Any progress toward releasing an update since it's been awhile? No pressure I'm just curious.


Not really - there aren't many comments from people playing it, so I am kinda assuming no-one is that bothered about the whole thing and I've not been investing more time in it.

I think this mod is amazing, really good alternate history. I actually played a game against the AI and won by , holding Tehran, conquering Paris, and taking Poland.

Glad you like it! I don't know of the 'general connection error' message but doubt it's related to the mod specifically.

My focus is on another project now, but very pleased to hear that even in this beta-state this one is a rewarding experience for people.

Both of those are in need of fixing. Sadly to update a Unit Availability date, every unit type appears to need to be updated separately for every nation, which makes it a tedious and error-prone task. There are a few oddities in there for the majors as well.

Glad you like it and thank you for the feedback! :D



It is possible to do it only once for a country, via "Apply Data" and select all units & all countries in the Editor.

I like your scenario so far. What effect does declaring war on Belgium (as Germany) have? The British are outraged, it says, so it is the NM decline or something else?

Yes, an NM decline. On reflection, probably not a big enough penalty.

Balance is difficult to find out in single player. It looks quite smooth for the central powers so far, at least not more difficult than the vanilla game. The AI has it shortcomings - I was able to smash the French Navy in a few rounds with combined British and German ships. So it may look different in multiplayer.

Another thing I noticed is a pop-up which says Germany and Austria-Hungary celebrate the entry of Ottoman Empire into the war. Even though the Ottomans enter war on the allied side.

I like the historical flavour, for example the story with Persian cavalry instructed by Swedish officers.

• French front: The combined forces of Germany (through Belgium) and Britain were able to drive to Paris in September 1912. The Ostende event seems not to have worked as described, it was instantly occupied by the French. In May 1913, French Morale went down to -1% so it should have surrendered by then.

• Blockade/Navy gameplay: Here, the AI shows its shortcomings. British and German navy were able to smash the French fleet in a few months. Only submarines survived. Blockade hexes could be occupied all the time from Januaray 1912.

• Russia: Similar to the basic game. In May 1913, Riga, Minsk and Kiev are taken and Russian NM is down to 24%. Are there scripted events yet to come like the Russian Revolution?

• Italia: Similar to the basic game. Austria-Hungary was able to breakthrough in Udine/Venice area after one year.

• Balkans: There is an oddity - the Ottoman border is only one hex and the AI keeps sending Corps which arrive next to Sarajevo with 0 supply. Maybe there should be a road connection between 185,97 and 186,98 so that they have some supply?

• Middle East/Iran: A real highlight - very tight and suspenseful theatre! Egypt was conquered instantly by the Ottomans. Baghdad was conquered by the British and retaken, then there were heavy fights near Basra and Tehran. However, Russia could be detained with help of the Willcocks HQ and mountain corps unit.
The loop from North Atlantic to the Persian Gulf shows some strange behaviour - sending units there seems to take forever - like 8 rounds or something. I thought the unit was lost after all, because the text also says "Allies only".

I really enjoyed the scenario. Even though it was easy against the AI, it might be quite balanced for multiplayer if it's finished.

I implore the author to persist.
