1936 total modification mod

Post by vahadar »

No link for now

As of Q2 2017 this is still a WIP for Supreme Ruler Ultimate (ported from SR1936)
/*******/
Done so far : China states (+ east asia in general, south east asia not done yet -burma, siam...-) + events for Japan and its puppets
Spanish civil war finished + events
Germany + puppets started Q4 2016, huge work ahead.

All units reviewed for historical accurate range, especially naval units, all ships now have historical range for main guns + torpedoes, better when playing without extended range or spotting option.
New "recomissioned units" ie kongo class after its successive modernization (various sets of units). Only for the main naval units of the game for each nation. Unfortunatly upgrade system in unit files doesnt work, need to find a way to do it properly with current game mechanics.
/*******/

Original post :

It is currently a work in progess i've been working on since a few weeks, it is a huge work so it will be ready when it is ready, might expect an apha release this Q4 :)
Currently only planning for a game start in 1936.

This mod will be heavily scripted so it wont reflect a pure sandbox game, but will try to reflect the timeline of WW2.
I am trying to allow as much liberties as possible in sandbox when triggering events with special conditions so the player can still choose to skip them if not met. Some will happen whatever the player do.

It will feature more nations and pupet states, more historical war and events, and will modify quite some units with a few new additions

New states or pupets (based on events during game or at game start, or modification of current state in game) :
Monaco & German Monaco (can be italy then germany puppet based on event)
San Marino (will declare war on germany after some events)

List of changes here :

This mod is meant to be played with enhanced range and spotting turned off.

Ballistic range changes :
All artillery and naval units (like 99.9%) now reflect historic standard HE shell ammunition range (M102 HE, M107 HE, L15A2 HE, OF45 HE...), that means almost all range are now reduced, with real world range in kilometer.
All range were rounded down to the next whole number, even if closer to next integer (19.7km in real world is 19km in game, while 19.8 or 19.9 could translate as 20).
Choice was made to choose average range from the available non-assisted HE ammunitions for one gun, when known. Ie for the 2S7 Pion 203mm, HE range varies from 25km(3ВОФ42) to 37km(3ВОФ34), so base range is 31km in game. Techs would then simulate better ammunition like ERFB-BB.
When no data available for standard HE, ERFB is used instead (but not base bleed), giving advantage to a very few number of units (range increase by 5km average probably).

In vanilla most artillery units range were way too high compared to real world values, especially for modern guns, where most ingame values were similar to real world range for ERFB or even base bleed ammunition. Or sometime they were just actual range in yard instead of kilometer.

To balance this, changes were introduced with modified/new Cold War and modern era long range projectile techs as follow :

ERFB Extended Range Full Bore artillery +70% Ballistic Artillery Range
ERFB-BB Base Bleed +30% Ballistic Artillery Range
VLAP Velocity-enhanced Long-range Artillery Projectile (tier1) +10% Ballistic Artillery Range
VLAP (tier2) +10% Ballistic Artillery Range
RAP Rocket assisted projectile +20% Ballistic Artillery Range
BER Ballistic Extended Range / GLR Guided Long Range ammunition +25% Ballistic Artillery Range
NPLCA New Precision Large Calibre Ammunition +10% Ballistic Artillery Range
LRLAP Long Range Land Attack Projectile +15% Ballistic Artillery Range

All range bonus are cumulative, BER/GLR projectiles are generally improved ERFB-BB/VLAP projectiles. LRLAP is improved BER/GLR projectile.
so ERFB-BB is 2.21 times normal range (real world varies between 1.3 and 2.5 times)
RAP is 3,20892 times normal range
LRLAP is 5,07410475 times normal range

These adjustments are most realistic for units around 17-20km base range, which are the majority even during modern era. Above it can lead to unrealistic over improved range (of course ammo variation and calibre in real world is not simulated here, that's the reason some howitzer have better ERFB-BB real world stats than others when base HE range is identical).
some examples :
G5 155mm Towed or G6 Rhino ingame/real range : 18/18km base HE, 30/30km ERFB, 39/39km ERFB-BB, 48/50km VLAP-2
G7 105mm Towed Howitzer : 24/24km base HE with standard Rheinmetall Denel Munition, 53/29-32km ERFB-BB, 58/36km VLAP-1
PLL-01 155mm Howitzer : 24/24km base HE, 40/30km ERFB, 53/39km ERFB-BB

For a start i'll release an early version next month featuring just the Spanish civil war, which i'm working on right now, that would be a mod on its own.
My plan is to release a second version of the mod in july/august with all modifications for China and events (all chinese factions and japan puppets events).

The rest will come little by little untill the end of the year, and you guys will test this ;)

Russia and Japan definately need some balancing. Neither build enough units. Japan needs to expand southwards. America doesn't leave the USA so some help getting them off their duff would be great.

With the new event system we can make AI hotspot to force AI somewhere at a certain time, with a certain number of units, based on certain events or not. This might help to achieve what you expect AI to do (USA/Japan amphibious assault, German advance in Russia and so on).
I'm not there yet at all, i just tested the event but i'm not planning to use it before i focus on germany/italy/japan modifications. So i cant really tell if it is working good.
I'm still on Spanish civil war now, expect some beta at the end of the month or july.

Just to let you guys know that i am back on this mod, i have made a lot of progress since last year, tinkering with the game and making small mini mods for myself, and i think i have a full understanding of the event system by now. So i can finally do the difficult part of my project.

I am moving my work on Supreme ruler ultimate actually, polishing a first version with China factions (done) and spanish civil war (to do). No ETA yet, but i guess soon ;)

edit : i will also realease a 1936 version of this mod when done, but i'm focusing on the newest release of SR at the moment.
