Dear all,

this mod was designed for the past version of HOI4 (1.10) As everybody know, NSB and 1.11 will introduce big changes for the overall game as well as for the East Front and USSR. These changes will require a complex study to be eventually integrated in a future mod. For this reason Soviet Plus will NOT be upgraded to 1.11.x version. Eventually a "SovietPlus 2.0" will emerge in a future. I want to thanks you all for playing my mod and for all the suggestions, feedback and contributions.

This Mod is a complete Overhaul of the Soviet Union. The aim is to depict the initial struggle of this country to reach a decent level of industrialization, the critical initial months of the war and the huge effort to stop the german Army and push it back up to Berlin. You can better enjoy the mod playing with historical focus on.

Warning: GER AI build better templates than vanilla and is very aggressive in the first months of Barbarossa. Caveat Emptor.

Some other changes

(Without any specific order)

• SOV AI finally builds decent INF and ARM templates!

• Added a lot of political advisors (most of them historically purged)

• Changed the traits of vanilla political advisors

• Changed the generic portraits with historical ones

• You cannot use absurdly ahistorical advisors

• The only two parties are the Soviet Communist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party

• Fixed some vanilla typos like "Debakrist for "Dekabrist", "Guerevich" for Gurevich" etc

• Added the two missing Field Marshals in '36

• Added the Fugas Class (minesweeper)

• Fixed the correct order of the Great Trials, and their historical outcomes

• Rokossowsky purged and then rehabilitated

• Finland never give up Karjala without fighting (if AI controlled)

• Revised the jet names (and pics) and added pics for rocket interceptors (BI-1)

• You can relocate industries from more states (if you have the PP)

• FIN goes to war for Karjela when SOV start losing terrain after Barbarossa (5% capitulation)

• SOV AI has no hardocoded block on reasearch by dates but related to stored equipment

• Just for flavor, added two regiments of marine fusiliers in Leningrad and Sevastopol

• Removed the STRAT bombers (the first flight of Pe-8 was in december '36), SOV has the tech anyway

• Added the T-35 tech (first built in '33 , but too few to appear in any template )

• .. and more..

A great THANKS to ivanzionblue for great new Focus Icons !!

QA

Great Purge in 15 days??? The focus is only 15 days short, but it just starts a long (~14 months) period where all the major trials and some (random) flavor events occur, with a constant PP spending during all this time. Take it at the right time (not too early, not too late)

Purge officers You may purge some Field Marshals and Generals or focus on lower level officers. I'm not sure the second is the best choice (even if the purged generals are quite good). Beware that Winter War does not cancel the purge penalties. They may be in effect when Barbarossa happens.

** How do I complete the 2nd Five-Year Plan?** Through Focuses and Decisions. You have two full years to complete the Plan. You don't want to make Comrade Stalin unhappy, do you?

** Why can I send just 2 divisions in Spain?** The Soviet intervention was limited, if you only count people. As a matter of fact, even two divisions are too much. But you have a focus to further support the Republicans

Where is Zhukov? He is a low level general in 1936. He will later appear, as long as other generals

Barbarossa is devasting Yes, it is. The Red Army has a terrible penalty for the first three months, and the german army could arrive at the gate of Moscow and Leningrad (as historically did). But the Soviet Union has all the resources to revert the tide.

How can I put Trotsky in charge? With this mod you can't, sorry.

Why Finland doesn't join Axis but starts a new war alone in 1941? Because joining axis may lead to strange AI behaviors, like moving there 2 hundreds GER division and depleting the main front..

Is this mod Ironman compatible? You can play Ironman, but you cannot get any Achievement

**Is this mod compatible with (... ) ** It should be compatible with anything that doesn't change the SOV events/focuses/ideas, but I cannot assure this. For sure it's compatible with graphics-only mod (Coloured Buttons, Coloured Airforce, More Division Icons etc.. )
