Kirk Kerman in flag thread IV suggested making an official AH.com mod for Heart of Iron. Although I assume it meant having members contributing alternate flags, it occurred to me that an AH.com mod could be instead one that try and fit in as many AH tropes (in the loosest sense) as possible. For example:
- being able to pick common AH countries like Deseret, the CSA and the Republic of Quebec. No matter how many would be included, it would be assumed that their existence is butterfly free to allow the rest of the world to proceed as normal.
- Extra factions. could be otherworldly ones like aliens or faeries or something earth-bound like the Technocracy
- Mirror universe incursion. would be a random event whereby individuals, units or event part of land from a mirror universe appears in our own. This means that 2 opposing side could have the same commanders though one would be evil and sporting a goatee obviously.
- Airships. 'nuff said.
Another possibility is in term of starting scenarios:
- Germany wins. the idea here is that no matter what, germany would win the war. Sealion would work, the wonder weapon would be created in time and used, etc.... The point then for the player (who could only pick a set list of countries) is simply for his country to end the war still independent with bonus points for some other goals like maintaining a few trading partners.
- Balkanized North America. An even worst depression leads to civil war in the US and a domino effects means the same in Canada and mexico. At the beginning of 1939, you thus have a few dozens countries with various allegiance or claims of neutrality in North America
Thoughts ?
