I've decided to create a new thread dedicated to this project, which I am currently working on.

Here is a video showing a brief demonstration of the Scenario.


This scenario relates to my Domination of the Draka Mod:

Domination of the Draka: Main Thread

This mod has been around before. There were some bugs which I managed to fix. I decided to share my work. The game is still officially in a Beta stage. I have run the game through to the end of WW2 many times and have found there are no...

My question is: Is there anything in particular you would like to see included in this scenario? Such as any events, units or minsters/leaders?

So far, I've created the map for the Scenario, to the best of my knowledge of WW1 geography. Do tell me if I've missed anything out.

Meanwhile in Europe, the Scenario plays out much as WW1 did in our real-world timeline.

Austria-Hungary annexes Serbia.

The Germans are advancing into Russia.

While the Western Front has ground to a stalemate.

Are you a fan of the Draka books? How familiar are you with the series?

I've only read Marching Through Georgia about 10 years ago. Although I remember their WW2 equipment being slightly more advanced than OTL and remember a character referencing steam powered tanks in WW1, that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Also Abenra should be part of Germany, not Denmark. The map looks very nice, i wish every mod would use it but its a lot of work to transfer events i guess.

I think if the texh is slightly more advanced, than you can use the ideas of Jules Verne.
For example he predicted tanks, but he called them Land Ironclads. https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/hg-wells-land-ironclads-fictional-tanks/
Early motorized infantry could also be introduced in ww1. In otl bycicle units were already used in the beginning of 20th century and motorization could enter its early steps.
Early helicopters similary could enter the stage since it already did iin 1918 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petróczy-Kármán-Žurovec

These are good suggestions. However, the Draka books do not mention Landship tanks, Motorised units, or helicopters being used in WW1. Only in WW2 do the Draka have technology that is different from the real WW2. This is highly emphasised in my 1936 Draka mod. It's possible that they may have had different technology in WW1, but it's best to work on the balance of probability.

I want to add that I seem to remember another mod a while ago that did try to introduce early motorised divisions, but it spoiled the whole WW1 gameplay and made for an impossible tech tree. Therefore, it's best to stick to what is familiar to people and to adhere to expectations.

East Asia in this Scenario. Japan conquered Korea, Taiwan and Manchuria earlier in this timeline.

I think I see Cai E (also known as Tsai Ao) as the Taiping Head of State? While it is obviously impossible to say what would have become of them after their victory, I think it wouldn't be out of the question that Hong Tianguifu would still be alive in 1914, being 64 (turning 65) years old. As for his portrait, could just leave it blank.
