Hi all !
I've made a new mod for DD and Arma several weeks ago and we are now at 0.4 version, 0.41 will be out soon. It changes AI, events, combats, graphics, musics and a lot of other things. The goal is to improve realism and challenge.
We are looking for guys who could help us : events ideas, beta test, graphist or whatever.
So if you are interested, just tell me.

Can you give some more information about this mod ?

Is it only post 45 ?
Changes to the techtree ?
Additional events ...

and so on

 

[Fernando Torres]

No, no, it is 36-53, with several scenarios. We've modded a lot the 36 scenario with AI improvements (sealion, barbarossa, fall gelb/weiss/blau, dday, husky, uranus/mars etc), thousands events (something like 2000) to give a more historical feeling, some ahistorical choices and to enhance the vanilla (for example, we have reworked all surrenders events), new units type etc etc. The tech tree is not (yet ?) changed. We began to mod the 45 scenario but it is not finished (we'll have 2 great campaign : 36-53 and 45-53).
If you want another information or screenshots just ask me .

 

[Fernando Torres]

Oh i forgot : we are also looking for someone who could help us to make a new intro video

 

[Chaos128]

what exactly is the Hearts of Uranium scenario?

 

[Fernando Torres]

what exactly is the Hearts of Uranium scenario?

This is a project scenario (the second scenario which i was talking about).
It will begin on 45 with the historical situation (no war). We've made several events as Fulton's speech, Marshall/Molotov plans, Berlin's crisis, Ost and Deutsch mark creations, independances for the two germany etc etc.

But it is not finished, we first want to finish the 36 campain before developing the 45's one.

Sounds promising and very interesting
I´m looking forward to do some gaming this weekend.

Did i see correctly you have a "special" 38´ multiplayer scenario ?!
What´s the difference compared to the normal 38´ scenario?

It is not mine. It is made by generalfeldmarschall or duke1987, i don't remember (credited) and it makes the game more balanced for mp games.

Oh and enjoy the mod if you play it

 

[Luxor]

[Fernando Torres]

Looks solid, how much is the AI improved? (I am learning to mod AI's so I wonder if this is a solid template to check out or not)

Look : there is only one guy who played it in vhard with germany and he told me that he "resisted till 1943" :rofl: . The USA tryed to land in Dunkirk, Le Havre, Murmansk, Salonik etc while the Soviets counter attacked and incircled several divisions.
Oh and for the guys who speak french, look at this, it's a feedback thread with screenies about the mod : http://forum.jeux-strategie.com/index.php?showtopic=52140

 

[unmerged(61606)]

I like the Hearts of Uranium one... :rofl:

but this looks cool

 

[Fernando Torres]

Well the next version (0.5) will be available soon with many changes.
I'm looking for beta testers. So, if someone is interested, just pm me.

edit i've added a changelog on the second post

 

[Andri]

ahh so you made it in France so 90% of the ppl that play Hoi2 cant play it like mod33

yes...
If someone is interested for making with me an international version, i'm okay.

 

[Andri]

if you want your mod to get played by more then only French ppl you should make it in English

 

[cegorach]

yes...
If someone is interested for making with me an international version, i'm okay.

Ehh you can start with changing something else like BORDERS OF POLAND - for some reason not a single mod has it done correctly - I mean soviet puppet Poland afer 1945 which should have this bloody Bielsk, Bialystok and Suwalki as opposed to no-Tehran/non-Soviet Poland without major changes compared to pre-war Poland ( Elbig, Oppeln would be added - maybe Breslau and Konigsberg too, but I doubt it). For such a large mod it might be a good thing to deal with such 'details' too...

 

[Fernando Torres]

Suwalki is part of post war Poland in the 0.5.
The screen you saw is from the 0.3
