Arsenal of Democracy is fully compatible with 1.3 and Arma Mods.

Due to the fact that we only added a whole lot features in the source code and were not removing anything or changing the structure how the code is build up (e.g. save game parsing) , there should be a full compatibility.

Code: 
if you think you got an good hoi2:arma mod
you wish to be integrated in AOD post your
suggestion here and we will go through it and
contact you afterwards which stuff we can use and implement.
at first we love the game and want to improve it.
if we would be after the money,
be sure as hell that we wouldnt even had considered to do this.
feel free to spread the word about AOD, maybe we get some
of our ideas in future hoi games implemented

If you propose a Mod, please use this format :

Name : <name>
Mod : <SHORT description> <type (colors,events,pics,etc.)>
URL : <mod url>
Responsible Contact : <forum name>
What does it change : <short> <short> <short>
Compatibility to Vanilla Hoi and other Mods : <low> <high> <no problem (my favorite)>
Responsible Modder Agrees to have it in : <yes> <no> <dont know>

Is it possible, that AoD would support Moddir technology, like EU3 and Civ4? That would be great for guys, who love to test and play several mods at once.

Not sure if this was spurned because of the PM I sent you but I think most modders would agree. We don't care if you add stuff in from the mods as long as you ask for permission.

I know that for TRP I have taken the AI files I gave Paradox and created tons more of conditions etc.... and more refined. Several mods have used my work as their base and some mods (CORE) took most of it and modified it to work with their mod. Since modders don't get paid for what we do and you obviously will get paid for this game, out of respect I would suggest you ask the modder(s) whose work you wish to use for permission. I think 99.9% of the time the answer will be yea go ahead.

I am mentioning this as TRP was the most popular mod for HoI 2 and had the most drastic changes done to it from Vanilla to enhance the AI (such as extended combat so the reinforcement AI would be used).

I think you should check with the guy behind the SMEP mod for some events. Keeps very close to the vanilla HoI2 experience, but fixes all loose ends and what-ifs in the event chains like different surrender scenarios. It's also a "finished" mod like in stable and polished.
 
Oh yes, please do try to import some events. The vanilla HoI2 experience is to me, after playing some mods, pretty bland due to lack of events (HoI3 is horrible in this regard, I can't force myself to play it, it's so superficial :wacko:). If you could incorporate some events, especially the what-ifs, it would be swell. :)

So I take it that only moddification which concern the game engine and OTL events will be intregrated!? And not alternate history mods!

I would love to see a Kaiserreich scenario! That would be awesome! Not just for those who never played it but a huge step for the veterans.

I'm more than interested in contributing events from SMEP. Please contact me if you're interested also.

Please do this. The vanilla surrender events are really disappointing. I'd much prefer SMEP's events.
