THIS MOD IS NOW DISCONTINUED, rebranded and reuploaded as "Expanded Plus". It covers the same content (and more), but changes the focus of the mod as a whole.

@TheCharmanderGod, Ill add it to the list but I wont guarentee that Sofia/Pirin will be added, and while I havent looked into the Macedonian issue too much (besides the naming issue), I do wonder if just a claim is better, and also there are potentially balance issues with doing so (just like giving Germany cores on the Sudetenland in 1936, rather than through its focus). Ill add it to the list (on a mid-tier priority probably), and do some research etc before adding.

@General Stefen, It is certainly an area Ive heard of a lot, but it is very small. I may consider it, but Im also rebranding (and rereleasing) this mod soon, so its focus wont be on the states (though they will remain).

@Electrohuila, Id rather not give any kind of date because my work on this can be rather soradic, but there isnt much left until it can be releasable (even if not up to my preferred standards). Just some fixing up of the states for the new impassable features and new strategic regions. Unfortunately the nudge tool can get a slight bit buggy for this so it can be slower than wanted (but still more interesting that dealing with 62 different releasables for UK and 2-3 events each.. but thats done now)

Hey in the balkans could you maybe split sofia into sofia and pirin? Greece (and either yugo or a releasable macedonia) would have cores on it. Likewise the yugo's macedonia state should be cored by Greece and Bulgaria. This is because of the fact that those states were given after the balkan wars and during WWII (and even today) there was serious disagreement on how land was divied out.

how soon is your new mod will be released?
General Stefan 11 Jun, 2017 @ 7:03am 
I do not know if this has been suggested before, but I'd like to come forth with an Idea about the German/Belgian border. The province of Eupen (it's basically the small blob above luxmeburg on the german border) could become it's own state. It was ceded to Belgium from Germany after WW1 and would make sense to include so to orderly re-create the propper pre ww1 borders :) keep up the great work, mate! I am loving this mod! <3

@mehmetkaplan11, As Gamer333221 said, no, definitely not. Millenium Dawn mod already has its own map changes and this mod does more than just change the map. Its meant to be vanilla hoi4 style, just extended. This will be more represented in my re-release coming soon, to lean away from the title of this current mod. (See the forum post i created, if curious)
Bilbo Waggins 6 Jun, 2017 @ 9:55am 
no
mkbashar 6 Jun, 2017 @ 5:29am 
can you use this for millenium dawn?
def name = "Zach"  [author] 19 May, 2017 @ 8:43am 
@SMERSh, I dont know. I dont use any. Just search for them on the Steam Workshop
SMERSh 19 May, 2017 @ 7:36am 
Which ones?
def name = "Zach"  [author] 19 May, 2017 @ 6:37am 
@SMERSh, I dont know how to at the moment, but there are mods out there that do similar things, so check em out. I havent touched anything with leaders yet
SMERSh 19 May, 2017 @ 6:26am 
How could I do that? Could you explain?
def name = "Zach"  [author] 19 May, 2017 @ 5:19am 
@SMERSh, Thats not really under the scope of this mod.. Cambodia exists in the vanilla game now, so you can just add a photo of its leader and release the country if you want?
SMERSh 18 May, 2017 @ 9:11am 
I would like to play Cambodia with Pol Pot and a good black and white portrait of him. Could be possible?
Bilbo Waggins 12 May, 2017 @ 6:00am 
😉
Bilbo Waggins 12 May, 2017 @ 5:59am 
No probs
def name = "Zach"  [author] 12 May, 2017 @ 1:21am 
@Duck, Ive not used that mod but it changes the map so its a lot of work there. Im already going to have to update to the upcoming 1.4 patch which adds impassable regions.

@GMV, Hatay yes, Öland probably not, Eupen probably.

@Explodedgames, nope, but with the TFV dlc, you can choose at what puppet level the Yugoslav states will be in Germanys focus for taking it over (if you dont just annex it all).

@HeadHusky, That sounds exactly like a mod conflict.. I cant say this mod is good with too many others since it changes the map and changes some events/focuses.
Thanks @Gamer333221 for helping out here ^^

@john doe, I thought Id just use the modern names for the states. Released nations can call themselves what they like.
def name = "Zach"  [author] 12 May, 2017 @ 1:21am 
@scrublord, Yes, its difficult to do so, but I do feel like its easier with this mod than without. Im not keen on splitting up the small area of Montenegro so much more just to satisfy minor historical divisions but there is still some work to be done in the Balkans before Im fully satisfied

@iagordito, Hatay, between Turkey and Syria is definitely going on my list of future changes! If i ever put in a LOT more work into this mod again, then maybe an exchange of that can occur in a focus where UK sides with Turkey instead of Greece. Maybe..

