Before I embark on attempting this, some questions.
1. Is it possible/ feasible with the editor and .csv tables at our disposal? and
2. Where would I begin? ie:Map, OOB's, tech trees, unit types.
3. Is anyone modding scenarios at the moment?

thanks.

1. Yes,
2. I would start with modyfing the map and consts.csv file.

I'm following doom's modding tutorial and seeing how far I can get...
here is a 1st thought regarding unit types.
infantry division => as is: standard unit in game
infantry corps => as is: slower moving, higher defensive value (incorporates machine gun at higher tech levels)
Motorised division => cavalry, quick,(loose ZOC), low offensive and defensive value
Motorised corps => not used
Panzer Division => tanks, less distance strength than current game
Panzer corps => Artillery, less mobile, firing range linked to tech levels
Airborne => not used
Air Division => Recon Balloons, no attack strength, no defensive strength, restricted movement
Air Army => fighters.
Strat Bombers => bombers.
naval units remain as is, with values reflecting 1914-1918 era

any thoughts before I start modding the consts.csv file? (lesson 2)

Remember that now we don't have air div and air army only, fighters and tact bombers

i was just quoting from the consts.csv spreadsheet. I thought it still called up units as that...but same essentially applies, fighters-balloons; tac-fighters-fighters
