  • Compatible with 1.10.x and all DLCs. WTT, although not required, is strongly recommended to play with this mod to enjoy the mod fully.
  • Historical AI on is strongly recommended. Turn it off at your own risk.
  • 1939 scenario is still largely untested due to time limitation. Do not play it on Ironman mode.

Eight Years' War of Resistance started off as a mod that aims to slightly adjust the Asian Theater of World War II, but eventually grown into an overhaul mod that focus on the region of East Asia and South East Asia. This is a renewed release of the project. The mod aims to create an in-depth, historical, polished and fun experience for you to enjoy.



New historical nations are added in the Asia along with unique skins, events, focus trees, decisions, unique tech and dynamic news interface. Asian majors, namely China and Japan, have been reworked extensively. More extensive and historical focus trees are added along with new advisors, events, and decisions. A great amount of new graphics are added, and efforts are made to ensure the icons have a quality and style similar to the vanilla ones.

Playability

◆ Current Nations w/ National Focuses:
　 – Japan, China, Communist China, Sinkiang, Indochina, Mongolia, Manchukuo, East Hebei A.C.
　　 (Will be Collaborationist China later)
◆ Current Nations w/o completely unique National Focuses but are playable and have flavors:

　 – There are a couple unfixable broken tooltips and news event locs. Does not affect gameplay.

Unique Skins & Tech Variants
For most warlords and Japanese client states, new custom skins and tech are added, adding more flavor to the game. Most of these are even available without Waking the Tiger DLC!

Ideology
This mod adds a new ideology Socialism. The ideology has its own political advisers and political decisions!

Supply Condition and Inflation
This mod add in a new mechanic Supply Condition to represent war exhaustion. Your infrastructure, divisions, occupation, factories and stability will all affect your supply condition. And it will affect your war support and several army stats. Along with supply condition, there's also a Inflation mechanic for all countries. Inflation occurs when stability is too low for your trade law.

Partisans
As communist china, a new Partisan mechanic is introduced. You can unlock it after completing the Partisan Offensive focus. It is represented with the yellow bands in the screenshots, and you can do various operations in those regions!

...and much more!



Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods?
A: There should be no compatibility issues with achievement-compatible mods or mods that has compatibility with all other mods. For other mods, the mod will NOT be compatible due to the number of files that are changed.

Q: Does this mod require Waking the Tiger DLC to work?
A: No. However, due to Paradox's ToS a fair amount of content from this mod are unavailable without the DLC. As a result, it is recommended to turn on the DLC for the full experience of the mod.

Q: Does a warlord still get a new focus tree when it takes over China?
A: Yes. 2 new focus trees are specifically designed for that purpose. One for nationalist warlord, one for communist warlord. This however, is unfortunately only available with Waking the Tiger DLC.

Q: Playing as Communist China, the nationalists kept declaring war on me!
A: Do the Contact Zhang Xueliang focus as quickly as possible. That will block the nationalists from directly attacking by setting up tacit truce with them (represented as a DMZ in the game.)

Q: Playing as Nationalist China, the communists stole my divisions/kept coming back!
A: The cracking down on partisan decision is supposed to mitigate, not eradicate the partisans. To do that, you will have to defeat them first. The defection is supposed to make the war more challenging and scare you a little. In reality, players have reported it as not that difficult and take at most up to 2 years to finish the war.
