crispy131313 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have completed my first ever mod, 1939 War In Europe and am currently doing a final play test. I've decided after that is finished I will upload it to the repository for any interested players. I have made some few hundred changes to Event scripts and some AI scripts. Finland and Romania are Axis majors in this campaign, and Poland is no longer a Major. There are also a few new historically minor countries in this campaign. National morale plays a new larger role in this campaign, then in Storm Over Europe, and some countries have more than the regular avenue of Surrender. There are 40+ War Entry scripts that fire at random low percentages (You may hit none or a few per game), to give them game some replay value. These are clearly labeled and can toggled off on the decision screen. Axis and Allied AI is fully functional and updated for any changes to the campaign. Special credit to Cantona66. Many changes were inspired by his great Mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon 141 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looking forward to your mod! The changes sound really good, especially the new importance of national morale could give the game a new twist! Hope to be able to play it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abukede Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Would you mind listing some of the changes you made beyond what is listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 There's lots of changes. I'll list a few more here since you asked! These are basically just snippets of how I approached some events: On German Industry/Resources: - Some expansion of Industries as the war progresses - Oil Shortages depleting industry/MPP - Industrial Unrest as Morale Lowers - Allied Bombing Raids - Possibility of Atomic Bomb Attack On Stalingrad: - Failure to capture Stalingrad in 1942 results in large Axis National morale losses and military loses on Stalingrad front - AI help for Russian on Stalingrad front, (Military Forces and Stronger Scorched Earth around Stalingrad) - Morale boosts for Axis capture of Stalingrad North Africa: - Germany can direct forces from the Eastern Front to Africa (Rommel, DAK) - Italy can reinforce Africa or the mainland - Increased Allied presence for balancing - Italian morale tied to holding the region Finnish Surrender: - Finland will withdraw from the war when there National Moral falls below 1% - Finland may withdraw from the war if it loses territories it reclaimed in the Continuation War - Finland will surrender if conquered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Here's a progress update for anyone interested. Did a play test into 1942 and am pretty happy thus far, fixing a few balancing issues currently and adding some more decisions, National Morale events etc. That I felt should have been additions to the game as I was playing through. Having Romania as a Major has felt right so far, if they (and their Hungarian Minor) are used as cannon fodder they will not be easily replaced. You can sometimes reach level 1 infantry prior to war with Russia but it gets pretty hard to research afterwards. Finland has been a tough nut as they historically were concerned about recapturing territory, but I have found ways around that. 1 Big way has been a key decision event that basically has the player decide if Finland will Join the Axis or just fight their own little war with Russia. If they join the Axis it's a double edged sword. The help they will get from Germany (MPP, units) is unrepeatable within their own resources and build limits but will also be met with contempt from the Western Allies and within their own borders.

crispy131313 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Game is Completely Finished. I'm going to consider the this "War In Europe" 1.0 as future updates are a possibility based on the feedback I get, on whether the game is balanced, or more enjoyable from playing one side or the other. I'll be uploading the campaign to the repository tonight. I'll also post up here later today a list of many of the changes I've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I had forgotten to change the zoomable units, but have done so now. This will be part of War In Europe 2.0 which I have decided to work on. I have not yet found any problems with 1.0 but if you have any feedback or find something please let me know!

crispy131313 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I am currently working on a massive update for "War in Europe" which will have many changes. There will be much more focus on decisions regarding, diplomacy and foreign trade, as well as new countries, more national morale events among other things. For anyone who has played this mod, is there are problems to report, balancing issues, or general suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes I have much done but have been moving to a new city so have been slow to finish the update. Expect it soon though now that Fall Weiss 2 is already finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
