Unfortunately almost all Mods threaten a kind of Sleeping Beauty. More than half of the players attended, if at all, only the technical forum or looking for updates. The majority of the remaining players consider mods to be ridiculous gadgets of nerd freaks. Or do not know how to install a mod and is afraid to damage the (original) game. And then there is still quite a number of players who would like to play a mod, but only if it was ennobled and promoted by the developers. The sad but faithful rest is then mumbling on our Mod pages. Maybe Hubert and Bill could sometimes call a mod contest and add the best five as a bonus to an update. Just a thought ...

Has anyone tried this? I will likely have an update soon, so any feedback to the current version would be appreciated.

Hi Chris, while playing your campaign one of the German CA or CC got hit by rough seas but no strength point was deducted, I don't know if this bug is from your campaign or the game engine.

Regards.

This is actually intended in the default campaign. It is a change from SC2, but I have seen some instances where points are still lost to the smaller naval units

Thanks Bill.

Yes indeed, and further still when we attempt to put a Mod on the main forum page, it gets rudely removed and shoved into the back-alley Mod page by a moderator

Status: offline 		In reply to the above I understand mods are pushed aside so early after release, it's really understandable.

I am looking forward to seeing some others and seeing what works and what does not. There are lots of ideas thrown around so far!

An update to my own: I wil have to update based on some small changes (nothing major) and minor fixes, nothing that is game breaking. I'm working through them as I go.

Second I will have to wrap my head around how to update my majors again. I removed Poland in favour of both Finland and Romania in my previous mod and will have to tackle this next.

However, knowing good mods, like yours (which I sincerely look forward to starting) reassures me of continued enjoyment of the game. Having individuals like you add rich and varied content is very appreciated.

Status: offline 		I tried to edit your mod because I think that in the vanilla edition there is an issue concerning the weather: in few zones as British Islands, Scandinavia and North America, the weather in late spring is far more better than in summer. Anyway, when I go to save it after the weather editing, I get the message that several scripts are not updated. They are really a lot ad it takes a lot of time to update all, so that I did not go on. If I save the mod without updating the scripts the game loose all events and the convoy routes disappear from the map.
What is wrong?

Also the version online is quite outdated I should probably upload a new version. Much has changed, and many scripts rewritten and all known scripting errors fixed.

The Editor needs to check the scripts if certain changes are made to the campaign, so it's best to go through the Update process when required as otherwise the scripts may not fire.

This because it is nomore a major power, so that it has nomore a morale level.
I got Warsaw on September 15th, and now I'm playing the november 16th turn. Polish unists are still there, an Poland still survive. Maybe I have to destroy all these units to see Poland surrender.
This stops me to transfer my army to the french front.

Now I restart the game and make a second try, but if Poland is too strong because I cannot lower its morale to zero, and does not surrender neither in the second try I'm going to do, I think that this has to be fixed.

Could you let me know if this happens again? This seems very odd that Poland could fight until April and only have 1 unit left. Poland should act like any other country and surrender once the Capital Falls very quickly. Removing them as a Major just made them like any other nation like Greece/Belgium/Netherlands who should surrender when occupied.
