I've been planning to update the states at least, but I've been slacking on it...so I'll get it eventually.

Ok I haven't looked at this in yonks sorry (my last comment was in late 2021 and tbh I don't think I've done any work since 2022 on it.
Sooo re: a few things

- atm as you can probably guess it is very much on hold and will continue to be so for the time being. Partially because of work burning me out, but also because in my rush to finish my degree(s) I've piled up the uni work a lot. I would like to come back to it eventually, though large parts will have to be done from scratch as the updates have now severely broken it
- @Trapezoid, Re: Lots of focuses not having effects: yes thats intentional, I have notes written down for all the intended effects but I wanted to get an idea of the completed tree before spending ages putting in the code
- Re: millenium dawn, in general I like having control over my projects and don't want to tie it another mod, especially when apart from the time period setting they don't have much overlap re: intended goals.

I'd suggest just making a submod for MD or Novum Vexillium for this tbh

ive went back to 1.10.5 for the mod but alot of the focuses have no effects, is this suppose to happen?

Honestly, the content is minimal so far. There's only two devs, and neither of us have much time to work on the mod. As a result, not only is there minimal content, but all these new patches broke a LOT of stuff.

I begin to image an army composes of 20000 misaka imouto, a technology tree which include railgun and imouto's rifles.

What version is this currently recommended for? no dlc after no step back?

Once I get the time and motivation, I'll get to work on trying to get this working for the new patch. Cause right now, the states have bcome a MESS.

pls update it (´ω`) i wanna play this mod

Oh wait sorry made a mistake there battle for the Bosphorus came out months ago, meant whatever the new Russian dlc is

Ok (mostly) kidding. Tbh mostly I just got bogged down with my actual job + uni and there's zero chance of that changing in the next few weeks since my final exam is on the 2nd of November.
I will try(tm) to get back into it when battle for the bosphorous comes out (because god updating it is a pain with each major update) I do genuinely enjoy modding but yeah I get little free time at the moment and I mostly lean towards activities that let my brain shut off entirely....

So to answer your question... indefinite hiatus with the hope that I'll get back to it. Sorry I know whenever I respond to these questions my answer is essentially *busy but going to get back into it* and that is still the intent. But hey brief life update, starting management at work which ironically might mean I get a more generous work schedule that won't leave me catatonic and might have enough energy to work on this some more?

Oh yeah I'm timing the updates to match the shows release schedule

Yo this mod is taking inspiration from the show's wait times on seasons I see.

Jokes aside I have to ask is this mod dead? just gotta ask since it's been 8 months since the last update

Хороший мод , жалко только не доделаный. А так буду следить за обновами.

Do you know if you will implement the dark side organisation battle before WW3 happens, and that you will be able to influence a dark side organisation for gaining more power or surviving, so it can alter Academy Cities position?

@ggshark Thanks :) I might take you up on that offer when I restart development (again)

@Sentient Mop: Thanks, yeah partially haven't done much just because I'm lazy, but also been busier this year than I had planned to be (currently in bed sick because I pushed myself too hard with uni and work, but just got to get through this one essay and then I'm free (It's due in 2.5 hours and I can't even get up to use my computer, so stuck on my ageing laptop))

Or playtesting for that matter

Subbed, waiting for new surprises - if you need flavor text, just give me a shout at Spacebattles.com

A Certain Norwegian Terrorist

We're with you all the way you deal with your life the mod comes second

But it would be nice to see Misaka's rival as a 3D model

So re: Misaki, I haven't decided yet. She's not really useful as a division unit like Misaka or Accelerator. Thinking I might make her a political advisor? Or national spirit at the moment (Will think about the clique divisions, but leaning towards a recruitable manpower factor atm)

As for Kihara Gensei. So I actually had no idea who he was when I started this mod, but thinking he will help me neatly round out the academy city focus tree as its final sub-branch.

Oh and @big steve, re: the chinese leader, yes that is the plan, I'm largely neglecting countries that I'm not working on atm though because it would take a while to go through every nation and give them some kind of generic leader. But yes I am going to get to that.

Oh and general update. So original plan was to have it done by the end of Railgun T.... hah... nvm that. But finally finished the most gruelling part of my course and on paid leave atm because I needed a break from work so might put some more time into this.

And maybe it would be interesting to add a focus to get Kihara Gensei, or another Kihara as leader, for Academy City.

How will Shokuhou Misaki be represented in this game? Will she be present as a focus about Tokiwadai, will she be a division on her own, will she have unique clique divisions, will she be a general or will she be implemented as a national spirit?

can we get a custom chinese leader because it kinda threw me off to see anime anime mao zedong anime anime animeputin

I am really hyped for this mod of my favourite series!

also, music is a lot more important than it may seem, it sets the mood, and if the music is not able to set the mood and give like an intense feeling during war while seeming somewhat calm during peace(unless your nation is in a crisis or something) then the player may find a mod/game that is incredible in everything but has no music synced to the events in the game to be boring.

