The Federation Wars

Description
The Federation Wars are upon us!
Many new and interesting nations dot the landscape. Foreveriana gathers it's Knights in the Northeast while the Red Hoods gather their legions on the West Coast. Harvest prepares its economy for another war while South America is embroiled in colonialist expeditions. All this while the Old World catches fire from German, English, French, Japanese, and Russian meddling. New alliances shall be formed, old ones will break, and new enemies will be found. Who shall you be in this new and ever-changing landscape?

Looking for Patch Notes? I had to switch their location since the description got too long! Look in change notes tab near the mod image!

I'd like to take this chance to thank my friends that have helped me along with ideas and decisions surrounding the mod and mental health.

Thank you Redwagone for helping me take time off once in awhile and reaffirming decisions that by myself, I would've never been able to decide on.

Thank you Uber and his friend Jesus (Steam not Christianity) for your help in donating your "For Honor" characters and allowing me to use them for portraits along with Red's and my owns.

Thank you Bobby, Aidzor, and CammyWammy for letting me create nations around you guys (Even if ya don't play the mod too much, or at all).

Thank you to Crine for giving me great nights and fun times to relax in between my job, classes, and mod work.

Additionally, we have started a universe-size project for the "Past-Present-Future." You can find us at the links below under "Dread Universe Roleplay" as we now have a functioning Tabletop Game (Rules and Factions), a BETA format for a D&D inspired game, and more work/expansions planned for all 3 of the major projects!

Finally, thank you, the player who actively chose to give my work a chance even if it looks a bit rocky! It means a ton to see people enjoy something I've created.

Hi, I'm going through a huge point in my life and as such, can no longer guarantee any updates on this mod. This isn't to say the mod is dead in any way but it is certainly in hiatus. I may grab some nations in this and port them to smaller mods that work with the basegame nations but as for now, I need a long break from things.

I know it has certainly been a long time but I do want to say I am still working on this mod. A large project has merged with this dubbed the "Dread Universe Roleplay." We now have an official twitter, youtube, and patreon where you can actually purchase the rules and factions to a tabletop game created by me along with the BETA to a D&D style game as well. Links below and in the description.

So, after many months of consideration, mixes of lost and gained effort, rewrites, and more...I decided to move the mod to a lower level in order for me to be able to maintain it. It will just focus on new nations in the Americas and the Mountain Holds in Asia. With this, some new focus lines were added to some nations. As always, thank you for playing the Federation Wars!

Good news everyone! I've been working on a major update in my free time. So far I'm adding something like 23ish nations with everything but focus trees made for them and done as uniquely as possible. Flags take the longest time since I do now receive portrait help from a good Friend and his mate on getting the base images down. Focus trees take about 1-2 days for me, unsure how many I'll have with trees this major update (It's been dubbed the "Reforged Update") but I'll try for a minimum of 3 with the reworking of two current nation's focus trees to add COLONIZATION as a function into the mod.

This should finish off (for the current time) the world of the mod. I will be keeping some Asian nations like Japan/China and Spain (because I like Spain's civil war mechanics) for the foreseeable future but I should also be optimizing their trees to work in the mod. I'm currently aiming for a near Thanksgiving release date. As always, thank you for playing the Federation Wars!

I've reneged and reconsidered. I have written plan to finish modding Europe and readd all that is lost through the several backups I've stored. Expect more work to be done but uh, still gotta learn some things so don't mind a more or less rough state of affairs going forwards. As always, thank you for playing the Federation Wars!

Soon, I shall conquer the world.

I will add plane technology in the next minor update when I have time, likely over mid-semester break because this whole thing mentally destroyed me. Oh, and btw it was fixed by deleting the "defines" folder that contained the .lua files in the common folder. As always, thank you for playing the Federation Wars!

After "By Blood Alone" many mods are experiencing major crashes that are currently unsolvable. I'm going to do my best to fix it but for me, a self-taught modder who frankly has lost his sanity in the last twelve hours, is unlikely to be able to do so solo. I'm mostly hopping somebody else finds the solution.

I'm also swapping from modding seriously to casually so nation numbers are being reduced and updates won't be as frequent. Mostly North and South America with a few stable nations around the globe.

Regrettably "By Blood Alone" has wrought chaos upon my entire function. I'm going to decide tomorrow whether or not to again reduce the mod purely back to the stability of some sort or to slam my head through this clear brick wall constructed in front of me. Mountain Holds, North America, South America, and Uesugi/Men of the Major have proven the most stable up until this point so I may revert to that. Worst case scenario, I'll just purely work on that region since it generally sees the least amount of heavy changes and I can handle it by myself. I hate loosing all the focus trees and everything I've worked on for a second time but its proving incredibly difficult to do anything else.
