The World is Divided​

-- The World Divided AAR

-- British AAR by Ovg

The world is divided.

Russia fell apart in an civil war there the monarchist Russia have claimed their superiority against the Soviet rebells. The areas known as Finland, Ukraine, Siberia and Turkmenistan slowly became independent when the central government collapsed as well as when foreign nations started to grab what they could from the dying country.

By skyrocketting inflation, civil war and invasions has the realm of Great Britain collapsed into chaos.

Spain is strong, Napoleonian Great Netherlands still hanging on, the Habsburg empire is still stretching it's legs, the Ottoman empire is far from the sick man of Europe and France is the greatest empire that's seen to date.

The world is divided and it's not the way it's supposed to be. While the world has turned authocratic since the last economic collapse the only true power that's keeping it's democratic ideals is Mexico. The only place there the communist ideals remain unthreathened is in communist China and in Europe Germany has become the strongest nation in Europe.

Though even after all this the nations in Africa and South America has been spared from the last economic collapse and are mightier than ever, prepared to be able to spread their claws over the world when it's at it's weakest point.

The World is Divided and only You can Unite it.​

Fight the expansionist French empire,


Unite the nations of the world,


See the Africans have their revenge,


Old pictures of the world:








And much, much more.

Thanks!

Hoped for more comments though, as I lately more and more trying to guess how to progress instead of having any suggestions of what to do. Which is surprising considering the hundreds of downloads the mod actually has...

Thanks, quite challenging. Propably first mod for aod ;p

What country are you playing and do you got any comments on the game in general?

There are too many nations with superpower level industry for me... Any easy way for me to alter the IC values?

Go into the scenarios/Globalwtf, select country you want to edit and open it with notepad.

If you for example open ANG (Angola) you'll see at the top a list of provinces with manual fixed resources.

So to remove IC from Cabinda you just make "ic = 14" into "ic = 0" and then save.

Do it until you're happy.

Which countries IC are you unhappy with? What do you like/dislike in the mod?

Well, firstly I apologyse for my early post, that didn't come out very well. I appreciate your work in making this mod, it has been quite enjoyable.
As to my question, I haven't played untill a very high date yet, I think the "superpowers" are very well thought out. Strong France, Spain, etc.
What I'd change a bit is more depending on personal taste than anything else, there are some nations with IC over 40-50 that I find a little bit too numerous - Siam, Australia, Angola, Ethiopia, Colombia, Bolivia. Since this is merely personal taste, I don't think it justifies changing the mod itself, but if there was a easy way for me to change the IC values I could "tailor" more to my likeness, such as weakening the industry of Colombia, Bolivia, Siam, Angola, Ethiopia, Australia, and maybe send some of it to Argentina, the Ottomans and Sweden instead.

Edit: And of course thanks for the quick answer, works great!

 

[Skarion]

Colombia and Ethiopia will be weakened in next version, with a few new countries been popped in.

Bolivia, Siam, Angola and Australia need to be strong as to fit the ingame timeline.

Thanks for enjoying the mod!

Just played a couple of hours and darn, didn't think it would be so funny. With some in-depth country descpritions (I like alt-hist), some more flavor events (like in KR) and it's almost perfect.

Very, very much surprised that this one haven't got more comments / AAR / attention, because this is not far from Kaiserreich; an extremly good and complete alt hist mod!

Kudos!

Will need to buy AoD as quick as I can so I can test all the new goodies in the mod.

Wow, thanks for the appreciation!!

I know about the country descriptions, just haven't bothered as of yet as I wanted to focus on events (anyone that wish to help would be appreciated!).

Direct people that want background story to the AAR in the top of the thread for an walkthrough of this world's history.

Currently working on more flavour events, but it's slow doing this by myself while I got a 101 different things on the side as well. Especially now as I've started to work on remaking the whole Russian and Asian eventtrees. o

Once again, thanks! I really appreciate it and make me more determined to continue my work!

Is there any specific event you think should be included, excluded or changed?

Since this is a Beta I'll give you my feedback, June 1940 playing as Germany.

