1895 Italian Invasion of Abyssinia - mini campaign [Dropbox download available]

[W4lth3r]

Hello!

After giving up my first ahistorical Italo-Ethiopian War 1.5 attempt over one year ago, I have now created an actual 1895 Italian invasion of Abyssinia campaign. I learned more about scripting and all that fun stuff and have created a mini-campaign that walks along the historical lines but makes some changes for gameplay reasons.

You can find the mod in this dropbox folder for download:

On one side there is Italy in Eritrea and Italian Somalia, with a strong economy and heavy weapons. On the other side you have Ethiopia (Bolivia in the game since there is no Ethiopia and the flags are at least similar) with many local defenders and partisan support. Additionaly, Russia keeps up good relations with Ethiopia and sends economic support plus some troops. France and the UK are also present in the area and will intervene if they feel that the Italians make too much progress and could threaten Djibouti and British Somalia. Finally, Germany has leased a Somalian island from Italy and may participate in the fight if Italy makes significant progress in Ethiopia.

The campaign runs from 01. Jan 1895 to 31. Oct 1896. 5 days per turn. Veteran difficulty recommended.

By the way, I changed some combat mechanics. Compared to vanilla, Artillery deals more damage plus reduces morale stronger instead of de-trenching for example. For 1895 I wanted a different feel of the combat than 1914.

If someone is interested in adding some flavour in form of events, decisions or images for notifications, please let me know.
I have limited this part (especially decisions) due to time restrictions.

Looks interesting, and I hope it does get completed so everyone can play it!

I mean it is playable. And the download is available.
You can imagine it like a fresh Paradox game without the DLCs (not Imperator Rome though, more like CK3)


Development from my side is halted now as I started a new job that is VERY time intensive.
