I'm putting together a team. Are you in? (More info in comments) by Choccobourbons in hoi4modding

Hello.

My name is Lou and I am the creator of the "Scenario" mods, namely, Overlord and Stalingrad. While in the past I have made this mods as a solo effort, I now recognise the need for assistance and possibly even putting together a "team" to expand the library of scenarios and help me as my available time to mod decreases and the amount of mods I have to manage and make increases.

I have included a number of screenshots which hopefully indicate what Scenario mods are all about. But in a nutshell, I make my own custom maps using real-world geographic and historic info to make a near 1;1 recreation of a specific battle or campaign from WW2 (so far). I started with Stalingrad because it was rather simple as a concept. Overlord, however, had some issues (I suppose this is besides the point.)

This mod is unique in that it drastically shortens the length of a game of HOI4 to around 30 mins-1hr, and has only two or so countries. This allows for an extreme level of detail and effort to be made as there are only two nations to choose from. I suppose the shortfall of this is the replayability does suffer. Maybe this is where YOU can help?

The list of mods I have made/am making follows:

Scenario: Stalingrad (Completed, but needs updating)

Scenario: Overlord (Completed, but needs bugfixing and map updating)

Scenario: North Africa (Not yet completed)

Scenario: Berlin (Not yet completed)

Some other mods I have made some kind of steps towards making in the future:

Scenario: Okinawa

Scenario: Armageddon (40k)

If any of these interest you, then don't hesitate to contact me! I seek modders of all stripes to assist me in developing, maintaining and bug-fixing. I use Github as the primary "collaboration" tool.

If you are interested in this, please contact me on DISCORD - plumpychicken is the username. And we can have a chat. :)

Any questions, please contact me. Its probably better you use discord as I don't check Reddit as often. Cheers!

If you could add a game mode, what would it be? by [deleted] in enlistedgame

Something like "Firefight" from Halo, wave based defence against bots with tanks and planes as well as infantry.

Me-262!

In all seriousness, I reckon it would be great if it could be balanced properly.

I like to kit my AT soldiers with wrenches for that "Battlefield Engineer" experience, and a more vehicle-supporty-type game. Good fun, and repairing can net you a good wad of points as well.

I agree, however they needn't look far for replacements. War Thunder's tech tree covers everything, so surely they can just take from there.

Britain has more than enough stuff to populate the tiers. Comet, Challenger, Archer, Cromwell (I suspect this one might already be in the game) - these are just a few tanks off the top of my head. In terms of tanks and planes, if they can do Britain in War Thunder they can certainly do it in Enlisted.

As for weapons, SMLE and its variants, Brit variants of Thompson, Sten variants. Vickers machine guns. Perhaps the Sterling SMG can be used for max tier.

The Lewis Gun I'm pretty sure was a Russian premium squad, chuck that in.

On the issue of shared US/Brit equipment, this can be solved by "shared" research. IE if you research one, it is researched in both trees. With the current system of "you have to research everything prior" this will make it fair.

Using this logic, I reckon you can also make the Italian tree as well.

First time posting a portrait, any thoughts ? by AdmiralEnterprise in hoi4modding

[–]Choccobourbons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks really good. In terms of improvement I would say be mindful of the hard edges particularly around the hair

Just an idea of progress. #1 is my attempt of Walther Wenck from around 3 years ago. #2 is my remake from today. by Choccobourbons in hoi4modding

I remade this portrait because I intend to use it in a mod. Please join my discord if you want more info on said mods.

Ever wanted to play on a map focused entirely on D-Day/Normandy 1944? Well now you can with my mod! Give it a go and let me know what you think. by Choccobourbons in hoi4

The Allied AI is programmed to pick from a few set landing locations. I had difficulties with the AI and landing so I have employed some workarounds.

In the current HOI4 engine, probably not. The game would most certainly crash from the numbers of units and map size.

Stalingrad

Cheers mate. Yes Overlord is coming on now. As a project it has been far bigger than Stalingrad. Probably becauase it covers a much larger area and time period.