Main wars so far:

Germany, Ukraine & Netherlands + Angola vs Sweden, France, Quebec & Republican Spain. Ukraine joined an alliance with me by event after the Soviets defeated Russia. In another event, I demanded the Swedish disputed territories, they refused, in the subsequent event I chose to go to war. France & Quebec joined the war against me, and in response, Netherlands joined on my side. Later on, when I had encircled the enemy armies in northern France, Spain joined on their side and gave me some serious trouble. At some point later Angola declared on one of them and managed to take the French african territories. Eventually, I won in Europe, but the Dutch were taken by France in the process. Sweden was annexed, and after I sailed around taking the remote places with victory points, annexed France and Spain aswell.
At this point I had the entire French Canada and Spanish Florida under my hand. However, I had no intention of messing around with the Americas, and Quebec was surely not going to be able to breach my defenses either. So I used acceptall to make them accept a peace very much advantageous to them, I gave them everything I had in continental North America. I had to use the code but I'm fairly certain this is a very reasonable deal.

Japan vs Soviet Union - ongoing war. Japanese looking good in mainland Asia.

United Kingdom vs Scotland, Ireland, United States, Confederate States + Angola.
The British lost by event. Ireland took the Atlantic islands, the US took the american colonies. Angola declared war aswell and took the african colonies. This war, if I'm not mistaken, ended by some event. However sometime later the UK declared war on Angola even though they already had nothing in the continent, and this is ongoing but likely without any actual combat.

-----

Quebec is the Axis, Mexico & Australia are the Allies, Commie China is the Comintern.

Noted things: When by event the CSA merge the USA, they keep richmond as a US puppet state and give the US everything else. Wouldn't it be better to assimilate the CSA entirely, or just make it a puppet with all its territories?
Also, I'm not playing it in AoD, but Armaggedon... I post here because this is where I found this mod.
No serious bugs found thus far, but I haven't studied the timeline well enough to know if things are going as planned alliance-wise. No hostility between the three alliances yet.

Ah, bug.

One of the options there exist is that USA make CSA a puppet if certain things are right, though as USA got cores on all the CSA provinces it will automaticly eat all of it's provinces.

Will see if I can do something about it!

Also, I'm not playing it in AoD, but Armaggedon... I post here because this is where I found this mod.

There exist a similar thread to this in the ARM forum.

Cheers!

You have had an bit different history than in real life - by claiming provinces from Sweden you succeeded to avoid war with the Habsburgs for example.

You also seem to have avoided the American civil war, which has an high chance of creating an Axis-Allies war (especially in the next version).

Commintern-Axis-Allies war is likely to happen sooner or later, though may take a few years depending on different events happen the right way.

Good luck and thanks so very much for the support and summary!

Edit:

Ireland took the Atlantic islands,

In the peace?

AFAIK it should go to the CSA, are you sure that Ireland got them?

Best mod in a long time, and especially since it's for AoD. There's something that baffles me though, and that's how Angola has such a high IC and org as early as 1942. Their org is almost comparable to mine (germany) and their IC is over 200. Every war they declare they will win, with the possible exception of me if i move more troops into africa.

They have the same doctrine tree as the Germans and by ingame history the communist bastion of Angola went through industrialization quickly under British rule and then when Britain fell apart Angola gained independence.

As of it's already foundation of an African USA it quickly modernized itself and went for exportation. Compared to Europe it survived the recession quite well and was thereby able to keep their industry in a better shape then most other countries.

What Angola lack is manpower, leaders and oil, so it need to expand as to get manpower.

Though it can loose, I have played plenty of games there France or Ethiopia has beaten Angola.

The purpose of this is to have some African powers that are able to maybe one day go for global conquest as well and not only the European or American powers.

Just tried the mod and I must say that the start is one fine peace of art. Thou some flavor event a la Kaiserreich would be great

I am working on it, sorry that it's fully filled with flavor events as of yet. Problem is mainly lack of time from my part, it's a work I have been doing alone on my free time so everything take a while.

Though you can probably expect that the mod will be pure awesome in the end! You can probably ask Flooper X how the mod started out as he was the first alpha tester a few years back in time.
