Middle East Mod 1948 v.1

In May 1948, the State of Israel is founded and immediately has to face the mighty armies of the neighbouring arab states threatening to instantly crush the newly founded home of the jews. A hard and bitter war is about to begin and who knows how it will end? Will you side with the young Israeli state and fight for your survival? Or will you take part in the arab campaign, ultimately driving the newcomers back to the sea? But besides, there are also other mighty players in this game who have until now been watching. Apart from Egypt, Turkey and Iran are about to become the supreme hegemonial powers in the region. Whose side will they join and will they continue to coexist in peace?

Features:
- Modified Religions: Sunni and Shia Islam included
- 2 New Technologies: Guerilla and Mobile Warfare
- 7 New Leaderheads, including Nasser, David Ben Gurion, Atatürk, Ibn Saud and others
- 9 new Units included: APCs, Transport Helicopters, Modern Privateers, Mudshahiddin, Guerilla Fighters, Anti-Aircraft Guns, Arab Militia, Mounted Militia and Armored Vehicles
- New nation-specific unit skins and models for several units, including Merkava and Namgachon tanks for Israel, russian T-26 and T-55 Tanks, Hind and Eurocopter Gunships, Arab Marines, Infantry, Machine Gunners, Israeli SAM, AT-Infantry, Paratroopers, Arab Legion and a whole lot more, concluding to a 43 new units in total.
- Real nation flags for Greece, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Saudi-Arabia and others.
- New buildings in the capitals of Israel, Russia and UK representing the support they would get from outside the map.

It looks interesting, but I'm having trouble downloading it from rapidshare. Can you upload the file to CFC? It doesn't seem so big.
 
Well, its 26MB and when uploading at CFC its telling you that max. upload size is 10MB, so I had to do it with rapidshare.

Think I will check for bbai and there are also lots of units and improvements that could be added in a version 1.1. ;)
 
hi sven',
you can use mediafire, sendfile, filefactory, there are many good and better then rapidshare.

yeah, take your time on adding stuff that will contribute the most to the game play, remember, more isnt always better :)
g'luck, as an israeli, ill keep an eye for this mod and play it.
 
I'd really like to check this out, but the download link isn't working (as has been mentioned). :(
 
Changed the download link to mediafire, hope it will work better there. But first, the download link has to be approved by the mods again.

Sorry for the delay - I got married this weekend and hence had other things in mind ;)
 
to add a special unit so only certain units can load onto your helicopter is all you did was add the special unit to specialunitinfos.xml and then add the tag in the Unitinfos.xml to the units along with the cargo modifier to the transport?
 
Yupp, thats what i did.

Anyone any suggestions or comments about the mod, by the way?
How are your games going, who allies with whom, is everything working?
 
I think it is fun and I like the new units/artwork. I'd prefer a limited era scenerio though. I was able to take over Israel with Egypt in 2 years.

I like your modern privateer and moded it for my mod. However, now the animated explosion is too big and not to scale. Do you have any suggestions or could you take a look at it?
 
How is the 2004 senario coming along. The only mod about this time period. Played as U.S.S.R
and conquered all of Iran,Afghanistan and Pakistan. Vassalized Iraq. Wish more people knew about this mod.
 
To be honest, I hadnt had the time to work on the 2004 scenario since last year, so things didnt come along in any way :(

Some weeks ago I did some updating on the 1948 mod, but unfortunately I dont see that I have the time to work on the mod as much as I would like in the coming weeks. There are a lot of ideas in my mind about things that could or should be changed, but I just dont have the time to do it ...

So if anyone else feels motivated to continue my work, I would be glad to send him my stuff, otherwise I guess this mod wont be developed much further and end as just another dead mod :(

But anyways, I appreciate your feedback and enjoying the mod! :)
 
Thank's for replying! It's good to know that the mod is not dead.:)
However i cannot mod very well.:(. But I will ask some of my friend's if they could help.
 
It's a shame this interesting and simple mod did not get more attention. I am testing it to see if 3-Way PBEM is possible with this mod: West+Israel, East+Iraq, Iran.
