I'm still doing researches but Troelstra at the head of the state could be a good option.

I'm keeping mostly the same system and added a few 1930-35 there weren't so much military improvements beign made in these years I'm afraid. I've also added some 1940+ techs.

I'll do that soon and yes I'm intrested.

Amercia ? you mean United States only ? Still it's nice I don't know much about USAs except the big lines. About Japan that's fine I was planning an democratic-conservative path if possible. Most of the work is to find the political figures of that period and imagine what they could have done if things where different and how to place them in the cabinets without beign too much inacurate.

You've no country of predilection ?


When the first version is done


In amercia everything is possible ;) .


Russia r Austira or evan Germany....wat do u specificallly need?
 
Russia r Austira or evan Germany....wat do u specificallly need?

Plausible new generals for AH (guys that could have a chance to be it even if they weren't historicaly). With pictures of course. "Old but not yet retired" generals could be nice too.

And 1930 Austrian/Hungarian politicans that could fit in a Conservative Austria-Hungary. With pictures of course.
 

Here is still VIP map of Asia.

Soviet union (red), Khazakstan (yellow), West Turkestan (grey), East Turkestan/Sinkiang (brown), Mongolia (orange), Primorsk (far est yellow).

For China is about the start the central plains war. Blue : Fengiten clique, Dark green : Ma clique, brown-red : Yuhan clique, yellow : Chiang kaichieck KMT faction, dark yellow : Guominjun (Feng Yuxiang's clique), red : Commies, white : Wang Jingwei's KMT faction, orange : Legiation cities. Southern white is nationalist France, dark grey is german possessions.

Still I'm unsure if all is absolutly accurate and documentation mostly due to the lack of good infos I had to guess by myself :wacko: . If some china history buff could give me a hand I'll be glad. Especialy to find something to be put as Feng Yuxiang's flag and maybe leaders/ministers.

The KMT received a great deal of material aid and advisors from both Germany and the Soviet Union in the 1920s, which helped them put the Northern Expedition together. Their armies were quite a bit better armed and organized compared with the other warlord armies. In this scenario, how did they manage to reach the historical level of development and unification by 1930?

I'm not suggesting that it's impossible, but it would help to know if they've had any outside help. It's possible that the Northern Expedition could have gone very differently, or at least have been delayed without the assistance.

Also, has Japan been backing Zhang Zuolin and the Fengtian Clique? Who's the gray power surrounding Jiangxi, Li Zongren? Why are the Communists in control of Shaanxi instead of the GMJ?

Someone made me a very simple GMJ shield and flag a few months back. I've been using it in my mod. It's nothing fancy, it just says "Northwest" after the Northwest Army. Apparently, there are no available records of actual flags or banners used by the GMJ, at least none known to any of us here.

The game starting situation looks like this basicly :

China is between the interest of the communists in France and Germany who're using the same approach as did the URSS IRL : help the bourgeoisie to overthrown feodality first then the proletarian will enter in action, thus they'll tend to support Wang a bit more because of his (at least supposed) left-wing positions and with to colaborate with the commies.

On the other side Britain, Portugal, Nationalist France and Germany and america to a lesser extent wish to keep some influence in china. They tends to favour Chiang because despite his nationalist views he'll serve a bit more thier interest and especialy the fight against communism.

The "unification" of China was made from both side helps. For exemple comie germany send experts to the KMT and Germany to the warlord they were facing. The expedition was finaly achieved, but the KMT don't hold most of the military powers in his hands.

Also, has Japan been backing Zhang Zuolin and the Fengtian Clique?
Regarding Japan, they came to be very frustrated that germany was allowed to keep all it's colonial empire under British influence.This means they've supported quite a lot Zhang and they're more friendly with Wang faction for reasons you know.
Who's the gray power surrounding Jiangxi, Li Zongren?
Yes, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren all the new ghuanxi clique.

About Ghuanxi is Li Jishen who's thier "head of state" in vanilla realy the appropriate man ? I only found he was a politician, nothing of a warlord nor a military commander.

Why are the Communists in control of Shaanxi instead of the GMJ?
I wasn't sure where could they be ? Still I'll move the GMJ as it seems they're absolutly not where they could be have been.

Good to know, I'll stop to search in vain then. Can I use this flag ?
 
Afghanistan is always so minor Give Areas from those river bordering Pakistan to it!
I doubt I'll be possible with the british around. Anyway they sould have a good reason to have this part of pakistan ? That could be an intresting track of events maybe.
 
