Civilian Casualties

World War II claimed an estimated 70–85 million lives — the majority of them civilians. This mod tracks that human cost in real time, nation by nation, directly in your Decisions menu.

• Historically calibrated — every rate is grounded in real WWII data, from the Warthegau expulsions to the Soviet home-front famine

• 8 tracked death sources — occupation policies, partisan reprisals, conscription famine, war famine, expulsions, combat zone casualties, strategic bombing and nuclear strikes

• Occupation Law Death Rates — Harsher laws mean more civilian deaths. These are the base yearly rates, before ideology scaling:

Occupation Policy	Yearly Base Rate
All friendly and autonomy laws	No deaths
Secret / Local Police	~0.05% / year
Foreign Civilian Oversight	~0.1% / year
Military Governor	~0.15% / year
Forced Labour	~0.5% / year
Harsh Quotas	~1.0% / year
Martial Law	~1.3% / year
Brutal Oppression	~4.0% / year

• Ideology matters — fascist and communist regimes inflict and tolerate far heavier losses than democracies

• Wartime Toll — 8 escalating national spirits as your population losses mount (2% → 50%+), scaled by regime resilience

• Demographic Crisis — peace doesn't end the suffering: up to 12 years of economic penalties scale with what your nation lost

• Preserved the Nation — end a war with minimal losses without capitulating and earn a lasting reward

• Emergency War Relief — spend 200 PP + 20 CP to ease the crisis, once per war

• World Statistics — live global death toll, civilian and military, with a breakdown of the great powers, each marked with its national flag

• 9 game rules — every single mechanic can be toggled off before you start

Everything lives in the War Losses decision category. Hover the decisions for a full breakdown of the losses you suffered — and the losses you caused. Population is genuinely removed from states: harsher occupation laws, deeper resistance and longer wars all mean a heavier toll.

Recommended Add-on

Pairs perfectly with Captured Generals: Execute or Recruit — interrogate and execute the enemy commanders you capture in battle, or turn them to your own side. When both mods are active, executed generals automatically count toward your military losses and "caused" statistics. Fully optional — both mods work on their own.

Load order: keep Civilian Casualties above Captured Generals: Execute or Recruit in your playset.

Compatibility

• Disables achievements, like any mod that changes game files

• Does not overwrite any vanilla files — works with almost everything

• Designed for vanilla singleplayer. It can also run under total overhaul mods (Kaiserreich, The New Order, etc.) if you place Civilian Casualties below the overhaul in your playset — but don't expect a flawless run: statistics for countries and ideologies the overhaul renames may be incomplete

• New campaign recommended: works mid-save, but statistics only count from activation
