I've been playing Ultra Historical Mod. It's got some interesting things like an infantry equipment designer that lets you specify squad loadouts and company and batallion level support, and a refinery system for transforming coal, iron, and bauxite into steel and aluminum, along with separated synthetic rubber and synthetic oil systems. However, it does seriously nerf Japan by giving them a -25% production efficiency cap as part of their Zaibatsu spirit as well as -10% for their corporatist economic policy. I've struggled to expand the IJA, even just with more infantry divisions.
I use it to check grammar and spelling mostly. It can make an event if the prompt is specific enough but in my experience it still needs to be edited. Still, it's a good helper.
TNO would be a great mod if it didn't give you a game over screen after you've played as someone the devs don't like or if the guys who wrote the text spams didn't write like 14 year old trannies
Major mods/mod teams are invariably infested with trannies and commies who will always sacrifice fun and creativity for the sake of injecting their personal politics and worldviews.
Because trannies, commies and homosexuals are willing to do the actual work. Based and Redpilled morons are always too busy jerking off to interacial porn and argue on twitter.
Wrong. If you look at troony teams, they are never the creators. No, they infiltrate. They sidle up to members and stroke their ego for a moderator position, hire on cronies, then wait until the people who actually made the mod to get bored and leave or initiate a hostile takeover when their nepotistic tendrils have sunk in far enough. Half the troony leads don't even know how to code, they are just idea guys that have convinced people they are in charge.
Why don't right wingers beat them with actual skill and hard work? Right wing teams would be theoretically immmune to infiltration by trannies.
The sad truth is that your average "internet nazi" is a brain dead brownoid who has to be forced into work at gunpoint and is too busy sliding into troony dms to contribute anything aside of catty drama.

I have never met an internet nazi that has, or does work on a mod. Unless we are counting Tories and those odd religious parties from eastern Europe as nazis. Allegedly, someone who had a sympathy for francoism and someone else who sympathized with imperial Japan worked on a pretty major mod, but the lead dev found out and removed all of their work. It's not so much that authoritarians don't or can't do work, it's looks more like they just get found out are removed.
I just edit mods at this point that so they aren't as biased. Kaiserreich's Pelley no longer has -100% stability but his max is a low 40% when you do all stability focuses, not including stability increasing decisions. I've spent the last week trying to fenagle with Wallace's data without breaking the TNO election and bill system, if push comes to shove I'll just port the Pre-TT3 data into the build of Silicon Dreams but it might frick it up worse.
Demonstratably false, TNO is nothing but wall of text event spams and it's one of the most popular hoi4 mods. Cope.
People don't like TNO for the gay lore, they either play "My Flavor of Ideology" with Russia or they play "My Preferred Political Party" with America because everything else is boring. I like nation-building to an extent but I still need some kind of conflict to involve myself in for it to matter.

I haven't had similar results, I am always at 47 Senators in favor of the total segregation for transportation bill and I had 46 senators in my caucus, but a decent chunk of my support came from the Democrats. No room to negotiate on it either and it's happened multiple times on two separate playthroughs despite save scumming. It's frustrating seeing 37 of my 46 senators vote for a bill they should all want.

What? Your method was effective if you got 46 senators total. I developed my own strategy that I also posted, I got around 60 senators in my caucus before doing racism and losing 7. >I don't like being gamey to achieve victory, it's less satisfying.
Then you shouldn't play segregationist Wallace, other presidents are much easier. For me working hard to achieve my goals is much more rewarding than playing with no challenge.

There are measures I could have taken to boost Wallace's popular support, mainly losing Malaya, Madagascar, the Dominican invasion and the Philippines as Nixon. My problem comes from the fact the party is programmed to not support bills it should logically vote for and that it's very deliberate in doing so. I haven't played the new update, maybe that fixes some things but it's hard to try and justify the time investment.

there was /vst/no (later known as Minutes to Midnight) and it got infiltrated by them, i believe after most devs left it was only developed by this Brazilian troon "Franzeska" and his buttbuddies.
The biggest issue with right wing mods, having helped with Kasierreich: Dankest Hour, is most of the skilled coders in demand got very busy with real life needs. Such as planning out their career for the next decade, or dealing with concerns about if they should move around or not with the Ukraine war kicking off and internationally things obviously getting worse almost across the board.
Most of the remaining coders that did not retire due to real life needs went into Kasierredux, though there was some drama there as not everyone was a fan about how they had no quality control.
But honestly, at this point I need to focus on real life as well, I can't be spending my time modding Hoi4 when the world is about to blow up before my own house is in order.
Coding hoi4 is a joke, it's like "coding" in renpy or scratch, I did this stuff that when I was 16-17. It gets hard only when you have to do something innovative, which most mods don't do anyway
Personally I don't even call it coding. I have seen actual code for programs and paradox script is so laughably easy to understand. It literally is just laziness that stops people from making their own mod or editing some files.
Yeah, its really weird that hoi4 mod teams have massive amounts of people that don't do any actual coding. Just fricking around for a day in an already existing mod gives you a good idea of how to make stuff, but still there are a ton of people on mod teams that are only there to be idea guys and chat on discord. You'd think whoever is in charge of a mod team would just kick lazy morons like that out.
Most mod teams are pretty centralized. So usually you have higher ups just autistically debating the most minor shit in content proposals and shit.
And the few mods that don't do this are made by extremely small groups or horsefrickers, which have their own issues.

As in I meant in many cases the major devs or higher ups are kinda the reason why shit stagnates. Of course it's not helped that most HOI4 coding, even if simple, is still pretty time consuming. So shit really stagnates.

The Fire Rises.
the centerpiece of the mod is the Second American Civil War, which is preceded by a couple of smaller conflicts, most notably the Saudi Arabian Civil War. Once the Americans are out of the picture, Russia starts a war with NATO and China tries to take out Taiwan, which is protected by Japan and Australia. These wars are always guaranteed to happen, other major conflicts will depend on who wins which war. In one of their latest teasers they showed NATO going full globohomosexual in the Middle East.
it's definitely gonna be more interactive than MD (not a high bar tbh), but the ability to justify wars is off by default, so it won't be as flexible as something like EaW. Some of the devs are also pretty outspoken about disliking "quirky" content, so it's not in a direct competition with LaHL, for better or worse.

If you need an actual guide I can forward a few.
Yet another EAW update anyway highlights for me are Changelings using scorch the earth tactics if they are losing and moaaar content that expands on the "by blood alone" dlc, also the equivalent of having TOOZERS in-game as zebrica nations got alot of place holder TOOZER focus tree's that foreshadow where this guys are going.
MacArthur Enclave takes in refugees and either puts them in plantations, work camps or sends them for slave labor/human experiments to Chicago.
Technically some of them are free but are basically the lowest class in the autistic 4 tier racial purity hierarchy of MacArthur army base.
However the daughter of the leading officer is a bleeding heart humanist so she and her team of dipshits that got thrown to Montana due to reformism can try a coup to restore USA and cut off from actual Enclave. (This does lead to civil war). This path is also basically reformist Enclave bullshit from Enclave reborn in the main mod.
Of course you can also decide that Colonel tolerating mutant lovers, non-enclave "pure" people and actually allowing wastelanders to live is cringe and take over as purist Enclave. Then you start putting all wastelanders in concentration camps and mutie reservations at best and colonizing their land with Enclave veterans.
Is anyone interested in an interwar mod that starts off in 1919? Base will be magna Europa. Or is there not enough conflict going around in Europe to make an interesting mod at that time?
There really was not a lot of conflict to happening. Sure you had the Russian Civil war, the following polish-soviet war, the Chinese warlord armies, the Greeks and Turks were fighting, Hungary tried and failed to be a socialist country, Germany had a lot of fun fighting the communists and then intervening in the Baltic states, France, Britain, and Spain all had some minor colonial wars, the Saudis conquered Arabia, the united states had some fun bullying Latin America and Latin America occasionally shot each other. There are conflicts for sure, specifically in eastern Europe and Russia but not enough for a world war like scenario.
There is some weird fascination mods only having a ton of tiny wars instead of one big one. It's doable in hoi4, but you would need to be very upfront that not all nations are made equally and that some nations will not get content.

Note: If Daybreaker is the mother or protector variant she will use her Celestia name and her portrait will show that she still looks like before but she switched her aurora themed mane and tail for a more firey one, she also does not get a black sclera (dunno if they touched her appearance since the last time i played her just to cover my ass but those details should be there), While god empress gets bulky and goes all the way with the evil look, the story also changes for each variant, only god empress will decide to form kamikaze soldiers and in the lore side of things she would rather burn all bat ponies while the protector variant sends the entire bat pony race away from her continent, among many many other changes for each variant.
Note 2: Celestia (Base form) will be written by a single main developer in this year's entire continent rework, while Daybreaker will have a single different dedicated writter

>Daybreaker (empress protector, Empress Mother, God empress, all of them are fascism)
That's a bit silly. I get Empress Protector and Empress Mother since that's her being all about protecting her ponies, but God Empress is just her wanting to be worshipped. >Note 2: Celestia (Base form) will be written by a single main developer in this year's entire continent rework, while Daybreaker will have a single different dedicated writter
That's good to hear. Hopefully they have a lot of interaction with one another to keep things on the same page.

God Empress is helping her ponies even from dangers that are not even real, like inherent "darkness within bat pony kind", she goes insane and yes she wants to be worshiped, also her made up religion is all bullshit because she gets debuffs to things like research.
SHE still controls the entire Sun however so she has that going, imperium solem is one of the coolest focus ever.

