Sons of War (RUS Gold Mod)

[Zenvaro]

I'm sorry. There were many problems with my studies. Now I'll try to make mod workable.

Excellent! If you would want to add some additional flavour to Ukraine in this timeframe I'm more than happy to help, having written my dissertation on the subject. It's mostly events and unit changes but I've given a lot of thought to it and practically have it all planned (My coding/modding skills have prevented execution of this intent)

Let me know if you're interested and I'll lend a hand on the history front (Commanders/events/decisions/units) for Ukraine!


P.S. If its' at all possible to make Wrangel playable in the Polish campaign that would be a (hopefully quick) addition to the game

[Zenvaro]

Now it should work and not infringe copyright

But it is 1,3G!

I have downloaded the new mod, but I can't play any new game because it always say <<T.ListUnitDefs.Get ListUnitDefs Index out of range (Index/MaxIndex): 2060 1984>>; then it close the game.

Someone know what's goingo no on here?

Thank you

[ERISS]

I don't forget. I must take time to try finding you a solution. Yes it should be even more heavy to download.

Great Mod idea. Is this MOD playable? Thanks.

Does this mod change the regional decisions (the decisions you can make on the map by clicking f7) in any meaningful way? If not, I may have some interesting ideas that you would like that could make be regional decisions more meaningful and impactful.

Yes, there are some changes, but it would be interesting to know about your ideas

Love the mod by the way, just a few ideas:

regional decisions:

- should only be limited to 2 Conscriptions and 2 requisitions for each region during the whole campaign. (prevents spamming of conscription and requisition by players and AI. Makes a war of attrition possible (if you want to fight that way), losses in battle become more meaningful, and manpower becomes a more precious resource.)

- The conscriptions and requisitions should have only have half the value the 2nd time (example. 100 manpower conscripted the 1st time, 50 manpower the 2nd, this makes conscription more realistic by showing that there is less men in the region to conscript due to previous conscription. Same rules apply to requisitions. Should prevent conscription or requisition the 3rd time.)

- conscripting and requisitioning should take a larger loyalty hit it does now. Currently, players and AI can spam conscription and requisition without much loyalty loss. (why would people continue to support a side that requisitioned their property and forced conscription on their family?)

- I feel as though reforms for regions when playing as the eastern whites should cost more engagement points. I'm currently having no problem with the amount of engagement points and I feel that you should slightly lower the amount of regions you can do reforms at the same time when playing as the eastern whites.

More Ideas in general:

- Partial mobilization (in the mobilizations tab by clicking f3) should be limited to about 8 uses, then have the option gone forever. A person or AI can use that decision every turn for a long time. (and the AI typically does.)

- In general I feel as though manpower should be harder to acquire (as you can tell by some of my ideas above), this helps make battles more decisive and losses more important.

- These ideas (if added) should be equally applied to both the player(s) and the AI. (adding these rules to the AI helps makes things fair if someone wants to only play Singleplayer.)

P.S. - I'm not even sure some of these ideas could even be changed in the game, but if they could that would be great. Let me know what you think of my ideas.

@ Zenvaro:

Спасибо за ваш отличный мод.. What are the rules to place small and large Airfields? Thanks.

[Zenvaro]

A big update is coming soon. Everything is ready, but I need some time for tests.
What's new:
-Some of cities have been deleted, but maaaany cities have been added. In this case, I used data on which settlements had the status of a city at the time of the events.
-Many new Railroads and some changes in old. Here I used the map of the real railroads in Russian Empire
-There are much more cities with some special structures like military factories, barracks. military schools...etc (tried to make it historical, or logical too)
-I deleted some of unknown commanders, or the commanders, that were only the staffers, or some another cause. But more than 100 commanders were added to whites and reds. Now I hope there will be enough:)
-Redesigned initial troop location for all three scenaries.
-Some new events.
-A couple of a new option like the ability to create the Directory as an option for the Eastern Whites and to send 100 money to the another ally to both of whites.
-Changes in region decisions.
-Fixes of some bugs.

[ERISS]

- the ability to send 100 money to the another ally to both of whites

It feels weird to me, for competiton and corruption reasons.
. I think competition between whites could be softened if the Komoutch is still alive, trying to be a proxy government for both whites where they can met in a 'neutral' area.
. About corruption, there were old posts somewhere (it is not simulated in this game).

