We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Cool!
Make sure people review the rules and the changes. There text file called, "scenarionotes" and one called "rules." If you need anything let me know, and if there are any problems or confusions, I will be more than happy to edit for any mistakes. 1.06 has been running on a few games for while and seems relatively trouble free.
A few things to expect:
First thing people will notice is that trade is much harder, so it is much harder to exploit the AI.
Another thing, is that the game is intended to be played with the possibility of war between Soviet Union and Japan prior to Danzig. This can come about in a number of ways, but the main thing that should be known is that these wars will be ended by event, sooner or later, Molotov/Ribbentrop also negotiates the war. There is not much to be won or lost in this war, and it is not intended to be the big show.
There is an more detailed explanation of the "Border War" in the scenario notes.
Soviet player will notice that he has a huge peacetime_ic_modifier like the USA, at start. This is lifted overtime, and the way it works out for those who build IC, is that SU ends up with slighly less IC than vanilla by Danzig. Its to complicated to explain how that works.
Each player should read the scenarionotes about his country that is the best thing.
Have fun!
Again, if there are problems let me know.

OK Cueball, I think best could be to paste scenario-notes and rules there in the thread it will be more easier for lazy people to check them.
I think I'm going to test your mod in sp this week I want to see how goes all your events

Cool. It plays fairly well through in SP, though it was all designed for MP, so there may be so me odd things that happen... I have never played a game all the way through in SP.