HEY MODERATORS.
Can you add an exception for GR15 for this thread? I hate being banned for some screenshots with pony portraits and EaW is one of the most discussed mods in this thread.
Thank you for posting this but I will take it from here.
Hello /vst/ anons. It's been a while since we have a big teaser but here's the new sub ideology coming to TSF2.
Let's starts it off with Accelerationism
Accelerationism in Red Flood started as a pejorative, a negative label ascribed to movements by socialist theorists of the Second Internationale, attacking global phenomena for a myriad of reasons; from the Vpered faction attempting to "accelerate" Russia past capitalism directly into socialism, to those who critically support Ludendorff "accelerating" the collapse of capitalism, to the March on Rome and Fiume merely "accelerating" capitalist contradictions rather than addressing them. Still, the word became a badge of pride and vigor for many - although not all smeared by the moniker accepted the label - and by 1936 it is an accepted term. Generally united by ultramodernist values and technophilia, it includes movements that identify as right, left, and beyond such concerns.
Of course, while the term in-lore may have originated as an insult hurled by members of the Second Internationale, we cannot ignore the real world terminology; the actual ideology of accelerationism and the Red Flood one, while linked, are not a 1:1 copy. The ideology's name in Red Flood - in an out of lore context - comes from a variety of sources, ranging from Nick Land, who without Artaud would not have invented his own philosophy, to Benjamin Noys, who classified people like D'Annunzio and Marinetti as accelerationists in his coining of the term. However, it is important to note that neither the real life ideology of accelerationism nor the one expressed in Red Flood can be simplified to a mantra of "make thing bad so good thing happens."
The old Individual/Social/Stateless trio was a blunt division with a "this is a failstate for other paths" catch-all attached to it. The new subideologies better reflect the subtleties of the anarchist label, including beliefs and forms of government (or non-government) that are even more difficult to categorize on a left-right spectrum – something that the 1930s have in abundance.
A rather consistent ideology, VanSoc has mostly stayed the same since the beginning. Most of the work here has gone towards honing what exactly splits it from PopSoc, as well as fleshing out some models of governance that would previously be lumped into one of the other ideologies or just tossed into StateSoc.
The vanguard party model we are pretty familiar with starts as a current of dissent against the Spartakists. Of course, clarifying what Leninism and National Vanguardism (immediately evocative of National Bolshevism) are in a world without a recognizable Bolshevism was important to the rewrites.
Back when this mod first came out, this ideology was known as "Libertarian Marxism"— the only ideology to have the name Marxism in the title. As such, when deciding how best to rename it come 0.3.5, we decided that instead of focusing on a "Libertarian" vs "Authoritarian" split, it would be better to have the nature of the schism be the matter of how revolution is organized itself; a difference between a top-down, "Vanguardist" model or a bottom-up "Popular" one. Of course, this should not be confused as being a rebranding of evil vs good, or mean and repressive vs liberating and free; nor does Popular mean they enjoy an inherently larger amount of support.
PopSoc has been an obvious beneficiary of the TSF rewrites. The circumstances of this timeline mean that something more like Karl Kautsky's Orthodox Marxism and the radical left of the SPD is the “standard” idea of revolutionary socialism. Spartakism and Folk Socialism are the biggest flag-bearers of the Second International model. At the same time, two variants of syndicalism are here due to being too revolutionary for the Revisionists and too populist to be Vanguardists.
The Revisionist Socialism ideology is a bit of a misnomer at times. Does "revisionism" as a concept matter in the same way in Red Flood? Do the Vanguard Socialists count as revisionists in a sense? While we have thrown about loose working definitions such as "RevSoc classifies those against a class-based revolution", not all were happy; alas, due to lack of better classification, it has remained a catch-all for the less-Marxist socialisms, parties outside of the Second International that aren't accelerationists or vanguardists, and so on.

What used to be Social Democracy before the changes to Germany - and a better look at the term Social Democracy in general with a period lens - Progressivism sits on the leftmost flank of the liberal-democratic ideologies, OTL's Liberal Socialists sit next to democratic reformists and even applications of Catholic social teaching. The binding ties of "social, not socialist" still exist, even without the frankly ahistorical moniker of SocDem being applied.

This is probably one of the most recognizable slates to OTL, and one of the ideologies that has seen the least change over time. Objectivism was broadened into Libertarian Capitalism, and National Liberalism joined the fray, but for the most part, Liberalism has stayed in the same vein since the beginning. That is not to say that the mindset behind its usage has stayed the same though, as we have consistently been moving away from treating it as the boring, catch-all status-quo "slow" path repository. Who knew that Liberals can be fun too?

On the right flank of the democratic ideologies, Conservatism also had to be written properly to outline what is actually being conserved. While not as bad as Liberalism on the "boring junk" front, we certainly have had to re-evaluate exactly how we view things in order to breathe new life into the ideology and keep it from being overlooked as simply filler content. Despite the diversity in the nature of how to secure the order they want, the subideologies here are still explicitly respecting a democratic order, which separates them from some of those that follow.

Polyarchy replaces the old Right-Wing Authoritarian ideology name, which was both too restrictive and too vague. A large number of people who could fit into the ideology were not right wing, and the ideology name itself didn't actually describe the exact way that the government is run or the belief system behind it compared to all of the others. Still, a number of the subideologies here would qualify as right-wing, or at least vaguely conservative in character, while being less democratic than their cousins under Conservatism. The general character of the ideology is now more classified in the name itself; Polyarchy, or rule by many.

In contrast to Polyarchy, Despotism tends to emphasize a more centralized, authoritarian style of rule with a single focal point of power. It includes governments where the monarch or religious hierarchy exercises very real political power as the sole sovereign - regardless of limitations based on paper - to dictatorships with a more common touch. As well, there are some right-wing movements that haven't been subsumed into the accelerationist or reactionary camp, sitting on the fence neatly between two opposites.

And finally reactionary.
The content of the Reactionary ideology reflects a few trends in Red Flood. The failure of fascism to unite traditionalists and modernists under one flag is one of them, and the ostensible survival of the Russian Empire as an inspiration to others is another; not every Reactionary is a would-be fascist or a two-bit Tsarist however. The throughline between them all though is a wish for the clock to turn back, cleanly breaking with modernity, and as a result, there is a clearer dividing line between the traditionalist far-right and the less paleontological forms.

Modern day is just a bad concept for Hoi4. Might as well just make a dedicated Ukraine War mod since every other conflict doesn't even begin to make sense with mechanics
HOI4 is incapable of simulating WW2. It is, at best, an operation barbarossa simulator. That's it. D-Day, North Africa, the Pacific, Battle of Britain, the Atlantic. It simulates NONE of these properly. The only thing it does properly is let you kettle Germany or Russian armies Kursk style. That's it.
Why would there be a good modern day mod? HoI4 is for simulating total war between major powers, and we haven't had one, yet. How do you simulate technological regression and loss? Deindustrialization? What's the naval combat meta? These questions matter, and how devs rely on their own biases. Especially obvious when it comes to Americans/
>stealth destroyers! >dumb, and doesn't work >railguns! >they melt >littoral combat ships! >that's just a special snowflake frigate for the Persian Gulf exclusively >Rods from God! >lol lmao >anti-satellite weapons! >enjoy your Kessler syndrome
>how do you simulate regression I believe in EAW the worm queen screws your logistics and she specifically hates modern technology, thats her gimmick, i guess if you fight her you can experience losing what you've developed.
Theres also a joke leader a hippie pony that wants primitivism and completing his focus tree involves getting rid of science and basic tools, at the end it triggers a famine and his entire nation starves and it ends there.
But i guess you mean real life human stuff thats fine lol.
For that to work it'd be limited in scope. The problem with HoI that it's purely a wargame, and desperately altering the game's mechanics to the point that it's just LARPing as a storyteller geopolitics game just wouldn't work even if you were to mold it to be like that. For instance, you can just apply the "modern day" aspect in limited conflicts e.g. scenario based ones but that wouldn't work out pretty well at a larger scope e.g. the entire world is involved. Sadly Paradox has the cancelled East vs West game that was supposed to "fill" that gap but it got nuked before it took off when they shifted their strategy to purely producing their grand strategy games inhouse with their engine rather than sourcing it to other publishers due to the infamous Magna Mundi fiasco.
>endsieg mod stops getting updates because dev decided to make and endsieg mod focused entirely on Europe and bits of north africa >dev also stops updating that mod
we will never get to play an up-to-date 1945 scenario again, will we?
I've seen a lot of people say the naval combat is bad, would a mod focused on the Pacific Theatre be any fun or would the naval combat ruin the experince
EAW has hippogriffia, who has alot of crazy unique water things, like underwater tanks that can then go to land, and underwater factories and posada in particular is a commie that believes radiation can make communism work and unite everyone, she also has the futurism thing that in other mods causes leaders to waste money on stupid garbage but here because magic is on the equation can fund wacky underwater things that lead to results, also the maps entire ocean is the cooler of Hippogriffia's projects.
Sadly Torres from Ace Combat is a character in Chiropterra because he has air and water themed Bonus that would be the cherry on top for Hippogriffia.
People usually complain about naval combat because they don't understand it so they try to circumvent it with sub and naval bomber spam. This is likely because paradox doesn't introduce the features of naval combat in a digestible manner. I remember playing a science fiction mod where I can only assume the author forgot to make navies for everyone and I ended up enjoying it. The fleets were all manageable since everyone started at zero, combat felt decisive since everything was at a scale and losing a larger ship did feel crippling. A mod focused on the Pacific can be done if the scale is right. But the audience is going to be smaller because as people in these threads point out, this is not a ww2 sim, it's a barbarossa sim, island hopping doesn't have the same appeal.
Would you believe me if I said I've spent 220+ hours in this game and only saw the peace screen once or twice? Mods allow me to treat this like an economic-political game and I love it.
>go to other boards >zigger word being used
Thats funny i think /mlp/ and pony artists on Twitter have been using that word for longer, but is just to refer to actual Zebra OC's unlike.... whatever even outsiders use that word for. >zebra >Black person >zigger
Theres this autist that made an autismo leader, keith the supermutant of austin, giga autismo dedicated lore, endless walls of text, a visual novel where you get to play sometimes and the focus tree is an extension of the walls of text.
Pretty good read but lowkey keith is kinda of a gary stu, still fun experience
I think Greneclyf is vaguely Irish and Ponaidhean is vaguely Scottish. But their content is shit and doesn't even work properly. The devs have teased a rework in progress for both, but it's gonna be a while before any of it gets done. Until then, there's Rumare (Welsh), but it's also being reworked, possibly into something else entirely.

Why is my favorite mods of hoi4 shit like >le Pony mod >le Avante-garde mod >le literal minecraft mod >le futuristic mod featuring "NOT panem" (that will never-ever release)
is it simply because these simply stand out in a sea of glorified manifestos and Alt-history circlejerks? I swear it's always these meme projects that always feel like they have the most love put in them
Ripping yourself away from realism and normal hoi4 means you can afford to take more risks and be more creative.
Doesn't always work out, like with krx.
>just israelites
Afaik it used to be no genocides in general, but I've heard that the rule changed as long as there aren't any genocide mechanics. BUT TNO has(had?) Huttig whose whole schtick was a genocide mechanic for Black folk so who knows. Keep it to no israelites to be safe. >non-humans
Fully allowed, look at EAW for proof.

