Europe Only (broken)
Hello! This mod removes most of the countries outside the continent of Europe. If you want to concentrate on European theater of the war without Asian or South American countries slowing down or distracting you, you might want to check it out.
The mod has at least two main goals: one is to significantly increase performance and the other is to focus on Europe. The last meaning adding more flavour to the continent and bordering areas. The rest of the world is going to express itself through global events.
For now, game balance is the main concern. Lots of tweaks, buffs and nerfs will have to be done in order to ensure balanced game with no overpowered or uplayable states.
Q: Description says that mod focuses on European theater, but there are African, Asian and American states, why so?
A: Mediterranean Sea may be extremely important for European theater and North Africa is to the South of the region. It has valuable ports to plan invasions, airports to secure air superiority and resources to produce equipment. Leaving huge colonian holdings far from Europe is contradicting mod’s idea far more than relocating some of colonial resources to African and Asian states. Egypt has chromium and tungsten, Abu Dhabi has rubber, Eritrea has eveything in lesser amounts.
Iraq, despite not having access to Mediterranean and being pretty far from Europe, is still in the game. First of all, it’s one of the only independent powers in the Middle East. Secondly, it lays on a pathway to Abu-Dhabi, in case Axis want to make sure UK isn’t getting those resources.
Tannu Tuva is a small nation, letting it exist wouldn’t have a noticeable effect of performance and later it will be integrated into USSR.
I don’t think it was a bad idea to leave USA either, its contribution to WW2 could be decisive. For purpuses of land-lease, Soviet Union is not shrank to its European territories.
Mexico is having a new focus tree added in the next update, Venezuela is a significant exporter of oil, just like Cuba is of chromium and Canada is the only remaining UK’s dominion.
Q: There’s no Japan, wouldn’t it make US really weak?
A: Yes, while there is an event for world tension to increase by 10 around 7th of July in 1937, war support events for US are still being developed. This, as mentioned above is a subject to many tweaks in close future.
Q: You added colonial resources for UK and Fracne, but why not Netherlands?
A: Right now I’m not sure where to put them. Their closest colony is simply too far away and relocating them into Europe would make Reich too powerful after the nation is occupied. I’m yet to figure it out.
Q: With most of the world missing, wouldn’t some focuses become useless?
A: Yes of course. I removed some of them and slightly changed others.
As you can see, the mod is at a very early development, most of the content is still to be added. With that said, I’d want you to help me out if you want to see new focus trees, portraits, countires and all such stuff.
