Re: Supreme Ruler 1936 Triumph of the Kaiser mod
Alright I am currently finishing up on firming up the spheres of influence in this mod. I have decided that this mod will take a more Cold War tone however instead of 2 spheres there will be 5. Below are the major powers in each sphere
Monarchist: Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Japan
Fascist: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Vichy France, China (at the beginning of the game anyway)
Communist: Soviet Union, People's Republic of China (China will start the game in the midst of a civil war between the Fascists and Communists)
Democratic: United States, Great Britain, French Republic, Turkey
Non Aligned: India, Egypt, South Africa.
Anyway, I need someone to add the beveled edge effect to these two flags http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... 918%29.svg
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... alicia.svg
What I've decided to do is just scrap all the Cold War events completely and start over. Some events I've got planned are"
a Monarchist versus Democratic civil war in Mexico where the Austro Hungarian Empire intervenes to attempt to install a Mexican Emperor. The United States does not intervene directly but sends arms to the Democratic side of the civil war. After several years at war without a conclusive victory the Austro Hungarian Empire will experience significant civil unrest in the 1960s and 70s that, if left unchecked, could cause the downfall of the monarchist sphere.
On June 25th 1950 the Cold War in France will turn hot, with the State of France invading the French Republic to reunify the country under Fascist rule. Ideally I want to set up some sort of Korean War type scenario where major powers intervene on both sides and the war ends in a stalemate at the pre war borders. I'm also planning a postwar insurgency in Vichy Algeria that the State of France will have to put down after the inner French war ends.
In addition I am planning on massively expanding the unit tree that nations can research in this mod although I will need some help with this. If anyone is interested in helping me please shoot me a pm! My plan is to balance out all the major powers so that they all can research nuclear missile subs, super carriers, ICBMs, strategic bombers, and missile cruisers/battlecruisers somewhat equally. For example, I'm going to need help designing and naming a German counterpart to the B-52 strategic bomber.

I transferred hexes through events. I did it by battlezones when possible but when I couldn't do that I resorted to using events for individual hexes to transfer ownership.RichyRich136 wrote:This is looking awesome!!!! Can't wait

Re: Supreme Ruler 1936 Triumph of the Kaiser mod
Great project, and I wish I could offer useful help. Depending on what you need I might be able to help out a bit. I don't have any experience modding this game, but I would like to learn.
Not to distract you from it, but given your obvious affection for alternate history gaming, there is an old Matrix games title you might want to check out: "War Plan Orange." There were also a few alternate-alternate mods of the game itself!
Basic idea of the game is: The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 fell through and instead of a reduction in naval arms, there was instead a dramatic escalation in the global naval arms race. If memory serves the game started in 1926 and one could play any of the major powers that had territory in the greater pacific region (U.S., Japan, Netherlands, UK, etc.). The game started as a mod of the old War in the Pacific game, and it was so popular and successful that I guess the modder got Matrix go publish it.

Re: Supreme Ruler 1936 Triumph of the Kaiser mod
I actually wasn't aware there was a computer game version of War Plan Orange. I have the board game for it as well as the board game for War Plan Red. Anyway, one thing that would definitely help would be a historical researcher who could dig into archives of major powers to find hypothetical designs they developed and then come up with in game unit stats for them. For example, the German "Amerika Bomber" project.Anthropoid wrote:Great project, and I wish I could offer useful help. Depending on what you need I might be able to help out a bit.

Well I was hoping someone could be a bit more detailed and come up with in game unit stats lol. I also need someone who has experience with editing the unit files.Anthropoid wrote:Amerika Bomber project <-- How's that for quick and thorough "research"!?

Re: Supreme Ruler 1936 Triumph of the Kaiser mod
Where are these "unit files" and how what application do we use to access and edit them . . . I hope it isn't something boring like a text editor
Been taking this online class on making an RPG game in HTML5 so I'm a bit loopy

It's in the DEFAULT.UNITS file, and yes, you do need the text editor to edit itAnthropoid wrote:Where are these "unit files" and how what application do we use to access and edit them . . . I hope it isn't something boring like a text editor

Re: Supreme Ruler 1936 Triumph of the Kaiser mod
Okay, with the release of the latest BG update, this mod is roaring back to life! The first beta release is slated for June 20th 2015. Be on the lookout for a trailer within the next two weeks! Also, I have an update on Israel's inclusion in the mod. I have decided to go with the Kimberley plan. North western Australia will become an independent Jewish homeland which will declare independence on May 1st 1949. If anyone would like to suggest borders, new names for all the cities, good locations for military naval ports in the area, etc. please feel free to post!

I figured this might be a cool location. the borders i chose go mostly along rivers. and as you can see there are plenty of locations for cities and ports.Cdiplayer wrote:If anyone would like to suggest borders, new names for all the cities, good locations for military naval ports in the area, etc. please feel free to post!