Being a meme project simply gives them an advantage.
They have more creative freedom and a better pool contributors which don't take things too serious.
I.e. if they lean into the meme aspect the primary motivation is creating something because it sounds fun instead of having a personal investment in a country, ideology, person etc.
I bet that is part of the reason why they tend to have less drama too.
Given how they have writter applications open, odds are this whole mormon thing is actually so well written that main devs liked it enough to add to the mod, so while it sounds giga odd, someone had to approve this concept.

John McAfee may lead American AnCaps if he isn't $WHACKD like in OTL. If he dies, libertarians become more moderate and go with either Spike Cohen or Gary Johnson. If the libertarian project fails altogether but their confederation still stands, they fall on Virgil Goode, Tulsi Gabbard, or reformed Antifa under Matthew Banta.
Going too far up the research tree will give you AI that may rebel against you. The extent to which it will harm you is unknown, but it comes with custom events, possibly different ones for each country - they only posted one for Russia.
all other teasers were already posted in this thread and the previous one.
TFR still in development? how is the overall progress so far and are they ever gonna release a demo for it?
no demo, but they're releasing 1.0 sometime this year. I don't know what the overall progress is, but I'm pretty sure that most of the planned content is already playable. The devs did a few public streams, as well as many more unarchived streams on their Discord.
- the last one from a few months ago, by the Russian branch.

But for real, why do paradox games attract so many of them? They're definitely overrepresented in the modding community of at least hoi4. Hell, what about that TNO dev who went on to be a part of Victoria 3?
They are inclined towards subject of alternate history, since they'll always wonder how would things have turned out if they haven't cut their dicks off.
Is there any fricking mod that introduces levels to supply hubs and/or makes rail and/or infrastructure to deliver supplies on their own?
It's like the supply system from the Soviet DLC was only partially made and they've never added the lacking bits.
>they them
Post them all, i wont deny there is gay leaders like Nazi Commie Crack Lighting. >russian devs
They all are happily letting foreigners work on the mod, they also put no drama over others reworking the equestrian continent, the foundation of the mod, giga chill guys, the dev team this days is also very very very clearly mostly english speakers too.
He has a canon fetish for Warzenanian stallions and thats why when he makes his hitler master race tier list he lists Warzenians higher than other zebra ethnicitys.

Is there any country in kaiserreich that gets a really early war? If yes how can i make the war even bigger by making more countries be at war with me?
Russia can get an early war by acting in a pro commie way, France gets multiple chances for an early ww2, the new Chinese states get some early game fun. Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
>play the new pax britannica update >look at britain >waitwho.jpg >is that that fricking >CYBER VICTORIA
is this new or did i just reeeealy not pay attention in my first playthrough?
also how does one of the big players (russia) have no content?
It is new, came with the America update. Pax Brit is really good lmao can't wait for more. Russia is getting it's update btw, it will be the next one on the list with an Asia overhaul and Prussia tree too. The reason it didn't get anything yet is probably cause a lack of direction they found now.
Is there any cyberpunk theme mods in the workshop? Because I been thinking of making a cyberpunk mod but don’t know how to research.
Basic ideas are
US become an puppet by mega-corps, USSR and PRC are Reform-Socialist and Hardline-Socialist and there’s ongoing proxy conflict in Africa support by major superpowers.
ToTA is the only mod that comes to mind but it's not on the workshop. Even then, ToTA's aesthetics aren't really in line with what people think of when they think of cyberpunk.
What do you mean by not knowing how to research?
I got some inspiration from Bladerunner and these video.
My main ideas is that “I want to provide 90s Cyberpunk theme into modern context like in the video” and I also want to make Hoi4 interactive decision seem meaningful and doesn’t feel barebones like in the vanila where trades is barebones, PP, Stability doesn’t do much, Resistance is nothing, etc.) and without felling into Mechanic/Narrative autism like TNO or gameplay focus where you get war goal on X.
First problem I have with researching is that I don’t know where to start with. How do I find interesting CEO with vision instead of people who just want to make more profits? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezo, Klaus Schwab certainly came into my head but I fear that using well-known figure wouldn’t be lame and lazy.
Second problem is that how do I translate their ideas into gameplay without making them feel like same suit different colors? Guangdong is the prime example of this. I love Guangdong but it’s basically like what I said same suit with different color, there’s nothing different between various Chief Executives aside from Narrative or gameplay focus. You are always to fight Manchuko GDP, You are always have to send division to indo, malay and columbia. How do I overcome this?
Third problem is how do I come up with the lore for the setting? How much change do I have to make and consider? How would various people’s mindset and political view change? How much military technology would have change? etc.
Sorry for wall of text btw but I just want a interactive mod that make my decision feel matter.
I don't know much about the minute details of modding, so I'll only comment on the concept.
homogenization in favor of the line going up is the driving engine of globalism - you can't really make everyone eat ze boogs and still have a bunch of colorful characters with wildly different ideologies running amok, each doing their own thing. At this point, you'll just have to ask yourself which vision of the future you want to embrace - 2020s hypermodernity where all the warring factions are 99% aligned with one another ideologically, or some kind of worldwide radical social upheaval like in LaHL. I don't think any other option is possible on the worldwide scale.
But you could change the scale. If I were you, I'd probably confine the mod to a single city-state - those are a staple of cyberpunk. Maybe some new technology dissolved the old social order, and the game takes place in an Ancapistan that no outsider will openly intervene in, no matter how dire things get inside, out of fear of getting hit back with nuclear weapons or something. Zooming in like that could allow you to showcase the nuance of your vision of the future, show off relatively low-level characters make changes that could never realistically happen on a grand scale, and it also bypasses the need for researching individuals since you can just make everyone up. Taking inspiration from the real world without actually tying yourself to it can lead you to all kinds of interesting places. EaW is a great example.
No no no it's not supposed to be homogenize. I want it to be 3 side war between Neo-Liberalism/Plutocracy vs Reform/Hardline Socialism vs Neo-Nation groups. I want it be a process from Cyberpunk to Technocracy. The US is under puppet from various mega corporations and CEO who want monopolize the entire industry but still suffer some resistance from various dissident groups and it's up to the player if they want to remain with Neo-Liberal or go with Corporatism. Western EU are also in similar setting but with Technocrat like Klaus behind the scene. USSR and ROC is having a ongoing political battle between Reform and Hardline and the Fascists/Nazis are underground organizing for a revolution in North America and Eurasia. The timeline would be this long process on whole score the most before everyone is tired of them and start to revolt.
But I think the ideas is too ambitious for newbie like me so I think that changing the scope of the mod from Global to Regional sound interesting and could serve as the basic component before I try it for real so thank you for the advice.
Hoi4 may not be the best game to work on for a cyberpunk scenario. But try it, make a small mod first, as in start commenting out as much of the world as possible and just make a small corner of the world follow your idea. If you need to edit a map I have a template that is almost moron proof.
A redditor made me know that TNO devs worked on Colthage and other zebra neighbors, wich maaaaakes sense given that the Star father is a World Wide evil and the Worm Queen too, but unlike in TNO the evil ones can win and theres no preachy moral lessons.
Yeah you will miss it if you don't read anything. Honoria is particularly stupid story, dev uses her commie friend as a mouthpiece to explain why meritocracy sucks
is the they/them libertarian the same? I only played as Honoria and the Radical Centrist.
I was initially attracted to Wittenland because it's one of the few countries that actually gives me an incentive to use magical infantry, but waiting for the leader that you actually want to play as takes forever and there's nothing to do while you wait (true for almost all of the new countries as well).
>is the they/them libertarian the same?
Idk what is that
As long as you can have White Star butt frick the characters you hate and have her come on top what is the issue with preachings you hate if they end up going nowhere? Don't be that soft.
Imagine a fat neckbeard following you 24/7 and telling you how evil you are. Sure, you can succeed in whatever you are doing, but he will stand there and constantly tell you how bad you are. I don't think it's unreasonable to be mildly annoyed by his actions
>why meritocracy sucks
just don't suck at things lol just don't be an actual fricking Black person and worthless at everything
shame Americans can't have a meritocracy because of the civil rights act

It's basically vanilla but a but more autistic
Customized tanks/planes/ships are replaced with historical pre-set ones. Smaller army groups. Pre-set peace deals.
Yeah, Japan and Italy are some of my favorite campaigns.
You have multiple different small fronts, many naval invasions to engage in, a smaller economy than other majors, and are positioned to engage with the navies of much more powerful nations, which you need to begin working towards overcoming early on.
Also, I think the Japan update is supposed to come with a big China update, they have a pretty in-depth China which while not yet fleshed out, has a lot of different independent warlords, generals, and task forces.
Be honest, do you prefer if mod authors have their own armor/air/naval trees where you just build the tank, or just build the boat or would you prefer that the dlc unit designer features be implemented?
I like the idea that it makes countries actually more unique from each other and you aren't doing the same thing every time. Though for all I know it's all identical and it's a placebo effect.
That's a submod. I believe, and I stopped following tno for some time now, that the next update is on playable content in Ukraine. I don't know if it will be good or if it will be a slog, but it doesn't look like it will last the entire game. After that, allegedly their Mediterranean update was close to done, but I will believe it when I see it. I personally am not looking forward to anything that TNO has to offer. I had my fun and the retooled content doesn't look interesting.
the only reason those mods haven't been using balance of power all this time is that it was only introduced recently. And they're already on top of it. The weird need to reinvent the wheel is a bane of all modding everywhere.

I just hate how every mod now includes this fricking generic mechanic that's not even fun to play. And most of the time it's not even a true balance of power and instead is "fill right bar get these buffs, fill left bar get these other buffs".

Could the GPT shit actually help with creating more serious mods?
I put in some code for fun, after some tard wrangling you could get it to write focus, events, ideas, etc. But I wouldn't trust right out of the gate. The code it creates is occasionally sketchy and it obviously needs manual edits for things like positioning. I would not recommend using it for modding, you are better off learning.

