Asia General Mod Developing

[BillDublin22]

Hello There~

I am an artist and gaming enthusiast based in Dublin, you could call me bill. I am currently leading a group of 10 members focused on researching and developing new mods for Open General.

Recently, we have dedicated a significant amount of time to creating a module centered on modern Asian history.

So far, we have completed a variety of unit icons, including the Qing New Army, Imperial Guards, Rebel Forces of the late Qing, Beiyang Warlords, the Chinese Empire Army, and the Northern Expedition Army.

To give you a better idea of our progress, we will just share our works in this Forum, hope you guys enjoy it!!!

And again it looks good

Hello all, thanks so much for your feedback.

We're currently finish making the campaigns for Asia General.

As moderator of the CC sub-forum, I have a first question: Will your campaigns be playable in different difficulty levels?
I mean that the standard is 100% prestige for players and AI and whether it will be possible for the human player to successfully complete the campaign with only 75% or 50% prestige?

Hi~ Nice to meet you.

About this question, we actually haven't consider about it, it's the first time I made new efile with my team.

We will be so happy that if you could provide us some advice for that~

[randowe]

Great job so far How come you found 10 people that are actively contributing to the mod? That's almost more active people than the forum had in the past years!
Do you guys also work on maps? How many campaigns do you plan to build? How do you plan to distribute the mod? Can other designers use your work or edit your work?

Hi~ Thanks so much, so here's our answers

First of all, I'm just a classical musician based in Dublin, Ireland, however I meet with large amount of friends from Asia area, such as Japan, China and Taiwan, they're mostly musicians as well, but they're also group of super military history fans, so once they know about a game could replay their countries' history in a more detailed way, and they're all in.

Second, we're making new maps, but that is another one of the my team's member's job, he got a plan to restore maps of China.

For the third question, here's what we're making:

1, Second Opium War （1860 )
2，Taiping Heavenly Kingdom （1851-1864 )
3，Qing Empire, Huai Army Campaign(1862-1894）
4，Japanese Boshin War(1868-1869 Campaign)
5，Japanese Satsuma Rebellion(1877）
6，Boxer Rebellion（1900）
7，1911 Revolution(1911-1912）
8，Warlord Era （1916-1928）
9，KMT Northern Expedition(1926-1928）

For the fourth question, we have no idea yet, maybe you guys could give us advice

For the last question, we're so pleased to share our works, and let's make it perfect together

[randowe]

So we can conclude that musicians based in Ireland play old video games, no?

Good luck with your project! Once you have something you want to share or if you want to post news and informations about Aisa General, i suggest to create a "official" thread for your efile in the Equipment Files-subforum. But please take your time!

Hahah, you can say that~

We will possibly post a thread in Equipment Files Sub forum once we have a downloadnable version of Asia General.

I think that day is really close, as we already testing few campaigns we made by some lucky players.

[BillDublin22]

Here's some updates related to Asia General, we're making Taiping Heavenly Kingdom campaign(1853-1864), here's some screenshots, including some new icons we made, such as Huai Army, Taiping Kingdom Army, Ever Victorious Army：

Do you plan to use the tiled maps (like in the screenshots) or painted maps (jpg or png)?

We're still using tiled map for testing, maybe in the future, we will consider different map types.

[BillDublin22]

Another updates,
we feel like the Jingal icons was not so good, so we just restored it:
