The power to create and destroy, the basics of being a human being

[unmerged(44411)]

I have already posted a similar thread on an other forum, but because nobody seems to reply to it; I will try it here. (Hoping that it won't get moved too fast.)

I have two very important questions:
1. How does one create an event and by that I mean, what basic rules do you have to follow, what basic elements are required for an event?

2. Is it (technically) possible to create a new type of unit and integrate it into the tech tree?

I would surely appreciate any response to any of my questions.

You might get better responses posting this in the "Mod" sub-Forum... since you are asking how to Mod the game.

There are text files in the HOI-2 directory that explain how the event commands and triggers work. I believe one of the explanatory files is even CALLED "event_commands.txt"

Units are largely hard-coded... you could not add a new unit type without removing an old unit type.
