PaxAmericana
A collection of flavor events for the whole depraved global family!
A collection of flavor events for the whole depraved global family!
Have you ever found yourself desiring more zing in your life? Does spending months at a time without seeing events bore you to tears? Do you wonder endlessly how best to connect to the culture of the times Darkest Hour portrays? If you answered no to all of these questions without hesitation, congratulations: you don't need this mod. If, however, you even considered answering yes to any or all of them, then PaxAmericana is the mod for you.
What is PaxAmericana, I imagine you ask? Simply put, it aims to create a proper atmosphere for games of Darkest Hour through the gratuitous use of flavor events. As the name of the mod suggests, I will at least initially focus on the United States, though not to the complete exclusion of other countries. I have assembled a list of 265 projected events from 1933 through 1991, and I have plans to expand it as time goes on; these events include such things as a rewritten series of U.S. presidential election events, but the vast majority will have little to no non-flavor effect. In addition, each event will, if possible, have a unique event picture associated with it.
Included below is a list of the event ideas I have come up with on my own. As should be obvious, the events extend beyond the 1964 end date of the base game; this is because, I admit, I was really hoping for a Cold War game to be announced at PDXCON. PaxAmericana was originally intended for that. However, the next best thing is New World Order 2, which extends Darkest Hour's end date through the Cold War. Hence, though I am not affiliated with NWO2's development in any way, PaxAmericana will be ully compatible with that mod, even if I have to maintain two separate versions of the mod.
Anyway, enough rambling from me. Cue the events list:

Now, with that out of the way, I want to open this up to input from the rest of y'all. Most, if not all, of my list will be included in the first few versions of PaxAmericana, but I want to hear feedback from the community. Are there any of the events on my list that are confusing, or that should be let out? Are there any events that you would like to see included that aren't currently on the list? Do you think that this whole project is a waste of my time? Let me know, please. Don't be scared to put in a suggestion or two. I don't bite.