Well that's 3.6 million users that need to update in the coming months or lose access to their accounts until they submit and get new PC's(likely needed for most of them) or take advantage of that free upgrade to W10(still available more than 7 years after it "ended").
after watching the TFR dev streams, I can't get it up for any other mod anymore. Even my previous favorite EaW pales in comparison (the fact that the last batch of teasers has sent the /mlp/ audience into meltdown mode doesn't help).
being able to play the game. Most mods have a fricked up pacing, where you either just click focuses and do decisions and read events for hours (TNO, PB), or they're just mindless battle royales — these are alright in theory, but in practice they tend to have shit balance and the gameplay isn't at all engaging as a result (WWZ, OWB), or they're just vanilla+ and I find vanilla boring (Darkest Hour, KR/KX, RF). EaW walked a fine line between gameplay and narrative for a while, but it's been leaning more and more towards the latter as of late.
As for the narrative, I like the heightened reality of TFR because a) the narrative serves a purpose by leading to lots of wars, i.e. lots of actual gameplay, and b) it's just cool, being able to play as John McAfee or Vladimir Zhirinovsky or whatever sounds like fun. Stuff like this is one of the main reasons I was drawn to EaW, which never needed to find compromises between fun and realism.
Modern day mods are a niche that a lot of people have tried to fill, but Extremis Ultimis seems too scattershot, TotA and MAA are cringe, LaHL is never coming out, and Millennium Dawn is a fricking bore. TFR is the only thing on the horizon that looks like fun.
Fair enough, I met one the lead devs. He seemed like a good enough guy and like a relatively sane person. I have not really followed the mod myself since I stopped following mods in development.
I still wish TFR put more effort into their writing. I've seen some typos here and there and their prose is very bland and dry. I know that's not a problem for everyone else but what I enjoy the most about Hoi4 is the roleplay potential and creating elaborate AUs so it feels like a shame to me. Only TNO and EAW to a lesser extent have managed to scratch that itch. Maybe Red Flood will to once (if) they update it.
>Even my previous favorite EaW pales in comparison (the fact that the last batch of teasers has sent the /mlp/ audience into meltdown mode doesn't help).
QRD on the pony civil war?
EaW devs posted a bunch of new art and a good chunk of characters were non-ponies, que /mlp/ butthurt. I agree with them though, this doesn't even look like an animal, just blatant anthro shit.
also, a while back I saw a post in one of these threads complaining that the Red Flood team turned von Mises into a caricature cruel capitalist, but I just played his path and if anything, he's too socially progressive and democratic. And the text keeps trying to frame him as a scheming israelite. Kinda weird.

I did not say /mlp/ does not play the game i was just shitting on the haters of the mod and i say the mod because most of the complains is like the majority of the mod, equestria really has been out of focus for the longest time.
I did not mean /mlp/ does not play the game, i meant everything was bussines as usual then anons noticed anthro and they just whined about the regular of content that there is on EAW, furshit.
Ganker poster numbers are nothing to the discord and reddit numbers or even the playerbase, if the haters opinion is i hate practically everything about the mod's lore priorities and they just lurk and arent active on the thread and things are just slow as usual and they just become active when they notice anthro shit, well its impossible to take them seriously.
What am I looking at here?
Is that the mod made by chuds or the one made by trannies.
It's both

I've been playing Ultra Historical Mod. It's got some interesting things like an infantry equipment designer that lets you specify squad loadouts and company and batallion level support, and a refinery system for transforming coal, iron, and bauxite into steel and aluminum, along with separated synthetic rubber and synthetic oil systems. However, it does seriously nerf Japan by giving them a -25% production efficiency cap as part of their Zaibatsu spirit as well as -10% for their corporatist economic policy. I've struggled to expand the IJA, even just with more infantry divisions.
The problem with these overhaul mods is the AI cannot handle it.

Writers... your days are numbered
I use it to check grammar and spelling mostly. It can make an event if the prompt is specific enough but in my experience it still needs to be edited. Still, it's a good helper.
It's a fantastic tool
Why would anyone use this?
The part of modding people like most is writing. Writing is easy.
Nah, I like making flags and borders. My mod writing is only written in the most utilitarian way possible.
For me? It's the little focus icons. It's like playing with legos mashing a bunch of things together to see what fits.
Coding is fun cuz it actually leads to gameplay
>localisation files
No, it's most tedios part of modding.
looks like useless ideaguys who can only write(and usually aren't very good at it) have their days numbered
Too long
Most people will skip the flavor text unless it's short and to the point.
Wrong, short events are shit and lazy.
you ever wonder why actual studios hire designers and producers that dont have aspergers?
What?
And yet nobody reads the boring walls of text
Demonstratably false, TNO is nothing but wall of text event spams and it's one of the most popular hoi4 mods. Cope.
Black person, no one plays shiTNO for the walls of text
I do
You're dead wrong. What the frick else do you play it for?
TNO would be a great mod if it didn't give you a game over screen after you've played as someone the devs don't like or if the guys who wrote the text spams didn't write like 14 year old trannies
FNAF mod
Major mods/mod teams are invariably infested with trannies and commies who will always sacrifice fun and creativity for the sake of injecting their personal politics and worldviews.
Banned from the TNO Discord for being unable to hilariously type “Black person” in chat again I see
Because trannies, commies and homosexuals are willing to do the actual work. Based and Redpilled morons are always too busy jerking off to interacial porn and argue on twitter.
Nope.
number of right wing hoi4 mods that are popularly played: 0
mods by normal people: literally all of them
Except right wing is normal, so.
There is nothing normal about seething brownoids larping as white.
You didn't adress the point that HoI4 modders are not "normal people". You need to get off Discord if you think these "people" are normal.
This. I have a feeling that i'm the only right wing person who is hustling and bustling.
Wrong. If you look at troony teams, they are never the creators. No, they infiltrate. They sidle up to members and stroke their ego for a moderator position, hire on cronies, then wait until the people who actually made the mod to get bored and leave or initiate a hostile takeover when their nepotistic tendrils have sunk in far enough. Half the troony leads don't even know how to code, they are just idea guys that have convinced people they are in charge.
Why don't right wingers beat them with actual skill and hard work? Right wing teams would be theoretically immmune to infiltration by trannies.
The sad truth is that your average "internet nazi" is a brain dead brownoid who has to be forced into work at gunpoint and is too busy sliding into troony dms to contribute anything aside of catty drama.
>Right wing teams would be theoretically immmune to infiltration by trannies.
Not immune to reporting and/or sabotage.
there was /vst/no (later known as Minutes to Midnight) and it got infiltrated by them, i believe after most devs left it was only developed by this Brazilian troon "Franzeska" and his buttbuddies.
i was in their discord when the it got hacked and destroyed lmao
Though at that point it was already trooned
I have never met an internet nazi that has, or does work on a mod. Unless we are counting Tories and those odd religious parties from eastern Europe as nazis. Allegedly, someone who had a sympathy for francoism and someone else who sympathized with imperial Japan worked on a pretty major mod, but the lead dev found out and removed all of their work. It's not so much that authoritarians don't or can't do work, it's looks more like they just get found out are removed.
I just edit mods at this point that so they aren't as biased. Kaiserreich's Pelley no longer has -100% stability but his max is a low 40% when you do all stability focuses, not including stability increasing decisions. I've spent the last week trying to fenagle with Wallace's data without breaking the TNO election and bill system, if push comes to shove I'll just port the Pre-TT3 data into the build of Silicon Dreams but it might frick it up worse.
People don't like TNO for the gay lore, they either play "My Flavor of Ideology" with Russia or they play "My Preferred Political Party" with America because everything else is boring. I like nation-building to an extent but I still need some kind of conflict to involve myself in for it to matter.
Who cares about cores, it's like 3 fricking provinces just occupy it.
Is it true they made it so that Wallace can't succeed so he loses after one term and gets replaced by that girlboss?
That's a load of bullshit and you know it. Wallace can be the biggest Black person hater on the planet and still get two full terms. It's called playing the game correctly and not being bad.
>It's called playing the game correctly and not being bad.
I don't want to pick playing as the RDC so I can force a senate majority
Even with a senate majority, members of my caucus don't vote for pro-segregationist bills

Skill issue, see
>Even with a senate majority, members of my caucus don't vote for pro-segregationist bills
Yea that was a problem, I couldn't pass the medicine bill because half of NPP-FR wouldn't vote for it no matter what I chose. But I still managed to segregate transportation and schools.
>Skill issue, see >1386147
They admitted to doing the method I stated in a TNO thread, I was literally there when it was posted. I don't like being gamey to achieve victory, it's less satisfying.
>Yea that was a problem, I couldn't pass the medicine bill because half of NPP-FR wouldn't vote for it no matter what I chose. But I still managed to segregate transportation and schools.
I haven't had similar results, I am always at 47 Senators in favor of the total segregation for transportation bill and I had 46 senators in my caucus, but a decent chunk of my support came from the Democrats. No room to negotiate on it either and it's happened multiple times on two separate playthroughs despite save scumming. It's frustrating seeing 37 of my 46 senators vote for a bill they should all want.
>They admitted to doing the method I stated in a TNO thread
What? Your method was effective if you got 46 senators total. I developed my own strategy that I also posted, I got around 60 senators in my caucus before doing racism and losing 7.
>I don't like being gamey to achieve victory, it's less satisfying.
Then you shouldn't play segregationist Wallace, other presidents are much easier. For me working hard to achieve my goals is much more rewarding than playing with no challenge.
>effective
ineffective
There are measures I could have taken to boost Wallace's popular support, mainly losing Malaya, Madagascar, the Dominican invasion and the Philippines as Nixon. My problem comes from the fact the party is programmed to not support bills it should logically vote for and that it's very deliberate in doing so. I haven't played the new update, maybe that fixes some things but it's hard to try and justify the time investment.
>party is programmed to not support bills it should logically vote for
NPP-FR are divided between north (ancap libertarians) and north (segregationists). Not all northerners will support nationwide segregation for obvious reasons
>north (segregationists).
south
Eh, fair reason for the split although it doesn't make sense I can't attempt to negotiate with them. I'll try some variations in my strategy, maybe I'll get something else to work.
You should be able to negotiate, there are buttons for negotiation with bills and whatnot. You need your party unity to be high and you can get the various parts of your party on board.
>Even with a senate majority, members of my caucus don't vote for pro-segregationist bills
This makes sense though, not all NPP nationalists are pro-segregation/states rights.
Wallace is easy, we should talk about how it's impossible to get segregationist Bennet.
Is there a way where Wallace can just stop at letting segregation be just a state's rights thing?
Yes, it's called just repealing the civil rights act and not going deep into the racism tree. Do the economy or military stuff for a bit.
You should look at his focus tree before asking such questions
some francoist guy made a sub mod for tno a while back but i think he got jannied away

Because genuine hardline "right wingers"(whatever you mean by that) have lives and not enough free time to just dedicate a whole ass week to coding and troubleshooting mods for you.
I dunno man ESL posters, troony posters and buzzword posters in general are very active, rightoid brainrot is not rare on the internet.
So are you, but I don't see you making a mod
I am a EAW player and i am satisfied, once i got up to date with the content i started playing the popular mods to shove myself into the more general hoi community and make fun of the slow content releases and progressive brainrot
I played vanilla because hoi devs shill eaw from time to time on their social media and thats cute.

