This is the place I post the bulk of the info regarding my mods - known issues, ideas, etc.

You can get more regular updates, and Maybe even teasers for future mods (as well as being able to give your Feedback to me directly). I rely heavily on feedback to improve the mod, so please keep it coming!

Disclaimers

- This mod is an attempt to recreate an historical event. As such it depicts historical people, actions and events which may be pretty heinous. As the mod creator I DO NOT endorse any of the extreme ideologies, actions or beliefs that it depicts. The main goal of the mod is to present an authentic scenario of the Berlin Strategic Operation for historical and gameplay purposes.

- The mod has been made by me and my fellow modders. It is an EARLY RELEASE, meaning that, while it works and is playable, it will probably not be too balanced or be unfinished in certain areas!

Overview + Features


Welcome to perhaps the most anticipated and asked-for scenario to date: SCENARIO: BERLIN!

This mod is unique as it puts you in charge of either the Berlin Defence Area or the Red Army (or the Allies SOON) in Northern Germany during the Closing stages of World War II! As such, there are a number of significant gameplay changes from regular HOI4! These are:

- Divisions have now been split into regiments that use less manpower and equipment.

-Some rivers have been converted into 'lakes', with specially designed 'bridges' to cross them. These are key points on the map, so guard them well!

- Movement speed is increased to match the zoomed map. Watch for encirclements!

- Aircraft range is increased. The speed in which they are transferred is also increased.

- Supply centers have had their range increased.

- Focuses are shortened, and the game is designed to last until (roughly) from March 1945 to June 1945.

-Game speed is greatly reduced, allowing you to manage the battle hour by hour (and practically minute by minute)

Other features of this mod include:

-"DIALOGUE EVENTS"! These are still WIP but there are some in there for Germany right now!

-Relatively fleshed out BOPs for both sides!

-Historical railways as per maps of Northern Germany.

-Historical OOBs and leaders for the Oder-Neisse campaign.

-Vanilla decisions and advisors reworked to function in a shorter and smaller map

-Focus trees with both historical and alt-historical Elements.

-'Ending' events, that are my unique take on the Super-Event concept (SOON.)

-A selection of music for Germany and the Allies to enhance immersion, as part of a special radio-player within the mod.

-The map has been designed from the ground up using 1;1 satellite imagery and a range of historical maps.

There are far more victory points than necessary in the City of Berlin (thanks, Bananschke.)

-An extensive repetoire of Soviet and German commanders who played a part in the Berlin campaign.

And lots more - discover for yourself!



Context

In March 1945 the Red Army is at the Gates of Berlin. After the recent Vistula-Oder Offensive the Wehrmacht has been decimated - all that stands in the Soviets way of victory is the Oder. Defending the capital of the Reich are old men, children and depleted fanatics of the Waffen SS and Wehrmacht.

For two months, the Soviets have been preparing their final strike. But Stalin grows impatient. He demands results. And so, the final hammer blow must fall.

Meanwhile Hitler, fuelled by delusion, is hiding in the heart of Berlin - the Führerbunker. Within, he surrounded by his closest allies and the General Staff, he is by now delusional and orders offensives with Forces that only exist on the map.

Will the Soviets break the fanatical resistance of the remainder of the Wehrmacht or will you turn it around in SCENARIO BERLIN?

Suggestions

I don't just accept constructive criticism, I encourage it! As previously mentioned, I have developed this mod on my own. While some selected testers have done quite a bit of testing to purge any issues, I am certain there will be ones they have not yet found. So please let me know what suggestions you have/problems you have found with the balance/etc.


Compatibility

-This is a total overhaul mod, and as such incompatible with basically every other mod.

-I have designed this mod using All DLC, and recommend this for the best experience. I am currently working to make the mode more compatible for players without other DLCs as well.
