The Second Civil War & Ukraine

One of our biggest challenges was to rework the Second Civil War. Make it more diverse, a bit harder for those who did not release any country, and also more entertaining. This is also where we say hello to our new candidate in the civil war, Ukraine! Yes, that's right...
Ukraine is getting its own focus tree. Along with all the Russian States (they will share a common focus tree). To play Ukraine, you'll either have to release them at the start (not recommended) or start the Second Civil War, where you'll be able to play as them. Obviously, they are not intended to be easy, rather very challenging. But also very rewarding. I'll let the screenshots talk for themselves!

The new decisions for the Second Civil War

The aim here is to make the Second Civil War a global conflict, where much like the first, outside major powers can try to influence the war by sending volunteers and much more. This does not mean the conflict will last longer but will be way more intense (with lots of things that can happen!). What about Ukraine? Well, it's too long to explain but... You'll have a lot of possibilities. Lay low and hope for the best... Join the war and fight for independence! Or... Even do some crazy things.

But enough said already! We want you to experience the changes by yourself. Just be patient.




What about the rest?

Well, we added so much more stuff. A warning when the game starts to warn you if you are using incompatible mods, new game rules, new nations, new leaders... Sooo much stuff! We also did our best to fix bugs, balance things out and even optimize the performance of the mod. Here are some screenshots for you all.

We also reshaped the focus tree to make it bigger but also less confusing, and make sure to update filters so you don't get lost! We still don't know when the update will be released, but you know why it takes time now. You can always try it out on the mod's GitHub (not really recommended as some stuff is still WIP, etc...). Finally, every path has a little thing in common, which we do not show in the screenshots because it's still a secret (hint : it's at the bottom of every path!).
Anyways, thank you all for the support you bring. Help is always welcomed, even a simple bug report helps us a lot.

With that said... Have a good/night!
