I originally got into modding the game in order to correct what I perceived as being the lack of certain puppet regimes. Along the way, I got more and more interested in the Asian aspects of the game, especially with the time frame extending to 1953. I especially would like comments on the Korea and Vietnam features, in getting the Korean War and Vietnamese campaign against the French working right. In addition I believe there was also a futile Dutch war to reclaim Indonesia. I think also there needs to be, in addition to Doomsday, a "normal" 1945 scenario. If anyone is doing a Korean or Vietnam War project I'd appreciate the links.

A full link is in my signature, but some of the major things are:

1) Japanese surrender to allies event improved! Includes both Yalta and non-Yalta surrender. (Yalta is easier to achieve--do not have to invade mainland Japan--but requires participation by SOV, USA and China in the war against Japan and possession by the USA and SOV of specific territories, and forces postwar events in Korea and China to occur--non Yalta requires China plus EITHER the Soviet Union or both, but also conquest of major cities on the home islands and the postwar division of Korea AND JAPAN is up for grabs).

2) Puppet England in addition to Scotland (Scotland is in vanilla but England isn't)

3) "Red Vichy" option for Soviet Union in the event of an early conquest of Germany

4) Dietsland instead of Flanders

5) TWO VIETNAMS -- I use the IDC tag for normal Vietnam and the VIE tag for the communist version. Ho Chi Minh, Vo Nguyen Giap and Le Duan are no longer in the same army as the rest of the Vietnamese leaders.

6) Quite a few historical corrections in Asia.

Isn't Scotland already in vanilla?
 
Comrade Brian,
Scotland is in vanilla but the England puppet isn't. What I mean is that you have to release both states to cover the main island. Neither one can cover by itself.
 
This mod has been upgraded to Doomsday 1.3! I am also planning to work on a Cold War Mod, starting off with the Chinese Civil War.

It sounds awesome! But would you make it compatible with Mib's mod or even talk about cooperation between both mods? Since he's working on China, and you are working on Asia, wouldn't that be great if people get to play both mods at the same time?

I'm expecting the presence of another great project... :rolleyes:
 
We have slightly different ideas about a few things and different ways of doing some things. Will however post something in his thread, and he is welcome to use any of my material as long as he gives me credit. Would very much like to work together on a cold war mod. There was another cold war mod out there that was closed by the admins because of non-production. I however at least have an initial prototype which is in my sig.
 
I've done an interim update (0.53) which includes a whole new series of events relating to the troubled province of Xinjiang. There is also a new liberatable nation-Turkestan! (amalgamated 5 Soviet Central Asian republics plus optional Xinkiang) and some new flags. This is the last update I will do using DD1.3.
Next will be the 1.3a process.
After that I'll be looking at the new 33 and 34 mods with an idea of possible merger or add-on. This is especially due to the fact that Xinjiang had some significant events in the 33-36 period, which may include (in HOI2 terms) war with Xibei San Ma. So far I don't have explicit war with Xibei san Ma, but have scripted some partisan events to simulate the trouble in the province.
