Several questions on modding

[unmerged(34993)]

I am really sorry if such questions were already asked, I have not found so...

1. Is it possible to add new unit types to HoI 2? How?
2. Is it possible to rename provinces on world map? How?
3. Will game always end if two "big alliances" (aka allies, axis and commintern) are destroyed? Is it possible to disable it?

1. Is it possible to add new unit types to HoI 2? How?

No, you can only use the existing ones.

2. Is it possible to rename provinces on world map? How?

No, only on statistical pages or in other words everywhere in game except the map.

1. Is it possible to add new unit types to HoI 2? How?

It is possible by editing existing ones. But you can do it in quite large range. For example as a new unit you can create cyclist or even muskieteers (as inf. div.).

But all this things requaiers a lot of skills in modding in units and techs files. There is a lnog way to understand everything and a lot of work.
The best way to start is downloading CORE or HSR and start to look how all this things works.

First start to learn how to edit existing units and then how to edit techs, then how to add new one.

Wont units made like upgradable to each other? So, ex. I make new Inf model with number 10, errr... motorcylicts. Wont all my lower level infanty upgrade into it?

They cant upgrade if you include a blank model that is never available to build. For example I use fortress divisions in my own mod and they are from the garrison file. The model numbers break down like this;
model 0-2 Garrisons
model 3 blank
model 4-6 Fortress