@SFF535111 a mesh is just textures for an object in the game, part of the textures anyway, it is a bit difficult to explain in a way that someone with likely little to no experience in game development could easily understand.

you'd do best using placeholders to test any mechanics(maybe check to see if there are any weird graphical glitches, such as maybe if it is a unit, going under the area where the game takes place a bit, causing it to look like the unit is in the ground) but don't use placeholders for the version people will be playing, not unless what you are adding will be a key mechanic to the mod that you can not wait for the actual models to be done to add.

good luck on your exams! and could you when you do develop a british & Hong Kong mod put a link on here so everyone can find it?
and as for drawing, that im pretty good at, never tried 3d modeling, but if you can convert drawing to 2d and then 2d to 3d, then i can draw some sketches of what it is you need and send them to you.

(Other problem is that I clearly should be developing a british & Hong Kong mod since I'm constantly getting distracted and fiddling with those 2 instead. (For whatever reason I spent 5 hours modelling the House of Commons (similair to US politics system in MTG) for no other reason than it looked cool)

Oh yeah... probably should update it (I have a working version for 1.9.3 but its on my desktop and I'm currently spending 90% of my time at a library studying for exams. Re: the main charachters. So all 3 are currently represented to some extent (with different version of accelerator depending on which path you take) the eventual plan is to add them as actual units that you can get 1 of (I did some quick testing with accelerator and it did work, though needs balancing. The main problem is I can barely draw, let alone do acceptable 3d modelling so its taking a while to actually add them (Though my drawing tablet did finally arrive the other day, my desk is getting very cramped)

(re: the models, I do have a 3d model of misaka done, all it needs is more to recieve some more detail, colours, and actually be uploaded into the game. Until then, torn over whether to use a placeholder or just hold off on adding it)

can't wait for it to be updated for 1.9.3! I'm a HUGE fan of the To Aru series. Also, is there anything to do specifically with the main characters of the 3 series?(Touma, Index, Mikoto, and Accelerator)

Whats a mesh

(Nods in relief)

Weak pulse detected?

(checks for pulse)

As a fan of toaru series and HOI4, I was pleasantly surprised that my favorite animation can be displayed on the stage of HOI4. Happy May Day!:)

(Sry if thats all a bit long and I repeated myself a bit, tend to try to explain things in full but then also waste peoples time by not being hugely concise and making them read a short paragraph to explain something I could say in 2 sentences..)

Np, though at the same time I am somewhat lazy, and currently a full time student + 30 hour work week + ... actually that's it, bit lazy + busy schedule, so might take a while.

If I can finish up my assignments that are due on Sunday though I should be able to get it to where I'm happy enough to update it by the end of this week or next, and planning on buying a graphics tablet once the shops are open so might finally be able to finish my model for Misaka.

Plan is still to have the Vatican, Academy City, Britain, and either Russia or France finished by the time Railgun T ends, so, 91+ days depending on the mid season hiatus + any more delays to the show due to coronavirus.

Ok thanks so much for responding, this is such a cool mod and didn't want to get my hopes up waiting for an update that would never come. Glad to know that isn't the case

@Sentient Mop

Not really? Still working on it. Just been lazy because I was self isolating at a friends house and essentially had my desktop in a little corner, and it was hard to get motivated to work when sitting sideaways on a couch without a desk... (that and I'm kinda lazy anyway)

Anyway I do have a stable version of it for LR, planning on updating it once I've finished a couple more features, trying to work the agency system into it atm.

Hate to ask but is the mod dead???

Yeah such as the Girls und Panzer mod on the workshop.

Imagine conquering other countries with Misaka clone army. lmao

(Oh although IK I said I'll add everything at X point. But tbh I don't have a fixed roadmap, I just work on features that I feel like working on at the time (hence why music, largely unimportant as a feature, is in before I've even finished off one focus tree) so things like 3d models could be in before I even start on the vatican)

As for security bots, yeah this is something I definitely want to represent in game, just not sure how to make it work with units atm? (Best guess atm is that I could have a judgement+robots brigade type that has the same manpower but gives it robots as extra equipment to increase its stats, and slightly buff health.)

For level 5 espers, I did test adding in accelerator a couple of weeks ago (basically made academy city start with a 1 manpower division with absurd stats) he ended up holding off the entire Japanese military. It needs balancing but I'm hoping to add it. Also planning on adding a 3d model of the level 1 espers when I can (starting with Misaka) but I'm poor at anything art-related so that'll take a while

@Nishi Kinuyo
So for ideology I've actually started creating custom ones since it's easier to get the right nations to work together, whilst giving them an ideology that fits (also forgot technocracy was an ideology, probably would have used it if I'd remembered)

Re: the satellites. Tree Diagram does exist, but doesn't do anything yet really (apart from being part of a focus that gives an extra research slot. I'll probably add it as a national spirit that gives a decryption buff. As for Hikoboshi II, I can't really see a way to represent it in game, but I will if I can think of a way it'd fit in?

I had to post in separate comments because Steam limits it to 1.000 characters per comment. So begin reading the comment that is posted under (which begins with "I had an idea for you developers...") to the comment above (which begins with "And for ideology...")

And for ideology I find a technocracy best fitting for Academy City.
I hope this comment is for good help for you developers and I wish you developers very much success in making the mod. Thanks in advance for making this great mod.
