Greece Improvement Package (V1,2 available)

LATEST VERSION: 1,2 b, get it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/245929114/GREECE_IMPROVEMENT_PACKAGE_V_1_2b_.zip.html



Hello all!

Despite Hoi3 coming out in less than 2 months (or maybe because i need to fill my time till then :rolleyes: ), i am planning to create a small mod, which will :

1) Correct several mistakes in Greece (mainly 1936 campaign)
2) Make the game much more enjoyable, a lof of events which will give you many choices, more realistic, and more playable (giving the ability to a good player to have a great game i hope).

You can find the forum of this mod here:

http://greekpack.forumotion.com/index.htm

I don't have much experience in modding, but i am eager to learn and have much spare time now (will also gain some experience so i can really get into modding with HOI3).
However, i will need help, both with ideas and modding. Anyone interested, post here and/ or pm me, and also register to the other forum (only members can post to avoid spamming).

The main changes i am planning for now:

1)Ministers (there are even dead people there! )
2)Tech Teams (change and add some)
3) IC-recources0forts
4) Starting Cores-territorial claims
5) Starting armies
6) Armies names
7) Events (properly displaying the coup in 1936, some events in the Greek - Italian war, events to simulate the Greek civil war etc)


My plan is not to make it too easy, but an enjoyable decision even if not going Axis...

Anyone interesting pls post, suggest, do whatever you think will help.


P.S. A lot of ideas will be taken from here:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4985847#post4985847


Priorities:

Ministers-tech teams-names etc (simple changes and corrections)
Ic-resources-forts-starting armies etc (playable nation)
Events (more enjoyable)

Ωραίος ρε, σκεφτόμουν να κάνω κι εγώ κάτι τέτοιο αλλά δε με έπαιρνε ο χρόνος με τις εξετάσεις και τα λοιπά. Άσε που σκεφτόμουν να το κάνω όταν βγει το 3. Όποια βοήθεια χρειαστείς, ειδοποίησέ με μέσω πμ. :D


Very good, i was thinking about doing a similar mod, but I had no time because of exams. I was going to create a similar mod when hearts of iron 3 comes out. If you need any help , Inform me via personal message. :D
 
V1.1 is out, minor corrections so far.
Changelog:

1) Some spelling errors in Ministers' names Corrected
2) Land Unit names Fixed
3) Air Unit Names Fixed
4) Ship names fixed (real names for all except for transports. Some names not of the corresponding type, but almost all are WWII greek ship names, the best i could do)
5) Army Names Fixed (to 1o, 2o... Soma Stratou)


More to come soon
Notice: Starting armies names not fixed yet, but the newly created will have the correct names. Starting armies names will be fixed in the next version.

We believe salonika is too small to be an urban province in hoi2... There are other much bigger cities that are not urban around the world... In hoi3 with the smaller provinces this could change...

Well, i personally do this as a training for hoi3, so you will surely see us in the new one :)

Does the mod make Greece easier to play? I'm looking forward for a historical/challenging Greece game.

Well, actually there is a double purpose:

1) Give Greece the chance for a great historical challenge, the ability to really fight against the italians as it did etc.
2) Give also ahistorical choices to the human player to enjoy his scenario without having to cheat.

So, I hope this will make Greece much more fun to play, especially historical due to the event chains added.

I wonder if someone ever had the idea to reunite all those "X Nation Improvement Pack" and then release a World Improvement Pack.
All in all, good job!

To tell the truth, I had thought about it, but, considering the workload required ( make sure there are no events with same ids etc.) and the fact that a lot of changes from different modders could cause a misblanace of the game, I don't see this happening in HOI2 with HOI3 coming so soon...

Would be a great idea. However needs a lot of hunting down improvement packs.

This is more important than ever, as the Arsenal of Democracy team is willing to include them in the release/patch. Thus finally we can have a game with proper names/etc.
