I'm going to make a map (from a blank template) of all my ideas for changes. The Greater Austrian Empire is, IMO, completely unrealistic. Austria wanted to dominate the German states (thereby keeping the delicate balance of power created at the Congress of Vienna), not annex them (which would have considerable consequences to the aforementioned balance). Also, Prussia had a vastly superior army compared with the Austrian one. I have two suggestions for what to do instead: either we have a North German Federation (ruled by the King of Prussia, a rival of Austria), a South German Federation (ruled by the King of Bavaria, an Austrian puppet), and an Austrian empire comprising the rest of the existing GAR, or we have a Greater Germany united by Austria and with its capital at Frankfurt, with a Kingdom of Hungary ruled by another Habsburg king and allied to Germany. Either way, the non-German state s going to be an ethnic powderkeg waiting to explode by 1936, which could lead to some interesting event chains and wars.

And as for Sweden, my suggestion is for us to win the Russian War of 1788, thus including Finland as it stands in vanilla (except Petsamo). If the first of my German suggestions is implemented, they will be most friendly with the NGF, and if the second one is chosen or the status quo is kept (something I'm fiercely opposed to) they'd be friendliest with Britain.

Yeah, I support the idea of an NFG, it should be a constitutional monarchy, as was suggested by the Frankfurt assembly.

As for Sweden, we could let them lose the war against Russia, but gain Finland yet again during the Napoleonic war, that way we don't have to invent a fictional king, as we would have kept the Holstein-Gottorp royal family, and not replacing it with Bernadotte, the current one.
 
Right now? Well, I think we should get as much research on the history first to better understand its effects on Alt history(you know, so the AH isn't stupid) so we don't end up with a certain President Charles Lindbergh conquering Canada/Mexico for some reason/some how in 1930's isolationist United States(really, in the pteap events he just kind of becomes dictator all of a sudden, and when he demands Canada, Britain just gives it to the player most of the time.)

We should first of all I think work slowly on the mod. One person will work on some files/gfx etc, then work from there until everyone thing is coded. I think'll I work on the 1936 scenario file first, and then nation files(ie changing provinces, leaders, etc, capital location, etc).

Beyond that, I haven't finished that map(still waiting for Ares96's map though).
 
About this mod, well, I'd prefer General_Grant & Asalto's plan and Vojtechjan's plan on Poland.

Anyway, I hope I can see this mod finished and even have a version for DH~
 
well, thought everyone abandoned his mod. Been awhile. I wonder whats taking Ares96 so long. Look, the best time I can work on this mod officially is over the Summer when I have more time(look um, I hope this doesn't hurt my chances but I'm still in High School lol). Still, I'm very good at modding HOI2 and am a wizard when it comes to changing provinces and event modding and stuff like backgrounds. If it helps I know the Python programming language pretty well. I'm going to see this mod through.

I can do that.

Do you have a timeline for your alternate history? When does the history diverge from our own? I can't help with the modding, I have a full-time job, but I can help with designing an alternate history. This will help with designing the map, figuring out what the alliances are, plausible events for the game, any changes to the tech tree. The history between the POD and 1936 is the foundation of the game. If you haven't got that yet I can help.