The biggest issue with right wing mods, having helped with Kasierreich: Dankest Hour, is most of the skilled coders in demand got very busy with real life needs. Such as planning out their career for the next decade, or dealing with concerns about if they should move around or not with the Ukraine war kicking off and internationally things obviously getting worse almost across the board.
Most of the remaining coders that did not retire due to real life needs went into Kasierredux, though there was some drama there as not everyone was a fan about how they had no quality control.
But honestly, at this point I need to focus on real life as well, I can't be spending my time modding Hoi4 when the world is about to blow up before my own house is in order.
Coding hoi4 is a joke, it's like "coding" in renpy or scratch, I did this stuff that when I was 16-17. It gets hard only when you have to do something innovative, which most mods don't do anyway
Personally I don't even call it coding. I have seen actual code for programs and paradox script is so laughably easy to understand. It literally is just laziness that stops people from making their own mod or editing some files.
Yeah, its really weird that hoi4 mod teams have massive amounts of people that don't do any actual coding. Just fricking around for a day in an already existing mod gives you a good idea of how to make stuff, but still there are a ton of people on mod teams that are only there to be idea guys and chat on discord. You'd think whoever is in charge of a mod team would just kick lazy morons like that out.
Most mod teams are pretty centralized. So usually you have higher ups just autistically debating the most minor shit in content proposals and shit.
And the few mods that don't do this are made by extremely small groups or horsefrickers, which have their own issues.
As in I meant in many cases the major devs or higher ups are kinda the reason why shit stagnates. Of course it's not helped that most HOI4 coding, even if simple, is still pretty time consuming. So shit really stagnates.
Only big mod I know so far that isn't is The Fire Rises tbh

Why do people think it's a zigger mod? It's lead by Americans and each nation takes the perspective of itself and portrays each country as the hero in their own story.
Presumably because of the stupid results of a victory in Ukraine by either side ingame.
I mean, do you want to fight a big war and then have your borders barely change?
Because Russia doesn't have 100 events telling how evil you are
> you can literally lead literal globohomosexual to victory

They hate the fact that you can win as Russia or chud nations without collapsing and/or constantly reminded that you are the bad guy.

These radlib obsessive types are unironically more mentally ill then that early 2000s megachurch boomers that tried to ban doom and gta.
Well now I'm interested. How is that mod called? Does it actually have any wars (other than ukraine) or is it a snoozefest just like MD?
The Fire Rises, it was some Russian mod about le american civil war started back during when Trump was still relevant, though as time went on they added more stuff about modern events as they happened like covid and ukraine.
Main set up seems to be that Rump Nato is being integrated/or integrating France and Germany to still stand up for Ukraine while everything explodes everywhere.
As an aside, Russians trying to get into the minds of what an absolute NATO victory would look like is really funny
I mean just look at this
Whats so funny
That instead of even pretending they just flanderize NATO and have so a French Colonial Officer rules Lybia as a NATO Ordostat as that is the only way they can see them
I'm pretty sure the point isn't to represent NATO accurately.
Because that shit'd be boring.
TFR devs, I know you're reading this thread. Put this tweet into the game as an event.
It´s occupied by the military, like Iraq was for a while. That something is ruled by the military does not mean that it´s some nazi killpeopleism state.
It is not that even, it is the fact they had the French Officer wear a colonial africa era hat that amused me so much
Also they have Israel carving out Israeli military zones in the middle east instead of any soft power being shown
That´s just for gameplay purposes, im pretty sure Saudis don´t just get occupied.
Hoi doesn't have soft power mechanics + avoiding wars in a war game is exactly why MD is garbage
MD is shit because it's too generic/superficial and runs like ass. Even if a mod has no big wars it can be fun as long as it has fun mechanics and a lot of flavor text.
The French still wear those hats irl, it has nothing to do with colonialism.
>they just flanderize NATO
Realpolitik “NATO victory” would just be 1991 borders of Ukraine, demilitarized Kaliningrad and continuation of Putinism but without Putin (who would get all blame and be in Hague) since no way Western countries would want to change incompetent political and economic system of modern day Russia.
Because IRL accurate NATO lost to a bunch of Afghani villagers armed with AKs and flip flops and TFR has to ironically lionize NATO to make it interesting.
Nice meme, NATO actually is beating Russia in Ukraine right now and the only reason Afghanistan fell is we did not have the will to win at home
>We're winning
>Actually creates WW1-tier stalemate like a boss
I don't think anyone's winning this war save for edgelords who want to look at piles of corpses.
>WW1-tier stalemate
What do you expect, Ukraine counter invading Russia? When you look at the relative size of the two countries, Ukraine forcing a stalemate is absolutely a victory.
Ukraine isn't going to invade Russia you moron, real life is not HoI4
Then why they say that they will capture Crimea?
good one but honestly though I kinda hope that after they take back Crimea that they continue and take back moscow as well - that would be funny AF
>muh Kievan Rus 2, this time ran by a literal israeli comedian
I stopped laughing at clown world a long time ago.
> we only lost to a bunch of villagers that we outnumbered and had infinitely higher tech with infinite resources because of lack of will too win
Textbook definition of cope.
> NATO actually is beating Russia in Ukraine right now
Russia doing its usual thing by entering a conflict being totally unprepared doesn't negate the fact that IRL NATO is also weak as shit and that's why TFR devs had to make it look and sound somewhat less cucked and shitty then NATO is in real life.
NATO lost in Afghanistan because a popular insurgency cannot be beaten without ethnic cleansing, something NATO members are largely unwilling to do.
By all means, keep thinking that this means NATO sucks in conventional warfare though, your moronation amuses me.
> popular insurgency cannot be beaten without ethnic cleansing, something NATO members are largely unwilling to do
Cope, pro-western proxy regime that NATO was backing literally had same rules as Taliban plus child sex slaves, that's literally general butt naked tier shit, NATO weren't trying to be the good guys, it just sucked and lost to a bunch of pissed off villagers because decades of nepotism, corruption and negative selection at higher ranks would do this to any military organization. Plus there are plenty of cases where insurgency was defeated without committing of war crimes.
This content was made by a proud latinx warrior from california and not some ork.
The Fire Rises.
the centerpiece of the mod is the Second American Civil War, which is preceded by a couple of smaller conflicts, most notably the Saudi Arabian Civil War. Once the Americans are out of the picture, Russia starts a war with NATO and China tries to take out Taiwan, which is protected by Japan and Australia. These wars are always guaranteed to happen, other major conflicts will depend on who wins which war. In one of their latest teasers they showed NATO going full globohomosexual in the Middle East.
it's definitely gonna be more interactive than MD (not a high bar tbh), but the ability to justify wars is off by default, so it won't be as flexible as something like EaW. Some of the devs are also pretty outspoken about disliking "quirky" content, so it's not in a direct competition with LaHL, for better or worse.

Yet another EAW update anyway highlights for me are Changelings using scorch the earth tactics if they are losing and moaaar content that expands on the "by blood alone" dlc, also the equivalent of having TOOZERS in-game as zebrica nations got alot of place holder TOOZER focus tree's that foreshadow where this guys are going.
Can I get a qrd on the PaxBrit update? How far did they push it back?
I need a good space marine template
April first aproaches, first it was OWB then TNO... wonder what other mod has shameless devs that would allow THEM in their mod.
POZCLAVE POZCLAVE POZCLAVE OH YEAH!!!
>Enclave
>Refugees
What
MacArthur Enclave takes in refugees and either puts them in plantations, work camps or sends them for slave labor/human experiments to Chicago.
Technically some of them are free but are basically the lowest class in the autistic 4 tier racial purity hierarchy of MacArthur army base.
However the daughter of the leading officer is a bleeding heart humanist so she and her team of dipshits that got thrown to Montana due to reformism can try a coup to restore USA and cut off from actual Enclave. (This does lead to civil war). This path is also basically reformist Enclave bullshit from Enclave reborn in the main mod.
Of course you can also decide that Colonel tolerating mutant lovers, non-enclave "pure" people and actually allowing wastelanders to live is cringe and take over as purist Enclave. Then you start putting all wastelanders in concentration camps and mutie reservations at best and colonizing their land with Enclave veterans.
Is anyone interested in an interwar mod that starts off in 1919? Base will be magna Europa. Or is there not enough conflict going around in Europe to make an interesting mod at that time?
There really was not a lot of conflict to happening. Sure you had the Russian Civil war, the following polish-soviet war, the Chinese warlord armies, the Greeks and Turks were fighting, Hungary tried and failed to be a socialist country, Germany had a lot of fun fighting the communists and then intervening in the Baltic states, France, Britain, and Spain all had some minor colonial wars, the Saudis conquered Arabia, the united states had some fun bullying Latin America and Latin America occasionally shot each other. There are conflicts for sure, specifically in eastern Europe and Russia but not enough for a world war like scenario.
It's either that or modding victoria 3, but I don't like victoria 3. Victoria 2 cannot simulate air combat, unfortunately.
The only other solution is to add 'plausible' alt history, and by that I mean the USSR invading mainland Europe...
There is some weird fascination mods only having a ton of tiny wars instead of one big one. It's doable in hoi4, but you would need to be very upfront that not all nations are made equally and that some nations will not get content.
does anyone know which mod uses this economy slider???

{Equine mod News}
Pony Karl (Caramel Marks) is a mare wearing whitemane's clothes (from wow), seems to have a cult of personality at the start.
Despite inventing Communism in that world only now they are making her a character, she was frecuently mentioned alot on news papers, few lines of dialogue and lore.
EAW's portrayal of communism is hardly even accurate at all as "Our Towns" ex leader pretty much hijacked the meaning and its commonly associated with Equalism all across Equus, its also a great excuse to make most commies wackos.

