Great Work. That little issue is taken care of. Also I have now fixed the CSA Order.

Load Screen
Hi Dustin
Here is a load screen I whipped up for use in Enterprize's Settling Accounts Mod (for my use, not as part of his mod)
If you would like to use it without the Text I can do that as well

I am leaning more toward that white flag these days. Still not sure though. That monument looks great. Where is it? If it is in Richmond it would make a great picture for an urban Richmond provence.
Meanwhile, I seem stuck in reverse on my orders of battle. First, I killed my CSA file. I renamed all the divisions. Easy enough, just long. But I have made an error somewhere so the game will not load. Try as I might, I cannot find the mistake. And beleive me, I have looked and looked. As for the USA, I make these orders by running the game then copying and pasting. The USA crashed some time in 1939. I had not saved because I was busy doing seomthing else as it run. Also my tech teams have disappeared. But I am forging ahead...note the misspelled title of this thread. War should be way. This will get done.
What are your ideas for events? And on the status of the Phillipines? And the Pacific Islands? If you really want to help make a leader file. I dread that like a Halloween on acid.

I have only played with the graphics so far, but I am going to start playing with the other stuff soon. One more week of school, then Christmas break, maybe I will have time then. The monument is in Richmond
Graphics? Actually a California flag would be nice. California is communist. My idea would be a pure red flag, with the top corner white like where the U.S. flag's stars would be. In that box, a red sickle and hammer. Or a blue background with a gold/orange sickle and hammer. But since you are making it, it is up to you.
Also, I could use that monument without the faded flag, and changed to black and white. To use for the Richmond picture.

Communist California,
sounds interesting? Have you read the novella Ecotopia? Washington, Oregon and Northern California secede from the USA and form an environmentally friendly liberal/socialist state . . .
Yeah that is going to create one hell of a complex politcal situation.
The Soviet Union likes California. California likes the United States. The United States does not like the Soviet Union.
Germany likes the Confederate States. The Confederate States like Canada. Germany does not like Canada.
You get the idea...
The Soviet Union likes California. California likes the United States. The United States does not like the Soviet Union.
Germany likes the Confederate States. The Confederate States like Canada. Germany does not like Canada.
You get the idea...
Wow man, this sounds great, I especially like your ideas and the background, btw that Gold/Orange or w/e sickle and hammer Californian flag sounds awesome. I played as the USA in 1.2. Started a '36 game as USA, changed ministers until 100%, watched as partisans kicked my ass silly(but only because I let them!). Finally, the CSA was created so I loaded up as them, but then California was created which created an issue. I got pretty angry when I couldn't annex America due to the pacific islands, the lack of manpower, USA not being national provinces(though I can understand that). Also, not being able to change ministers(though some were halfway decent), and the tech teams being completely whacky. Anyways....
My suggestions, Pacific islands go between UK and Japan. Phillipines though, depends on what happened between Spain and the Confeds(I think Spain had it before America, not sure). You could let Spain keep it, make it independant, or give it to Confederates. Or make an early event making it independant from either, or war in the country(would make an interesting war). Maybe make Hawaii independant(with probably less than 10-15 IC, decent navy, small army, very small airforce). Although, all of this would be quite alot of work I'm sure.
What else....What line of doctrines is everyone using? Naval and Land. Another thing, idk about all of the fortresses everywhere, though it was huge between France/Germany. I would leave gaps in it, maybe, or make it all weak. Though I do like that deseret can become kind of a North American Netherlands/Belgium. I'm a fan of the Human Wave doctrine(I'm odd I know), so I would like to see that for the CSA. I know it doesn't seem accurate because the Confeds would like to save manpower, but, it could just be seen as a militaristic society so more people are available to join the army. The event you have is good, but it would be nice if it were spread out more, with other additions. Perhaps something like "Germany, USA, USSR are trying to influence our foreign policies" Germany perhaps being the one trying to influence you interventionist, and seeing as how you're fascist would get a dissent reduction, while USSR would increase relations with USSR and California and set the slider towards the middleish depending on what side ur leaning too, but, increase dissent. And America would increase relations with them and make you more isolationist, perhaps even more dove lobby. Except, I wouldn't do it an all at once thing, making you 100% isolationist/interventionist. It's not very HoI2 as things are done piece by piece, as in Germany becoming hawk/gaining land/becoming interventionist, little events everywhere. Though once again this is all adding butt-loads more work, and my imagination is running rampant. Also, don't make the Air Force or Navy SUPERPOWERED for either side, maybe give America Sub naval doctrine so that they could build a sub navy to oppose CSA's super surface navy, and start America with a medium fleet. Make things disorderly slightly too. Wow....Well this is all my opinion, just what I would do if I had the capacity/patience/time(I know i'm going to die young).
In any case, good luck.

