Hello everyone, I am starting a new let's play as the United States of America in the mod Total War: 1942, for Rome: Total War and Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion (naval battles won't work in the original game, and they are only for custom and historical battles - but everything else works in both versions,) this is a personal modification of the mod and not the official 2.01 release.

History:

I did join the official team (Dagovax Sirrianus (the creator of most things in the mod) and Saloth-Sar (the creator of the campaign-map of the whole world) and I did in 2019 make all the 202 quotes - where I replaced RTW vanilla quotes and over 40 authors with the WW2 dito's - I did also add some garrisons to the map of the WW2-campaign and I did the faction descriptions of all the factions except the Spanish State.

The original 1942-mod has had a few different releases. On May 02 2019 the first beta 1.0 released and it included every faction and the WW2 campaign, except the Spanish State. In August that same year Dagovax implemented the final faction the Spanish State to the mod. He also included new units for a bunch of factions. In November of 2019 the version 1.3 was released adding an improved WW2 campaign map and some other stuff. After this release the mod wouldn't be officially updated until June 2021 - when Dagovax released the latest Version 2.0 and it's patch named 2.01.

The 2.0/2.01 version added an entire new smaller European Campaign, at least five new units, it added custom settlements/cities in battle for the Germans, the French, the Italians including two of the capitals - Paris and Berlin. Looking exactly like in real life and based on real photos - he also made an African town and a Japanese town - the African town is in use by areas in Africa and by Turkey on the map, while the Japanese Town if used is for Asia but I'm not sure.

Issues: The 2.01 version had a WW2-campaign which unfortunately would crash a few turns into it, and unfortunately no matter how many times you'd restart it it will still continuously CTD (crash to desktop) at the same time and place - rendering at least the WW2 Main Campaign unplayable in it. The smaller European might be more stable but I cannot confirm this.

Unreleased earlier version of 2.0:

I did receive an earlier version of 2.0 back in January of 2020, a version that had a relatively stable WW2 campaign map. I even played an entire German campaign in it which I did lose finally in December of 2020 - of course it could still crash randomly before and after battles or in battles, but it happened randomly, and whenever it crashed on the map I was able to continue it and didn't have the same crash again - allowing me to continue to play the campaign until the end. If a battle crashed I would be forced to play it again but usually the crash never happened twice in the same battle. This version that I did play had received some personal modifications by me.

WW2 Submod of October 2021:

I've improved the version mentioned above and added all the new units and projectiles from version 2.01 to it, I've also added planes and tanks to every faction so that no faction will be underpowered due to lacking planes or tanks - but the factions will still be severely weaker than the main powers due to having fewer armies and less regions. But all the armies can now fight in battle. I've changed the numbers of the mod to use the maximum units - this means that old huge had 80 units in a regiment while now large has 120, and huge has 240 - while normal has 60 and small now have 30 - Large Unit Size is as such more numerous than old huge now.

I've improved the map by adding independent factions to South America, improved the armies of China (both Chinese factions,) of Soviet and of India - no more steamrolling for Germany in the West against Soviet - or Japan in Asia against everybody, the action points have been maxed out so no more slow campaigns where you can hardly move in a turn (a turn is half a month in time passed,) and instead armies will be able to move vast distances each month in this WW2 campaign set in 1942 - finally this version has all the German Custom Settlements (Town, Large Town, City and Large City,) in use and the only city missing was the then unfinished capital of Berlin which sadly isn't in this version.

All the factions in the game do have the German architecture. Had I known how to port custom settlements for RTW then I would have wanted the French for the Allies, the Italian for some of the Axis and for Soviet, and possibly the African-one for the Turks - and if it's playable the Japanese town for the Asian factions. Sadly only the German cities were made in this version - and while I can improve it I lack any skills conserning cities in Rome: Total War.
