Looking for a Modder to Revive RED WWII
Hey all

This mod is loved by many players and still has a very active player population. BUT, the Mod Maker Gedemon has been gone for a year now and there's still a lot of bugs, crashes, and development to do for this mod (especially on the old disabled maps). I personally want to see this mod progress and be completed. If you're interested, leave a reply. If you go to the civfanatics forum for this mod you can find links to download every update of this mod including the current one if that makes modding any easier.

I'm not a modder but I am an amateur at programming (2 Java courses) and am willing to learn and help when I have spare time.

Please lemme know

And I mean no disrepect to Gedemon in this post - he has done an exceptional job and I can't blame him for stopping. Modding is time consuming and sometimes exhausting. I just want to see the mod continue to grow.

I have worked with Gedemon on this MOD, my job were making icons. But I am able to help in some cases. So what's the most important thing you want to do first?

Hey thanks for the reply! Well I think the first place to start is bugs, especially capture city crashes for Copenhagen, Paris since they're game breaking for some. I also figured out why barbarians take forever through IGE. If we can't do anything with those maybe work on the operations - for example, why isn't Barborrossa in the mod? etc.

Well, then step by step. First the bugs: In most cases you can prevent crashes if you toggle on the quick combat mode. Gedemon has included this for these cases. You find it left of the mini map. So if you have a crash, try this first. I have never seen a "Copenhagen crash" or "Paris crash" in Version 45. Some people are playing older versions, I recommend to play only version 45, cause it's the most stable one.

If you find out why the babarian turn is to long, let me know the reason, maybe we can fix it.

Third the operations: In my opinion only the "Weserübung" makes sense. All other operations should the player perform himself. The big problem with this MOD is the poor AI. Germany as
AI is performing better than other nations (e.g. Russia). If you give them additional operations it means a huge advantage for the axis. That's the reason why I only play against human players,
the computer is no match. If you are interested in such a game, let me know. You only need Dropbox.

I would like to start with some subtle changes...
Changing the promotion tree e.g.for submarines
Including traits for all nations, at the moment there are only Germany, Italy and Russia active.
Proposals for France, Greece an GB are welcome.
We need also a exchange platform for testing purposes, Dropbox?

I play with v45 and def have the quick movement on haha. It's usually others I see get the city capture crashes

What you say about some operations and such makes sense to me - although I have noticed that (especially in the old maps) Russia has so much time to build a military that it seems to roll over Germany once they enter the war. I normally don't play as Germany or Russia so this is just what I see AI do. You're definitely right in pve or pvp tho

Subtle changes is a great start, since I'm new to this. Dropbox is fine (abacon). I like the supposed traits that are listed but inactive - GB's resistance on home turf, France's partisan units (what would they be tho - like the French Resistance?) and Greece's Discipline promotion of course.

As for the promotion tree for subs hmm... I think Snorkel for extended movement, Acoustic torpedoes (small buff against destroyers - 10%?). I'd like to get Wolf pack in there somehow - maybe a German exclusive +10% trait.

Oh and how could I forget! The barbarian crash is caused by all the City State units actually being controlled by barbarians for some reason. I was screwing around with Spain in IGE giving republican spain units (I hate Franco) and noticed that the units of Republican Spain are listed as Barbarian. Essentially they were Republican Spain but controlled by Barbarian AI? Idk if that's a Civ5 thing or the mod. This was on the old World 1936 map and I haven't crosschecked it (was just a casual observation) but I wouldn't be surprised if the rest turned out the same way.

Well then I need your e-mail for an invitation to the dropbox file. I have activated the Greece Trait "Heroism" with his own icon. Now I will start with GB.

Here I'll PM it to you don't feel like having on that on a public forum. Good stuff btw about Greece and GB!

Can I suggest adding some sort of 'Afrikakorps' Operation? Nazi Germany rarely sends units to North Africa, since they're too busy suiciding them into the Royal Navy in the Channel. It would be a nice addition, though not necessary for an already great mod.

Well, we can try this. Should not be to difficult. I think you mean operation "Sonnenblume", which sends Rommel to Africa to help Italy against the British. I keep you informed...
