Germany Mod 1

[Raisin Bran]

I talked of my intentions of making a World War 2 mod in another thread "A Germany Mod"

I've looked at some posts about WW2 mods --- Nice work by the way! ---
but I feel a simpler and more combat oriented mod would be better.

Starts spring 1942
short tech tree : 10 tech ~
Few civics : Economy - Labor
Fixed diplomacy : Leaders would have permanent alliances with allies only option would be to surrender -- Unconditional Surrender
few ressources
world map - Huge
5 civs
winning conditions : capturing key cities or unconditionnal surrender from enemy
only military units to build
3 upgrades max per units
Ressources like oil would have unlimited supplies (war lasted 6 years) production will be limitless but production time is according to units.

It's a work in progress and I await suggestions to make it better.
I don't want to make it too complicated "KISS" but I want to make it accurate (UU only, re-skinned units, map, units stats ect...).

Here we go!

My main basis for this mod is the axis and allies boardgame.
I've attached the map that is used for this game

(help me fill ??????? spaces)
I will post later the specs for the units but you see the picture.

The map I've attached shows the way I want the borders to be (lets start right in the action)

I'm thinking how the mechanics of the game should be for this to be simple to manage (ressources and all) having 80% of building military units and combat and 20 % managing.

Now I want your feedbacks tell me what you think!
I want suggestions - name for units, specs for units, dynamics of the game ect....

I don't like WW I or II games.

That said I think your mod idea is pretty good! The "smallness" sounds as if it's not going overboard by making up extra stuff to fill a huge space. For such a short time period your idea of keeping it small sounds really good.
I might even try it out!

Shouldn't the British bomber be the Lancaster? Could be completely wrong, dunno.

The other infantry for Japan should be the SNLF (Special Naval Landing Forces). They were the Japanese marines. Most of the islands were captured and then garrisoned by the SLNF

Some Japanese subs carried airplanes (up to three with parts for a 4th). While they wouldn't be worthy of a combat unit in the game, they could be represented by a +1 or +2 spotting rnage for Japanese subs.

SNLF Is a good name ..... I would even put an extra defensive bonus (+50% defence bonus vs gunpowder units) for those troops because during the ''island hop'' campaing the americans got an extremely ferocious opposition from the japanese troops. (fight to the last no surrender is acceptable) tell me what you think!

 

[Raisin Bran]

nobody has anything else to say !?!?!?!?!?!?! tought this mod would attract more feedbacks than that!

Anyhow .... Im waiting 1 week then I go through all of this!

 

[Raisin Bran]

I took some time off in my personal life .... so I did not do anything on my mod!

Ill try to do some next week as I will have more time on my hands
