OK I responed to some PMs and started collating small tasks I could use help with but have run out of time and must go to bed! 
Give me another day or two.

I have a little bit of a question:
Will the next version have map name changes? So that for example we'd see Den Instead of whatever the provinces name is now.
Also, I think it would make sense to create a scenario with "roleplaying" events taken out. It could be do multiplayer side of this mod wonders, since the game would be much, much faster.
Btw.
I love this mod, it's like a new game.

Glad you like it!
There are only a few role playing style events in the mod. One is FUSA only so won't fire if you don't play that nation. The other that springs to mind is simply and event pool which allows you choose a ruler trait at start of the game. This applies some ingame benefits and drawbacks in addition to nation sliders and ministers. For example, Wise trait gives you a small bonus to research in return for a penalty on your unit costs.
What slows the mod at all is the thousands of province control events and some other event pools which are checked for every nation.
Note that the mod plays a lot faster per game day than vanilla HOI2, especially when vanilla gets to WW2 in the mid 1940s. The hour counter flies past until the game hangs for a few seconds when it has to calculate a lot of events. So it seems slower than it is. The day speeds past, then it pauses. On average it's faster than vanilla with a limited map that is only North America and less ingame nations.
Yep, the new map has plenty of correct Fallout names showing on the map. Den, New Reno, Vault 68, The Glow, Maxson, Vault City, Shady Sands, Lost Hills, and many more.

Yay!
It's going to be awesome, also I do know about and adore speed being waaaay better than vanilla scenario (due to size of the gamemap I guess). What I've also meant was that less flavour events means less things to read for players means less pauses.
Can't wait for 1.1

@Ovg
I've already added an option to switch off the general game background information events if a player is bored with those. As to the hundreds of other mod events, well you have to have them.
@Any Volunteers
Some people have PM'ed or otherwise posted that they want to help with the mod. Here are some very small tasks that would be helpful.
* Someone to list nations that should not have their government type changed.
* Someone to complete the list of Minister IDs by nation.
* I need pictures for the Tragic event chain. However, I haven't finished revising it yet so can't post exactly what I need. I will post the specifics when the chain is written.
* Some people to test the new combat model and give feedback.
* Someone to write an explanation on what each unit type is for the mod manual.

I've made replacements for 8 minister faces, which were breaking immershun for me since I'm a very strange person.
View attachment minister replacement.zip
To install those, just paste 'em to your gfx/pics.
Might wanna make some backups first.
Is it ok to post it here sword? Or shall I delete it?

Great! Get us some screenshots.

It's OK to post it here, no problem. These pictures are quite good.
I can see why you've changed the pictures. Some of the ones you've replaced are famous from movies. Completely deliberate on my part. Anyone can replace them if they feel like it, of course.
The picture for Jesenjin definitely needs replacing and I'll include that in 1.1.

Basically, there're some pieces of information in New Vegas we may partially use, mostly in descriptions, flavour events and/or tech teams...
- Insight into structure, methods and outlook of Caesar's Legion - may be useful to enrichen the FoDD faction image, despite the fact that it's located in different part of states
- Insight into Pre-War corporations (RobCo, REPCONN), which may be useful as well.
- Some stuff about NCR and West BoS structure (for example, the Chain that Binds can lead to some RPG/flavour events). I believe, we can consider adding First Recon as a unit for NCR.

@JRHINDO
Those are great, thanks. Looks like an awesome game.
@Vladimir
We could easily add any of those points to 1.1 if you feel like doing it. I am busy rebalancing NCR and West BoS and have several changes already to achieve that. The new combat model changes the balance again and I am testing again. I can see I need to make some changes to the new unit stats but the broad principle of what Messenger has done to lengthen combat and make unit types more distinct is very good.

I already asked Wouter Weges to look for the following which I specifically need.
- A ghoul, preferrably in military clothes.
- Some armed ghouls as a group.
- A character who is a traveller across the Wastelands, has a weathered and lean face. This is an ex-Brotherhood of Steel Paladin who left the Order and went rogue.
- Same person in power armour when he was in BoS (any Paladin picture will do as the helmet is on).
- One card talks about a soldier who looks like a pre-War marine but is in the frozen north. So he could be inside a base or outside, preferrably there should be something to show he is in Arctic conditions. I have already used some of screenshots from Operation Anchorage, otherwise that style is perfect.
It might be best to not double up and leave these to him. I need these for the Tragic the Garnering event chain.
Otherwise, New Vegas screenshots and artwork would be useful. In particular, I would like custom nation graphics for NCR Human Regulars units. There are five models, excluding Powered Marines, so that is five pictures of increasing technology and military power. NCR pictures for Scouts would be useful also.

And at least one of them should be a 1st Recon in recongnisible red beret
I'm generally against using 3d graphics as mod graphics.. but in such a small size, after some edit they'll be alright
Yep, perfect.
@Vlad
We have a number of this kind of pictures in use already. I know what you mean in that they are often not as good as 2D artwork but the best of the 3D stuff looks OK to me. Anyway, you're right in that at a small size like for a leader picture they are great.

Messenger has agreed to do the NCR unit graphics. He is a Graphics Hound and will sniff out good pictures for these!
