with the AO 1946's nuclear weapon rule,it seems possible to make a mod take time to 1950s, have someone already doing that?

The problem to make a mod is that you have to be together and form a team because it’s too much work for one person.

it´s not. it just takes longer.

The game engine can do any time u want, but without the ability to add new models it makes no sense. a korea war is probs possible, there was not much new stuff, but later years, like vietnam, is kinda off without helicopters eq.

The mod is often of much better quality when it is the work of a team rather due to one person

Yeah, I wish modding was easier. Plenty of alt-hist/ different time period mods in PanzerCorps 1

if u feel like creating a campaign go ahead and do all the editor stuff, like map, briefing, units, etc.
This part of creating a campaign is similar to PC1 editing.

Then u tell me what u want to happen in the scenario and i´ll do the LUA.

Tbf, I've been peeking a bit into the editor while playing your Panzer Corps 1 mod and it doesn't look too bad. I just have no idea how you add heros to units

It's done in the LUA file.
wrote: function CreateAndAssignNewHero1(unit_id)
local hero = NewHero()
local unit = world:GetUnit(unit_id)
if (unit == nil) then return end
hero.portrait = "/Game/Gui/Common/Heroes/DE/de_in_11.de_in_11"
hero.name = NSLOCTEXT("scenario_Zaporizhia", "Volkhardt_Kautz", "Volkhardt Kautz")
hero.extra_traits = {UnitTrait.QuadripleGun, UnitTrait.Readiness}
local action = world:MakeNewHeroAction(unit.owner_id, hero)
world:Exec(action)

local assign_hero_action = world:MakeAssignHeroAction(unit, hero.id)
world:Exec(assign_hero_action)
end
or
wrote: function CreateAndAssignEnemyHero2(unit_id)
local hero = NewHero()
local unit = world:GetUnit(unit_id)
hero.portrait = "/Game/Gui/Common/Heroes/generic_standin.generic_standin"
hero.extra_traits = {UnitTrait.DoubleAttack, UnitTrait.TankKiller}
local action = world:MakeNewHeroAction(unit.owner_id, hero)
world:Exec(action)

local assign_hero_action = world:MakeAssignHeroAction(unit, hero.id)
world:Exec(assign_hero_action)
end
and takes a bit of practice to get working the way one would like.
