[MOD] Minors' Booster Pack v.1.2

[ZeusImmortal]

UPDATE! MBP v.1.2 now available!

The concept behind this pack is to make all minor nations playable and enjoyable! So now you are able to play all your favorite or custom made scenarios that works with Vanilla and get a completely new perspective of the game! Finally, no more cursing when by mistake a Canadian, Australian, free or Vichy french unit captures a city hex, ruining all your plans! Now even the smallest of nations have their own strengths that can be used to reach victory.

We proudly present the Minor's Booster Pack v1.2 with the following NEW features:

- More late war equipment (Matilda Hedgehog, Panther F etc)
- Greatly enhanced Australia, South Africa, Canada
- Human Torpedo (Neger - self destructible)
- Super Heavy Tanks (Centurion, IS-4, Ratte, Black Prince, M26E1)
- More Units (CAC Boomerang, Sentinel Tank, Ram I and II, Marmon-Herrington, Bulgarian and Vichy D.520)
- Slightly tweaked values of equipment for more historical accuracy (e.g lower soft attack for Elefant to reflect its weakest feature: infantry attacks)

Features (V1.11 inherited in 1.2):

- Playable Finland and Minor Axis instead of the boring Blue and Red teams
- Purchasable Missiles (Wasserfest, V1 and V2)
- More Jets for late 1945 scenarios (Campini Caproni, P80 Shooting Star, P-59 Airacomet, de Havilland Vampire, Ju287 etc)
- More planes (Fokker D.XXI, MB.152, Ca.111, Re2002 etc)
- New skins for many units (Spitfires, French air force)
- Mechanised Bridge Engineer (Bergetiger)
- New ships
- Recon planes for most countries
- IS-3 Super Heavy Soviet Tanks
- Stealth planes like Horten and Go229 (difficult to detect)

and many others!

I will post the full list of new units within the following days!




Features (V1.0 inherited in 1.2):

- 100+ new units, many of them brand new, others taken from various developers, others modified or
re-skinned original images
- 10+ brand new or redesigned maps
- Vastly enhanced armories of minor axis and minor allies that played a role in the campaign (most
notably Greece, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and to a lesser extend Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Free France,
Vichy France, Canada. Major powers (Germany, Italy, Britain, USA) have had also their share of
enhancement! In total more than 120 units added in the equipment table.
- Historically accurate "wonder weapons"
- Fully functional reconnaissance airplanes
- 3 new sfx
- improved equipment table to reflect better unit abilities and actual costs and historical dates of operational introduction into combat (e.g minor powers need more prestige for imported weapon systems with lower stats reflecting the diplomatic game played at the era but also the limited time available to train crews to the new weapons)
- changed medal awards system (still only for the axis though)

To get a taste!

[ZeusImmortal]

The version currently available is basically the 1.0. The update is ready for some time now but is tested for compatibility issues. The idea is that scenarios can be played either with 1.0 or 1.1 without any problems. Most likely it will be released together with the Balkan Campaign 2.1

Keep up the good work guys! We are indebted to all play testers and kind members of the forum for their feedback!

There were recon planes in the minors' booster pack no?

[ZeusImmortal]

As it says in the features: "- Fully functional reconnaissance airplanes"

So yes, there are recon planes for many major and minor nations (but not for all)

[ZeusImmortal]

Dear all,

It seems that I will delay any updates until 1.13 is released. It seems that there will be some major changes thus new modifications might be required anyway. Sorry for any delay...

1.13 is already available as a public beta, so you can download it and see if any changes will be required or not.

[ZeusImmortal]

Good idea:-) As long as the numbering of the units is not going to change any further I can work with this.

[KeldorKatarn]

Did any unit IDs change? or were just new ones added? Changed IDs might be an issue for my DossierTool users that I need to take care of

We don't change unit IDs in the patches. This would break all the existing content. When adding new units, we just use IDs which were not used before.

[KeldorKatarn]

Good to know

[ZeusImmortal]

V1.1 is ready and available for download!

Together with v1.13 of PC it really ROCKS and opens more windows for further improvements in the future (suicide submarines etc)

But for now, enjoy v1.1 of the MBP!

And great many thanks to all those that even unknowingly helped for this mod!
