What's Next? Superman: Red Son Rework
I am currently working on a full scale rework of Superman: Red Son. Here's a sneak peak of what I've got planned.
-Replace the Stalin path of the Soviet focus tree with a Superman path.
-Address issues with the paranoia mini-game in which Superman could end up purging Superman (D'oh).
-Import the Brainiac event from DC Universe, but with a spin specifically for Red Son. When playing with both mods, the Red Son version will be triggered instead of the DC Universe version.
-Rework Lex Luthor and the USA to more intentionally build towards a true end game showdown between Superman and Lex.
-Enhance synergy with DC Universe, specifically in regards to Thymescira, Brainiac and the US civil war event.
The current version will be brought up to speed as much as possible with the rework without editing the Soviet Union's history file or focus tree to preserve compatibility. It will then be released separately as a 'Legacy' version similarly to how I've have done with Hearts of Marvel and DC Universe. The current release of Superman: Red Son will recieve the whole rework.
Got suggestions for the Superman: Red Son Rework? Let me know below!

*Update* SPECTRE/New Villains
New In His Majesty's Secret Service
- A Deal with the Devil & Villains for Hire: SPECTRE may be given sanctuary and Villains may be recruited via decisions. This can be done by any nation with an Intelligence Agency, except the USA, UK, and USSR. These decisions are available to the AI. Act quickly or the AI will recruit them (usually after 3-4 years). Once one country has recruited a villain or given SPECTRE sanctuary, the decision is removed for all countries. SPECTRE Operatives: Villains:
- Ernst Stavro Blofeld

- Dominic Greene
- Raoul Silva
- Mr. Hinx
- Primo
- Francisco Scaramanga (The Man with the Golden Gun)
- Oddjob
- Jaws
- Baron Samedi
- Bawma
*Update* Villains for Hire
New in His Majesty's Secret Service: Villains for hire
​
The man with the golden gun may be recruited via decision by any nation with an Intelligence Agency, except the USA, UK, and USSR. This decision is available for all nations including the AI. Act quickly or the AI will recruit him, usually after 3-4 years. Once one country has recruited him, the decision is removed for all countries.
​
This concept of villains for hire will be expanded upon and will also be the basis for SPECTRE in HMSS. This system gives the player an opportunity to recruit the villains regardless of which country they are playing (besides the US, UK, and USSR). But also, if the player is playing as the US, UK, USSR, villains will pop up in random countries across the globe. No two playthroughs with HMSS will be the same.
​
Spot where the villains end up, each give the nation that recruits them a unique national spirit. See an example of this on the steam page:

​
For now it is just the man with the golden gun, but expect more soon, Oddjob, Jaws and SPECTRE are on the way.

*Sneak Peak* His Majesty's Secret Service
Hey all,
I'm taking a short break from tech trees and comic books. I've begun development on a little MI6 mod based on Ian Flemming's Bond novels as well as the films, games, etc.
Hope to have more to share soon!
What is the best way to make my tech tree mod compatible with major mods such as RT56?
Has anyone had experience adapting their tech tree mods for compatibility with major mods? I've poked around a bit and everything I've found suggests this is impossible sans a complete rebuild for each compatible mod.

Update is ready early, enjoy!

Hey all,
Here's a look at what you can expect in the next update of ACRTT. I've added a 'First Contact' expansion to the engineering tree, new special projects, new icons, and a few surprises not pictured here. There is still more work to be done (as you can see). I am hoping to have this out tomorrow.
As always, drop your suggestions below!
