Modern Alliances

[dacubz145]

Finally all Naval UU's are in, moving on to finish the Air units

Current Counts:
199 UU's added + 146 Base Unit Classes

 

[dacubz145]

All Air Units are in, now need to quickly do missiles, and then on to land units

Once units are done, i have buildings to do, but those should be very quick as ive already done many, then small things like civics etc. then a release of the new update

Once the update is done i will worry about converting aob's 1914 and 1920 scenario to work with the new update, and be ready for the second update

Nice dacubz, i really look forward on playing your mod. I'm playing modern earth from kiwitt right now.

What will the scenario be in this new update?

 

[dacubz145]

none, sadly just custom game, but custom game should work great, as the mod is literally from scratch, completely new tech tree, 100% more accurate and wider range units, fixed crashes, more modern buidlings, wonders, resources etc.

http://www.2shared.com/file/-ZHWI753/TTT_-_Modern_Alliances_-_Copy.html anyone wantto see the mod

 

[dacubz145]

@aob

ive created a list of corporation I think should be added to the mod. I tried by best (somewhat) to create a variety so it is not so much just US corps.
Am i missing any obvious ones? i want to get more corporations which were strong during the WWs as most info out there are about current corpps

If you need another Telecom corporation, you could use MTN. It's South African but you can find it pretty much all across Africa.

I like that idea, I could use an African Country

Automobile

saab - sweden

Bently's been owned by another company for the last 80 some years. I will add jaguar, but the rest don't seem as dominant in their field compared to the rest. Rolls-Royce is already under A/D and I will place Saab there (RR was under A/D while I was going through Forbes, so I placed it there, categories don't matter, each corp will be different)

Aerospace/Defense
Pratt & Whitney - usa
Bombardier Inc - Canada
Airbus - france
Embraer - brazil
Saab Group - Sweden

I like the idea of a SA one, so I will add Embraer and also Saab will be added. I beleive Mikoyan and Sukhoi are better choises for Russia, as they were around during WW2 and are not just modern

I really like the idea of DELAG, that will be added. KLN, Avianca, Qantas, and Lufthansa will be added, The rest, don't want to add "Czech Air" cause in custom game, if that gets founded in Brazil, it seems a bit odd...

I must of forgot a category I had these on a list, they must of gotten lost
Of course Apple, Microsoft will be in. Sony Toshiba Panasonic LG and Goodmans will be in as well

Please note that I have a limited amount of corporations I can add, it is not like civilizations, once I get past a certain number of corporations the mod seizes to work, but thanks to WOC, I beleive that number is over 130.

 

[Civ'ed]

If you need one more corporation, I managed to think of one:
Zeppelin Luftfahrtgesellschaft GmbH (or just Zeppelin)

I didn't think you'd add them all in my friend, just giving you options I can think of/find and then the choice was yours.

I really like the idea of DELAG, that will be added

I thought you might

 

[dacubz145]

If you need one more corporation, I managed to think of one:
Zeppelin Luftfahrtgesellschaft GmbH (or just Zeppelin)

The problem with adding to many Zeppelin corporations is there is no way to remove them. I plan on making the corporations a huge part of the game and the economy. Corporations will spread, and will allow buildlings (in some cases units) to be built which will dramatically effect the economy. So what the goal is, America's and other powers have many corporations in their cities, as well as many economy boosting buildings, so their economy skyrockets, a lot, compared to weaker economies, but then units like battleships cost a lot of upkeep, therefore a huge economy is the only one who can maintain large units. therefore you don't have central america easily building battleships in WW2.

So I don't want a airship airline still giving bonus in 2000.

@aob, options are always good, and if you come across any other corporations you see that should be placed in (mostly WW2 ones, as some nazi corporations could help in a WW2 scenario)

 

[dacubz145]

Aob

Do you beleive the centaur tank should be in the mod? Or just leave it with cromwell? I have models for both, what do you think?

Also what about the cavalier tank, although british according to wiki, only the french used them in combat, so do you think they should be british or UK units?

(I'm currently converting the British ciV units into cIV units)

(I'm currently converting the British ciV units into cIV units)

centaur was mostly used for training and Cromwell is better known so I would just leave it with the Cromwell unless you wanted to have 2 different UU's for the same unit.

as for the cavalier tank well unless you want it to fill a UU gap for UK or france then its not really worth adding.

 

[dacubz145]

I have multiple UU's for each unit. The way I ahve it set up, is the UU's are their own unit classes so they don't exactly have any connection to their UU classes. They are their own seperate unitclasses, so they don't really need to follow any specific rules (ex. Although the MK I and the Crusader Tank are both "UU's" for a cavalry tank, the MK I will upgrade to the MK VI and will have their own stats)

 

[aob86]

if you have the art and wish to add them in and then by all means please do, no reason not to, could use cavalier tank as an UU for both france and uk if you want, no reason why not.

how did you end up doing the Sherman btw? as many countries used it. I remember us talking about using the Sherman firefly for the british one.

 

[dacubz145]

I have the art for them, but they can't be UU's for more than one civ. How the UU system works, each UU can only belong to one civ, but i duplicate units in some ways.

What I do for boats is if the boats are sold after use in the original navy (Ex. Gearing Class of the U.S. we were the only builders/operators untill we sold them) it will only be for the U.S. as no one else actually built it, so empowering them to is unrealistic. But for other classes, such as your British Tribal Class, there were ships built by Canada And Australia, I created "False" classes based on the real ships. So the 8 Canadian Tribal ships, have their own UU named Iroquios Class (after the first ship built) and although the Iroquois class never really existed, the units were real.

Not sure what I am going to do with planes and tanks yet. But for sherman there will be the Sherman Firefly for the British, the Super Sherman for Israel, and the Grizzly I for Canada. Other than those three, I am not sure if any other country used the Sherman enough to have it as a UU (if I am wrong please say). Otherwise I can just create another M4 Sherman unit for that country, and just change the amount it can build (ex. if Peru built 20 of them, peru would be restricted to only build 4 Shermans (tanks will be restricted to 1 cIV unit for each made in real life)).

 

[aob86]

but the m50/m51 Super Sherman were 10 years after WW2. surely they shouldn't be able to build at the same time as US Sherman it was 15ish years after the original sherman

 

[dacubz145]

As I said each UU will be its own unit. WHich means its own stats etc. etc. So the Super Sherman will not be able to be built untill later as you said, it will require a later tech...plus even if could be, israel wasn't around so it couldnt be built either way

There are technically no UU's in this mod. Each UU is actually its own unit, thats how you should look at it, except the units require a specific technology,that only the home country can build

Also anyway you can see if you got any info on how many SH-3 Sea King's were built for the U.S? can't seem to find it anywhere