It's not about being pro china or against china, you mouthbreathing morons.
Decisions like these sets a bad precedent, devs can arbitrarily decide that a country can't core regions that have been historically part of said country because of hurt feefees.

I swear, political debate in this chan was already cancerous before 2016, but now?
Nato debate turns every thread into a dumpster fire, i miss the old days when literally everyone but americans hated america.
So do I, friend. Gott strafe Amerika and gott strafe its bootlickers. America isn't your friend just because it wants to destroy your racial enemy.
You will never be a real woman
I don't want to be a woman, I just want America to stop bullying the world.
And its own population, for that matter.
Ironic, since it's America spreading the troony shit.
>change between male and female at will
huh?
Nothing is stopping a changeling from disguising as the opposite gender= woketardism libtard degeneracy.
Are you moronic?
Magical means don't count as transgenderism.
Everyone would be okay with trannies if they weren't sterile mentally ill people who want to spread their affliction by indoctrinating others.
They are not normal, i would consider having sex with a pretty enough one maybe with big breasts, but that does not change the fact they are chaotic, honestly they should leave the dick intact once its off they go on a spyral of depression and its ogre from there.
Save it for the dinner table with mom and dad you cringelord

anon's rightoid brain rot, Changelings are not soros psyops or trans propaganda, anon is just a schizo.
you're speaking to an autistic child
>Changelings are not soros psyops or trans propagand
There's events where ponies undergo magic SRS. Absolutely nothing "schizo" about that, they explicitly mention feeling dysphoria.
You mean Chiropterra? The whole point is they do research and projects all with zebras against their will, slaves, they do the bat pony version of fallout super mutants but alot die in the process to get there, they do the uber charge because haha medic tf2 is a gorey guy too, and they force a gender change surgery on a griffon i think forgot what race and because its not really useful at all they just save the data and move on to the next project, anyway Changelings dont recall anyone feeling dysphoria, go dive for the event cuz i am not.
>You mean Chiropterra?
Not the same guy but I think he means this
>nations tend to have multiple writters per leader
>in cases like Celestia she has a different writer per political alignment
Anon that event is from a mentally ill anarcho comunist that burned his own parents alive and if communists take over he starts seeing ghosts and kills himself, some griffon makes an investigation on him and apparently he mentally blocked his own traumas so his niceness and progressivenes is to hide his dark past.
Also by being from the yale university he shares a nation with a 100% not insulting parody of jesus christ, who has a different writter, just to put into perspective.
I got this event while playing as non-aligned, what are you talking about?
Im just trying to connect the dots FROM memory cuz i totally did not retain this event
>in cases like Celestia she has a different writer per political alignment
Why? That sounds horrible. How many political alignments can she even have?
>political alignment
Celestia(Harmony also counts if she turns fascist in a war but actually did not lied and returns the government back to a benevolent absolute princessdom only counts if she did not go all the way with fascism, may or not be racist depending of player) Celestia (Fascist, may or not be racist depending of player) Celestia (Harmony tainted by supremacy/Fascism), Daybreaker (empress protector, Empress Mother, God empress, all of them are fascism)
Note: If Daybreaker is the mother or protector variant she will use her Celestia name and her portrait will show that she still looks like before but she switched her aurora themed mane and tail for a more firey one, she also does not get a black sclera (dunno if they touched her appearance since the last time i played her just to cover my ass but those details should be there), While god empress gets bulky and goes all the way with the evil look, the story also changes for each variant, only god empress will decide to form kamikaze soldiers and in the lore side of things she would rather burn all bat ponies while the protector variant sends the entire bat pony race away from her continent, among many many other changes for each variant.
Note 2: Celestia (Base form) will be written by a single main developer in this year's entire continent rework, while Daybreaker will have a single different dedicated writter
>Daybreaker (empress protector, Empress Mother, God empress, all of them are fascism)
That's a bit silly. I get Empress Protector and Empress Mother since that's her being all about protecting her ponies, but God Empress is just her wanting to be worshipped.
>Note 2: Celestia (Base form) will be written by a single main developer in this year's entire continent rework, while Daybreaker will have a single different dedicated writter
That's good to hear. Hopefully they have a lot of interaction with one another to keep things on the same page.
God Empress is helping her ponies even from dangers that are not even real, like inherent "darkness within bat pony kind", she goes insane and yes she wants to be worshiped, also her made up religion is all bullshit because she gets debuffs to things like research.
SHE still controls the entire Sun however so she has that going, imperium solem is one of the coolest focus ever.
>one (1) event
>EaW SAYS TRANS RIGHTS! TOTALLY TRANS CODED!
Why are trannies like this? You give them an ounce of validation and they latch onto something instinctively.
How many transition events troony-infested TNO has?
I dunno, since I refuse to play any non-fascist nation after the shitshow that was the lesbian story in Britain.
So TNO is less troon plagued than EAW, who has literal troony events coded in
This is the most israeli semantic thing I've ever read on this fricking shithole of a board. Ignore the percentage of the dev team that are actual trannies! Look at this one event from EaW! VN mod betterer!

New Red Flood France focus tree
Thank you for posting this but I will take it from here.
Hello /vst/ anons. It's been a while since we have a big teaser but here's the new sub ideology coming to TSF2.
Let's starts it off with Accelerationism
Accelerationism in Red Flood started as a pejorative, a negative label ascribed to movements by socialist theorists of the Second Internationale, attacking global phenomena for a myriad of reasons; from the Vpered faction attempting to "accelerate" Russia past capitalism directly into socialism, to those who critically support Ludendorff "accelerating" the collapse of capitalism, to the March on Rome and Fiume merely "accelerating" capitalist contradictions rather than addressing them. Still, the word became a badge of pride and vigor for many - although not all smeared by the moniker accepted the label - and by 1936 it is an accepted term. Generally united by ultramodernist values and technophilia, it includes movements that identify as right, left, and beyond such concerns.
Of course, while the term in-lore may have originated as an insult hurled by members of the Second Internationale, we cannot ignore the real world terminology; the actual ideology of accelerationism and the Red Flood one, while linked, are not a 1:1 copy. The ideology's name in Red Flood - in an out of lore context - comes from a variety of sources, ranging from Nick Land, who without Artaud would not have invented his own philosophy, to Benjamin Noys, who classified people like D'Annunzio and Marinetti as accelerationists in his coining of the term. However, it is important to note that neither the real life ideology of accelerationism nor the one expressed in Red Flood can be simplified to a mantra of "make thing bad so good thing happens."
The old Individual/Social/Stateless trio was a blunt division with a "this is a failstate for other paths" catch-all attached to it. The new subideologies better reflect the subtleties of the anarchist label, including beliefs and forms of government (or non-government) that are even more difficult to categorize on a left-right spectrum – something that the 1930s have in abundance.
A rather consistent ideology, VanSoc has mostly stayed the same since the beginning. Most of the work here has gone towards honing what exactly splits it from PopSoc, as well as fleshing out some models of governance that would previously be lumped into one of the other ideologies or just tossed into StateSoc.
The vanguard party model we are pretty familiar with starts as a current of dissent against the Spartakists. Of course, clarifying what Leninism and National Vanguardism (immediately evocative of National Bolshevism) are in a world without a recognizable Bolshevism was important to the rewrites.
Back when this mod first came out, this ideology was known as "Libertarian Marxism"— the only ideology to have the name Marxism in the title. As such, when deciding how best to rename it come 0.3.5, we decided that instead of focusing on a "Libertarian" vs "Authoritarian" split, it would be better to have the nature of the schism be the matter of how revolution is organized itself; a difference between a top-down, "Vanguardist" model or a bottom-up "Popular" one. Of course, this should not be confused as being a rebranding of evil vs good, or mean and repressive vs liberating and free; nor does Popular mean they enjoy an inherently larger amount of support.
PopSoc has been an obvious beneficiary of the TSF rewrites. The circumstances of this timeline mean that something more like Karl Kautsky's Orthodox Marxism and the radical left of the SPD is the “standard” idea of revolutionary socialism. Spartakism and Folk Socialism are the biggest flag-bearers of the Second International model. At the same time, two variants of syndicalism are here due to being too revolutionary for the Revisionists and too populist to be Vanguardists.
The Revisionist Socialism ideology is a bit of a misnomer at times. Does "revisionism" as a concept matter in the same way in Red Flood? Do the Vanguard Socialists count as revisionists in a sense? While we have thrown about loose working definitions such as "RevSoc classifies those against a class-based revolution", not all were happy; alas, due to lack of better classification, it has remained a catch-all for the less-Marxist socialisms, parties outside of the Second International that aren't accelerationists or vanguardists, and so on.
What used to be Social Democracy before the changes to Germany - and a better look at the term Social Democracy in general with a period lens - Progressivism sits on the leftmost flank of the liberal-democratic ideologies, OTL's Liberal Socialists sit next to democratic reformists and even applications of Catholic social teaching. The binding ties of "social, not socialist" still exist, even without the frankly ahistorical moniker of SocDem being applied.
This is probably one of the most recognizable slates to OTL, and one of the ideologies that has seen the least change over time. Objectivism was broadened into Libertarian Capitalism, and National Liberalism joined the fray, but for the most part, Liberalism has stayed in the same vein since the beginning. That is not to say that the mindset behind its usage has stayed the same though, as we have consistently been moving away from treating it as the boring, catch-all status-quo "slow" path repository. Who knew that Liberals can be fun too?
3 more to go!
On the right flank of the democratic ideologies, Conservatism also had to be written properly to outline what is actually being conserved. While not as bad as Liberalism on the "boring junk" front, we certainly have had to re-evaluate exactly how we view things in order to breathe new life into the ideology and keep it from being overlooked as simply filler content. Despite the diversity in the nature of how to secure the order they want, the subideologies here are still explicitly respecting a democratic order, which separates them from some of those that follow.
Polyarchy replaces the old Right-Wing Authoritarian ideology name, which was both too restrictive and too vague. A large number of people who could fit into the ideology were not right wing, and the ideology name itself didn't actually describe the exact way that the government is run or the belief system behind it compared to all of the others. Still, a number of the subideologies here would qualify as right-wing, or at least vaguely conservative in character, while being less democratic than their cousins under Conservatism. The general character of the ideology is now more classified in the name itself; Polyarchy, or rule by many.
In contrast to Polyarchy, Despotism tends to emphasize a more centralized, authoritarian style of rule with a single focal point of power. It includes governments where the monarch or religious hierarchy exercises very real political power as the sole sovereign - regardless of limitations based on paper - to dictatorships with a more common touch. As well, there are some right-wing movements that haven't been subsumed into the accelerationist or reactionary camp, sitting on the fence neatly between two opposites.
And finally reactionary.
The content of the Reactionary ideology reflects a few trends in Red Flood. The failure of fascism to unite traditionalists and modernists under one flag is one of them, and the ostensible survival of the Russian Empire as an inspiration to others is another; not every Reactionary is a would-be fascist or a two-bit Tsarist however. The throughline between them all though is a wish for the clock to turn back, cleanly breaking with modernity, and as a result, there is a clearer dividing line between the traditionalist far-right and the less paleontological forms.
Thank you for all reading this long wall of text and I hope you guy have a nice day!
I know you guy get annoyed with wall of text dump that nobody care about but I justified it by the fact that nobody is posting toozers and the board itself is really slow so I apologize if I cause you distress.

