Does anyone know of a comprehensive. world wide map mod for HOI2 DD/ARMA that will work with AOD? AOD sounds terrific but my biggest wish was always more provinces - any advice on where to find this, if it exists? I've found numerous Mods with a new map (1964) but no plain vanilla map mods.

Actually only very few mods use a new map. The best thing I could suggest you is the E3 map which comes without any mod included(although some mode do use it). It's in no way intended for AoD though.
Thanks, do you know where I can find it? I've not been able to find the link, only a thread about the mod. In your opinion do you think that it will work with AOD or should I wait?
They won't be releasing a AoD version anytime soon so I'd say try it out, expect some minor glitches with events and stuff like that tough.
paramount objective
I think, the implementation of a real map mod ist a paramount objective for all AOD modding in the future. By increasing the number and shape of provinces the game experience can be impressingly improved. Of course, we do not have to go the hoi 3 way, which was simply too much, just double the ocean provinces for improved naval realism and very much increase the number of provinces in regions important for the scenario for real encirclements and real tactical maneuvers. Of course, also, this has to be totally made compatible with the ai. So my proposal is, that before any modding, every efford has to be made into map improvement. Of course all following mods would so much benefit from one map mod for all.

Second.
IMO, mostly America needs more provinces for better "conquer Latin America" quests and better campaigns in the USA. Just my opinion.
I am currently working on a "real" map mod. I have worked out some artworks you can find in the forum. Formerly known as Projekt New Europe, but I also need some info from Lennartos..
The E3 map is still limited by HoI2's max amount of provinces. I definitly hope a new map mod will be made that takes advantage of AoD's higher amount of provinces.
I'd more see it like an upgrade of E3 - it would be a shame to wast the good work done on that map.
Hm,true...tried it too,and doesn't work.
I myself am quite curious to see what's wrong.

Oh,and that Polish guy said that it took him 10 minutes to wait to see AoD work.But after that it worked normally.
I think its the map which may cause problems around.I guess it loads too slow.

Some of you say that E3 map is using Hoi2 limits I am little confused
Didnt Hoi 2 use its limits on normal game I mean if its using than why trying to work on E3 ??
or
Simple question E3 map has more provinces than normal Hoi2 map ?

I think the moved around provinces from non-critical areas to parts important to the war, such as Europa and Russia. Plus it makes it look a lot less like a boardgame because the coasts are a lot more clearer which is another reason for them to do the mod.
