Mods for Pre-1914?

[VonMudra]

Just curious- are there any mods to move the start date back from 1914 to 1913, or 1910, or such? I like playing WW1, but I like having the time to reorganize my armies to what will actually be useful, and I don't feel like I have the time to do so if we start in 1914.

Unfortunately, I can't even recommend you my own World in Flames III, as starting OOBs are locked in place and you wouldn't be able to reorganize anything.

Unfortunate. I just kinda want the ability to have that chance to fix the army/fleet make up to my liking, make some minor decisions (like building more aircraft, or support brigades, or whatnot), and maybe be able to affect how 1914 plays out. The normal 1914 start is fun sure, but it kinda throws you into it right away with not a lot of time to redeploy forces around and such, much less get support brigades up and running.

Rise and Fall mod, although I think it is incomplete and is an alternative history mod, starts in 1900. I don't think it is what you are looking for and to my knowledge, nothing has been released yet, however it is still pre-1914.

will take this into consideration when doing my mod that I am working on, as stated in another thread here that its in secret that I am working on it, for a start date of late 1800s or early 1900s(1900/1902 but looking more like 1900 would be more a date that satifies that itch of what ifs maybe even sooner in the 19th century for colonial fighting and also colonization of areas to happen, along with if the player wants to be the USA(dealing with native americans{battles or treaties/compromieses/etc}, dealings with other great powers, maybe start earlier being a superpower, many many ideas come to mind) or other great powers other dates sooner or in same time frame... alot of research though has to be done right to make things right and waiting also on the e3 map to be converted by @novapaddy (if remembered nick right). Then I can really start work on the mod/s depending on how things go

I wouldn't do anything pre 1896. Information gets harder and harder to find the further you get back.

I was just talking to Conqueror the other day about that. The mod is not dead and is still being developed but things have apparently gotten hard on him and production slowed down. Much of the db is being made from scratch so it takes a long time.

There was the 1914 mod for HOI2 with, If i remember correctly,a 189x scenario.
You can find a link of that mod in the @Nesic8693 "Hoi2 mods new download links" thread here : https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hoi2-mods-new-download-links.948803/

That is why I wouldnt go beyond 1860s or say 1812... as the resources are too lacking... least for an initial mod, otherwise for a mod for testing ideas for something else, then I would push back the date farther and see where that takes me . Just not saying how far back lol

Although it is only for 1.03, I had alot of fun with it a few years ago albeit very unbalanced by the time you get to 1914 )