So, to send 100 to the ally you have to send like 500 (the missing 400 is due to corruption and cross-purpose of the whites).

@ Zenvaro: : When do you plan to release your Big Update? Спасибо.

Thank you for the idea. Made 150. I think 500 is too many. A half of the sum is enough.

@ Zenvaro: : When do you plan to release your Big Update? Спасибо.

It's hard to say. When I'm testing, I find some bugs, or change some features. By the way sometimes new ideas come to mind. For example now I'm making the update of subfactions of cossacks. There will be such subfactions like Terek cossacks, Kuban cossacks, Ural cossacks, Orenburg cossacks, Semirechie cossacks, Siberian cossacks, Zabaikal cossacks. Also, There will be Khiva Khanate, Bukhara Emirate and Bashkirs. The cossack subfactions will be ued by the new faction Cossacks. This is the faction of the cossacks that fight for independence from the united Russia. Their influence will rise, when the Whites choose Dictature way. Khiva and Bukhara subfactions will be under control of the new faction Basmachi (Their forces will consist of the Bukhara Emir, Khiva Khan and all the greens in the Caspian ). Bashkirs will fight for Whites, for Reds or for Independence (it depends on the decisions of the reds and the whites).

@ Zenvaro:; Thanks for making this game better and I look forward to your next Update.

[Zenvaro]

A new version of the mod has been released. It’s quite difficult to describe innovations in detail, because for several months I did a whole bunch of new things that came to my mind. Here is a list of the biggest changes:

1. Updated map: Many new cities and buildings in them.

2. The railway network has been greatly supplemented in accordance with historical realities.

3. Added many new commanders to both factions of white and red.

4. The Basmachi faction has been added, which instead of the greens will represent power at the Asian Theater.

5. A Cossack faction has been added, which will represent the separatist movement and raise uprisings similarly to the green ones in the Cossack regions in case of reduced loyalty.

6. Cossacks are now divided into sub-factions and each sub-faction has unique units and commanders.

7. A more flexible political system for the Whites of the East. Now, by decision, you can go to the Directory.

8. Reforms and repressions now give 2 times less loyalty than they take away requisition and mobilization.

9. New events.

10. New options.

11. The new system of units. Now units of a new type are available in a new order:

For the Reds: in July 1919, in January 1921.

For whites of the east: after the arrival of Kolchak, after the assassination of Kolchak.

For whites of the South: January 19th, after leaving or killing Denikin.

At the same time, units of the old type are gradually removed. The units of the new type are slightly stronger than the old ones, but in general, the changes reflect a change in the military uniform.


For the future, an even larger campaign is planned (from the 1917th year).

Look forward your opinion about update

Look forward your opinion about update

It looks very nice work. (sorry not being much implied, I was sold bad hardware and lost many files, and this selling shop where I used to go then disappered, I think they knew they were selling their bad stuff before (not telling) closing)

[picaron]

I have installed the mod and it doesn't work, it throws me to the desktop.



Fixed problem, you have to unzip the mod in the main folder by crushing the original files if necessary, it is recommended to copy the files.

[Zenvaro]

Here you have the updated mod of units that I made in your day in case it works for your mod (Здесь у вас есть обновленный мод юнитов, которые я сделал в ваш день, если он работает для вашего мода)

Wow! picaron, these models are great! I had biiig problems with new pics because it's really not in my wheelhouse. But your pics are very beautiful! But there is one problem... Not all files from the "Land Units" folder have an analog in other folders (lad armies ad land portrets). Can we do something with this?

[picaron]

You're right, give me time and I will, except the cavalry.

Thank you for playing:) There will be future updates with fixing some bugs and better graphics by comrade picaron:)

[Hero989]

@ Zenvaro:; I look forward to your next Update. Any specifics on your 1917 Campaign?

[Terka]

Unfortunately doesn't work for me.
Game bugs out once you select "New Game" and crashes with infinite error messages once you select a scenario) all other buttons simply don't work).
Could it be a Win10 problem?

[delcastel]

après l'installation du mod j'ai un CDT . Comment faut il l'installé ?