>tfw STILL no good modern day mod
Modern day is just a bad concept for Hoi4. Might as well just make a dedicated Ukraine War mod since every other conflict doesn't even begin to make sense with mechanics
Define good.
HOI4 is incapable of simulating WW2. It is, at best, an operation barbarossa simulator. That's it. D-Day, North Africa, the Pacific, Battle of Britain, the Atlantic. It simulates NONE of these properly. The only thing it does properly is let you kettle Germany or Russian armies Kursk style. That's it.
Fire of Poltava?
Why would there be a good modern day mod? HoI4 is for simulating total war between major powers, and we haven't had one, yet. How do you simulate technological regression and loss? Deindustrialization? What's the naval combat meta? These questions matter, and how devs rely on their own biases. Especially obvious when it comes to Americans/

I believe in EAW the worm queen screws your logistics and she specifically hates modern technology, thats her gimmick, i guess if you fight her you can experience losing what you've developed.
Theres also a joke leader a hippie pony that wants primitivism and completing his focus tree involves getting rid of science and basic tools, at the end it triggers a famine and his entire nation starves and it ends there.
But i guess you mean real life human stuff thats fine lol.
>and we haven't had one, yet
Unironically give it 10 more years.
For that to work it'd be limited in scope. The problem with HoI that it's purely a wargame, and desperately altering the game's mechanics to the point that it's just LARPing as a storyteller geopolitics game just wouldn't work even if you were to mold it to be like that. For instance, you can just apply the "modern day" aspect in limited conflicts e.g. scenario based ones but that wouldn't work out pretty well at a larger scope e.g. the entire world is involved. Sadly Paradox has the cancelled East vs West game that was supposed to "fill" that gap but it got nuked before it took off when they shifted their strategy to purely producing their grand strategy games inhouse with their engine rather than sourcing it to other publishers due to the infamous Magna Mundi fiasco.

Feature creep is a b***h
I've seen a lot of people say the naval combat is bad, would a mod focused on the Pacific Theatre be any fun or would the naval combat ruin the experince
EAW has hippogriffia, who has alot of crazy unique water things, like underwater tanks that can then go to land, and underwater factories and posada in particular is a commie that believes radiation can make communism work and unite everyone, she also has the futurism thing that in other mods causes leaders to waste money on stupid garbage but here because magic is on the equation can fund wacky underwater things that lead to results, also the maps entire ocean is the cooler of Hippogriffia's projects.
Sadly Torres from Ace Combat is a character in Chiropterra because he has air and water themed Bonus that would be the cherry on top for Hippogriffia.
People usually complain about naval combat because they don't understand it so they try to circumvent it with sub and naval bomber spam. This is likely because paradox doesn't introduce the features of naval combat in a digestible manner. I remember playing a science fiction mod where I can only assume the author forgot to make navies for everyone and I ended up enjoying it. The fleets were all manageable since everyone started at zero, combat felt decisive since everything was at a scale and losing a larger ship did feel crippling. A mod focused on the Pacific can be done if the scale is right. But the audience is going to be smaller because as people in these threads point out, this is not a ww2 sim, it's a barbarossa sim, island hopping doesn't have the same appeal.
Would you believe me if I said I've spent 220+ hours in this game and only saw the peace screen once or twice? Mods allow me to treat this like an economic-political game and I love it.

Does EAW have an Irish-equivalent faction?
https://equestria-at-war.fandom.com/wiki/Barony_of_Rumare
I think Greneclyf is vaguely Irish and Ponaidhean is vaguely Scottish. But their content is shit and doesn't even work properly. The devs have teased a rework in progress for both, but it's gonna be a while before any of it gets done. Until then, there's Rumare (Welsh), but it's also being reworked, possibly into something else entirely.

No holocaust.
Ripping yourself away from realism and normal hoi4 means you can afford to take more risks and be more creative.
Doesn't always work out, like with krx.
>No holocaust.
Is that no genocides in general or just israelites? What about for non-humans?
>just israelites
Afaik it used to be no genocides in general, but I've heard that the rule changed as long as there aren't any genocide mechanics. BUT TNO has(had?) Huttig whose whole schtick was a genocide mechanic for Black folk so who knows. Keep it to no israelites to be safe.
>non-humans
Fully allowed, look at EAW for proof.
Why is my favorite mods of hoi4 shit like
>le Pony mod
>le Avante-garde mod

is it simply because these simply stand out in a sea of glorified manifestos and Alt-history circlejerks? I swear it's always these meme projects that always feel like they have the most love put in them
Being a meme project simply gives them an advantage.
They have more creative freedom and a better pool contributors which don't take things too serious.
I.e. if they lean into the meme aspect the primary motivation is creating something because it sounds fun instead of having a personal investment in a country, ideology, person etc.
I bet that is part of the reason why they tend to have less drama too.
red flood is straying away from this which is why their updates take so fricking long
Mormon coded ponies to be added to EAW, Equestrian faction written by a mormon brony.
Given how they have writter applications open, odds are this whole mormon thing is actually so well written that main devs liked it enough to add to the mod, so while it sounds giga odd, someone had to approve this concept.
Also Our Town content, "Our Planet"
What do Froggriffs in EAW do? Just a navy bonus?

no demo, but they're releasing 1.0 sometime this year. I don't know what the overall progress is, but I'm pretty sure that most of the planned content is already playable. The devs did a few public streams, as well as many more unarchived streams on their Discord.

Going too far up the research tree will give you AI that may rebel against you. The extent to which it will harm you is unknown, but it comes with custom events, possibly different ones for each country - they only posted one for Russia.
all other teasers were already posted in this thread and the previous one.
hope this is kept at an appropriate minimum rather than having some sort of AI revolution

But for real, why do paradox games attract so many of them? They're definitely overrepresented in the modding community of at least hoi4. Hell, what about that TNO dev who went on to be a part of Victoria 3?
for the same reason why linux attracts them.
With that logic, any modding community should be full of them, at least when the mods require heavy amounts of scripting.
They are.

Is there any fricking mod that introduces levels to supply hubs and/or makes rail and/or infrastructure to deliver supplies on their own?
It's like the supply system from the Soviet DLC was only partially made and they've never added the lacking bits.

Is there any country in kaiserreich that gets a really early war? If yes how can i make the war even bigger by making more countries be at war with me?
Russia can get an early war by acting in a pro commie way, France gets multiple chances for an early ww2, the new Chinese states get some early game fun. Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

