1913: The Gathering Storm

This mod is not compatible with any other mod, as it modifies lot of the game files.

It's recommended to play with low ai agression (for the interwar period and prevent the great powers to go wild) and the short loyalties grace period (for the economic adjustments during the first years).

Some production methods are not activated by our building spawn script. Make sure to verify at start that your buildings are using the correct PMs and not older ones.

WW2 content is unbalanced and not localized as it's sill a work in progress.

For multiplayer, it is recommanded to play on 2 speed. Always let the game run for 1-2 weeks before interacting with anything when starting the multiplayer session or when someone hotjoins. If you see the desync pannel, just drag it on a bottom corner and continue at 1 speed for a month. You are only really desynced when you cannot press buttons. If that's the case, kick the desynced players and let them hotjoin again.

Your feedbacks are very much welcome, and if you are willing to find players for MP games, get informed about the mod, our help us with research and development, feel free to join our discord: https://discord.gg/WW9hEefYUQ


The date is June 28, 1913. For the last 97 years, Europe has managed to avoid a general war. Industrialization has swept across the continent, bringing wealth to the masses the likes of which had never been seen before. Nationalism has forged the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy out of the ashes of medieval Europe. Colonialism has been exported across the globe and even the proud emperors of China have been forced to kowtow before the might of Europe. Yet all is not as it seems. These forces that have forged Europe threaten to upend the concert of Europe as national rivalries, industrial warfare, and territorial disputes all scream out for blood. Will you lead your nation to glory and triumph ? Or will your people only know the bitter taste of defeat ?
