I have to reorganize some stuff and will then come back to you, ok?
@Andri
Next version will be compatible with Armageddon.
This latest one is for Doomsday.

You got an error message?
I'm sorry to tell that te alternative sceanrio is not for playing right now. Only for showing what it should look like.
Also the other alpha versions of AHOI seems to have some (at least logical) errors.
Most errors come from a "bad installation". But of course not all.
So the best solution to test a mod is to test it on a new installed version of HOI.
Sadly, I've no time to check for errors at the moment.
I spend all the time to get a new version of AHOI running wit a new Division System and many new techs. (And I'm very short on time..
)If THAT is done, I will have again more time to look after errors.
(At least, all versions of AHOI undergo plenty of handsoff games over the whole timescale and where released only if there where no bugs showing up. But I know there're everytime new errors on someone else machine..)
I hope that I can release a new version soon and intodruce a new feeling of playing HOI..
Kind regards,
Chromos
Hi,
Could you point out a link to the latest version of this mod ?
The teasing looks good

the download can be found in the first post.
There're 2 versions.
One is made compatible with DAIM and SEMP.
And the other is just AHOI.
Also in the first link you can have a look(not more, it is not playable yet) on a alternate scenario.
Kind regards,
Chromos
yep, thank Chromos. I've finally found it.
Why did you divide by 4 the buildtime of IC ? I'm sure there is a reason behind this. I've thought of doing this, but finally never implemented because it will need, imo, to seriously reduce ic capacity of each major in the beginning of the game. I'm curious to have your view on this ?

Hi Enzo!Enzo said:
It's just because you get more out of your IC-investment or better, you get earlier something out of your IC investment.
If you build 8 IC's in vanilla, you get the benefit after these 8 are build. Afer one year.
In AHOI you build 8 IC's and get in the quarter of the time 2 IC's you can use.
To get the full 8 IC's, you have to build a row of 4x8 IC's or 8x4 IC's etc..
(Because you also get only a quarter of one IC per build!)
So you have the first benefit of building IC's after 4 month and not after 12 month.
Thats all.
Assumption of that mod is, that building a productive Fabrik doesn't need 1 year all the time.
Get's modified in further versions if it had to.

OK, but don't you think there is a risk to unbalance the game ? I mean it should be easy now for Germany to build a lot of IC and equal the USA in term of production, for instance.
Hi Enzo,Enzo said:
maybe my explanation was not clear.
Here's what is written in the buildtime.txt now in AHOI:
ic = {
cost = 5
manpower = 0.25
buildtime = 90
size = 0.25
}
So you can see that it takes you only a quarter of the time to build 1 IC (In game terms) but you also only get a quarter of a "real" IC out!
F.e., if you usually build 30 IC's with Germany from the game start in a build series of 10x3 IC, you get the first IC's done in early December of 1936. A total of 10 usable IC's.
If you want to build 30 usable IC's in AHOI in the same time you have to set up a series of 10x12 IC.
And now you get the first USABLE IC's after 3 month, the next after 6 and so on.
If you just build one IC in AHOI you won't have a usabel IC after 3 month because you just have build a quarter of one IC.
But If you build 4 (AHOI-)IC's you have at least 1 usabel IC after 3 month.
So after all, the only benefit is, that you can use some(!) of your newly build IC's earlier.
And this "bonus" works for all nations.
If you want to "exploit" this:
F.e. Germany uses all free IC to build IC("AHOI-IC")
Lets say they use 100 ICfrom the very beginning in 1936.
So the can produce 20 new IC's at a time (100/5=20).
After 3 month the first 20 AHOI-IC's are ready and therfore 5 new real usable IC's (20/4=5) can be used to produce another IC.
And after 6 month they have build 41 AHOI-IC's and that makes for 10,25 real usable IC's that we use for building more IC's.
After 9 month they have 62 AHOI-IC's build that makes up for 15,5 real IC.
And after 12 month it sums up to 83 AHOI-IC's and 20,75 real new usable IC's build.
And so on.
The "gain" is not so big, isn't it?
BUT you are more felxible in your building. So you don't have to wait a whole year for a IC to be build if you want to produce something other. You can "quit" after 3 month and build again later on.
I hope the system behind is now clear to understand.
Kind regards,
Chromos
little update
Hello,
I just want to tell, that that I'm (slowly for now) working on this Mod.
Hopefully I can show first screenies next month.
It's stil lmuch work to place and name all this techs. Up to ~2000 are possible now. And because of that, I totaly redesigned the whole thing again.
Also, this will probably have an impact on many other Mods around. Well we'll see.
Have a nice weekend and kind regards,
Chromos

I was looking over this mod and its perfect update for Doomsday.It was needed as this version of HOI extends into the 50,s.
The only mod I used so far has been DAIM and have found that the AI can give a good fight if you dont watch you back.More of a chess match than risk.Its too bad that they could not be blended together.
Anyhow I will download the file to see how it works.Another level of strategy is a worth while feature.

The alternate scenario will be an addition to the AHOI-Mod.
Basic Story Background will be a stalemate in 1918 with a following ceasefie and a peace treaty with Wilsons "14 Points" in mind..
Therfore the alternate stuff will have everything the normal AHOI will have, at least tech wise.
The alternate scenario needs more new events and stuff..
(German Empire, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Ottoman Empire, Arabic Federation etc..)
The normal AHOI will bring a total new techtree (all branches) and a new innovative(hopefully) Division/Brigade system.
I hope that answers your question.
Groeten!
Chromos
No, not yet. The download give you just a first impression.Dutch Rommel said:
To get it working we need much more events and a new AI for the new countrys etc.
For now, I spend my time first to finish the new tech tree and after that is done, the alternate scenario will be done.
