Hi! Really cool mode, but for some reason when I get to mid 1981 the game shuts down. Hope you manage to fix it =)

Thanks, but it doesn't happen in my test games. I will investigate the issue. May I know which country you were playing as?

Hey, you seem like a great moder who pays attention to the details and researches the countries and is regularlyactive to respond to users of your mod. How about you add ww2 scenario to this mod so you have a before cold-war, cold war and after cold war. I could also help you with the research of events etc. especially for italy (a major power at the time), since i'm italian.

Thanks for your offer but I'm afraid that I will have to decline because as it stands, I don't intend to do a ww2 scenario due to it being a huge undertaking in addition to the massive effort of revising virtually every aspect of the mod to cater to the different outcomes of ww2. It's far too much risk and work involved. I'd rather heavily focus on one timeframe (Cold War) and do it well than to do many but do all of them terribly.

Perhaps you could offer some possible events for post ww2 Italy instead? I will be most interested.

These are the first that pop in my head

First of all I think you should add different small-medium armies in Italy, but all with different party names as to represent partisan groups and not he official army like:

Milan: 30000 Brigate Garibaldi Comuniste (make these troops irregulars, so the player will be forced to disband them)
Torino. 24000 Brigate Garibaldi Coumuniste (make these troops irregulars, so the player will be forced to disband them)Naples 54000 Royal Italian Army (make this the only proper Italian Army)
Rome 24000 C.V.L Partisans (make these troops irregulars, so the player will be forced to disband them)

You could like add an Event that states some trials of Italian generals like Badoglio and Graziani (on war crimes they committed in Abyssiania) and how they were never fully carried out. In Badoglio's case he was seen as a big anti-Communist factor and Graziani was originally condemned to serve 19 years but was saved by his lawyers so only served 4 months.
You could add anti-mafia martyrs like Pepino Impastato and how his death affected only Sicily (as he died the same day aldo moro, so his death was overshadowed) and Falcone and Borsellino and how their death affected italy as a whole

You could add World soccer events that italy won as a huge morale booster to the population. You could add cores to Nice, Corsica and the parts of Istria that Italy lost.
You could also add events focusing around Berlusconi as he was a very important political figure.
Maybe some of these event are already included I just got to 1965

Anyway I was also wondering if you could add generals to the starting date for the different ww2 and post ww2 key countries

That's some great suggestions, I shall add the armies, Italian army war trials and the anti mafia martyrs in 1.04. Then the world soccer will be part of the World Cup feature in 1.05 and possibly the generals in 1.06.

I have been playing your mod for a while and i can definitely state taht is has great potential in it.

However (since I am Hungarian and I play mainly Hungary) I would suggest some inprovements for Hungary:

- for the 1946 scenario Hungary should have an army of 7 infantry and 1 tank brigade named '1. hadsereg' which is historically correct (Hungary could only have the possibility to maintain 8 divisions after its surrender in 1945)
- The only small arms factory of its time, the FÉG in Budapest, Central Hungary
- The ruling party of 1946, the FKGP (Independent Smallholders' Party) with the ideologies of Protectionism, Pluralism, State Capitalism, Limited Citizenship, Pro Military it has the support of ~55-60% of the total population
- This one is fictional, but would give a nice flavour: After the revolution of 1956 or maybe after the refusing of becoming communist in 1949 an event should fire in which the player can call back Miklós Horty from his exile in Portugal and declare an absolute monarchy with the rule of the FKGP (Miklós Horthy was the regent of the country from 1920-1944 when the Germans captured him, after the war he was in exile in Portugal until his death)
- And the last thing: The Hungarian Irredentism should be called Revisionism and give claim/core to modern days Croatia, Voivodina, Transsylvania, Banat, Slovakia (including Uzghorod) and Eisenstadt
With these modifications Hungary could be a very interesting nation to play and a country with unique flavour.

I hope that you will include at least some of my ideas in the following versions of the mod.

Last but not the least I would like to encourage you to keep up the good and quality work.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I will implement the armies, the small arms factory and the FKGP party as ruling party in 1946 in CWE 1.04.
The remainder will be added in 1.05.

Thanks, and a small fixing: although the FKGP was a bit conservative it should be a socialist/progressive party since it promised social reforms (mainly for the lower classes such as distributing land) and various political reforms like universal voting and so on.

I am experiencing a crash everytime when I check the requirements for the decision 'Seize the means of production' I would like to ask whether it is a bug or I did something wrong.
PS: I am not using any other mod and I am runnig 3.04

It is a known bug. I have yet to find out what is causing it though.

Thanks! Do you have any possible suggestions for post Cold War Hungary? I will be most interested.

Reply Good karma+1 vote

Yes I do:

- 1989 March 15th huge protest involving several hundred thousand citizens--> an event increasing the total militancy by 3 or 4 and consciousness by 5 or 6
- 1989 March 22th the Opposition unites(should be an event which increase the popularity of liberalism and democracy by 30%)
-An event should fire on july 6th with the death of János Kádár(Chairman of the Communist Party) which start the decentralisation and the transition to democracy.
- 1989 June 16th the reburial of Imre Nagy(leader of the revolution of 1956) and his companions. (maybe an event which increase the popularity of liberalism and consciousness)
- 1989 October 23th the proclamation of the Republic of Hungary
- The ruling party of 1989 should be the Communist Party (MSZMP-Magyar Szocialista Munkáspárt-Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party) which should have the ideas: Protectionalism,Planned Economy,Atheism,Free Citizenship,Pro Military,
-After the proclamation of the republic the ruling party should be: MDF(Hungarian Democratic Forum) which is a conservative party with the ideologies of: Free trade, Interventionism, Secularism, Free Citizenship, Anti Military
- 1991 (no specific time) 'The Last Russian Soldier Leaves The Country' event, consciousness and militancy decreased by 2 or 3 and ruling party support increased by 10% moreover a prestige boost of x (amount to be balanced)

I will think about more (I have exact ideas tbh)
PS: I hope that you can balance these ideas if they seem too strong

Thanks! Those are excellent suggestions! I will try to implement them in 1.05 with some minor modifications.

I have some kind of bug, when i start the game instead of giving the usual loading texts it gives me random spanish/german/french(?) words like : Konflikt, socialisti etc. When finished loading the usual text is still replaced with random words. When i try to start a game it crashes somewhere in the loading screen but i can hear the usual music of the game.

Playing on english language with Vic 3.0.4

Got any solutions/advice ?
