The Olympics are complete!!!! just in time for the opening of the London 2012. Enjoy August 1936 a little bit more .

Unfortunately a Virus attack on my HDD wiped the files and Mediafire shut down the files because of a stupid Copyright problem

To Install:
Copy Darkest Hour Full and rename to "DHIM"
extract files into your mods directory and overwrite when prompted
launch the game the Olympics are at the beginning of August 1936


Credits : The Olympic event chain has been taken with permission from Kaiserreich. i edited it for DHFull


The event for building a Flakturme (German only) doesn't work
Further updates to this mod are dependable on the progress of NARE.

Copying a post of mine made in the AAR website:

I think that, there should be events to include the Basque nationalism rise and their demands that eventually ended with granting the Basquelands with a statute of autonomy in october 6th 1936 in order to make Basquelands aligned with the Spanish Republic despite the initial reluctance of the Sapnish republican government (the treasury minister Indalecio Prieto said in 1931: "i don't want to have a Vaticanist Gibraltar in the north" in reference to the anti clericarism ruling along spain during those days and the catholic character of the Basque Nationalist party (being a catholic democrat one) -although there was other party, Basque Nationalist Action, that was a secular party and was the second political force- which was, most probably, the one which would rule the Basquelands if that statute was approved.
Although the statute didn't plan the creation of a Basque army, it was created due to the need to defend those lands and this ad-hoc army (composed of battalions grouped together according to the ideology of their soldiers)managed to stop the fascist advance in a small town called Elgeta for seven months, until these fascist received aerial and bigger artillery support. One of the air units that fought the Basque Army was the Legion Condor, the ones that made the sadly famous bombing of Gernika.
There was also created some fortifications in Biscay, surrounding it's capital, Bilbao, called "cinturón de hierro" (Iron Belt) however the main engineer in charge of the construction of these forts, defected towards fascists giving the plans of these forts making the fascist advance easier.
That statute created some kind of a puppet state of the Republic with their own government, police (Ertzaintza),their own army (Euzko Gudarostea) and their own navy (Eusko Itsas Gudarostea -which had only two destroyers and 9 BOU, a fishing ship converted into a warship, that took part in the battle of cape Matxitxako).

Cool ! I like extra-flavour events !
One suggestion : "July 31, 1938 - Bulgaria signs a non-aggression pact with Greece and other states of Balkan Antanta (Turkey, Romania, Yugoslavia)" http://www.datesinhistory.com/jul31.php

Thanks. I'll probably put this in.

in regard to the basques, i was thinking of making the Spanish civil war slightly more historical, irl most major nations had volunteers battling in it, Irish and US volunteers included. I can't read in any language but English but i'll look into this next time i've got some time and i'll probably make it a small event chain for "euskadi" possibly the most pointless nation to liberate, i'll change their name if i have to because they're in the area your talking about

Guys i've completed the Events for the Olympics just in time for the London games! i worked tonight so i could release it before the games start, feel free to try it out! Could a dev change the name of the thread in the brackets to (Olympics released) please.

Well Yugoslavia was left "eventless" you could create events regarding negotiations of Count Ciano and Milan Stojadinovic. There were series of negotiations regarding Albania and Croatia. Also Small Entente creation...then the Balkan Alliance...also Milan Stojadinovic was forced out of Yugoslavian government in 1939, so it could be an event to choose to force him out or no. Also dissolution of Yugoslavia in peaceful ways....I can help with events regarding Balkans/
Anyway, I think it will be great mod

I actually feel like the Balkans is a bit thin so if you can offer links that would be great otherwise i'll just look it up from what you say. Being as these events are in 1939 i'll look at them later i have about 150 events planned for 1936 excluding the Olympics and the Spanish civil war events that i've begun planning.

that's cool just let me know there are a bunch of events that can be created for Yugoslavia cause it was very unstable period for us....from 1936-1941, there where many important events that were just neglected in DH and if events have taken different courses there could have been event more interesting developments in, not only southern, but whole Europe
just let me know if you need any assistance

this is a slow moving mod, if you want to offer me events i'll add them into the mod otherwise just hang around

 

[Hirz]

could you please include the nürnberger rallies making Germany´s society more closed?

 

[Hirz]

Btw could you help me to find the mistake I´ve made? Maybe you want to include it to your mod? This would help Germany to build up a solid defence against France while fighting against Poland.

## BUILD THE SIEGFRIED LINE

event = {
id = 999999
random = no
country = GER
trigger = {
control = { province = 132 data = GER }
control = { province = 130 data = GER }
control = { province = 128 data = GER }
}

name = "BUILD THE SIEGFRIED LINE"
desc = "The original Siegfried line (Siegfriedstellung) was a line of defensive forts and tank defences built by Germany as a section of the Hindenburg Line in northern France during World War I.\n\nWe have the opportunity to extend it from Switzerland to Kalkar in order to prevent a western assault"
style = 0
picture = ""

date = { day = 29 month = september year = 1938 }



action_a = {
name = "Build the Siegfried line"
ai_chance = 99
command = { type = construct which = land_fort where = 132 value = 5 }
command = { type = construct which = land_fort where = 130 value = 5 }
command = { type = construct which = land_fort where = 128 value = 5 }
command = { type = supplies value = -600 }
}

action_b = {
name = "No it´s not necessary"
ai_chance = 1
}
}

the only problem to me is the picture, it's not got a picture name written in. I think it has to have a picture. At the moment no work has been added since the olympics, I'm working on NARE as a first mod and on this as a secondary mod. If the Siegfried line really happened then i'll add it for sure!

 

[Hirz]

Of cours it really happened!

i read up on it. It's on the list of stuff now. I'll implement it over two or three events though because it was planned in 1936 but built in 1938-1940....

I guess, he tries to avoid complications with mediafire because of some copyright questions.

"Hey heres one for you..... What is the level of copyright protection provided by Paradox? I realise that there were 'issues' with AAR earlier in the year but i just got this email from mediafire about my Darkest hour improvement mod.....

I posted this on the sticky thread. I'll re upload it today for you. It was taken down because of some copyright infringement i presume is based on the film "darkest hour".
