Some time ago,when I was searching the internet for mods for HOI and EU,I came across one that generated a high interest for the,The Cold War mod.I followed on pp the mod,couldn't be waiting for the 1.0 release.After some time,the TCW2 team was disbanded and the mod was officialy dead.With the release of DH,beign impressed by the new beautiful map and by the other mechanics implemented in the game,I decided that I will continue the TCW project.

Untill now,I've done the map according to 1950,a few ministers(USSR,Romania and the other eastern block countries)I've added some national anthem of some communist and capitalist countries existing at the time(The Internationale,God save the Queen,Three colours,La Marseillaise etc).

What do I need?..Well,I need a graphic editor to make some now loading screens and backgrounds for the menues and someone who could help me with the writing of the events.All rest of you who want to help can give me the names,or if they are in the game,the id's of the ministers I need.
Anyways,thank you all anticipately and I hope that you like the ideea!

Edit:Also,forgot to mention.I need someone who could help me with expanding the tech tree.Keep in mind that this mod is ending in 1992,and I really need help on that.

Alpha Version 0.11

Are you just continuing their work on this new engine, or is this all built from the ground-up?
If the latter of the two, I wish you well. Don't give up like they all do!

Also, why 1992? I'm guessing it's because the U.S.S.R. is gone de facto.

No,I started from scratch because TCW is only avalible on the internet for HOI1.Also,I chose 92 because the Union was disolved in '91,and if you manage to keep the Union alive until 92',you win the game because I've changed the vp on Moscow and Leningrad,so it will allways outnumber the NATO vp(Moscow-50 and Leningrad-30)

There are plenty of different abandoned Cold War projects who have tons of different materials that can be used. So no need to start from scratch.


http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?462311-Cold-War-Extension-for-AoD they also have some material that you could perhaps use. Nomonhan is a very wise modder that can perhaps assist you and provide advice, when he is reachable. Kretoxian's CW has plenty of events, some ministers and graphics that you can use, but not as much as Nomonhan's extension mod. RDD for DH also has some material. I suggest you skim through the files of each of these mods and check what you think would be useful. As for Kretoxian's mod you do not need to ask for permission, he has already stated that anyone may continue developing it.

Hi!I do have some good news for you.I talked with moxs602 and he let me use his RDD tech-tree on my mod(God bless him!:) )ad he also stated that he may offer me help on my project.So,respecting the promise I made,here is the Alpha version of TCW3:).
Note:this version now is released for possible support from the comunity,beign incomplete,and it isn't ment to be played in this state.

I got some suggestion for you.
1. Resource, if it is gonna be modern war you need rebalance of resources.
2. Add new troops and generals
3. IC, you need balance them to modern day. This could be happend with event like RDD or you can add your self.
4. Wars, Korean War, Vietnam War, Six-Day War etc.
and good luck !!!!
 
Hi!I'd want to update you on somethig.Now the ministers are almost done,so I begun working on the ideologies and policies of every country,and I need some advice with the renaming of the ideologies.Now,the names look something like this:
-National Socialist - - >Totalitarian Dictatorship
-Fascist - - > Authoritarian Dictatorship
-Paternal Autocrat - - > Conservative Dictatorship
-Social Conservative
-Market Liberal- - > Classical Liberalism
-Social Liberal- -> Modern Liberalism
-Social Democrat
-Left Wing Radical - - >Libertarian Socialist
-Leninist - - >Socialist
-Stalinist- - >Totaliatarian Socialist
So,I'd want to ask you something,as I am uncertain with some things:first thing,I really want to have a "Militarist" ideology,to represent the military junta,but I'm not sure where to place it,on the left or on the right,and second,what do you think about the communist names?I'm alright with "Market Socialist" and "Maoist",but I want to change the "Stalinist" one,but I don't know in what:-?.I would simply rename it to "Communist" but I want to represent the fact that Stalin was a "little" more totalitarian that other communist rullers(eg. Mikhail Gorbachev)and there were countries even in the early 80's that adopted Stalin's ideas(eg.Romania under Ceausescu,Yugoslavia under Tito etc.)so I really don't know what to do on that.Any suggestions would be much appreciated:).

IMHO

-Left Wing Radical - - > Market Socialist (like China i.e.)
-Leninist - - > Socialist (like vietnam i.e. or cuba)
-Stalinist (like north korea)

For the militar junta i think it's a little bit more a prerogative of the right wing, so in conclusion :

-National Socialist - - > Ultra Nationalist
-Fascist - - > Dictatorship
-Paternal Autocrat - - > Militar Junta
-Social Conservative
-Market Liberal
-Social Liberal
-Social Democrat
-Left Wing Radical - - > Market Socialist
-Leninist - - > Socialist
-Stalinist
 
China is not Market Socialist at this period, so I think it's not necessary...
I suggest this:
Stalinist - Totalitarian Communist
Leninist - Communist
Left Wing Radical - Socialist (or something else for China after Mao)

Hey!Thank you for the support,guys:)!Here are the ideologies.Sadly I got to leave out the military junta:( because I couldn't find a good place for it on the sliders;I know it's on the right,but a center-right dictatorship it's not automatically a military dictatorship :-?.Anyways,tell me if you have anymore suggestions,because tomorow I will start working on the tech-tree.
Note:Also,for my curiosity.what countries would you play in this mod besides USA and USSR?:)

It's good. By the way, you must change the map colour of Burma because it's same like China and you get confused... For the tech-tree I suggest to make some custom technologies for the nations (I mean Soviet-only and US-only techs). I will play with the countries from the Eastern Bloc..
 
And you are a bit off with the ministers, Mikhail N. Tuchachevsky was a victim of the purges so no appearance in 1950 for him ;) the same goes for Litvinov in the last picture (not really a victim but got kicked out...)

I would play UK, trying to restore a world empire :p, or FRG to reunite Germany. Interesting would be Japan or China as well...maybe a Sino-Soviet war after the split...

Thx,man:).I'll fix that shortly.Also,I see that you know a bit of the history of Soviet Russia.Would you like to join me in the development?

Now,the main anouncement.The release of the beta version will be delayed a bit because I've now realized the amount of work that needs to be put into this mod.The beta release will be in mid-late july,and the full version will be released in september.Anyways,thank you all guys for the feedback and please don't hesitate to criticise any error you will see;we all lern from failures:).
Cheers!
