Notes: Region INCL file
|
|
- in \MAPS - Copy GlobalCrisis.REGIONINCL as ConfederateStates.REGIONINCL
- Edit the file in a text editor such as "Notepad"
- remove the entry for the United States #2999
- add the new group numbers 2994, 2995 and 2996 on their own lines
- Save and Close
Make a .CVP file
- in \MAPS - Copy GlobalCrisis.CVP as ConfederateStates.CVP
- Edit the file in a text editor such as "Notepad"
- Copy the body of text for region 2999 and past it in three times. Change the values in each set to 2994/2995/2996
- Change the &&GROUPING section to reflect the above regions
- NOTE: There is a maximum of 32 members to a group, but a group can be a member. In some cases groups will be needed inside groups to make the desired region.
- update the following values;
- regionname
- flagnum (see next step, #340, 39 and 245 respectively)
- techlevel (optional)
- capitalx (X coordinates of the desired capital X,Y map location)
- capitaly (Y coordinates of the desired capital X,Y map location)
Add flags to the FLAGBITS page
in \Graphics - Find available positions on the flagbits pages to locate your flags. Use the flag number of a region who's flag you can locate to find the number that corresponds to the location.
- 337 is Kansas on FLAGBITS8 so 340 is available. Group 2995 uses flag 39 and 2996 uses 245.
- Add flag to new position on PNG file.
Make a .Scenario file
- in \ScenarioGC - Copy MacArthur's Return.Scenario as ConfederateStates.Scenario
- Edit the file in a text editor such as "Notepad"
- Replace the following text;
- GlobalCrisis.CVP with ConfederateStates.CVP
- GlobalCrisis.REGIONINCL with ConfederateStates.REGIONINCL
- GlobalCrisis.OOB with ShatteredWorld.OOB
- Because this uses parts of the US, use the ShatteredWorld.OOB file
- savfile "Global Crisis" with savfile "Confederate States"
- MacArthur's Return.csv with Confederate States.csv
- we will create the file in the next step
- MacArthur's Return-Text.csv with Confederate States-Text.csv
- we will create the file in the step after next
- Remove victory hex coordinates
- change default region to 2994
- svictorycond: ? (Complete Victory)
- Allied Victory=on ?
- add to the bottom of the file the lin "limitinscenario: Y"

Notes: Region INCL file
|
|
- in \ScenarioGC - Copy MacArthur's Return.csv as Confederate States.csv
- Edit the file in a text editor such as "Notepad"
- Remove all entries in the &&SEVENTS section
- in the &®IONSCEN section specify 2994, 2995 and 2996 as "in scenario" regions. The section should look like this;
&®IONSCEN
2994, True, False, False, False, False, False,
2995, True, False, False, False, False, False,
2996, True, False, False, False, False, False,
- Make sure no other regions are listed in that section with "true" in the first position (set as in scenario)
- create a &&CVPREL for each region and any regions who's relations need overrides or treaties added. Relations modifiers are explained in the .CSV modding section. Here is an example of one of those sections;
&&CVPREL, 2994 //
2995, ,-0.5 ,-.8 , .7
2996, , , ,
This file is an override, anything done in this file is independent of the cache. It can be changed for the purpose of balance without needed to recreate the cache. Only region numbers listed in the RegionINCL should be used in this file.
Make a -text.CSV file
- in \Localize\LOCALEN\Scenario - Copy MacArthur's Return-Text.csv as Confederate States-Text.csv
- Edit the file in a text editor such as "Notepad"
- in the sectoin &®IONTEXT duplicate the the text for the existing region 2999 two more times.
- Renumber each of the three bodies of text to 2994, 2995 and 2996 respectively
- Write the opening e-mails for each region.

Notes from forum post
The scenario goal is to win/invade the other side to get the Neutral Union to join Your nation. You can choose between CSA and USA to play with in the scenario.
The Confederate States:
- Poplation = all member states
- Capital: Richmond, Virginia
- Status: Democracy
- Flag
- Short Story: After a Republican coup in 2018, things started to evolve fast and on 1.1.2020 The Confederacy Declared: "The Southern states are feed up with the "discrimination", ignorance and the northern corruptness. Therefor The States that have Freely chosen to join our new Confederacy to form an independent nation."
The United States of America "the Union":
- Population = all member states
- Capital: Washington, D.C
- Flag: The United States Flag
- Status: Dictatorship
- Short Story: The Norther states can't just sit by and watch their fellow Americans parish under such tyranny. "With radical actions from the Southern States, we now see no way to end this crisis in an peaceful way"
The Neutral Union:
- Population = all member nations
- Capital: Honolulu
- Flag of Alaska
- Status: Democracy
- Short Story: These nations have declared themselves neutral and will join the victor to form a reunified nation.
