Polish Campaign Overhaul

Description
Do you feel like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is represented way too minimally and inaccurately in the game?

Are you frustrated that you can't invade Poland along with your best bud Hitler while playing as the USSR? Well that was my feeling anyway. So I started to develop a mod to fix all that!

The Polish Campaign Overhaul mod aims to make the events of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact up to the second partition of Poland a little more realistic but above all a lot more enjoyable!

_________________

PLEASE NOTE that the mod is unlikely to be compatible with other mods (including rt56, etc).

_________________

Here's a quick rundown of the January 2025 rework:

- All the tooltips, both under events and focuses have been rewritten to be much clearer and (hopefully) match more the base game's writing style.
- The event chains, especially the Danzig or War one, have been reorganised, I've deleted unecessary events and shortened all the descriptions quite a bit to make the whole thing smoother.
- Everything surrounding the Soviet invasion of Poland... which is what the mod is all about really, has been completely reworked. It may not look like it, but trust me it was the hardest part of the rework.
- Oh, also, I added a new focus for Germany: "Fate of Poland". It just gives you an instant wargoal against Poland, in case they did accept to return Danzig but you don't intend to just stop there, which is what the nazis would have done irl.
I've been toying with the idea of making an event chain for that focus too, similar to the way the "Fate of Czecoslovakia" or "Fate of Yugoslavia" focuses work, but for now I'll leave it at that.

(Btw, from your comment, you seem to be aware that if you intend to larp the invasion as Germany, you're supposed to capture Lublin but not Bialystok. And... yep, it can be difficult to do it exactly as irl and some of it is down to sheer luck, but sadly there's not much I can do about that.)

@ringtail_raccoon I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tired and it took me a while to get what you mean, sorry about that.

So, if as Germany you capture either Bialystok or Lublin (or both) AND the Soviets have not captured any of your claims, you're supposed (on historical, it's guaranteed) to get an event named "The Soviet Union Wishes to Renegotiate the Territorial Clauses of the Pact". This event gives you the option to either keep Bialystok/Lublin in exchange for the Soviets getting Lithuania, or to hand over their claims.

Now, the thing is that if you ended up capturing both Bialystok and Lublin, then you can either keep them both or transfer them both, but no middle ground where you hand over one and keep the other, or something.

So yeah, but I mean, what you describe is not really a bad thing, is it? In addition to Lublin, you also got Bialystok for free!

@ArchiTheLobster I've been able to take Lublin, but because of the rest of poland being taken for the soviets, when I leave bialystok it goes to me due to the surrender threshold, even though the soviets claim Bial. Now, when the time comes for me to renegotiate the treaty, i dont have the option to send bialystok. they just get lithuanian claims. ideally it would help if you took either lublin or bialystok the event for negotiations should include bialystok being given to the soviets?

Also, I've taken the time to update the mod to the latest version, so there you go for the people who asked me. As always, feel free to report bugs and the like!
ArchiTheLobster  [author] Sep 28 @ 8:53am 
@ringtail_raccoon You simply need to select the option for the soviets to claim Białystok in the initial M-R Pact event chain, and then if you invade Poland and eveything goes right it'll be transfered to them. Did that answer you question or have I misunderstood?

hey you need you need to update the mod for the new update btw :3
ringtail_raccoon Sep 27 @ 8:56am 
how exactly am i supposed to send Białystok to the soviets once the territorial re-arrangement is organised?
ArchiTheLobster  [author] Sep 4 @ 6:42am 
That just means the mod hasnt been updated since 1.15, it doesnt mean it's not compatible with newer patches.
