UNION of Soviet Socialist Republics (And China too!)

Post by starwalker22 »

Hi everyone. I've been reading up in the forums for awhile here, and playing plenty of SR:CW. I for one do not like the choice to model the Soviet republics as colonies of Russia. It has been said multiple times that it would be easy to mod a change to this, so I checked it out and it was indeed very easy. This is an extremely simple mod, all it does is put the former colonies of the USSR under direct control of them in the campaign. I figure this might be appreciated to share, so here I am! Oh, and also, this mod has China absorb its colonies as well. I figured it wouldn't be fair to leave them out!

To install:
Extract the files to your Supreme Ruler Cold War folder. If you downloaded the first version of this mod, make sure you delete those files and re-add the old default campaign files (Told you to make a copy of them!) back where they belong.

Feedback or discussion is welcome!

Edit: Changed the mod so you don't have to overwrite your campaign, and can easily switch between a united USSR game and the regular campaign. Also added it as a scenario for multiplayer, which should work. I think. The game is now under: Single Player->Sandbox->Cold War-Union

That's funny, because I've made the same mod on russian forum yesterday evening:) And even with China too:) But with some minor changes (approval in both superpowers is a bit too low for me and dates of independence are deterministic). I absolutely agree with you. In my opinion, soviet republics to USSR were like a Scotland to UK. And their independence was only formal, with strong control of all production capacities from the Moscow.
Does your mod work without changes in file "Cold war.regioningcl"?

Sorry for my english if there are any mistakes in text.

Heh, great minds thing alike, eh? If I actually knew what I was doing I would probably make some similar changes to what you have mentioned. And yeah, I did not like the fact that I had very little control over these colonies (at least in my opinion) as the "USSR".
And yes, it DID work without changes to the regionincl file, but I've made a few changes now with the update so the mod will be able to work without overwriting the default campaign. Not sure if it isn't supposed to work without that, but I have no clue what I'm doing as I just started modding SR the day I put this up so... :oops:

And your English is better than most native speakers I come across. :-)

The mod works correctly, however I noticed that both Xinxiang (North of Tibet) is loyal to China, and so is Tibet. The regions, while being being part of China proper should not be loyal to the state, but to themselves (China should still control them directly however).

Also, some minor loyalty issues in Georgia SSR: Astrabak & South Osstetia are loyal to themselves and not USSR.

Hi, I'm new to the whole modding business. I tried following your instructions, but the modded version of the game isn't appearing under the campaign menu or custom scenarios. I'm pretty sure I've placed the files in the right directory.

Hmm... Well, I just updated the mod a bit, so at first I'd try it again with this update. If that doesn't work then post back and I'll try and help ya figure it out. Just a reminder: It will be under Sandbox under singleplayer, then "Cold War-Union" scenario.

No problem, I do not blame you for not noticing the m (particularly the ones in GSSR are just a few hexes... hard to notice them on the world map).

Keep up the good work!

IF you are using the mod's specific to 1949, the observation is very correct. As regards Tibet, the CIA was supporting a rebellion
against Chinese (Peking - as it was then in Wade Giles Mandarin transliteration) effort to re-assert its authority over the region in the wake of the ongoing Chinese Civil War with Kuomintang (KMT).

Xinxiang was less 'wayward' at the time....while the Ughers (pronounced "wee-gers") were never happy the Han Chinese rule, there were no outright rebellions (as in Tibet) during the 1949-50s period.

...how do you start a game with united soviet union?
downloaded, unpacked, all files go to places...

campaign starts with divided union, there is no "cold war - union" scenario...

...so how to use this mod?

This is a scenario and will therefore not affect existing save games. I would love to see it updated to the current version of the game, I have the old version on my computer, but it was based on a much older version (2011) of the campaign so I doubt you would have much use of it except for updating.

Are there any current plans to update this mod? If not can someone with the know-how tell me how to do it and then I'd give it a shot myself? Don't have any experience modding SRCW but have done some smaller personal mods in paradox titles like Vicky2 and HOI3 nothing complex though....
thanks
