End of an Era (mod)

Post by Hullu Hevonen »

Hello!

This is my first project for SRCW, with some experience from making mods for SR2020(some may know my previous mods) :-) , hope you'll enjoy this mod as well 8) .

Intro
This mod starts on 31th December 1991, The Soviet Union has collapsed, there is allot of tension in the air around the world. As Europe is armed to the teeth and much of the world still having large conscript armies combined with the tensions that erupted during the late 80's and early 90's, there may be some interesting game play ahead. The mod introduces 'true' frontal warfare and large infantry battles :wink: . There's also a scenario where all hell brakes lose into a WWIII :-) .

Download v1.13.931
The mod's Forum

Media
Screens
Italian WW3 AAR Live AAR(v1.7.618)
Israeli Live AAR(v1.5.520)
An AAR(v1.0.74)
_______________________________________________________________________

Main Features

- Sandbox
End of an Era - The main campaign, the campaign starts at the end of 1991, made to be as real world as possible. USSR has disintegrated, there's tension in some parts of the world.
End of an Era Inf Free - Same as above, except for not starting with infantry

- Multiplayer Campaign(s)
End of an Era
End of an Era Inf Free
Early Apocalypse
World War III

- Scenarios
Early Apocalypse - The Machines have grown sentient and launches an global invasion
World War III - Well, all hell brakes lose when the west decides to launch an suprise war against the disintagrating east, though Moscow manages to gather a coalition of eastern nations and World War III is born.

- Other content
new and modded units, new and modded techs. ~41500 individual events(most are small ones). Some graphical changes. hundreds of new leaders. ~116 orbats.

_______________________________________________________________________

--->Hullu's Recommended System Requirements<---
- Processor: Quad Core or greater(will work with dual core, but it might be laggy)
otherwise the same as before

Reason: mod contains huge armies, this in turn puts extra stress on the processor.
Why huge armies? Because this period was a period where nations where armed to the teeth with all kinds of stuff and had HUGE reserves.

Known issues
-Game is laggy, it's by design
Hullu Hevonen wrote:It is normal, with this mod I went for total realism which means, I added the complete militaries of most countries, including conscripts etc, this is by design. For me the speed varies according to what wars are ongoing, and the amount of iunits on the planet. Usually for example when i'm playing the World War III scenario I experience slower speeds, but when the world armies start to get more depleted I notice a speed increase :P .

Regarding aircraft carriers, the USA today has 11 supercarriers, for your information. They also have a large number of ships designated as amphibious assault ships which can launch both aircraft and large numbers of helicopters, not to mention cruise missiles and ground troops including heavy weapons, of which they probably had even more in 1992, but not sure of that.

Well done on the mod, I especially loved your focus on rebel groups across the world, hoping you will work more on those. It does seem some of the civil wars are flawed and some OOBs need some work. Many african nations that had an air force seem to lack any, Azawad seems to be unable to resist two measly Malian Concript II units. The Somalian Civil War seems to work out well though, at least if the government is run by the player. But you might want to work a bit more on balancing resources. Industrial goods and military goods seem to be on an extremely short supply.

Yup, there are issues, and for this version I decided to use a new .wmdata(a bunch of economic related stuff), I actually had had Afganistan pieced into 7 factions, though I ran out of regions(hit the max allowed by the engine) :-) . I will be figuring ways to fix the issues with the rebels. Appryciate your feedback :-)

Do PM me if you ever want me to look for OOB:s (or really any stats for some nations). I will do my best to find them, but I can't help you implementing them in the mod.

Yup, I have been reading and researching for this mod my self, the OOBs are based on The Military Balance 1992-1993 and much economic data are from indexmundi, nationmaster and other sites.
