Hello to all AoD-Wargamers,

I'm searching for the ultimate Arsenal of Democracy Version.

Clean Vanilla Installation AoD 1.07 Checksumme MZJY

I like this as my first modification: from fabfeingold - Axis Leader/Minister Pack
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?544469-Axis-Leader-and-Minister-Pack&

My second modification: from Hagar Propagandaminister CORE - Travel Guide
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...-travel-guide-for-Arsenal-of-Democracy-here!&

and now everything goes over and over.

Example: If I wanna use "Japan Improved" from bestmajor, overwrites Japan from fabfeingold.
If I wanna use "Tripartite Pack" from Titan79, overwrites many things.


At this point I like some recommendations.
 
(note that i'm biased)

install 1.07,
then ACIP http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?464901-ACIP-Ministers-for-U70-to-U99-countries&
then GIP http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...The-Graphic-Improvement-Project&daysprune=100,
then MGM http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?462315-Minor-Graphics-Mod-Megathread&
then TPP http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...PARTITE-PACK-for-AoD-(new-graphics-and-audio)
then Japan improved http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?465009-Japan-Improved
then Romania improved http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?465008-Romania-Improved
then coulor pictures for AoD http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?457925-colour-pictures (contains better CSVs for a lot of countries, including modified vichy event and New Skins and other items for the interface like these)

like i said thats only my choice, fabfeingolds stuff is cool as well, most is a matter of taste really

It could be named Consolidated Community Improvement Pack.

What about "Consolidated Community Custom Pack"...?

Hmm... wait a while... CCCP... no, that's already been used and it didn't work :D

It would be cool if a bunch of mods were made compatible and consolidated to a improvement pack.

well you get my permission if you give it a go. good luck!
 
Many Thanks bestmajor, GIP I've totally forgotten, but recovered in Doomsday.

Yes to all, I will make such "Consolidated Community Custom Pack" but for my eyes only. No compromises.
 
note if you want a very good germany you should take my colour pics. there is nothing better IMVHO. the CSVs are at the bottom of the package, installation takes 2 minutes. if you need the anschluss event let me know.
 
IMVHO is 'in my very humble opinion', and IMVHO the major's leader/minister pic sets are streets ahead of anything else available. His improved csv files are by far the most comprehensive and historically accurate lists going around.

If you want to add play modifications to your graphic changes, then I'd recommend CORE for AoD. You already have a sample of how thorough the CORE team is in Hagar's Travel Guide - and that thoroughness is equally present in their approach to game mechanics, settings, and events. It's a stand-out mod.

For me, please give me the anschlusz event.

ok here you are. the events replace the anschluss events for germany (AoD/db/germany). the dormant leaders list replaces the current dormant leaders list in AoD/scenarios/1936/germany). there are similar events for vichy france and the soviet purge in the file which refer to these events. just make a backup of those files somewhere (but i tested all these, so it should definately work).

btw, you should really try Titans counters in the TPP mod. reduces micromanagement a lot.

In in terms of quality, the highest praise for my humble work was the fact that 75% of the CORE model imagery in AoD ended up in AoD proper. So if the Travel Guide equally improves your AoD experience I'm more than happy! :) I'm working on version 5 of the Travel Guide, by the way, and can hopefully release a new build fairly soon. Version 4 is only available as part of the CORE graphics pack, I still have to put the download link for the separate pack up IIRC.

And I can only second Epa's praise for the Major's work. Absolutely top-notch!
 
Hagar you should maybe try to paint the province images. i only tried colourizing a bigger image once (TT for Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven) - i was surprised that its actually easier to paint than eg a german general

You want me dead? ;) I'd rather spend time getting the empty slots filled first and foremost. Besides, the B&W works well in respect to the rest of the interface aesthetically.
 
As a heads-up: version 5 of the Travel Guide is available from now on. :)
 
About version 5 of the Travel Guide Is there a picture of Jerusalem in it? if not maybe you can use this for a while..

Yes there is, though a more wide-angle shot of the city.
 
I already mentioned I believe that I have a variant I call 'mixed mod' which started with CORE, I then added SMEP, and finally Tripartite pact, and it appears to be the best of all worlds. There is a MOD called Gunships 'Iron Cross' which may be the best as it features a more detailed map and i believe some 5000 events. It would benefit greatly from something like Tripartite pact, if only I could get it to run over it.
