Really excited for the future of this mod.

@bryanrrogers80 I have no idea man, his whole argument was that since I didn't add any custom content and only used vanilla arma 3, I shouldn't have made the mod at all, which is in my opinion ridiculous. However, I do think I owe the subscribers to this mod signficant improvement, and I am working towards that. Thank you for your support

yo whats the problem with that Dub guy?

@Starwalker. I know :( I’m sorry my friend, that was a mistake on my part. I didn’t realize I could’ve used arma 3 atlas instead of expeditionary forces. Don’t worry though, I am going to completely rebuild this mod and do away with the EF requirement soon

Ooooh you base on HOI4 mod Fire Rise, i like that. Thank you

The only problem I have with this mod is the dlcs, sadly I cant play it but I know its good

Thanks for the suppport guys, i'm gonna do the best I can on this rework. I'll have to rebuild the mod from the ground up, but using Arma 3 Atlas instead of the EF DLC will give me significantly more leeway in designing these factions

based

either way though, great mod!

I don't think the marxist and anti-racist factions should be on the same side as the southern and atomwaffen ones lmao

@McPlerg. You’re absolutely right. That’s a mistake on my part, I think I may have to take that out of the CfgPatches files. I’ll do it as soon as I can. I’m rather busy at the moment with irl stuff, but I will see to it that this is fixed. I also plan on a major rework of the mod to remove the expeditionary forces requirement altogether. Sorry for the inconvenience, it’s my first mod and I’m still learning the ropes.

The mod is not set up properly as everytime you launch the game with it, you get an error how a certain faction "O_APLA" requires addon 'EF_ B_MJTF_Des' (even though you have the DLC or compat data). This results in dedicated servers not being able to run any missions that uses the mod. Very unfortunate this was overlooked and just posted on the workshop

i can NOT thank you enough for this early Christmas gift. i like to play around in Zeus like an R.T.S. great mod and can't wait to try it.

Keep up the good work!

A major rework is coming. I will consider the scifi plus mod, but for the moment, the rework will remove the expeditionary forces DLC requirement, replacing it with Arma 3 atlas. Most factions will probably have to be remade from the ground up. I appreciate your patience while i work on this.

looks like im reinstalling arma kek

@22JUAN22 you should definetly use the Scifi Plus mod by S.Collins it adds various 2ACW Uniforms that would fit perfectly for this!

The factions planned for the next update are the "cult of the forest", anarcho-primitivist ghille-wearing psychos and either a Cascadian republic or its militia.

This is so peak, gonna Zeus an entire campaign using this mod.

Cool mod! Looking forward for the CUP version

Hey, thanks a lot fellas. I appreciate the support. Regardless, I’d still like to apologize for this mod’s drawbacks. I’d like to emphasize that criticism is more than welcome, so long as you’re not just saying “the mod shouldn’t exist”. I’m going to do my best to keep improving this mod, adding factions, and tailoring it to those who enjoy it.

Ignore the terminally online dorks. The mod is great thanks for making it.

@Dubs your a nerd dude cope harder lmao

@Dubs, I didn’t lie. I clarified that the previous faction mods were compositions, and that this is the first official one. Yet, despite me clarifying that, you’re still accusing me of lying. Also, 2 people called it mid and pointless, yet 400 have favorited within a week. You’re not wrong to call the mod mid, but you are wrong to imply that I’m deceiving people. I’m not.

I asked, "What's the point of this mod if it adds nothing new and just uses vanilla assets with someone else's mod work?" It's a question. No one told you to take your work down, no one said that it should be taken down, they called it mid and pointless. If you took more meaning than that and took personal attacks from that, then be less sensitive to criticism. Lying to make yourself feel better makes you and your work look way worse.

"Also, you, with an animated avatar YouTube channel, are not really in a place to scrutinize my previous uploads." Oh no, you mortally wound me by repeating my own profile description back to me! Obviously I lack self-awareness to give such a description publicly to myself, how could you make fun of me so harshly? I demand immediate satisfaction for this totally personal attack of mean words on the internet!

^ That's how you're sounding. Chill out. Your mod is mid. Peace.

@Dub. You put “disclaimer” in quotation marks when it’s literally in all caps near the top of the description. Dude, you’re acting like I have some ulterior motive or am trying to deceive people when I really am not. I wanted to save people the task of making factions to apply the patches to. That’s literally it.

@Dub. I didn’t even want this mod to end up with 4 stars and on the front page of the steam workshop, I intended for it to stay small, humble, and only for those who felt a need for it. Just because it did, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist just because it’s not up to your standards. Criticism is fine, arguing that I should just take it down altogether is infuriatingly stupid.

