I don't know if you remember me from a few pages back, but I can help with leaders and events in South America, the problem is I'm really short on time so can I just give sugestions instead.
 
Anyone willing to create some flavour events? Like MDS hydroplants, but nuclear reactors instead, and some other random events.
The mod will also have a chance of signing an agreement to abandon nuclear weapons. And some ahistorical stuff, where the AI keeps historical, though. Just for fun.
 
Glad to announce the first beta. It has the new nations and changed province owners. The main thing that needs to be done is techs and events.

To install, make a copy of the Arsenal of Democracy folder and extract the files in the copied folder. Then select the Broken Star scenario. There's also a World in Conflict scenario, but it's not really done.

Also some other good news. I finally got the new sprites working, but they are not yet in this version.

Let's make a discussion. Should we use the techtree featured in the current version (containing a lot of stages, but a lot of work is needed to turn it into 1990) or use the MDS-tech tree, with less techs, eastern/western armours, less work to adapt into 1990. Which one?

Also, has anyone got an idea how did the Gulf War situation look in October 1990?

My $0.02, but I really enjoyed the MDS tech tree. If we can get it in and it's less work, why not? We'll need to make some modifications, and I did notice some typos (don't know if they've been fixed or not), but in the end it will probably be the best path. Now I'm not exactly an experienced modder, so the real value of my $0.02 is probably more like T $0.000002...

That being said, I'm not experienced but I can do basic things and want to learn how to do more. I may be able to do a few flavour events (say, random discovery of new mineral or oil deposits) and some work on Canada if nobody has done that yet (ministers, election events, some historical events for flavour).

As for the Gulf War in Oct 1990, Iraq had invaded Kuwait but at the time I think the UN had just imposed sanctions. Desert Shield had begun, with the US deploying forces to protect Saudi Arabia. On November 29th, the UN imposed a withdrawal ultimatum to Iraq until January 15th, 1991. Desert Storm began on January 17th.

In AoD, just about everything is possible. Almost all of the limits of the older versions are removed.
It's good if you could do some flavour events, I can do the major event-chains myself.
Okay, so you support the MDS tech tree. I like it too, it's simple and has most of the localisation fitting for 1990.

For the Gulf War, I wonder if we can get the AI to land forces in Kuwait.

E: Now I remember what I had to say earlier. Indonesia isn't done yet, since I had a problem with it.

About the MDS tech tree. If we use the 1.6 beta's tech tree files, the techs don't fit in the window. Should we use either 1.5 or the Cold War Extension which is currently in use?

Well if the Developers for AoD can get Italy to invade the middle east we shuold be able to get the coalition to invade Kuwait from the sea.
 
We must see :p.

Anyway, when guy_montag posted me the Italian cabinet, I noticed that Adolfo Battaglia had black and white picture. I fixed it with a certain tool, what do you think?

Here are some things I found wrong so far

1. Israel cannot be selected to play.

2. Number of Selectable nations do no exist any more included are

Guangi clique, Republican Spain, Tibet, Shanxi, Singkang, and Xibei San Ma.

Also on the Map Island of Taiwan should belong to Republic of China and not Japan.
 
Another Map problem all of Sahkalin Island and Kuril Islands have been occupied by Soviet Union since end of ww2.
 
Hands off of Germany to see if 91 Coup fired in soviet union. Pardon me if my thought and oberservation are
a little jumbled around.

Gorbeacheav getting Peace aprize fired.

Should probably be an Event that fires on first day celebrating or damning the Reunification of Germany
in all Nations that would be interested basically US Canada Europe and the Soviet Union.

Decent Sound Track

Uninteded side effect of starting game the day Germany Reunified is you miss a lot of the
Events in mar 1990 in Soviet Union so there seems to be lack of seeing and feeling of the upheaval in the Soviet
Union leading up to the dissolve of the Warsaw Pact and the Coup.

Germany shopuld start with claims on Stetin, Kurstrin, Elbing, Breslau, Oppeln, and Danzig.

Then on 14 Nov 1990 a German-Polish Event Should fire The German-Polish Border Treaty of 1990.
In which Germany may or may not cede thoose areas to Poland.

For this event if Germany fails to cede these claims there should be a Huge hit to relation with western Europen
Countries. For it will be seen as a betrayal of the September 1990 Treaty on the Final Settlement With Respect to Germany

A further event tied to if German cedes claim to poland there should be even t between them that fires on 17 june 1991.
Its a Treaty of Friendship between the Germany and Poland i see it as +25 to +50 Relations.

Also we know now that Western Europe and the British and French in particular didnt want a reunified German
in fact Margret Thatcher wanted Miklhail Gorbeacheauv to prevent it from happening imo German Relation at start of game at either 0 with western Europe or in the minor negatives.

These Two event should determine weather Germany Joins the EU or not.

Uk ending Mastery over Yemen Fired on feb 11 1990.

Looked at Map saw Kuwait was Part of British Empire its been independent since 1961.

Warsaw Pact Dissolving Fires on July 2 1991

Well the Coup was defeated but I was looking over the History and your event you might want to include in there the Soviet
Union dosen't fold and tel;ls the west to get stuffed there should be an event in there somewhere the Baltic state try to
Cede anyway because they proclaimed independence in Mar 1990.


Final Observation: I know this is a Beta and more events will be forthcoming but there needs to be more of a sense of doom and gloom in the soviet union maybe a series of events raising the dissent in the country culminating in the Coup.
 
So just a quick question about the scenario, is there just going to be one set in 1990, or will you have one set before and afterward, like in 1989 and 1993?

There is a scenario World in Conflict for 1989 but according to tuore its not finished
