Don't expect much info any time soon as I have little free time for modding but I wanted to share the "news" with anyone that might be interested.
So, the general idea is creating a world in 1970 with alternative "future" to follow
I'll start with updating the "world map" to represent the 1970 probably in the following manner:
adjust: independent status for colonies; I'm also considering merging USSR colonies with USSR.
adjust: population, gdp/c, tech known, designs known
adjust: countries names and flags
adjust: existing .oof and .oob files (wishfull thinking this one, I know
)Also, depending on whether BattleGoat will do or not do the balancing of the unit stats in .UNIT file, I might need to do extensive work there (
still hoping BG will eventually correct huge amount of discrepancies between the unit stats within the same unit class and between unit classes as well) but I can say for sure that some amount of new units will be added to the existing list and most of the "future fictional" units will be removed from the mod (laser weapons, robotic weapons and all other not widely used equipment by year 2010 or 2012). I'll also remove most of the "fictional worldwide" units from the list as in the 1970 there will be quite the solid number of researched designs to choose from. The mod will feature a "background/foreground" story which will be partialy driven by events system but as this is still faaaar away in the "development" process of this mod (probably counting in tens of months
) no need to go into the details. This is it for now. See you in couple of months
/research/confirm/fix...
) so even though I managed to collect all the data needed to recreate tha 1970 world map, population, GDP/c, correct names, units, general ideas about the fictional story, last few months where quite hectic and I actually haven't worked on this since late February/March
