German Leaders Expanded

Hello guys,
this Mod adds a lot of new military leaders for the german army (Wehrmacht) and the german navy (Kriegsmarine). It includes 46 new military leaders for the land forces (4 field marshals and 42 generals) and 10 new leaders for the naval forces.
All traits of the new leaders are fit to their historical tasks and military units they’ve led before and during World War 2, to give the game a more authenical feeling.
Even the game included leaders (political, military and naval leaders) were replaced and reworked by myself with authentical and historical accurate color photos, some pictures I had to recolorize by myself, cause it wasn’t possible to find any good color photos for some leaders.
I hope that you’ll enjoy the mod and I would be very happy if you would let me your feedback in the comment section below, cause I’ll try to fix some buggs from time to time and keep this mod up to date (when new updates will come out).

Sincerely yours Flavius

RECENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Will you keep this mod up to date?
Yes I will.

2. Will you add more leaders?
At the moment…no, but from time to time.

3. Do I need a DLC to use this mod?
No this mod doesn’t require any DLC for Hearts of Iron IV.

4. Is this mod compatible to other mods?
You’ll have to find out by yourself, graphical modifications should not cause any trouble, but I would highly recommend not to run this mod on total conversions like Endsieg or Black Ice. But as I said before, you’ll have to figure out what works for you.

5. Will you change the background of the portraits?
Why should I?! If you don’t like it you can create your own leader mod.

6. Some leader portraits are not visible for me, what should I do?
This is a well known issue, but it works for me. Maybe you should switch the game language into english an deactivate all other major mods you have activated.

UPDATE 10.10.2018

This update adds 23 new generals for the german army and 7 new admirals for the german navy,
even Hitler and Himmler are available as field marshals now (of course with very bad leader traits).
The changes shouldn’t cause any troubles with your savegames at all, but if you want to play with the new added leaders, you’ll have to start an new game.
