➤ Here is the mod that is now independant, Historical Songs Decisions: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3697330674

1. Introduction

✪ This mod features historical speeches (arranged with musics) available through decisions from 1936 to 1945.

Currently, the mod features all 99 original speeches/broadcasts, including 70 of them arranged with music. More than 8 hours of audios. The duration of most decisions is between 1 and 5 minutes. Their duration appears in their title in game. The 26 covered countries are the following: France, Vichy France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, USA, USSR, Poland, New Zealand, People’s Republic of China, Republic of China, Romania, Nationalist Spain, Republican Spain, Finland, Norway, Greece, Austria, Portugal, Turkey, Croatia, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Several decisions requiere DLCs.

☛ Executing a decision triggers an audio file that plays in game. ☛ Decisions become visible and available under scripted conditions (designed to match as closely as possible historicity and authenticity). Note: if you diverge from the historical path, some speeches may not be available. ☛ Speeches can only be listened once. ☛ Those decisions have no effect whatsoever on gameplay and have no cost. ☛ Subtitles in all languages are given in tooltips.

[h1][b]➤ AIMED FOR A START IN 1936 WITH HISTORICAL NATIONAL FOCUSES ON[/b][/h1]

We recommend starting the game in 1936 in order to enjoy all speeches. If you start in 1939 nonetheless, you will miss a lot of speeches and you'll begin the game with a couple of anachronies. In a general way, the more you are connected to the history, the more speeches you will benefit. ⚠ If historical focuses are set OFF, it would cause several unknown and unintended distorsions and anachronies.

✎ All speeches are clean from racist or anti-semitic references.

✎ The idea behind this mod is taken from @vpl300’s “Decisions: Speeches Audio” mod. However no audio file whatsoever was taken from his mod. We started all over again. The four main differences between our mod and his are:

• in this mod, the decisions do not influence the gameplay in any way (the speeches have no effects and do not cost any political power): they’re just for immersion.
• full subtitles in all languages.
• a different UI design.
• our speeches are noticeably longer.
• this mod includes : musical speeches specially arranged with copywright free musics.

✎ Don’t trigger speeches more than once at a time or they will stack and become inaudible.

2. Mod’s architecture

There are two kinds of speeches:

• MAJOR speeches, listenable by all nations.

• MINOR speeches, available only for the nation you’re currently playing (or for a very limited number of nations, like neighbors, puppets, or countries at war with).

► Consequently, 2 different categories appear in game:

• NATIONAL speeches (corresponding to the nation you’re currently playing). Speeches are available for 30 days and can be triggered once. Once triggered, they appear during 30 days so you have time to read the subtitles.

• FOREIGN speeches (corresponding to all other nations). Foreign speeches are available once for 30 days. A little flag before the titles shows the origin of the speech.

3. Recommended settings

♫ Audio settings: Lower the music to 25%. Pause the music when listening to the speeches.

⚠ A known non-intended effect in multiplayer sessions is that a minor decision launched by a player will be heard by all other players. Currently, I am unable to change this issue.
