive options?

Yes. Revanchism plus nationalism. These are not mutually exclusive alternatives. You will be able to regain control of the lost territory and continue the expansion into the Turkic territories.



Hi.

Ha. Current size of the Ottoman file is 277 KB (sic !!!). Means that Ottomans has more events than USA, GER, SOV, JAP and Kemalist Turkey


great mod so far:) thanks for your effort to make us this very interesting & enjoyable interbellum experience possible nikita^-^

Thanks a lot for your words. Also i'm hope that players will glad to see my new WWII doctrines for Italy,China,UK and new penalty system

Interesting, yeah I could imagine the Byzantines being one of those countries who could ally with either the Axis or Allies in WW2 seeing as they could make some nice territorial gains either way. Actually they could maybe even ally with White Russia if they won the Civil War what with cultural ties and such...although they'd probably just as likely see each other as rivals as friends so...works either way I think

Actually what you could do if the Byzantines exist is maybe an event for Germany to choose between aligning either the Byzantines or the Italians but not both. Then if the Germans choose to make friendly with the Byzantines then Italy could maybe align with France which is always an interesting alternative by itself. Maybe a Greco-Italian War wouldn't be impossible in this situation but Italy wouldn't be trying it alone. If they were friendly with the Western Allies then they might have their help and they could maybe try to ally with whatever's left of Turkey as well as whoever else desires to cut the Byzantines down to size...and the Byzantines almost certainly wouldn't have taken more than 40% of Asia Minor without pissing off some other countries so there's some potential there I reckon.

Can't help but think of what the Pan-Turanist Ottomans would do in WW2 now too...its hard to imagine them doing something other than aligning with the Western Allies since they probably wouldn't be friendly with the Axis...after all Hitler saw Pan-Turanism as a threat to his own expansionism and the Turks felt the same way about the Nazis, although I guess an alliance of convenience wouldn't be impossible...just fairly unlikely. Also a lot of the European territory claimed by the Ottomans would be held by Axis countries too so there's that. Although what we could see could be the Ottomans allying with the German Empire in a reformed Central Powers Bloc which would be plenty of fun :D

Anyway hope this is helpful to you, looking forward to this new release and seeing the results of all your hard work :)

Ottomans and Byzantium will have status "Axis strategic partner"
So basicaly they will use Japanese system - We have common enemies, but we are not members of the one military alliance.


You can attack allies in middle east but refuse attack Soviets/Russians.
You can refuse attack allies, but attack Soviets/ Russians.
You can attack them alll


Of course, you will have opportunity to take all your commitments and join the axis block. But you will have high penalty, since the generals, politicans and the population do not want to see foreign troops and military bases on their territory.


Off-top

I'm also adopted vanila Japanese events about "five ministers conference" for new alternatives. As you know, you had opportunity to abandon your plans for China and attack Soviets.
Now you will have opportunity to abandon Southern expansion and attack Russian Empire if Soviets were defeated somewhere in 1919


Also all vanila events like a battle at Khalhin-gol, battle at Lake Hasan were adobpted for reality where is no Soviet Union
