[GLOBE] Improved Nations Mod

[MKSheppard]

Terror site is terror site, it cannot be changed. However, it is possible to make a new alien mission where crash/landing site contains civilians dependant on the terrain.

TFTD however had unique terror site locations -- ship sites and port sites.

Just in case, be aware that your file contains some hidden "tab" inside

As they are exclusively included in "blank lines", it works well anyway

But you could meet problems in the future... (or not...  )

A question : how do you think you will deal with new total funding being about twice as big as original funding ? I mean (as someone already noticed), this could have a great impact in whole game, don't you think so ?

When i downloaded this mod i simply halved all the funding numbers, so initial funding is rougly the same as before. Yet this leads to some poor countries have funding like $1000 or $3000, im quite satisfied with the mod

[Aldorn]

Ok, so you confirm there are no issue anymore regarding negative numbers and co
Thanks for info

Negative numbers? No, i didnt see see anything like this in my version.

Sheppard, may i leave my version with included russian translation here?

Starting a new game, on Veteran.
I have over 13 mln $ in my treasury.
Surely it's not the same level of funding?

[MickTheMage]

Oh well, you forgot my little country - just below Poland, near Czech Republic, Austria etc. I think I manage set the label on the right spot, but as of the other numbers i am not sure. So i am doing a little modification for myself, but can somebody tell me please, if I have the numbers right? Thx.

[Warboy1982]

if you enable debug in the geoscape you can actually see the country borders, and the numbers we use just happen to correspond with the same exact numbers on google maps, so you can use that to get a good reference point.

[MickTheMage]

Thank you Warboy1982! Now, it looks good! Sadly without capital city, because it is too close to Vienna and the labels cover each other.

I tweaked the mod before starting the game, reducing all funding by half.

[Human Ktulu]

[MickTheMage]

for MKSheppard - it looks like i am today in translating mood so here is .rul with added Slovakia and translated countries.

Is this going to be upgraded soon? The funding is far too high as it is now, and I don 't feel like balancing it myself - I hate reinventing the wheel...

[niculinux]

Interesting, may be implemented the possibility to regain back support from the nations that withdraw the projects aftrr having singed a pact with ufo?

PS: you should modify funding, in vanilla you only get $6M funding at start, with this mod I get $12M. Also consider that even if you lower this back to $6M, the game will still be easier with this mod, because when you loose a country it will be much less a hit to your funding with so much little countries. To balance that, you could somehow make it easier for the Aliens to infiltrate some of the smaller countries, for example (or all of them), so that you will get roughly the same game difficulty in general, but with more steps towards defeat...
