Japan Warlords Mod

[Elecwaves]

ok, I got the idea for this mod I don't know where from, but I thought it would be cool if we split Japan and maybe Korea and some islands nearby into different countries, it can change as WE go.

That gets me to my second point, as I am a simple modder, modding buildtimes cause I want IC in 3 months not a year . This means that I will need some help with this mod, hopefully from experienced modders, but even limited modding experience is helpful and surpasses me... for now

I want this to be a scenario file, one that you can add to your doomsday game, or HoI2 game, if enough people want it for both, and play any other scenarios and it won't change anything about the normal game or theother scenarios. The map will be balcked out, except for the areas that will be fighting in the scenario, so that will keep our workload down, and hopefully means the game will run smoothly.

also, if anyone knows how to make it so we can change games start date so that it's not 1936 but like 1930 or earlier, your help will be much appreciated, if it requires the game have it's own application startup, then I can deal haha, hopefully not though .

anyone who wants to help me out just tell me in this thread

you could have Hokkadio, the kuriles, south sahalkin, and possibly the northern part of Honshu under an Ainu state, and a tokugawa state also

rcduggan: I'm sure there's a helluva lot of thigns I can do haha, I think I need to decide if I want it to be an alternate history scenario, with it still running in the 20th century, or make it a medieval mod. If alternative history, then we'd say that Japan was never united, or that soemtime along it broke back doiwn into warring/peaceful factions.

doing a medieval scenario would require a re-writing of all the units, and everything, it would be alot mroe work, but could be fun too. Also we'd have to decide on who goes where, but thanks for the input I appreciate it

making a medieval mod would be extremely hard.... take years probably

i was thinking that the Boshin War and the meiji restoration goes bad, and japan collapses into feudalism again

Japan has too few provinces to make such mod good. Most of nations would be 1 province microminors and annexing them would not be that difficult and wars would be quite too easy.

in which case might this be better suited to vicky?

seems similar to those added japan scenarios from Magna Mundi

yeah, that's what I was thinking

Yes indeed.

Have you played Eu2? If you have, good example of mod of this such is Japan in MyMap.

Srry everyone I was setting up new computer, and finally got back to Forums.

I was thiinking that many of the countries would be 2-3 provinces, and that we'd be able to script the AI for the needs of the game, I was thinking just as a quick-moderate scenario you can play that still has alot of possibilities, I eman I'm open to changing it into a Chinese Warlords, if that seems a better option to you guys.

Keep up wioth the criticism and ideas too guys, I really appreciate it, this is the whole reason I'm on here

 

[unmerged(61606)]

the chinese warlords already are in the game, and mib's mod is improving them

so if anything, i think we should stick with japan... maybe combat harder and take longer to the small nations would last longer?

 

[Elecwaves]

I know the Chines Warlord's are in the game, Guanxi Clique, Shanxi, etc. if we did it like the Japan one, it'd be ahistorical, and have like 15-20 different ones.

Someone's already doing that though, so I would like to stick to Japan, and I was personally thinking last night playing HoI2 that if we wanted to add some extra essence, we could include the coastline of china, I have no idea how we could organize that (One big state) or many, but I'm really thinking that for an ahistorical part of Japan, The US would have never made the diplomatic mission to Japan to "convince" them to open their borders and ports to the world, it would make it easier to explain the seclusion of the Japanese mainland.

first time setting this up so by the end of this week, hopefully sooner, I'll get a pic of what I was thinking of the total map area, and we can discuss unblacking parts of it, or covering more up, like I said I want to make a scenario people will play, not just one tailored to what I think is cool.
