[WIP] Meganations

[Lunawolf242]

Hello, this is my first mod and I am not used to modding but I hope you will like my Idea. This mod is in early alpha and a preview will be up shortly once I learn how to fix some stupid bug.

What Nations are featured?
This mod takes place in the late 20th century (1999) and will stretch into 2054. The mod features 8 distinct nations.

The United Continental States (UCS) comprised of all of North and South America, Philipines, the Pacific Islands, Japan, Korea, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Greenland, Iceland, and the UK.

The EU made up of the rest of continental Europe barring Russia.

The Russian Empire made up of mostly 1936 SOV borders and including parts of Finland.

The Socialist African Union (SAU), made up the rest of Africa except Egypt.

The Islamic Federation made up of Egypt, the rest of the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

The Peoples Republic of China made up Mainland China, Mongolia, and Taiwan.

The Republic of India made up with India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan.

The Association of South East Nations (ASEAN) made up of Indochina, Indonesia, Burma, Thailand, and Malaysia.

What is the plot?
No plot yet (I am a designer not a story teller), I am very open to suggestions about the story so feel free to make them if I like them enough I will add them.

The UCS seem too OP!
I am quite of aware of this fact, and I will either add events that weaken the UCS or add events that lead to member nations to leave the UCS. Suggestions are welcomed


How Can I Help?
I need a person to script events, balance out the nations, need a gfx person, a need a person help me edit the tech tree.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Right now what is preventing me from making a preview is this error I don't know how to fix
(Globals:Unexpected Field) 'include = scenarios\1999\ASEAN.inc' line=167 file=mods\darkest hour full\scenarios\meganations.eug
Edit: NVM fixed the problem

 

[Lunawolf242]

Managed to get some proof in concept pictures but modding the inc files are a bitch to modify. Obviously the ministers are going be changed.

 

[Fenrir 1576]

This does look pretty cool, and if you wouldn't mind I'd like to add some possible ideas for a bit of redistribution of provinces:
The Philippines and the rest of New Guinea could be given to the Indo-Sino-Malaysian country, as it seems to be rather underpowered in its current state.
The Russian nation could be expanded to cover the boundaries of pre-WWI Russia, or post-WWII USSR, with the Baltic countries and eastern Poland being given to it.
Ireland should either totally belong to the Americans or to the Europeans, it would at least make more sense that way, imo.
Just some of my cents, again this looks like it'll be an awesome mod when it's completed.

 

[whatguts]

USA is wayyyyy to strong, there's no way for weaker countries like India, Islamic, ASEAN, and China to defend against that

 

[Lunawolf242]

I like your suggestion, the Philippines, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago will be added to ASEAN. Also the Baltic States would be added to the Russian Empire. On the idea of Ireland, does anyone think that Northern Ireland would realistically be a flashpoint between the EU and the UCS? Would a India controlled Pakistan be better than a Islamic controlled one? The UCS could face rebellion in South America and eventually split to help balance. Finally I am wondering should the UCS be politically be dominated by the UK, US, AUS, and NZL or would a multicultural one be better?

 

[Lunawolf242]

Finished making the flags, just have to make new ministers, change some diplomatic relationships, and have some units be moved before it will be in early alpha release. I will change the names of the nation but my world text and text file is being weird. Also some balancing have been done. Take a look.

Burma could be tied with the republic of India as it was governed by the British up until it's independence. Also Algeria, Libya, Tunisia And Morocco could be entered into Arab Fed. as they have more Arab style governments. On the Ireland issue, the Americans never understood why the island was partitioned when they landed for training during WW2. Ireland had refused to join a military alliance with the UK, so it's unlikely they'd join in a superstate with them. The mod looks great btw.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Glad to see everyone liking this mod. Ministers are almost done and mod should be up for release in the next two days. Don't expect anything fancy as it is still in alpha. So at best expect like four events. I have some ideas on how to model each nation, so as always criticism is always welcomed.

