Darkest Hour (a Hearts of Iron 2 game) from Paradox Studio is one of the best WW2 grand strategy games out there. But even more than that, its strongest point is the ease with which it can be modded. With mods one can play any timeline in the game from pre-industrial age all the way to the modern era, all in a warfare focused format.
So, not haggling further into details, I present to you a mod I created for the timeline 1881-1915.Be warned though, it is only tested on Darkest Hour 1.03 RC2,and therefore may not work with future versions.
Aims:
- To extend Darkest Hour Timeline to the relatively little explored 19th century
- Pre-dreadnought combat!
- To remove the "nobody" status on my head :P
Features:
- Starting Dates of 1881 and 1899
- Accurate naval buildup for most countries, and to some extent, the army too
- Mostly accurate map (i did add some a-historical countries/boundaries, it being easier due to lack of time or modders, though it shouldn't affect most countries)
Scenarios:
- 1881 (converted and later enhanced from Victoria Revolutions 1881 scenario)
- 1899 (a Fashoda Incident scenario, based on a what-if situation in which France and Britian go to war)
- Heart of Darkness (a fantasy scenario with African powers competing for supremacy); an Africa only scenario in 1870
- And others, in progress
Issues:
- No events (besides common ones)
- Some a-historical border/country alterations
- No trigger for war between France and Britian in 1899 (I'll patch-fix this later), for now it has to be done manually
-The AI has been made exceptionally interventionist, so that it goes to war more often and makes grand alliances (fuel for a pre-dreadnought-era World War) even more often.
*Note: Almost all these issues being caused by lack of time or skilled modders, but I'll try to fix them one by one

(Put the whole folder in your Mods directory present in your Darkest Hour game folder)Please comment below for any issues besides those pointed above, I'll try to fix them all
I intend to keep improving the mod, so it will remain an active project. Oh, and any help would be most appreciated.