Big repport of advancement

The compatibility with doomsday isn't sure yet as the mod adds a lot of new nations tags that may exceed what's aviable in DD.

Here's the finalised map of Europa with new colors :

Every nation (maybe be not Albania) has sereval possibilites of political tracks and at least one warmongering path. The stability of Austria-Hungary and what happends in Russia will be have a key role in this.



Some finished starting cabinets :

Spain : Primo de Rivera is still there but it's not going to last...
Germany : The old heroes of the revolution are at the head, soon they'll have to pass the power to the young blood wich may have more radical ideas.
France : The moderate of the FCP is holding the power but it's not sure it'll last.

Inspired by other mods I've also remade some ideologies to fit a bit better the context of the mod.

Extreme right :
- Paternal autocrat becomes autoritarian democrat wich fits better regimes like marshal Pilusdki's in poland. It's a kind of reaction against the growing red threat.
- Fascist becomes autocrat (without paternalist) : It fits to "classic" dicatorships and non parlementary monarchy.
- National socialist becomes Fascist : National socialism dosen't exists and is quite similar on the aspect of autoritarism.
Extreme left :
- Left wing raidcal stays : A quite vague term that fits for every lefties that aren't social democrat nor communists. This includes the anarchists who'll have a chance (still very little) to take the power in some countries.
- Leniniste now becomes communist : No comments on this.
- Stalinist becomes Bolchévist : The political tentency has taken the name of the party, they're obviously more radical that the communists and not the main tendency of the majority in France and Germany, still things can change.

Regarding Asia, wich will be the second main theater of the md. China has recieved a serious remakings since the last screen. Two new cliques where added : Sichuan and the Guominjun of Feng Yuxiang.

For the technologies the mod is going to have a new techtree. The objectives are : Flexibility, possibility of improvement and modernisation for little/medium nations while making it a bit wider and realistic.
 
The mod looks like it'll be awesome, but why would Bulgaria get Kavala from Greece but not Edessa and Salonika, and why would they get Nis and Pristina from Serbia? Also are we supposed to assume the SCW will be Primo de Rivera against the left-wingers that have not been democratically elected? Not that this would've been possible if Primo de Rivera's still around.

After the war Bulgaria as the main ally of Austria Hungary attacked greece to retake thier claims, they took Kavala but where inable to break the line on the other sides. A-H intervened and told them to stop because the empire prefered to manage the British who where backing the Greeks. They gave a part of the unstable conquered Serbia to Bulgaria in compensation.

Also are we supposed to assume the SCW will be Primo de Rivera against the left-wingers that have not been democratically elected? Not that this would've been possible if Primo de Rivera's still around.
Primo de Rivera is about to fall, at this time he the Spaniards where tired of him, he lacked the support of the king and the army it was impossible to hold the power in such situation. What happens next will be the classic Kingdom Vs Republic struggle with many different paths and conclusions.

My bad, the mod starts in 1930 doesn't it? I'd been thinking he somehow managed to keep his dictatorship going for the 6 years he hadn't had this support. :D So basically the situation is Spain is exactly like OTL?

At start yes and there some chances things happens like they did historicaly but you sould expect other nations to be more interventionists at the point there's a risk that WW2 starts there.

Well if I can suggest something I'd have you not have José Antonio Primo de Rivera captured by the Republicans and killed and Sanjurjo not killed in the plane crash. This would, in the power struggle during or after the SCW, give the player the option and the AI a chance to take the path of a less reactionary and more revolutionary Nationalist Spain.

The options then would be Primo de Rivera younger as the most extreme (Fascist, 15% dissent), Mola as the Carlist candidate HoG with Xavier de Bourbon-Parma HoS (still Fascist 10% dissent), Sanjurjo (Autocrat, 5% dissent) backing Alfonso XIII so Sanjurjo would be HoG and Alfonso XIII HoS, and Franco (Authoritarian Democrat, no dissent) the common dictator.

Not to set those all in stone, just something to consider. Also if you need someone to make portraits for you, borders and all--not just for this, for the mod in general, I'd love to help out there.

This looks pretty intriguing. I'm looking forward to it! I've just started making a mod of a 1930-34 war between Japan and the US, so I approve of your starting time period. Let me know if you need any help with the Pacific stuff. I've got a pretty decent US and Japanese order of battle for the era (with and without the Washington Naval Treaty).
