European Union

[Tok'ra Operative]

Began work recently for a new European Union mod. Unlike previous European Union mods which used Britain as a base, I have chosen instead to use Germany as a template.

So far the EU consists of all default member nations though expansion is possible. So far I have all overseas holdings as part of the EU though I am considering independence on a case-by-case basis. Greenland is one possible new country.

I now have two separate approaches for unit designs; EU adopts all member nation designs OR EU given unique unit designs with historical European names. EU may or may not keep German unit designs if latter is chosen.

You can use everything in the EU, expect Russian or anything else's military technology. If the EU will unite someday, Rheinmetall or BAE System will not stop its military programs.

So primarily German, French, and British technology?

The problem with adding too many units is that it creates a scrolling problem. Plus won't several units share names but stack separately?

You should make all overseas holdings indepdeant countries! That is just my idea haha , i think it would be funny.

At the very least Greenland should be given independence with former Denmark as a template. I hope there's enough former countries to use as templates for overseas holding countries. Adding countries beyond 194 tends to slow the game down.

Haha! No Greenland shouldn't be given independence because it is still apart of Denmark legally.

I just finished this "E.U" mod with all modern day European Union countries merged as one (excluding the United Kingdom)

I used Belgium as refrence template.
I gave the European Union all current military units but gave the E.U state a slow G.D.P grow at 0.097% , The E.U has its own limited produced military force of custom designed units :L

o-0 add me for cooperation.

Its not too much technology for all of them in one theme. There is 4-5 tanks for sweden, poland, uk, germany and france and italy

He is just refering to the amount of units you've to actually create in the string tables.
I will just assume you've not used the modding tool before! Adding the design name and allocating it to the country of your choice is all fine and dandy,but when you're wanting to place those units into the game there are four individual tables you need to do.Its lengthy! and is boring,i assume that SecreteAgent just wants to keep it to as minimal as possible which i don't blame him for.

Resuming work on the European Union mod. The mod is for the most part completed, I am still stuck on whether to give the EU unique military units, give them all units of the EU members, or just all major units combined with unique units.
