BlackICE is using some work from this mod (with credits) and many more features. You can find it here: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1137372539

Thanks again for your work Thinking_Waffle!

Yes I mind, because most of them are contribution from modder friends.

Mind if i use Pierre Ryckmans portrait for my own mod? You would be given the credit of course.

Best mod for belgium so far!

Why not "Le Coq belge qui kot kodaaaaak à nouveau" ?

Something with Poland could be pretty interesting, maybe do something based off of the Sabaton song 40 to 1. Poland has been pretty neglected in most mods and it would be neat to see something for the nation inbetween two super powers

thank you I have not much to do with Belgium, now i could refine stuffs here and there and arrest Van Den Bergen and Van Overstraeten because they are too royalist/anti communist (as almost the entire belgian army) otherwise I consider this mod as finished until a new dlc add an interresting mechanic. I will then maybe add something. Of course any suggestion may give me new ideas but right now I am focus on the axis minors and more specifically Vichy France, Then Croatia and Bulgaria.

Have fun.

@Thinking_waffle Thx the new map solved it. Keep up the amazing work!
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 3 aug. 2017 la 13:26 
considering the number of changes of black ice and the fact that an older version is already in there in a bad form (also I expected a thank you) it's 100% certain that's not my fault as I never modified that kind of things.
IcyPone 3 aug. 2017 la 12:56 
I'm using the BlackIce mod as well so is there something conflicting there causing a crash?
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 2 aug. 2017 la 16:54 
Are you using only my mod. Because I never touched naval invasion stuffs.
IcyPone 2 aug. 2017 la 16:18 
I might be running into a problem with your mod. Whenever I try to plan a naval invansion it crashes to the desktop
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 23 iul. 2017 la 19:18 
@Willem III don't ask me for the map, thanks the finnish kaiserreich map maker with a name nobody can spell without copying it. I collaborate with the KR team about Flanders-Wallonia so it was a mutually beneficial project but I can't create a new map like that.

@D357ruction Any mod adding states will conflict with this mod. There is a version without new states/canal for that. I can't really do anything else without more information.
D357RUCTION 22 iul. 2017 la 11:32 
Hello, I enjoy the mod but for some reason my game crashes at some point in the game. Are there known conflicts with specific mods?
Willem III 21 iul. 2017 la 4:26 
Hey there! I am working on an alternative history mod in which the United Kingdom of the Netherlands still exists. I was wondering if I can use some of your map code because I think I can use it very well. Of course when I release the mod I will thank you and put a link to your mod on the page.

And besides that I have to say that I have played your mod extensively and I had alot of fun doing it. You've done some good research and delivered quality work. An inspiration for my own mod ;)

Thanks!
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 16 iul. 2017 la 23:15 
This is very very wrong and should not happen at all.

Are you using another mod that is changing something to Léopoldville and Central Congo?

Is there a focus I'm not seeing to unite them together?
SnowHazardinator 15 iul. 2017 la 18:35 
It was like that in the beggining of the game, I will try get a a few screenshots to demonstrate
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 15 iul. 2017 la 5:53 
oh, that was unexpected what I really want to know is "how did you ends up in that situation?"
I will ponder it to change the rules a bit.
SnowHazardinator 15 iul. 2017 la 4:13 
As Belgium, I can't use the focus tree where you industrialize the African areas as I need to own all three territories or my puppet needs all 3, but I have 2 and they have 1 and I can't figure out how to either give him all or take them from him.
Jozay 19 iun. 2017 la 7:32 
Cool :) Merci d'avance !
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 19 iun. 2017 la 6:58 
Ah pas encore, j'avais ça en tête mais comme je changeais et j'ajoutais du contenu, je me suis dis qu'il vallait mieux fixer ça une bonne fois pour toute ( il y a déjà un fichier pour une version française mais il est très incomplet). Bon maintenant je devrais sérieusement y penser. Remarque que la version française ne sera pas une traduction directe de la version anglaise puisque je peux me permettre d'y ajouter des tournures plus littéraires et des effets de style plus subtils que dans la langue de Shakespeare.

Voilà.
Jozay 19 iun. 2017 la 6:50 
Located in french?
Doctor Red 7 iun. 2017 la 17:58 
If you're worried about sources being a timesink (like that thesis) I'm more than willing to assist you on that!
Hunter-C NL 7 iun. 2017 la 14:45 
so both The Netherlands and Belgium had so kind of tanks (small tanks and only a few but still they had some)
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 7 iun. 2017 la 13:56 
Well I would be against that as contrary to Belgium which had a small but consistent use of small tank destroyer and tank platoons in the late 30's, the dutch had none of that.

