@ DCoder:
A patcher is a good idea.
But I changed lots of stuff and I dunno where what byte is I changed...
comparing should help... I'll see.

And thanks for that hex adress.
I found the procedure which builds the loading screen and I started modifying it.

@ AlliedG:
You may have read that I was only able to make the game list up a new country and to load its flag.
I'm still working on the rest it's not an easy job.

If you don't like the quality gimme your eMail and I'll send the pictures in bmp format if you want.

Stuff like baseunit isn't a problem:
The new country (TestCountry) is on ThirdSide that means base unit is YMCV.
If I was to add a side that would be a problem, yes. But I'm just adding a country.

I think it's a hack because I modified (hacked) the exe file.
If you make a no-CD-crack it's also modifying the exe - it's not a mod, but a hack.
No mod modifies the game's exe file, so this can't be a mod.

And why should it be illegal?
Modders modify the ini files, mix files etc.
Why should it be more bad to modify the exe? It's just a file.
