An important question for CORE modders high command!!!

[unmerged(36636)]

Hi CORE modders high command,




I wish to ask you a question. I hope you would answer me. Today for the first time I played CORE for HOI 1. You made a very perfect mod and did a great job. Now I wish to ask you as to why you just only concentrate on the World War II period for improving Hearts of Irons? You can create mods for say COLD WAR, MODERN DAY SCENARIO/PRESENT DAY SCENARIO. I know that there are others making those mods but if you make them you will make them great. Why limit CORE to WWII? If you also create mods for the above periods also I and many others would contribute to them at our best. Please think about it and let me know. Thanks and best regards.

Thanks for your support.

However, the principle reason is time and the second is that COLD WAR, MODERN DAY SCENARIO/PRESENT DAY SCENARIO are not really, in my opinion, supportable with HOI2 engine and other design choices. Let me be more specific.

Time: We all have Real Lives, this is a volunteer project, many of the CORE developers are HOI2 Betas, and WWII is the principle field of interest for most. I'm sure it will take all of this year to implement design changes and port events for HOI2/Core to get to a "really good mod". I say this because HOI2 v1.1 is very good, and HOI2 v1.2 will be even beter.

Not Supportable: Once nuke weapons become plentiful, there is no more global war such as WWII. Or to be precise, there can be ONE more global war--the engine doesn't fit.

How can you help? Go here: http://hoi.coremod.org/ start contributing and also think about making a small donation to keep the server and SW up

Just to add one thing to Kevin's post..

Modern Day, Cold War, etc all use the No Time Limit patch for HoI. CORE does not support that, nor do we have the time to support issues that arise from using it. As such, we concentarte on modding the game as released (plus patches).

Hello.

We are working on creating a historical mod within the timeframe of HoI. As such we have been focusing on that time period. It took almost eight versions of CORE for HoI1 before we felt that the 1936 scenario was polished enough to start working on the 1939 scenario. As of this date there isn't a plan to start on 1941 or 1944 scenarios for HoI1 or HoI2. This is even before starting work on a mod that would encompass a time period outside of WW2.

If you are interested in WW1 or the Cold War, there are mods out there for HoI1 and there are mods being developed for HoI2. I have heard good things about the WW1 mod (TGW Mod) for HoI1 and I understand a lot of the work is being converted for HoI2. Look at the main page of Mods and Scenarios for links. I do not know what their policies are on public contributions, but I would assume that they welcome all of the help that is offered.

I hope that I answered your question sufficiently. MDow
