So I decided to get into modding darkest hour, and looked in these forums how to do it. But i have a problem: nowhere can I find what the actual basics are! What I want to create is a mod which uses the same map, but with changed dates, technology, countries, units, soundtrack and the background of the interface. What do i have to do to even start?

Also, what files does a mod need to have so it can work? I have gathered until now that mods are simply a bunch of folders with the same name as those in the game files, which the game uses instead of the vanilla ones. Is this how it works?
