So for now, maybe it's best to have a warm-up and think about something like Tech Tree Extension Project because that's one element that is surely required? Ideally, it would compress (visually) the trees that are already in the game and add later-game branches that would be compatible in the amount of detail with the core game (so that the 1936-1992 tree doesn't become a multi-page monstrosity). Become a member of the Triple Entente or of the Central Powers and help your side in the Great War. I suppose the game would need a couple of patches anyway to arrive at semi-historical outcomes of WW2 so at first the mod could concentrate on 1945 scenario only, with no option of 1936-1992 playthrough. Start in 1910 with one of the Major Countries of this time and fight through the series of events that lead the world in the first bloodest confict: the First World War. And the war resolutions events is not a first-priority thing. The mod would surely need a new tech/focus tree and end of war event chains but they would have to be completely different from what HoI2/DH had. And it may be a good thing because they added some flavor for the cost of tons of work. A lot of material (database for ministers, leaders, election events) would be redundant. Realistically speaking I don't think I'll be doing full HoI4 port of NWO anytime soon, neither as another one-man task or say, lead developer, to initiate some bigger project.įrom what I already gathered, there's not really much to 'port' to the new game.
