Events for CWE

[Fistalis]

Feel free to post cold war era events that are missing from the current vanilla to be considered for CWE. Since CWE will use the unit and tech files from the modern world and the map/economy/starting setup etc from vanilla the events is really the only thing that needs to be done.

Once we compile a good list I'll add the ones I've selected and we'll get it released.

No replies, this mod is put on the back burner.

I think one event that certainly needs to be added is the Geneva accords so that even if North Vietnam is defeated by the French they could declare independence through an event in 1954. That way we could have a more realistic Vietnam war scenario.

if someone can "traslate" the events file so we can check if some events is missing.

I just thought of one big event that should have been added to the original game. An event forming the United Arab Republic should definitely be included. I would also fix the Portuguese Goa event. In the game Goa just magically becomes part of India suddenly, in reality they invaded Goa and the Portuguese resisted. This would be much more realistic because then it would give Portuguese players a chance to try and defend Goa ;D

Also, I noticed that independence events just kinda...don't happen for colonies that are part of colonial conglomerates like French West Africa or Ruanda-Urundi. I've never played this far into a Cold War scenario before and the massive historical inaccuracies are making me sick.

Yes, that + the lacking of some important events + adding full functionality of the modernworld changes to cold war was the main objective of this mod. But I saw so little interest in it I haven't even began, In fact I consider it a dead project since as you can see I got very little response to it.

Not to mention I had planned to continue events into the 90's but Hullus End of an Era Mod does well enough there...

I think this is a great idea due to the lack of historical events in the vanilla game, if this is still underway you should add when Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was shot down by the USSR on September, 1st 1983, as it created some of the highest tension during the cold war (Besides the Cuban missile crisis). please Let me know if this mod is still development.

I believe that there are mistakes in the conflict South Africa - Angola
maybe BG have confued the riots in SW Africa (Namibia), with the beginning of the conflict in reality began in the 70s (if I don't worng too )

No, there was a war between South Africa and Angola, supported by Cuban, Soviet troops and Namibian rebels.
