Hello Tera

I would be interested to help you. I would advise using the E3 map. For that map the default AI is good.

Firstly, thank you for even considering helping me with this project.

Secondly, how will we get into contact if you are going to do this?

Have you decided what map you want to use?
Have you anything, like a previous mod to start with?

What have you got so far?

I am only in the idea phase. I'm doing all of the research for the events and such.

I think the best thing to do is to have a look at some old dh mods, maybe ww1 mods and if you see anything you like, then use that as a base.
OR you could have a look at the E3 map and decide to use that.
It is more work to use dh as it is as a ww2 mod, but it can be done.

Just don't lose heart and give up. I'll help you as best as I can. But you will have to make the decisions as this is your mod.

I'm sorry if I'm useless on this, E3 looks good, but does it come with a list of provinces and ids

The best things start with an idea.

I was thinking if you used the E3 map, then sometime in the future you may add it to the Grand Campaign mod, which would extend that mod backwards, if I am correct?
The E3 map is more "seat of your pants" as it is not as polished as the dh map, which does have a set of ID's available somewhere. But you can always go to the console in game, F12 for the console, and showid to see the province id in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

I'm fairly sure the WW1 mod was with the E3 map? But there is probably another mod that used the dh map.

You do the map first.
From the map you get the countries and the country TAGS.
Once you have that you can do events using those TAGS. Then just the techs, which can be taken from another mod if need be?

I'm sure there are plenty of lurkers here on the forum who would love to help you with this...

I was actually planning on going father then 1920 if I can get it off the ground. I just set that as a time period to work around initially. I will think more and get back to you.

Do you think I should have many ahistoreical options?

Do you think I should have many ahistoreical options?

It is always good to have a percentage ahistorical. The main percentage historical but a 10% chance something else may happen?

 

[novapaddy]

You know there is a mod already in production... The Dawn of the Weltkrieg... which covers the same period you are interested in . Please check it out and see what you think?

This is not dead.

If anyone is looking at this thread, it is not dead. Actually, if anyone can, I need help finding ministers for the People's Rebublic of Canada. I'm sorry if that is to much.
