History VideoGame / ModernDayScenarioII

''Modern Day Scenario II'' is a popular ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronII: Doomsday'' modification that brings the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era video game to the TurnOfTheMillennium and the events of TheWarOnTerror. Currently in beta for Darkest Hour 1.03, it is one of the most extensive conversions of ''Hearts of Iron II'' undertaken, with dozens of new countries, hundreds of new technologies and thousands of new events, ministers, graphics and models.

* TheWarOnTerror: The game starts on 23 March 2003 with the US invasion of Iraq.

* AnonymousRinger: ''Extremely'' averted. Every nation on Earth is present (aside from micronations like Liechtenstein and the Vatican), with numerous projects by fans and modders in order to attempt to make their ministerial cabinets, events and military leaders as accurate as possible

* GreyAndGreyMorality: Obviously, [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment and that is all that will be said]]
* MiddleEasternCoalition: The Islamic Alliance, a third alliance replacing the European Union (which in turn replaced the Comintern and will be partly merged with the Coalition of the Willing into UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}), which rather peculiarly seems to be led by the Shiite Iran and can consist of both Sunni and Shiite nations(The mod implies that it may be an inferred EnemyMine against the US and Israel through).

* NoCampaignForTheWicked (Regardless of your view on who is "the wicked", this trope will be averted, seeing as it is following the ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIron'' tradition of allowing players to take command of virtually any nation on Earth)
* RealLifeWritesThePlot (Played with, while most events of the 21st century are accurately portrayed, it goes into alternate history with the Orange Revolution causing a Civil War in Ukraine and Romania going to war with Moldavia)
* TankGoodness
* TheWarOnTerror (The game starts on 23 March 2003 with the US invasion of Iraq.)
* WorldWarIII (In this case, between the UsefulNotes/ShanghaiCooperationOrganisation and UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}, starting around 2008-9.)
* TurnOfTheMillennium (Though the game is planned to extend to the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2050s]] or so.)

* GreyAndGreyMorality: Obviously, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement and that is all that will be said]]

* ArabSpring: Through this isn't in the original mod for HOI2 since it was released before 2011, the latest version of Darkest Hour contains some events related to the Middle East revolutions in Egypt, Libya and Syria. The original product itself had a fantasy scenario where radical Islamist groups(including Al-Quada in Egypt) seize power due to blowback against a hypothetical US attack on Iran in the mod itself.
