Finland Overhaul

Description
Lets face it, Finland could really use some improvements since it was left behind and many aspects were left undone. Meant mainly for Conquest since it adds new units there. Of course you can play it Skirmish or with friends in MP with the same mods installed or use it in editor.

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU PLAY CONQUEST WITH MY OTHER FINNISH MODS INSTALLED FOR MORE HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE.

It's hard to list every change but here are some of the stuff:

-Fixes vanilla textures missing proper winter texture variants (like peacoat).
-Fixes wrong collar patch colors or difference in season textures.
-New breeds and edits existing breeds (proper squad leaders, new units, new squad compositions)
-Assets (new hats, color variants, new camos, new uniforms, retextures)
-New portraits, new squad images, new squad icons
-Makes use of unused stuff and assets (stuff that never make it to the game or were unused)
-Adds MANY new voicelines (nco, officer, sniper, medic, tank)
-Adds Po-2 Recon plane to the Finns with proper textures

NOTE THAT MODDING THESE TAKES TIME AND NERVES! AND IT'S A LOT OF WORK FOR A ONE GUY.

Everything I did was a hard process since I had little to no previous experience about modding. Also there was so much work to try to bring some of the unused stuff to work again. Also some of the game assets use older humanskins and some use new system where uniforms every detail is part of the model. I'm not a modeler so i have no experience to change everything.

-Pilot hat from Totaler Krieg 1939-45 mod.
-Officer hat from Mandingos Ebin Finnish skins mod for AS

Special Thanks to:

Mandingo
-For his amazing work in AS that has continued its tale in GoH

Vasikle
-For his contribution to the mod and helping.

Tiger Baron
-For his very helpful modding guide.

The_FreeMan
-For everything he taught me and patience with my stupid questions.


Any future plans or continuity is due to change.

@Night Jager I'm not a modeler, I only do textures. Some other mods like Mace and Horten's Frontline add new vehicles and weapons, but sadly they don't change uniforms. I have considered making a light version to be used with them. But like I said, I'm currently waiting updates from the devs.

Do you thinking adding Belgian BAR, Japanese Type's, like custom weapons and Coastal Jaegers ??
Sandels FI  [author] 28 Apr @ 3:21pm 
@Night Jager Work continues. I will keep updating improvements. Also my other mods. At this poin I will wait for future game updates and what they bring.

I have question. Your mod finished or you have a future plan for mod ?

I see, thanks for the information. Love the mod by the way, cant play without it. Itseasiassa lähes kaikki sinun tekemät modit on käytössä pelissä. Teet hyvää työtä!

The biggest problem with the current system is that it doesn't allow hat model changes between seasons, like it allows it for humanskins. (Conquest and MP) Meaning that the soldier can have different clothing in winter, but the hat must be the same model. Devs can still place different hats in the mission specific files so that every soldier can have winter fur hats in winter missions for example.

@CäshCäsh_JJ Good question. That is because devs have specifically placed them on those soldiers on the mission files. So in missions soldier can have different hats depending on time and weather etc. I could add the mission specific files, but that means you don't achieve steam achievements if you use mods. Devs will probably update Finland humanskins next anyway, so I haven't bothered.