@Dub. The other mods were mere compositions. This is the first mod that adds actual factions that appear in the 3den menu.

No, there is nothing wrong with pointing out flaws in this mod, there isn’t even anything wrong with calling it mid. In fact, I agree, it wasn’t meant to be anything else. What irks me about your criticism is that you’re arguing that the mod shouldn’t exist in the first place. Why not allow it to exist as a mid mod? Why do you have to insist on the mod not existing at all because it’s not up to your standards?

Also, you, with an animated avatar YouTube channel, are not really in a place to scrutinize my previous uploads.

"This is my first mod, I didn’t advertise it as anything other than what it is."

This is a really weird defense you're trying to take up against people pointing out flaws and leveling criticism. Especially because I (and everyone else) can see all your previous mods of also-repackaged vanilla assets for Arma 3. You've uploaded quite a few "faction" mods since early 2023, why are you pretending this is your first mod? Even if it was true, it's not a defense, but it's not even true. You're just lying to... save face on the internet, I guess? It's weird, dude.

People are going to call out mid when you post mid, even with your post-criticism "disclaimer." Maybe wait until you're an adult to post stuff so you can handle criticism better? Or at least learn how to make original assets so people will have some work to respect and enjoy? For now take your L.

Does the gear randomise

@Hans, I didn't advertise it as anything else. It's called second american civil war FACTIONS for a reason, because they're simple alive ORBAT factions using what Arma 3 and Aegis come with. You're essentially saying "Erm... you dind't add anything at all, why did you even make this?" Because i felt like it. You don't dictate wether I can or cannot upload it to the workshop. Regardless, I'm putting a disclaimer if it makes you get off my d*ck.

As Dub said, It's literally just a mid asf mod with nothing to add other than flags placed upon Arma 3 Assets and calling it an original fucking mod. This is just a slop fest of nothing to offer.

Add the caniballs clan

@Dub. It’s not crying, it’s called a counter-argument, genius. I’m retorting your argument that I shouldn’t have made the mod whatsoever. I’ve actually responded to valid criticism quite reasonably, I just don’t consider your criticism in particular valid because you’re arguing for a stupid idea.

@22JUAN22 Oh no, my feelings! However will I cope with such amazing comebacks? You have mortally wounded me sir.

People said mean things about you on the internet and called out your mid mod. Cry harder and you'll make everyone retract their mean words, it totally works that way.

@Dub “erm dude???? What’s the point of saving people hours of work and just letting them have the factions premade so they can have fun when you can just not make a mod at all???” Ahh argument. Coming from a guy with a whopping ZERO workshop items, your argument isn’t really valid to me. I didn’t mislead people. You get what you’re told you’re getting.

@Dub. This is my first mod, I didn’t advertise it as anything other than what it is. You get what you’re told you’re getting. I made factions from a second American civil war using what was available in Arma and Aegis. You should spend months making your own mod if you hate mine so much little man.
Also, your assessment is just blatantly false. The factions I made, such as the insurgent factions, which you may have seen had you not used like 1 faction and then gone on this ridiculous tirade, are completely different from any existing faction in Arma. So yes, it is Arma 3 vanilla and Aegis content reorganized, but I didn’t advertise it as anything else.

This... isn't even a reskin. The only thing you added is the TFR flags/patches and placed them on existing assets with no real changes or updates. Why not just make a mod adding the custom flags/patches and let people put them on whatever vanilla/mod assets they want?

Actually, you didn't even make that much. The flags/patches are just ripped from LoopDeLoopers mod. What's the point of this mod if it adds nothing new and just uses vanilla assets with someone else's mod work? Mid, dude.

@Hans Cope and sneed. I actually like Arma 3's 2035 setting and wanted to create a unique near-future civil war mod. If you want something more contemporary, you can always play the son's weve lost or wait for my CUP version. Not to mention, this is my first ever mod, and people seem to like it enough.

2035 Slop, It's just Arma 3 Retextures. Mid asf.

wow the fire rises now in arma 3

have you considered using the scifi factions mod for uniform retextures? they have a 2ACW selection of uniforms

looks very cool, looking forward at the CUP version.

Can we have New California Republic?

Getting the error "Addon 'O_APLA' requires addon 'EF_B_MJTF_Des'. Anyone getting the same issue?

Hey man, just wanna say, this stuff looks awesome.

tfr in arma is so fire

THE FIRE RISES IN ARMA!!!!!!!

thank god the DLC less version is coming, because i love TFR but i'm not paying for this mod when i got the factions from another mod-pack already.

This is awesome though, so I don't want to seem like I was being overly negative! I just have a lot of thoughts since I made a similar set of factions in orbat years ago using cup assets but never got to put it up on the workshop, so it's cool to see it brought to life like this!
