[HoI4 MOD Development] Creating Crisis of the Empire! #0 (English Version)
"Crisis of the Empire" is a major mod that transforms the world of HoI4 into the 19th century!
The starting year is changed to 1820, allowing players to experience an alternate history in post-Napoleonic Europe, with a particular focus on the Balkans and the Middle East.
- "What if the Ottoman Empire won the Greek War of Independence?"
- "What if the Ottoman Empire defeated Muhammad Ali?"
This mod aims to provide players with the opportunity to explore such "what-if" scenarios and reshape history!
Current Progress
The development of this mod has just begun, and we are currently working on map data creation, though it has proven to be quite challenging. Our plan is to expand the vanilla map, introducing new nations and states while maintaining balance.
In the future, we aim to include the following features:
- A complete overhaul of the political, technological, and military balance as of 1820
- New national events and decisions
- Additional 19th-century military units (flintlock riflemen, sailing fleets, etc.)
- A system to recreate major wars and revolutions from history
Looking for Team Members!
Currently, I am working on this mod alone.
I am looking for fellow modders to join the development team!
