Ante Rebellum:
An alternate history mod for Darkest Hour


Mod history:
We started working on the mod for HOI4 a few years ago, but after growing dissatisfaction with the community and game itself, we decided to make the switch to good old DH earlier this year. Progress has been good, and we have created most of the major countries and are working on events now.



Timeline history:
In short, the Russian revolution of 1905 topples the empire and established a left leaning socialist republic. Without the Russian empire, Germany effortlessly wins the Great War and goes on to become the hegemon of the world. Japan carves out its empire in Asia with Russia weakened, and is unchallenged, for now. Following the great depression, the USA was unable to stop the red scare and was faced with a brutal civil war that divided it along the Rockies, with the remnants of the old federalist government in the east, and a new National Integralist order in the west.

Now, in 1936, the Soviet Republic threatens to awake from its sleep and throw the world into chaos. Will the old order be able to unite and stop the red wave, or will the Soviet Republic achieve its alleged goals of a workers' utopia?


The full detailed timeline can be read here

This is only an announcement, as the mod isn't ready to be released yet. However if you wish to discuss the mod further we are more active on our Discord.
Since we only have two developers, one of which is very busy, development is slow. Volunteers and input are very welcome, however keep in mind that we try to keep our scenario realistic. We have one PoD, and all events must follow that PoD, so no memes.

I will post pictures of the mod in the next post.

These are only a small part of all the events and countries added to the mod. I will post more in the future, but if you want to see some specifics for yourself, visit our discord.​

This is awesome...remember seeing some videos of the HOI4 version and thought it was a really cool scenario, so really glad to see this mod in DH

Best of luck to you and looking forward to seeing the results of this :)
 
Looks really quite promising. However with the AIs inability to handle multi-continent fronts maybe making the big African colonies into puppet nations is viable. Otherwise we will see stupid stuff like Germany and Britain deploying half their armies to the Africa only to have them die slowly from attrition. That or AI tweaks to downgrade the priority given to garrison Africa.

Thanks for the suggestion, we might do it in the future.
 
Nice idea to create a mod come from Hoi4. I will glad to see French civil war !!
But, i remember (i don't play on the mod from a long time) , about USA, Fascists are in the east and democrats and the West...
Which roles will have Huey Long in this timeline ?
Good job and good luck for next...
 
woah, this mod looks good and looks similar to a mod concept I had a long time ago.
 
Mexico is pretty much a blank slate for now, since we havent gotten around to making lore for it. But since you know more than us on the subject we would greatly appreciate some suggestions on what to do with Mexico.
 
Italian Partisans take control of it during the Austro-Hungarian civil war.
according to the history: 1922, 5th of April: A Syndicalist uprising in Friuli is instigated by USI agents. The Austrian military, preoccupied by the ongoing war is unable to contain the revolt and the privince comes under the control of Italy.
1923 25th of January: Treaty of Prague. A comprehensive peace treaty for the Third Balkan War is signed under the auspices of the British and German Empires. The treaty recognizes Hungarian independence from the Austrian Empire. The Yugoslavian-Austrian border is drawn at Istria, Carniola and Styria, while the Yugoslavian-Hungarian border at the Drava and the Danube. The Yugoslav-Greek partition of Albania is formalized. The Hungarian-Romanian border is drawn through Transylvania . Bulgaria gains most of Macedonia, leaving only northwest Macedonia to Yugoslavia. The Polish and Ukrainian annexations of Galicia are recognized by all signatories, while the Italian occupation of Friuli is declared an unlawful aggression. Both the German and British Empires begin aggressively courting the new regional powers in hopes of gaining influence in the Balkans.


As I understand it, Italian partisans occupied the territory of Trieste, not South Tyrol. And why did not Britain and Germany put diplomatic pressure on Italy to return the territories?
 
It might have been left out from the timeline, but south Tyrol gets taken by the Italian anarcho-syndicalists. Britain and Germany don't put any pressure because Italy has no diplomatic ties with most nations, and they were still recovering from the great war.