It is new, came with the America update. Pax Brit is really good lmao can't wait for more. Russia is getting it's update btw, it will be the next one on the list with an Asia overhaul and Prussia tree too. The reason it didn't get anything yet is probably cause a lack of direction they found now.
I tried playing France back when it released and it was fricking shit.
Is there any cyberpunk theme mods in the workshop? Because I been thinking of making a cyberpunk mod but don’t know how to research.
Basic ideas are
US become an puppet by mega-corps, USSR and PRC are Reform-Socialist and Hardline-Socialist and there’s ongoing proxy conflict in Africa support by major superpowers.
ToTA is the only mod that comes to mind but it's not on the workshop. Even then, ToTA's aesthetics aren't really in line with what people think of when they think of cyberpunk.
What do you mean by not knowing how to research?
I got some inspiration from Bladerunner and these video.
My main ideas is that “I want to provide 90s Cyberpunk theme into modern context like in the video” and I also want to make Hoi4 interactive decision seem meaningful and doesn’t feel barebones like in the vanila where trades is barebones, PP, Stability doesn’t do much, Resistance is nothing, etc.) and without felling into Mechanic/Narrative autism like TNO or gameplay focus where you get war goal on X.
First problem I have with researching is that I don’t know where to start with. How do I find interesting CEO with vision instead of people who just want to make more profits? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezo, Klaus Schwab certainly came into my head but I fear that using well-known figure wouldn’t be lame and lazy.
Second problem is that how do I translate their ideas into gameplay without making them feel like same suit different colors? Guangdong is the prime example of this. I love Guangdong but it’s basically like what I said same suit with different color, there’s nothing different between various Chief Executives aside from Narrative or gameplay focus. You are always to fight Manchuko GDP, You are always have to send division to indo, malay and columbia. How do I overcome this?
Third problem is how do I come up with the lore for the setting? How much change do I have to make and consider? How would various people’s mindset and political view change? How much military technology would have change? etc.
Sorry for wall of text btw but I just want a interactive mod that make my decision feel matter.
I don't know much about the minute details of modding, so I'll only comment on the concept.
homogenization in favor of the line going up is the driving engine of globalism - you can't really make everyone eat ze boogs and still have a bunch of colorful characters with wildly different ideologies running amok, each doing their own thing. At this point, you'll just have to ask yourself which vision of the future you want to embrace - 2020s hypermodernity where all the warring factions are 99% aligned with one another ideologically, or some kind of worldwide radical social upheaval like in LaHL. I don't think any other option is possible on the worldwide scale.
But you could change the scale. If I were you, I'd probably confine the mod to a single city-state - those are a staple of cyberpunk. Maybe some new technology dissolved the old social order, and the game takes place in an Ancapistan that no outsider will openly intervene in, no matter how dire things get inside, out of fear of getting hit back with nuclear weapons or something. Zooming in like that could allow you to showcase the nuance of your vision of the future, show off relatively low-level characters make changes that could never realistically happen on a grand scale, and it also bypasses the need for researching individuals since you can just make everyone up. Taking inspiration from the real world without actually tying yourself to it can lead you to all kinds of interesting places. EaW is a great example.
No no no it's not supposed to be homogenize. I want it to be 3 side war between Neo-Liberalism/Plutocracy vs Reform/Hardline Socialism vs Neo-Nation groups. I want it be a process from Cyberpunk to Technocracy. The US is under puppet from various mega corporations and CEO who want monopolize the entire industry but still suffer some resistance from various dissident groups and it's up to the player if they want to remain with Neo-Liberal or go with Corporatism. Western EU are also in similar setting but with Technocrat like Klaus behind the scene. USSR and ROC is having a ongoing political battle between Reform and Hardline and the Fascists/Nazis are underground organizing for a revolution in North America and Eurasia. The timeline would be this long process on whole score the most before everyone is tired of them and start to revolt.
But I think the ideas is too ambitious for newbie like me so I think that changing the scope of the mod from Global to Regional sound interesting and could serve as the basic component before I try it for real so thank you for the advice.
Hoi4 may not be the best game to work on for a cyberpunk scenario. But try it, make a small mod first, as in start commenting out as much of the world as possible and just make a small corner of the world follow your idea. If you need to edit a map I have a template that is almost moron proof.
>Corporatism
Corporatocracy, you moron.
this mod was surprisingly fun even if it ran like shit
TNO and EAW just announced a partnership
what does partnership even do?
They just promote each others' servers, I think.
Crosspromotion and sharing resources. Also you can ask other teams for help.
I thought they already partnering with each other since last year
So literally nothing.
It's funny that EaW preserved the spirit of TNO much better than TNO itself did.
A redditor made me know that TNO devs worked on Colthage and other zebra neighbors, wich maaaaakes sense given that the Star father is a World Wide evil and the Worm Queen too, but unlike in TNO the evil ones can win and theres no preachy moral lessons.
Yeah, Wittenland has the spirit of TNO's obnoxious political preachings.
Really? Maybe i was too distracted by how cute honoria is.
Yeah you will miss it if you don't read anything. Honoria is particularly stupid story, dev uses her commie friend as a mouthpiece to explain why meritocracy sucks
is the they/them libertarian the same? I only played as Honoria and the Radical Centrist.
I was initially attracted to Wittenland because it's one of the few countries that actually gives me an incentive to use magical infantry, but waiting for the leader that you actually want to play as takes forever and there's nothing to do while you wait (true for almost all of the new countries as well).
>is the they/them libertarian the same?
Idk what is that
Imagine a fat neckbeard following you 24/7 and telling you how evil you are. Sure, you can succeed in whatever you are doing, but he will stand there and constantly tell you how bad you are. I don't think it's unreasonable to be mildly annoyed by his actions
>why meritocracy sucks
just don't suck at things lol just don't be an actual fricking Black person and worthless at everything
shame Americans can't have a meritocracy because of the civil rights act
As long as you can have White Star butt frick the characters you hate and have her come on top what is the issue with preachings you hate if they end up going nowhere? Don't be that soft.
Outside of EaW and smaller mods?
No

Redpill me on this mod
It's shit, don't bother playing
It's basically vanilla but a but more autistic
Customized tanks/planes/ships are replaced with historical pre-set ones. Smaller army groups. Pre-set peace deals.
just like the real DH!!!!
I really enjoy the mod for the historical immersion but (understandably) there aren't many nations to play.
Yeah that's very true. If every nation had the content that Germany did it would be amazing. But as long as they get the Japan update in I'm happy.
>japan
do people actually enjoy playing japan and naval invading?
Yeah, Japan and Italy are some of my favorite campaigns.
You have multiple different small fronts, many naval invasions to engage in, a smaller economy than other majors, and are positioned to engage with the navies of much more powerful nations, which you need to begin working towards overcoming early on.
Also, I think the Japan update is supposed to come with a big China update, they have a pretty in-depth China which while not yet fleshed out, has a lot of different independent warlords, generals, and task forces.
imagine vanilla with even less content
If you're playing some literally who country, maybe
Be honest, do you prefer if mod authors have their own armor/air/naval trees where you just build the tank, or just build the boat or would you prefer that the dlc unit designer features be implemented?
I like the idea that it makes countries actually more unique from each other and you aren't doing the same thing every time. Though for all I know it's all identical and it's a placebo effect.
Can't believeTNO is still being developed
I thought it was dead with the speed they're going
That's a submod. I believe, and I stopped following tno for some time now, that the next update is on playable content in Ukraine. I don't know if it will be good or if it will be a slog, but it doesn't look like it will last the entire game. After that, allegedly their Mediterranean update was close to done, but I will believe it when I see it. I personally am not looking forward to anything that TNO has to offer. I had my fun and the retooled content doesn't look interesting.
How the TNO discord reacted to the """collaboration"""? It always makes me laff when they express their disgust at EAW for superficial reasons.

>Vanilla BoP mechanic
Really TFR? I expected better from you.
Also the text clips out of the box. Sloppy.
how is utilizing existing mechanics a bad thing?
I'll give you the text though.
It's just lazy. Look at TNO, for example. It's Balance of Power/influence mechanics are creative and unique between paths.
Not every mod has to be TNO (thank god)
I only said TNO because it was the best example. I could've said EAW or OWB or even UMC as well.
the only reason those mods haven't been using balance of power all this time is that it was only introduced recently. And they're already on top of it. The weird need to reinvent the wheel is a bane of all modding everywhere.
I just hate how every mod now includes this fricking generic mechanic that's not even fun to play. And most of the time it's not even a true balance of power and instead is "fill right bar get these buffs, fill left bar get these other buffs".
have a nice day.
This. I thought TNO would inspire people to be innovative, but all they took were dumb superevents and schizo cursed paths. It's so depressing

>Used GPT4 to speed up the creation process
Could the GPT shit actually help with creating more serious mods?
For coding? Not so sure.
For writing events and loc? Absolutely.
Could chatgpt write better than the TNO writers? Imagine the BTFO
writers on suicide watch
I put in some code for fun, after some tard wrangling you could get it to write focus, events, ideas, etc. But I wouldn't trust right out of the gate. The code it creates is occasionally sketchy and it obviously needs manual edits for things like positioning. I would not recommend using it for modding, you are better off learning.

>Official support for Windows 10 will continue till at least October 2025.
Well that's 3.6 million users that need to update in the coming months or lose access to their accounts until they submit and get new PC's(likely needed for most of them) or take advantage of that free upgrade to W10(still available more than 7 years after it "ended").
after watching the TFR dev streams, I can't get it up for any other mod anymore. Even my previous favorite EaW pales in comparison (the fact that the last batch of teasers has sent the /mlp/ audience into meltdown mode doesn't help).
Anything about the mod in particular you are excited about?
being able to play the game. Most mods have a fricked up pacing, where you either just click focuses and do decisions and read events for hours (TNO, PB), or they're just mindless battle royales — these are alright in theory, but in practice they tend to have shit balance and the gameplay isn't at all engaging as a result (WWZ, OWB), or they're just vanilla+ and I find vanilla boring (Darkest Hour, KR/KX, RF). EaW walked a fine line between gameplay and narrative for a while, but it's been leaning more and more towards the latter as of late.
As for the narrative, I like the heightened reality of TFR because a) the narrative serves a purpose by leading to lots of wars, i.e. lots of actual gameplay, and b) it's just cool, being able to play as John McAfee or Vladimir Zhirinovsky or whatever sounds like fun. Stuff like this is one of the main reasons I was drawn to EaW, which never needed to find compromises between fun and realism.
Modern day mods are a niche that a lot of people have tried to fill, but Extremis Ultimis seems too scattershot, TotA and MAA are cringe, LaHL is never coming out, and Millennium Dawn is a fricking bore. TFR is the only thing on the horizon that looks like fun.
>TOTA
not even a fricking competition, TFR is leagues fricking better lmao
Fair enough, I met one the lead devs. He seemed like a good enough guy and like a relatively sane person. I have not really followed the mod myself since I stopped following mods in development.
I still wish TFR put more effort into their writing. I've seen some typos here and there and their prose is very bland and dry. I know that's not a problem for everyone else but what I enjoy the most about Hoi4 is the roleplay potential and creating elaborate AUs so it feels like a shame to me. Only TNO and EAW to a lesser extent have managed to scratch that itch. Maybe Red Flood will to once (if) they update it.
i heard rf is updating soon but theyve been saying soon for a while so idk
Honestly, TFR and Pax Britannica are the only newer mods that are interesting at all to me.
>Even my previous favorite EaW pales in comparison (the fact that the last batch of teasers has sent the /mlp/ audience into meltdown mode doesn't help).
QRD on the pony civil war?
EaW devs posted a bunch of new art and a good chunk of characters were non-ponies, que /mlp/ butthurt. I agree with them though, this doesn't even look like an animal, just blatant anthro shit.
also, a while back I saw a post in one of these threads complaining that the Red Flood team turned von Mises into a caricature cruel capitalist, but I just played his path and if anything, he's too socially progressive and democratic. And the text keeps trying to frame him as a scheming israelite. Kinda weird.
Ah, the two things you never want behind a project: Russians and furries.
RIP EaW.

Reddit and Discord is normal, the /mlp/ thread had lurkers that confessed that they dont even play the mod just ape out.
>the /mlp/ thread had lurkers that confessed that they dont even play the mod just ape out.
>yeah i played the game then i saw griffons and zebras and i heard about a Black person continent
Source maybe on the archives janny was active deleting posts, i mean if you got filtered by the content did you really played well a game, why seek to get triggered.
So your proof of the /mlp/ thread not playing the game is one guy saying he played the game and didn't like the griffins and zebras?
I did not say /mlp/ does not play the game i was just shitting on the haters of the mod and i say the mod because most of the complains is like the majority of the mod, equestria really has been out of focus for the longest time.
I did not mean /mlp/ does not play the game, i meant everything was bussines as usual then anons noticed anthro and they just whined about the regular of content that there is on EAW, furshit.
More like anthro triggered idiots that dont even play the game
Haven't you ever heard of "the straw that broke the camel's back"?
Ganker poster numbers are nothing to the discord and reddit numbers or even the playerbase, if the haters opinion is i hate practically everything about the mod's lore priorities and they just lurk and arent active on the thread and things are just slow as usual and they just become active when they notice anthro shit, well its impossible to take them seriously.