The UCS is the world's largest and most financially stable nation in the world. Led by HRH Queen Elizabeth and soon to be in his fourth term Alan Greenspan, the UCS has saw economic booms in the last decade. However the same cannot be said for those living in South America, economically underdeveloped and poorer than those living in the north. Guerrilla cells have sprung up in the Gran Columbia region requiring deployments of armed troops to stabilize the region. These guerrillas mostly want better living conditions although if they do not get what they want, word has been spreading that independence from the UCS is the other best alternative method.
The UCS will have the largest economy in the game and have the most powerful army in the game, but will suffer from civil wars in the south, political debates in the north, lack of available manpower, land units take longer to build, and may face wars with three different countries at a single given time.

The EU is the second largest economy in the world, and unlike the UCS have generally the same standard of living in each region. The EU formed in the wake of the Second Great War and politically unified by the by a military invasion from the old Soviet Union in 1956. The EU has enjoyed close ties with the UCS however the Irish Question is still a sore point between the nations (well mostly in the Irish Republic). The EU unlike the UCS is not a self sustaining nation, and the oil fields in Romania and Scandinavia is not enough to fuel the EU in case of an oil crisis. Combined with the resurrection of the Russian Empire, the EU has to look in the oil rich region of Libya to help sustain itself in case of new tensions with Russia. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the Arab Federation, has given the EU a good excuse to intervene in the region.
The EU will have the second largest IC, and will have better force concentration than the UCS but will be under the threat of the Russian empire and a possible oil crisis in 2001.

The Russian Empire formed from the ruins of the USSR, as determined to make a new stand in the 21st century. Vladimir Putin having seized power from the Kremlin and declared himself Tsar. The Russian Empire is still its infancy but is still recovering from an economic depression, civil wars, and political strife. The growing fundamentalist Arab Federation is not helping matters either due to its policy of funding Mujahedin in Central Asia and Chechnya. However this makes it a good excuse to conquer the region and restore the glory of the Russian Empire.
The Russian Empire will have the fourth largest economy and is self sufficient nation, but is still recovering from recession and civil wars.

The Arab Federation is less than 10 years old and it already has been experiencing political strife and conflict since the day it was formed. Formed in 1990 between nations made up Arabic heritage and Muslim leanings, the Arab Federation holds almost 50% of all oil in the world. However ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the introduction of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Islamic fundamentalist ideas have been introduce this way displeasing the more secular Arabic member states. Combined with the more fundamentalist states funding terrorism abroad and tensions with India may lead to Western Powers intervening. Besides terrorism the harsh treatment of Jews in Palestine has brought world condemnation against the Arab Federation, and rumors of the UCS funding the Israeli Liberation Front with advance military equipment may see the return of Israel in the region.
The Arab Federation holds the largest oil reserves in the whole world and profits greatly from it but suffers from internal and external strife from all nations. Has a nuclear weapons program but due to political interference by the UCS and EU before the formation has yet to see the day of light.

The Republic of India unlike its neighbors in the region is a wealthy and prosperous state. With a steady GDP growth and political stability may see a rise of a new super powers. The only problem India sees is the Kashmir conflict and the status of Pakistan. However early reports of Pakistani troops moving into the Kashmir borders have riled up the Indian military and a possible war may be looming in South Asia. India sees the political problems in the Arab Federation and may seek to exploit should it happen while it is at war with the member state of Pakistan, should the war be better than expected may see Pakistan as a new province of India.
The Republic of India is the fifth largest economy and has ready access to nuclear weapons should the Arab Federation brings all out war in the region.

The Peoples Republic of China is a military powerhouse in Asia. With the reunification of Taiwan, and Mongolia the PRC has seen good progress in the region. Combined with massive growth in the 80's and early 90's the PRC is the third largest economy in the region. The PRC enjoys close ties with the EU, UCS, ASEAN, India, and Russia and may seek to join an alliance with either of those. The PRC has very little territorial ambition and is unlikely to intervene in other regions.
PRC has third largest economy, largest military in the region, but generally is isolationist.

