(...)9/11 conspiracy option(...)

lolwut

 

[Medibee]

9/11 conspiracy option, etc.

Care to repeat that?

 

[Pasha]

Care to repeat that?

I was going to try and explain it, but it's just too far out there, so here's the Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=9/11_conspiracy_theories

Not sure how he'll incorporate it into a mod though.

Between 1998 and 2001 some warning flags were raised, so the Clinton administration (or Gore administration if elected) can order a assassination or increase air travel security.
But in the event that the middle eastern nations would deal with the terrorists or the attack wouldn't happen for another reason the "controlled demolition" decision can be enacted to destroy the towers themselves to serve political purposes.
Note: I do not believe that the attacks were orchestrated by the US Govt, but the option of alternate history is always fun to play with.

Errm, not to dampen your enthusiasm, but this sounds more like an expansion for hansery's Turning Point and DreadGrunt's MDS2 mods respectively.
You may want to get in touch with these two for implementing your ideas.

I feel that this could be more independent of those mods, such as how my mod uses some things from them but is its own Idea in general. Perhaps Simon you could try to make a more alternative 21st century off of these Ideas, (you don't have too, but still just a suggestion.)

Alternative 21st century is actually what I had in mind. I don't want to make a mod just to tell everyone what the news said for the last 15 years, but rather create turning points and explore "what if" options.

I could help you greatly If you want, I have some good Ideas If you want to hear them, also If you had any type of files yet I could help fix any mistakes you might have made.

Help would be appreciated, I have a lot of things going on. I'll upload the work I made so far.

I now made a skydrive folder with what I think is all the files I changed, I'd send you an invite but I do not have your email.
Since you have the irish flag as your avatar I think you know a lot more about the country than I do, if you'd be willing to make some events and ministers it would be nice, please abstain from political bias if possible, such as labeling politicians you do not like as "fascist" or "stalinist" etc.

 

[Simon150999]

I sent you a link as a PM, the pressing matter right now is the technology, no errors reported but it doesn't really work as it should.
EDIT: I found the issue, all tech teams expired 1970 XD

 

[tyman323]

I have some questions and suggestions on the mod I would like to say here, remember they are just suggestions, and totally optional.
1.Perhaps you could have some alternative things at the start, not largely noticeable thing, such as perhaps the survival of a Fascist Spain, no good Friday agreement (active IRA movement in Northern Ireland), and other things like that.
2. Morocco Spanish war, in conjunction with Spain's change, One could have a different outcome of the Perejil Island crisis of 2002, resulting in a full out Spanish-Moroccan war, with different outcomes and different sides sending in aid.
3.IRA violence inside Northern Ireland, which could result in many different things, such as new treaty and ceasefire, or a large incident with Britain and Ireland.
4.Second Spanish civil war and possible border conflicts with a Democratic Portugal.
5.higher chance for gore to win.

1. The alternative history is up to the player and AI randomness.
2. Could be implemented.
3. Could also be implemented.
4. Probably not.
5. With the Republican controlled supreme court the chances are probably slim.

Okay, I only had #1 as a little thing, but I'm in the process of making GFX for IRE and USA (minister pics and Event pics,) I'll post some progress In a second.
Also it dosen't open as you sent the work you only just did, but which scenario did you write over, I get get it to work for me for now if I knew I can still write events so I'll send them to you to implement, but looks good so far
EDIT: I got it to work

Oops, sorry, I modified the 1936 scenario since the borders are the closest to the modern ones to begin with.
