Hi guys,
when we're closing down to the release of the 1.03 patch, hopefully I can enjoy a full game with AOD to really check out the new game. All time so far, have just been loading it up, checking the changes and then exit and back to Notepad++/PS. :rofl:
Anyways, got a bit inspired by the Draka mod and now the murder of that South African guy (TerreBlanche), I've read upon a bit about South African history and thought it would be a nice country to tweak/adapt in many ways:
Firstly, it isn't in Europe nor Asia, so it don't upset the balance.
Secondly, neither part (not axis nor allies) suffer from losing / gaining South Africa so much as allied.
Thirdly, it adds almost a whole continent to a (possible) war instead of just northern Africa.
Anyways, just started modding and back storys and such isn't my cup of tea, I'd hope you could help me out a bit, this is what I thought off for now:
UK won second Boer-War. Civil unrest. National party gains massive support. The rebellion (1915) gained much more success than it did in OTL. South Africa got more and more self-regancy. When the world economy went to hell, national party sought and took the chance to gain independce. UK didn't/couldn't intervene. In the mean time, South Africa and the national party who earlier had good relations with Kaiserreich Germany, took up the connections with Germany and Hitler liked the national party;
so, in 1936, South Africa isn't in any alliance but have very good relationship with Germany, quite good relationship with Italy, decent relationship with UK, France and other allied nations.
Germany support the young, aspiring nation with modern tech, good rates at trades which allows SA to develop infrastructure etc as well as being taught by proffesional german officiers.
Anyways, I'm all ears for any suggestion regarding how the cabinet should look like (now, I've placed D.F. Malan as both HoS and Hog.
Tech teams (will be needed if you go for expansion
)
Politcal setup as well as world views (I'm a modder not a good sci-fi writer)
As the title said, this is just a mini mod, so no need to feel that any long commitment to this little mod is required, just drop by with some comments how it should look like and I'm happy, you'll be credited as someone will hopefolly enjoy running a game with it.
