Chexier's Present Day Mod - Modern World, but improved

[Chexier 331]

 

Are you tired of playing the Modern World scenario which has no relations, alliances or more government types?

Well, then I present you:

 

PRESENT DAY MOD

When I played the Modern World scenario for the first time, I noticed lots of inaccuracies, such as Guernsey being fully independent, Somalia having a fully funtional government and Cuba being democratic. So, I've made this mod to make a realistic modern world.

MOD FEATURES:

 

What the mod currently includes:

• United Nations
• Revamped UI
• Present Day scenario
• Renamed buildings, actions etc.
• New icons
• New soundtrack
• Mod size: 161 MB
• Less leaders, but more will be coming soon
• More excitement than Modern Day +

NEW UPDATE: 2019/12/30

• Fixed Aaland, Saint Pierre
• Buffed USA
• Russia-Ukraine relations
• Social Democracy and Federal Republic types of government
• New color palette!
• Fixed the Middle East (removed ISIS, added rebels in Syria)
• Nerfed communism

NEW UPDATE: 2019/12/30

NEW UPDATE 2019/01/06

• Removed the text file in /game/civilizations_editor due to this advice.

NEW HUGE UPDATE 2019/01/23

• Now the mod includes the whole game folder (242 MB)

NEW UPDATE 2019/01/24

• Removed AoC.exe and AoC2.jar, to lower file size and to prevent pirating
• Added city icons from 11:59 (Credits to Vis Tacitus, he makes awesome stuff!)
• Revamped the user interface
• Fixed Artsakh
• Modified events to make the AI have an equal chance of choosing decisions in an event, to make the game more unpredictable
• Removed leaders and almost all scenarios to make the game lighter in file size. The only civ that has a leader is the US, but I will be adding more in the future (with a custom background).
• Removed Sabaton songs, they were not fitting with the theme
• Added 6 music files from Machinimasound, I will be adding more in the future though.
• Your game will now start in the "Brazil" scenario, change it to "Present Day".
• New font: Prototype!
• Nerfed New Russia
• Fixed continents and regions
• Added more province connections
• Added Bornholm, I will also be adding more cities in the future

Borders are based on reality (what goverment controls them), not if it's UN recognised or whatever.

 

Mod development has stopped for now, and I don't know when I will resume it.

There is no province editor yet, but when it becomes available I'll create those countries.

[Chexier 331]

Apparently the scenario is not working now for some reason, I'll try to fix it as fast as I can.

EDIT: The scenario is fixed!

I know it doesn't make sense, I made it a "government" because somalia is a thing, but the goverment doesn't really work there

Thank you! Also, I'm adding the mod to ModDB soon.

EDIT 2: I changed the download link here too, so the mod is a .zip file.

It was playable, however after realizing they only control a small amount of territory in 2018 (I used a 2015 map before lol) that are much smaller than a province in-game, So I removed them.

[Agamem8 2]

Ah i see, do you think it would be possible to create an online multiplayer for this game? with chat

Well, you can suggest it in the suggestions subforum for multiplayer, but if AoC2 already had online games you could play this scenario with your friends, but everyone that would be playing with you should have this mod for the game to work.

BRICS is not a military alliance, so I won't add it for now.