@Hazellius, Highly HIGHLY unlikely. I already dont really work on this mod as is, and its a huge amount of work to combine two mods that change the map and then to get the MD events to fit with the new changes too. The MD developers wont be interested in doing so and Im too busy to do so (though I do enjoy playing that mod ^^)

Bilbo Waggins 1 May, 2017 @ 3:25pm 
mods that have to do with adding countries or edit states
HeadHusky 1 May, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
Do you know which mods might conflict with this one?
Bilbo Waggins 1 May, 2017 @ 3:19pm 
you have other mods activated
HeadHusky 1 May, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
I have a little glitch: Ostpreussen(Germany) and Sinai(Egypt) doesn't have anyone controlling these territories. How do I fix this?
Bilbo Waggins 28 Apr, 2017 @ 10:21am 
No
EL 28 Apr, 2017 @ 9:54am 
do i need any dlc for this?
Generalis 13 Apr, 2017 @ 3:27am 
Hatay, Öland, Eupen
Bilbo Waggins 25 Mar, 2017 @ 2:20am 
so sad
Kim Jong Moon 25 Mar, 2017 @ 2:19am 
...Please?
Kim Jong Moon 20 Mar, 2017 @ 10:54am 
Could you please give some feedback?
76561198210564275 17 Mar, 2017 @ 9:39am 
i agree with duck please do something with the no mans land mod
Duck 16 Mar, 2017 @ 1:30pm 
Any chance of a No Mans Land compatible version? Great mod fixes ugly vanilla borders.
Bilbo Waggins 11 Mar, 2017 @ 12:19am 
@Hazellius I +1 that
Bilbo Waggins 11 Mar, 2017 @ 12:19am 
did you activate it?
That's kind of an important part.
JustBeRyan 10 Mar, 2017 @ 12:39pm 
it doesnt work for me
Hazellius 9 Mar, 2017 @ 10:17pm 
Any chance a future version could add compatiability for the Millenium Dawn mod? :)
Kim Jong Moon 5 Mar, 2017 @ 12:46pm 
Could also Hatay be added?
scrublord 2014 4 Mar, 2017 @ 7:43pm 
Looks very nice as a whole, and I like many of the ideas / was working on them myself. My only major comment is that historical occupation of Yugoslavia is impossible to model with the borders you have presented - specifically Split, Rijeka, Ras (and other Croatian islands) going to Italy, Slovenia being split between Hungarian, German & Italian occupation zones, and the funny looking annexations of Montenegro, Pristina, etc. between Italy and Bulgaria.

Thanks for the inspiration though
def name = "Zach"  [author] 3 Mar, 2017 @ 7:37am 
@iagordito, I have actually done some updates since the last release, though I must admit there arent any new states again, just event stuff.
Confirmed completed:
- German focus 'Befriend Poland' now removes German claims to its old territories if it had taken the focus 'Eastern Claims' before this.
- First Ljubljana Award: Options for giving its neighbours territories from Yugoslavia
- Fate of Yugoslavia: Will never be FORCED to concede if Yugoslavia is a player
- Fate of Yugoslavia: Options for Yugoslav, Croat, Serb and others control of different regions

I still have a big list of states to add, as well as wanting to give the same treatment to the Greek line in Germanys focus tree, and other events too.

I have also been working on a separate mod that adds a lot of (mostly modern) nations, designed for this mod. Its nearing release quality, but it may mean a lot more work to update both existing mods
Kim Jong Moon 3 Mar, 2017 @ 6:42am 
Hey, Zach how are you doing? What are you working at for the next update?
GBer15 23 Feb, 2017 @ 2:19pm 
Thanks for your reply, but I learned that the demilitarization goes away once troops are moved to the region.
def name = "Zach"  [author] 22 Feb, 2017 @ 8:38pm 
@Gubra Lagima, I wouldnt mind and itd only require an easy compatability mod (just have to make sure it overrides this one). I have actually started a similar project but its only in early stages and the largest work is the flags
Kim Jong Moon 22 Feb, 2017 @ 6:13am 
I agree with gubra lagima
T_Rex_Patriarch 22 Feb, 2017 @ 5:16am 
Ok, thanks .
Gubra Lagima 22 Feb, 2017 @ 2:29am 
Have you ever considered doing a collab with a more nations mod? This is one of my favorite mods but it would be extra fantastic if it had more emergent nations
def name = "Zach"  [author] 21 Feb, 2017 @ 9:42pm 
@TRex_Patriarch, Id like to but those countries would need to be added to the game first. I do actually expect some of them to be added to the base game in the future, due to how PDS have been adding more slowly. In a future update, I may add them anyway but its not a high priority
T_Rex_Patriarch 21 Feb, 2017 @ 11:23am 
Can you add core in the colonies in Africa? From algeria, cameroun, polisario, morocco and others.
Obito 21 Feb, 2017 @ 10:34am 
ok
def name = "Zach"  [author] 21 Feb, 2017 @ 6:09am 
@Vetrix_exe, another mod conflict, overriding the file: 'history/countries/GER - Germany.txt'
