[unmerged(24942)]

A few people are interested in working on this mod.We need a modder most of all.We are all working our arses off to get help. Please if you are even remotely interested send me a message or reply in this thread. Thanx!

Wouldnt Victoria be a better template for the Napoleonic wars?

Off the top of my head the issues I see with HoI are:

Binary province control
No mechanism to simulate sieges (this is a big one!)
No control over the effects of leader traits
Lots of hard coding attached to the country tags
The resource/IC model doesnt map very well

 

[unmerged(24942)]

Victoria would be better however I do not own it. I cannot find it anywhere. So I must use HOI. I do own EU1 but I do not like it much.

Will there be any Teutonic Knights?

 

[unmerged(24942)]

There will be everything from that era if we ever get a modder. Getting a modder is the real hard part. If we cant get a modder this project will never get off the ground.

 

[Soapy Frog]

Well I very strongly recommend getting Victoria (I think you may be able to buy it direct from Paradox?)

Or EU2 which actually has a Napoleonic scenario already (1795-1820).

Unfortunately, while Victoria would be much better in the resepcts that the provinces are much smaller and there are "sieges" i don't know if it would actually be that much better because HoI has supply lines, whereas Victoria doesn't really have them :-/

First, no you can't buy Vicky yet from Paradox.

Secondly, the EUII Napoleon scenario is just...bad!

 

[unmerged(24942)]

Well, it would be nice if I could buy Victoria from Paradox but it probably wouldnt matter since I dont have a credit card anymore. Anyone here interested in helping?

Hey SouthernRebel,I would help if it was'nt you.Try buying EU2...it is already in there

BTW-Are you trying to act like the good guy in the Paradox forums

 

[Allenby]

....will the Bavarian troops be given brown uniformed sprites....?

 

[Strucky]

Will there be any Teutonic Knights?

Or any "SA Brownshirts"

I think that the best engine for Napolean's various wars is HoI. Eu2 was just way too quick.

Yes, HoI does have a better engine for it then EU2 but... HoI is like... Well, HoI is um, how do I put this... Made only for WWII... I think making a WWI mod was stretching it... But I appluad anyone if they do make it...

One problem I see was that the Nepoleonic Wars were not just one war like WWI or WWII... It was several dozen consecutive wars in which allegeances changed so quickly...

Also, there were A LOT of countries then, too many for HoI to have I think...

 

[unmerged(24942)]

Well, this mod doesnt seem to be going anywhere. I have did a lot of work for it but I cant get in touch with anyone else. This seems to be yet another good idea turned into a failure. Maybe I should just join the MDS or Cold War team. :rofl:

 

[unmerged(24942)]

I am currently trying to purchase Victoria but it is an almost impossible task. Since, I live in a small town in Tennessee, there is not much of a chance of me finding it. I do own Europa Universalis 1 but I cannot find EU2. Anyone out there interested in selling their Victoria copy? Send me a pm.

 

[Soapy Frog]

Have you tried ebay or online stores?

 

[unmerged(24942)]

I mentioned earlier that I do not have a credit card. So it makes it impossible for me to obtain this game.