As a side question with the arrival of licences, should I change to fighter 1 to the Fairey Fantôme (4 built) or keep the british Hurricane (partially imported, a number of them being produced by Avions Fairey in Belgium)
Hunter-C NL 7 iun. 2017 la 13:39 
I would love to have The Netherlands already researched and even have some tanks units even if it is only the great war tanks ( or class 1st light tank and hoping that somebody does that in a mod ). :steamhappy:
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 7 iun. 2017 la 11:56 
PART 1

On my side, well I really begin to feel that I have done everything I could. My main concerns now being the balance with the addition of the Belgian Congo as its own autonomous region. I may add an event that would offer the player the possibility to annex or play the Congo if Belgium capitulates in order to allow the continuation of the campaign even while everything seems gloomy.

The Congo tree could also be reworked in order to be more realistic (read difficult) situation because the differences in languages and ethnicities, the isolation of some areas should slow down a number of processes, especially manpower recruitement.
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 7 iun. 2017 la 11:56 
PART 2

You are not the first one to advocate for a joint Benelux mod (the lux part being rather insignificant on that matter. I did an effort over months in order to achieve this. I have sent a thesis I have found on dutch defense in the late 30's but that's a long source to exploit. Especially considering that it can be summarized to: too little too late. In fact the Dutch east indies forces had tanks while the dutch army in Europe only had tankettes (the same model used by Belgium to make the level 1 tank destroyers.
Doctor Red 7 iun. 2017 la 10:37 
Actually, a combination mod of the two would be the best! added states for both Belgium and Netherlands, bigger, better more indepth Focus Trees! I hope it'll work out!
Doctor Red 7 iun. 2017 la 10:31 
This one is way more fleshed out than the Dutch version. I love it. I wish the same level of commitment could be shown for the Dutch one.
Hunter-C NL 25 mai 2017 la 9:21 
I also hope that he will update the dutch lion raoras again because you go very deep into the belgium army from that time. I hope patchie will do the same only if he will go half as deep it ill be a wonderfull mod. But because I didn't excepted it I asked it to you. If you think he will update soon than my question can be forgotten.
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 25 mai 2017 la 9:16 
For the Netherlands well there is the dutch lion roars again by patchie which was my starting point. I hope that he will update the mod again. He contacted me recently so there is hope for that.

I won't do Luxemburg because it's horrible to try to find content for a country with 13 officers, 255 armed gendarmes and 425 soldiers

If it do anything that would be to emfeeble luxemburg militarily.
Hunter-C NL 25 mai 2017 la 8:26 
Can you also make one for The Netherlands or Luxemburg?
Glosur 24 mai 2017 la 20:55 
Awesome! I will play it soon!
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 24 mai 2017 la 20:42 
The description is deleted after every update.... -_-

Well mainly added new communist content for Belgium and a playable belgian congo, also some bug got fixed and the map was updated to have more accurate borders and an historical canal (the same update as in kaiserreich as I lead the KR map maker in order to fix Belgium)
Last detail Flanders and Wallonia got less generic trees

Otherwise look at the screenshots.
Glosur 24 mai 2017 la 20:32 
What changed in the recent updates?
Thinking_waffle  [autor] 24 mai 2017 la 16:54 
Mmh yeah I knew about it I may add it in the future but it was mostly due to flemish pressure against french "involvment" into belgian affairs. It's a complex matter to mod. I prefered to avoid it at first in order to focus on the opposition "neutral policy" or "union against fascism" as one you are in the Allies you don't follow a neutral policy de facto. So I prefered to put it into the player's hands but it has indeed potential, especially now that most of the content is settled (even if the belgian congo now bring its lot of choices and possible developpements.

Thanks for the idea, it's always appreciated.
King_George_VI 24 mai 2017 la 16:23 
Researching the background to the Fall of France in a book for personal research, I came across something that I thought might make for a unique event you could add... What about King Léopold III's announcement of Belgium's 'Politique d'Indépendance' in 1936 where they abandoned the alliance with France? Perhaps fire an event prompted by the king suggesting the treaty be revisited and providing two choices--one that would increase relations with France (and/or secure a non-aggression treaty or something else with France) or, the historical path, choose to go it alone which would slightly decrease relations with France and possibly increase relations with Germany (and/or add another modifier of sorts).

Just another suggestion.

Cheers
