This CSA will get done...one war or another.

For some unknown reason I have discovered while running the game fixiny my battle orders the United States is determined to coup Venezuela. I guess it is becaue of their oil shortage but it is failing over and over and over again. I may have to tinker with the ai know. Damn.

Hmmn is your USA leader named Bush and the Venezeulan leader named Chavez? :rofl:

Now that battle orders are done my work switche to tech teams. Ideas Suggestions?

Also I just ran my first battle test. I played as Afghanistan after starting an American War. The results were excellent. The war lasted almost four years. Wars of attrition are always fun. The CSA won, but accepted a rather ruthless peace with the United States instead of outright annexation. They did annex California though and thanks to an American annexation of Desert, much of it as well.

Hi Dustin

Was it you who wanted the Davis Monument. Here it is

Good lord, that was a mistake. I gues this picture needs shrinking. And on the screen it is green and red. Hmm.

Well, if you don't have software to resize, let me know what size you want. I have not worked with city bagkrounds yet, but if you want me to try and make one I will. I suspect the green and red has to do with a palette issue. I will look at it tomorrow and try and post Richmond skyline graphic in game format for you.

 

[unmerged(44611)]

No, that is ok. I already emailed another guy the old Confederate capitol building. Turns out the they used the Virginia State House and I found a picture of it at Wiki. It is the same building they use today, just with some remodeling here and there. It is too bad that Atlanta and Charleston are not smaller. They look a little big to be urban. But i may change my mind. I mean the North has Boston, New York, Newark(although I edited that one out), Philly, Pittsburgh(edited it out too), Detroit and Chicago. Miami might be a candidtate. But I see Houston as the South's third largest city (Richmond and Charleston) and it is huge.

 

[unmerged(44611)]

Well, that is not working out either. This time it wont even try to use it. Maybe you can get it to work. But the pic I want is of the VA state capitol. There is a good picture if you look it up on Wikipedia.com. That is the actual house that the Confederate Congress met in.

 

[unmerged(44611)]

I finally worked out how to posyt an image, buit the map is too big for any of the freebie easy sites. I could email to to you and you could shrink it to post.

Also, think you could get any tech logo to work. I have found mot of them I am going to use, I just need them made to work in the game.

Tech Teams finished. 25 for USA and CSA. 10 for California. 1 For Deseret. All are historical except for the people teams who work for doctrines. I also had to make up one for California. I could not find one gun manufacturer based out of the area.

Hmmn not my area of research, but lots of companies turn to the War effort when needed. You could just steal some machine tool firm name, but making things up is cool too.

 

[unmerged(46065)]

yikes, only one for deseret? i dont play super minors much but dont they have like, at least 3?

You could make up one, just have the name of a province/city/state that deseret controls in the name of it

And yeah, what you made sounds good(forces, etc etc), And seeing as how you tested it and the war actually lasted, awesome. Are you gonna maybe add events to add the nations into certain alliances? Or that they have an event that creates their own? That would make things alot more interesting too.

 

[unmerged(44611)]

I am suprised, but not many people seem interetsed in helping me and building events from scracth is a bit past me. I have not worked on it in a while. I should finish eventually though. All I have left to fix is VP, manpower, and leaders/ministers.

Well, if you can mess around with the scenario settings and such, making events should not be too much of a hassle for you...Id say 60% of event making is taking existing events and editing them into 'new' events.

Plus, Im sure people would contribute ideas if you start them off in the general direction you want to go...

 

[unmerged(44611)]

An event idea huh? Well I read something the other day about Sino-German relations. According to teh article, Germany in 1902 tried to create a German-Chinese-American Entente. While this was short-lived and far fetched, it might work with the Confederate States. Maybe the Intercontinental Alliance with Brazil a member also. I guess after the CSA helped the UK win WW1 relation have deteriorated. Trade has tanked becaue of the depression and they are irrritatted with Euros in the Carribean. Maybe they promise Brazil the Guyanas. And an event making the Carribean Islands claims of the CSA.

Also a Japanese event would be good. A Sino-German alliance (that existed for a shiort time in the 20s) would put them in an odd poition. An event were the Japanese see they cannot start a war with both sides and must choose to either align themselves with Germany and give up China or with the Allies and give up South East Asia, Or both and go for the Soviet Far East. Or neither and commit suicide.

Hi,
Don't know if it would be of any real use to you, but just in case, you may want to look at my mini-mod/scenario The Southern Road to War. There may be something of value in my own CSA in WWII mod.

The read me is here: http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=230049

Hope it helps, and best of luck on your mod!

Working again. Manpower finished. 50 annually for U.S. 41 for C.S. 12 for California. 3 for Deseret.

This sounds great.

Isnt the CSA manpower a bit high? The USA would have a population 3 times more than the CSA, probably at the least...

 

[unmerged(44611)]

As I said before, this is 70 years later and the South has industrialized and split immigration with the United States. Charleston is as big as New York and Miami is as big as Philadelphia. Atlanta is Chicago. Houston is Detroit. You get the idea.