Here are the flags, etc. I have the monument at work, will post it soon
Oops, when I posted the graphics I realize I reversed the colors of the field and canton from what you asked for. I will do another set later, but right now I am off to pick up a pool table and I am sure that most of the day is going to get burned up in assembling it and playing

Good work. T.
I fixed the Pacific. Everything went to the United Kingdom except Midway, Guam, and Wake. California keeps Midway as it was an American possession before 1860. Wake and Guam were aquired later and have been given to an independent Phillippines. The Phillipines are a puppet of the CSA for now, but this could change. When I get it going I think it might be a nice base to help China beat down the Japanese.
Land Doctrines so far:
United States- Firepower Focus, Superior Firepower, and Delay
Confederate States-Mobility Focus, Human Wave, and Large Front*
California-Firepower Focus, Grand Battle Plan, Trench Warfare
Deseret-Firepower Focus
*Manpower has become almost equal since 1860.
Naval Doctrines so far:
United States-The first five five and Fleet in Being
Confederate States-The first five, and the full Sealane Interdiction Branch*
California-The first five
Deseret-None
*Keep in mind the U.S.'s air doctrines are far far better than the C.S.'s.
I would not worry about the defensive lines. Most are weak. They are pretty strong around Maryland Virginia to promote an effort there to sack either country's capital. The are very weak around the Appalachains because the Mountains provide natural defenses. Lack of fortresses would make for some quick victories, especially for the South. A quick drive into Ohio would cut the Union in half. I may attempt to prevent this further by giving the United States access through Canada to start the game. The only super strong line is the Mojave Line. It runs the length of the California-C.S.A. border (2 provinces) at a stregth of 8. This can be flanked easily through Desert though.
Events? What events? I do not have any yet. I am thinking about Confederate intervention in China. I may exploit the Phillipnes, Liberia, or South America to get more interventionist events. Poilicy and events are still in very primitave stages right now. Dove lobby events are impossible though. There is a masive arms race going on between the U.S. and C.S..
The Confederate Super Navy is not far fecthed. They have a very long coastline and valuable posessions in the Carribean. Also, they remember the Union Blockade. The C.S. models are also the world's finest. The United States navy can only be so big becaue they have a very short coastline. They will have a decent navy, but no where near the size of the C.S.'s. They invest instead in airpower. They have more advanced aircraft and many many more of them than their CSA conterparts. If war occurs, the Confederates will strike the U.S. econmy through blockade. The United States will strike the C.S. econmy from the air. That is the only way. The United States must import oil, so a blockade would work. A blockade of the South wold not work because of the long coastline and the C.S. can be totally self suffiecent resource-wise. The only way to hurt their economy is by blowing it up.
Trust me Contra. Everything I do on this I think through.

Ok, I finally got the C.S. order of battle done.
Here it is for now.
63 Infantry Divisions
6 Armored Divisions
3 Headquarters Divisions
9 Carriers and Air Groups
9 Battleships
18 Heavy Cruisers
18 Light Cruisers
12 Destroyer Groups
20 Sumarine Fleets
16 Transport Fleets
6 Fighter Squadrons*
6 Close Air Support Squadrons
3 Naval Bomber Squadrons
*Fighters, not interceptors. There is a difference. This was by accident, but actually makes more sense for the South.

Reading back over this other stuff I just noticed something T. You said you have only edited graphics so far. Looking at some of your other posts on graphics you might as well be speaking Chinese. Compared to graphics, simple game editing must be a breeze.
