The Beta-01 of the Fallout mod for Hearts of Iron 2 (originally announced in April 2006) is out:<blockquote>The mod is well on track to becoming a very polished and complete science fiction conversion for HOI2DD:A. In fact, even though this release is a Beta, it is very playable and already has a huge amount of custom content.
Key Features
- A complete new, sci-fi setting based on the Fallout role playing computer games.
- Complete new tech tree. Much of it with new graphics.
- Completely new interface. This includes all tech screens, load screens, main interface, new terrain and battle graphics, and custom skins for many nations. (Remaining nations will have custom skins added in Beta-02).
- Lots of fun event chains and random events.
- Four new races: Humans, Ghouls, Mutants, Robots, each with its own advantages, techs, units and disadvantages.
- Every nation is customised and playable.
- Completely new units and brigades with unique stats and graphics: land, sea and air.
- New graphics for all Land and Sea units. (Air units will have new graphics in Beta-02).
- New economic and province control model suiting the Post Apocalyptic background.
- Player welcome events explaining the game background, and further player welcome events for each playable nation.
- Custom AI. (This will be further refined in future releases.)
- Plenty of humorous pop culture references in the same light hearted spirit as the original games.
- New in-game sounds (used without permission, I am waiting for a reply to my PM to the creator).</blockquote>Link: HoI 2 Fallout mod.
