Alternative flags for Balkan Soviet Republics are awesome. Especially Croatian flag, The idea of combining a Croatian "chessboard" and a Soviet flag is simply gorgeous
And special thanks for your work with events.

Thanks a lot, that Croatian flag is inspired by Belarusian one, as you may notice.
 
I agree with Nikita, beautiful flags and graphics. Very interesting events. This is a mod I never had any interest in playing, but now I'm very interested :)

Incredible work!

Information time!
And, as I promised, after the holidays new dev.diary will be posted, and here it is.

Dev.Diary 7

This one will be shorter and it will cover several topics.

First, new events are added for alliance of USSR and USSA in WW2.
AI is changed so they can't no longer ally without event.
When USSR is invaded they get event to ask USSA for help:
1.png

USSA then get event to respond. Choice is based on by which communist faction USSR and USSR are ruled. For example 4th Way faction in USSA will never help trotskist USSR. And only same ideological branches could ally while different will only send aid.
2.png

Sent aid of USSA comes in form of resources, volunteers and tech blueprints:

----------------------------------
Second change is option for Romania to ally with Allies.
If Balkan countries that are Romanian neighbors - Serbia and Bulgaria, join the Allies then Romania have event to do the same, this could cause pro-French elements in military to stage a coup, sieze power and ally with France:

Military dictatorship in Romania:

----------------------------------
Third, event for creation of PR Macedonia by USSR post-WW2 is improved, there are now multiple, alternative options:

Note: Like in previous dev.diaries this is WiP, could be further changed/improved before release.
 
>Looks good! just a small note, it should be United Socialist States of the Balkan
I have nothing better to do than make petty criticisms but, Balkan is a Turkish word eschewed by South Slavs. USSYugoslavia or just Yugoslavia (South Slavland) would have remained preference of their national title.

That state is not South Slavic union, but, the union of South Slavs (Yugoslavia) with and Greeks and Albanias, and they are not Slavs.

Diary is great, as usual.
New tensions and unifications in Europe, Middle East and Central Asia looks great.

But, Sheng Shicai should not be intelligence minister

He was paranoid and schizophrenic. He believed that absolutely everyone wanted to kill him. He turned his mansion into a fortress, with artillery and machine guns. Asian John Wick

Also he was a political prostitute. Before Great patriotic war he considered the option to join the USSR. But, during Stalingrad battle he suddently decided to support Reich and Japanese. And again, after end of WWII, he decided again to consider the possibility of joining the USSR. This plan was rejected by Stalin, as he wanted to maintain good relations with the Chinese Communists.

He was a simple adventurer, and he cannot be an important minister in the socialist cabinet.

Because of that liability of Sheng's allegiance I thought of him as siding with Central Asian communists when CASSF unify with East Turkestan.
Anyway, I wanted to add some prominent figure from East Turkestan into CASSF after unification, can you suggest someone else, for any minister position?
Wow! It looks great! Can't wait to actually play it!
Thanks...
 
Will DDR be able to reunify with German Empire if it is restored by Britain during the war with France?
In this "pack" of event that option is not added since we first have to make events for situation for division of Germany, which most likely don't get divided. Or it is liberated by Soviets and DDR is set up, or British landings from the north liberate and restore German Empire.

We have the same alphabet. Plus, like you said before you know Russian Lang. I would give you Serbian or English page, but it does not exist. Therefore, I am talking about the Cyrillic alphabet.
 
Thinking about more post-war content, I have always been thinking about post-war Belgium. It is obvious that Wallonian collaboration with the French nazi's would be rather large, seeing as they get cores on the land. The ethnic tension in Belgium is already referred to in the events regarding the Treaty of Strassburg. Also, knowing that France seeks her natural borders, a Francization project would be set up in the Rhineland, Flanders and Southern Netherlands to "bring the population back to their proper French ways".

First maybe a bit on the Treaty of Strassburg since it mentiones the "Flemish dominance of the Belgian state", which I think would not be the case. OTL, the Flemish movement was one of the main actors on the Belgian right. The Flemish movement had received a certain "boost" from the occupation and collaboration with the Germans, but also legitimization by fighting in the trenches (Hier ons bloed, wanneer ons recht). Now, what would change if it was the French Empire that invades? Well, I do not think that collaboration would happen on the same scale it did OTL. France would be more interested in, already, the potential annexation of Wallonia and even Brussels. Not to forget that the Flemish lads would be dying together with Germans and Dutch in the trenches at the Meuse and Moeselle. Interbellum Belgium would likely see a degree of federalization that only happened post WW2 OTL.

What would happen after the war? Albert's government would return to Brussels (assuming the British take the land, what the Soviets would do with it is a much more open question). Albert, now twice triumphant would get assassinated by Wallonian radicals. At that point you can get the option to let the elections go ahead or postpone them. If you postpone, you'll get one after the country is stable again. If you let them go ahead, the Flemish radicals (probably lead by Van Severen) can get the chance to become the dominant Flemish force. Wallonia will react with increasing anger, until a revolt of Wallonian nazi's breaks out, probably lead by Degrelle. It would be crushed, but it would seal the fate of Belgium. Flanders and Wallonia would break up, Calais could be returned to France and perhaps Flanders and the Netherlands would unite

Very interesting ideas. I personally don't know much of Belgian history so this is very useful.
I will suggest it to the rest of the dev-team.
 
Hi ! I am making an series with France . But i have an question : When must die Jean III ? (My situation : september 1940, Spain and Portugal are invading, Germany have surrender. But i invade it early in september 1939. And i don't make the decisions to invade Netherlands, maybe come from it , because i attack Netherlands manually....) Thanks for your answer !
 
Hello. I've just completely invaded mainland Britain with nazi France and still I get no surrender option. Before securing the British mainland I've also invaded and annexed Ireland but even in that case I receive no event for its releasing.
Am I doing something wrong? Are events for surrender of British Isles still not implemented?
I'd love to know thanks and cheers.