ASEAN formed in 1980's, ASEAN is one of the poorer powers and lacks very powerful influence in politics. ASEAN is not interested in power struggles that goes beyond its borders and mostly is involved in building its industry. It is however looking for the PRC to join as a member state and seeks for acquisition of Nuclear Weapons to defend itself against other powers should they be looking for trouble.
ASEAN has the seventh largest economy and is highly isolated.

The Socialist African Union although large, is extremely weak and lacks a voice between the other superstates. The Socialist African Union despite what it name says is made up of five smaller unions. The Union of South Africa and Rhodesia (USAR), the East African Union (EAU), the Union of the Congo (UC), the Central African Union (CAU), and the West African Union (WAU). The SAU suffers from corruption, epidemics, famine, civil wars, and economic underdevelopment except in USAR which has the reverse conditions. The SAU however has nuclear weapons technology and is looking for buyers of this sort of weapon.
The SAU is the economically weakest nation but has nuclear weapons and maybe able to sell them to the weaker states or fund them to terrorist groups.

 

[Limith]

So an ArmA like scenario. Nice. Countries are similar to my CG mod funnily enough.

If you work on ministers for some countries, may I have permission to use them for my CG Mod?

You will want to rebalance the IC spread on the map.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Sure feel free to take whatever you like. Although I don't know whether Saddam Hussein vs. Lelouche will be entirely appropriate... or too one sided . Truth be told I was looking to make this an Gundam Mod but then I realized I haven't watched Gundam since 1986.

 

[unmerged(320880)]

This looks Cool but i would rename the UCS to Great Anglo-Empire or something like that.

 

[Lyrecryer]

The UK with UCS seems a bit strange. But that just nationalism on my part.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Managed to create ministers for UCS, SAU, Russia, India, and Arab Federation.
This is the default minister for the UCS and may change depending your feedback on whether the UK should join the UCS

This is the alternative for a non monarchist UCS.

This is an a non UK UCS.

The Arab Federation which may turn into the Islamic Federation depending on events.

The Russian Empire.

The PRC.

And Finally India

Early alpha will be released tomorrow or the day after. Things I have finished is
Ministers: partly finished (right now only the UCS has the most ministers the others only have enough to fill all the slots)
Leaders:WIP
Tech Tree:WIP
Country Borders:May change depending on feedback.
Events:WIP
GFX: All big flags done but mini flags are WIP.

I also need help on how to release this mod in a separate folder, using the Darkest Hour map (the ones I tested were on the old HOI2 map and crashed), and help on editing flags. Currently having problem making new minister traits can get the trait overhead like barking buffon but description says DPersonblahblahblah. Early release will contain ministers, flags, and scenario files but currently have no ai, and events. Also is there any modern day mod that have leaders so I can use them in my mod would make my job easier. Please give feedback .

I can do flags. There are modern day mods, many of them. I can do minister traits as well. You can use default ai for now, it's sufficient.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Great! The flags I have done are already ready but just need to be edited and tweaked to look like the default ones in Darkest Hour. The only real problem is making the moving flags I see if I can pm you the files.

 

[Lyrecryer]

You seem to have sent it to the wrong person.

I going to do it anyway.

 

[Lunawolf242]

Woops my mistake, I am so sorry. Guess staring at the screen to longs makes your vision goes worse.

 

[unmerged(320880)]

I think Arabic Federation is wrong when they got Iran, Tuerky and Afghanistan. When you name it from beginning Islamic Union or somethink like that it would be moore correct.
And maybe Jerusalem the "holy City" as Capital?

 

[123xyz8]

I think the USC would have some rebel problems? Especially in South and maybe Central America. Or if it hits a certain dissent, countries start declaring Independence. The first countries that declare independence would be in South America and if the dissent continues, the countries declaring independence start creeping north until Latin America states start declaring independence.
