Hey guys EZ here, a while back I brought up the idea of making a mod for Panzer Corps but never got around to doing it (mainly cause of laziness and other problems I had to face). Since I want to orient my studies towards maybe coding and video game design, I figured investing time in modding a game would give me some form of experience.

Loving PC and having spent multiple hours on it, I finally want to do something productive and make a mod for this game based on the Cold War turning into WW3.

However, I have no experience whatsoever as a modder and coding games as well (idk if it's necessary for modding PC games though [the coding part is what i'm talking about]) but I'm going to try to figure out how to get things working.

BNC posted on my original topic (Cold War mod?) that starting with map design would be the best idea and so I will.

My major concern is units and how they will act/ look/ animate etc. as well as ideas for units since I'm not the most fimiliar with weapons of the 50-60s (which is when this hypothetical scenario will take place)

so far here's what I can come up with (NB I'm not sure weather or not some units were around during those years, please correct me if i'm wrong, also I dont know the full designation of many vehicles so please let me know)
