The Old Era: An Age of History Two Mod - 0.1.12c (Action and Echo)

[PyroitzNestorMakhno 4]

The Old Era

 

Hello,

Im relatively new to the modding community here, but I have been working on a project... actually more of a fever dream.

That project is The Old Era, a mod which asks the question "What if a mod creator threw a bunch of formable nations on a map and made a story around it?" Im proud to say that the answer to that is something completely nonsensical, but something I hope has a good story and will make people scratch their heads at.

Because of this, i am looking for ideas for country event trees, with more info on the discord:

Mod Download (Sorry for No Events, I had an Issue with the mod. Also the link works now): Sorry for the lack of Hype, my scenario isn't showing up and I need to fix that.

Discord: https://discord.gg/E7ZNZQQEPJ

Currently, Action and Echo is 75% complete.

WEEKLY UPDATE

Today, I started working on events for Europe's dominant power, the Großdeutscher Bund.

 

The Bund will consist of 7 component states in an alliance: The Deutches Kaiserreich, led by the Militaristic Fredrick III von Hohenzollen, is the current leader of the bund, with elections taking place every four years to determine the Leader of the Bund.

 

In the Kaiserreich's event tree, you will be able to lead the Großdeutscher Bund in one of three directions:

1) Federalization, and the proclemation of the Großdeutches Kaiserreich;

2) To the Collapse of the Bund, leading its component states to break away and a bloody German civil war to begin

3) The Status quo can be maintained.

 

The Kaiserreich will also have colonies in Africa and the Middle East, which decisions on the homefront will either lead to their growth and survival - or their collapse.

 

-----------[PROGRESS CHECK FINISHED]-----------

WEEKLY UPDATE:

Not much new this week, just a progress log.

- Started adding leaders to the Großdeutscher Bund and its component states

- Began work on portraits for said leaders (if anyone can provide any help that would be fantastic)

- Continued to work on the events for the Kaiserreich's colonies

Next week, I hope to do more - school is starting to pick up, and with that means I have less time to work. However, I hope that I will be able to continue working, and thanks to all of the people that have joined the discord for the flags and some ideas - that has been a lifesaver.

Nice to see someone still active. Please add Na** Germany to the main scenario.

There will be an Ultranat faction during the collapse of the Bund, but they wont be those guys.

Update to The Mod

[PyroitzNestorMakhno 4]

3/2/2023-5/23/2023

Events:
- Full content until 1985 for the German Federation and Confederation paths
- Russian Historical Path until 1982 added
- Skeleton Content for the German Civil War (all major powers, Hanover, and Bavaria can unify Germany)
- Yockey Post ACW content added until 1984
- Italian Historical path until 1984 added
- Dynamic Collapse of German, British, and Italian Africa added (It's pretty buggy right now, will need a lot more attention, and may not be included in the first release)
- Alternate Content for Byzantium, France, Hungary, Italy, Russia, and Sweden Added in case of German Civil War
- Sweden (Historical Path 1980-1985), France (Historical Path 1980-1985) Russia (Tsarist 1980-1984, Technocommunist 1980-1984, Historical 1982-1984) and Byzantine (Pre-Balkan War 1980-1982) Skeleton Content  added
- Collapse of the Mongol Empire added and Northern Chinese Warlords added
- Dissolution of the Bulgarian Tsardom added (1986)

Music:
- All soundtracks have been added (3/20/2023)
- Music Actually plays (4/1/2023)

Misc:
- Leader Portraits/Pictures added for German, Italian, American, Russian, British, French, Iberian, Byzantine, Bulgarian, Turkish, Swedish (just one, it's hard to find pictures of swedish politicians), and Hungarian Leaders
- Renamed many states and added new states
- Changed the bonuses of some terrain and added some new terrains
- Started working on the title screen
- Got Lore mostly done, but it can change
- Added Leaders for most countries
- Add some ideologies

Sorry for the long delay between updates, I had an issue where the device my project was on stopped working and I had to restart everything. Because of that, apologies for the long delay in updates.

 

I want to release the first version of the mod sometime soon, hopefully within the next month. I've had a lot of things come up recently, including finals and work giving me 30+ hours a week; among other things. It will be done when I feel it is polished, and right now it isn't. Things don't work the way they should sometimes, and since that frustrates me as a player I am endeavoring to make sure things work right 95% of the time, since with the engine and resources provided by AOH2 that is the most you can hope for.

 

Again, sorry for the delays, but with summer rolling around, I should be able to continue this at a much quicker pace.

You are correct; sir. You see... I had a bit of an issue trying to get the mod to work and during the process of trying to make it work, I broke it and could no longer return it to functionality (because the data deleted itself when I tried to reinstall for whatever reason) so I had to restart.

Demo please

[PyroitzNestorMakhno 4]

Hello again. We are back with another status report.

As of Today, everything I want to do with the first release is finished. However, I can't upload the file because my internet is shot and I don't want to use up my data. The cable for the internet should be replaced on Monday, and after that point the mod should have version 0.1.0 released to the forums.
