Ok I have to be honest. I fucking hate Posada. I hate how the game goes out of it's way to make her le heckin wholesome in every single event. "BUT SHE CAN BE EVIL!" says the apologist, but she is ONLY morally questionable if the player chooses evil options which are, in all honesty, always out of character. The genociding Chiropterra option especially feels like it comes out of nowhere. It's like if you won the Great War as Celestia and you got an option to ultragenocide the bugs. In the events themselves she is always presented in a positive way, so if the intention was making her a morally ambiguous character then the game failed preety hard.
I've seen the people in the 'cord get mad when someone says Posada is fully evil, saying that "she isn't totally evil OR totally nice either", but for whatever reason none of them seem to mind when someone says she is 100% epic good and wholesome. Ask yourself why that is.
Which brings me to her fans. I have, and I'm completely serious here, not seen even 1 Posada fan that isn't obviously mentally ill (I mean they're communists so mental illness is a given, but you get what I mean).
TL;DR: I fucking hate Posada

I thought you said it was supposed to be out of character.
>>
>>41010276
Directly occupying Chirroptera is well within her character. Did you miss the entire deal with her schizophrenic dream episodes? For her to see parallels between Storm King and Chiro makes complete sense.
The only disappointment in that path is that the successors after she goes BOOM don't have more content. Because, Terrafin, Hard Line and Crack all have the potential to do some interesting stuff continuing her vision with their ow streak.

It's a bit sad reading the after events of Crack especially. Just from two events you can tell he's really torn up about losing Posada despite their differences, and in the second one even can take her good lessons to heart and move away from supremacy when he sees an old photo of the two of them.

Sorry if you want actual content for them you have to fulfill Posada's shitty utopian dream even though Harmony already exists as the utopian seeking ideology (that doesn't involve subjecting millions to death and torture for not being Harmonist)

>>41030808
Well if we took off our fucking moron hats, we could probably guess that they have significantly more creative freedom with zebrican or griffonian nations because they aren't canon.
>one person was in charge of the entire EQS rework
The last time this happened we got Kiria. Why does this mod keep giving its nations to one person. Unless this mod has multiple developers on EQS all at the same time (which it won't because internet retards have no concept of teamwork) we're probably going to be stuck with what we have now for Equestria and the Changelings.

Does anyone actually know why Baron left or are we just writing fanfiction in this thread to guess?

baron threatened to cancel the equestria rework unless he got promoted to the new mod coordinator role (they get to say what goes in the mod) and was kicked soon after he raged about it. now someone else is working on equestria but they haven't announced it yet. sorry if that doesn't fit your nice little headcanon of tranny commie devs abusing power

This, plus Equestria is massive and isn't just one country anyway. If Fillydelphia has Glimmer talk about how the sisters didn't do anything and barely lifted a loaf of bread is he supposed to just say "ok"?

This isn't like all the Griffonian shitholes where devs can just make whatever they feel like and ignore everyone else. Even if he had a blank cheque with Equestria, it didn't matter if other people's bad content leaked in and made Equestria worse too

Stalliongrad is a fitting nation for a WW2-styled pony mod. It's all about moderation - you can add some ocs and original nations, but at some point it all becomes overwhelming and you just get tired of all the stuff. I think adding Zebrica was a mistake - instead of TNO-style loredumps about literally who OCs i'd prefer if the devs fleshed out the existing content. A major rework of Equestria, making the world more interconnected (what happens in a certain nation affects its neighbors and sometimes the whole continent), adding more late game content, perhaps individual paths for a global war between united Equus and united Griffonia for each possible unifier? What i'm getting at here is that a lot could still be done with the 2 existing continents and the mod could be made more interesting without the Zebrica bloat.
You could say that Griffonia is also an OC continent and you would be right, but somehow it feels fitting, it's not overdone and nicely fits together with Equus.
>>
>>41034608
>Stalliongrad is a fitting nation for a WW2-styled pony mod.
The problem is specifically in its relation to Equestria.
>>
>>41034642
One of its biggest issues is that it's perfect to form as a breakaway due to changeling interference as they prep for the Great War but it's already its own thing long before that AND the changelings only got tank experience there without actually having an active role in affairs.
>>
>>41034554
>>41034655
Funnily enough they could just steal shit from Enclave Reborn and it would make Equestria and the changelings both way more fun to play and way more fitting for their countries.

It's not just a shitty nation that's the country equivalent of an overpowered self insert OC, it also displays an astounding lack of historical literacy, writing ability, and even basic understanding of people.
Stalliongrad fits nothing other than what reads like it would be in-universe propaganda and everything about its inclusion is a complete mistake. It should be erased entirely and totally from the map and lore.

Most nations in EaW are trying to be a mirror of a real-world counterpart, whether because the writing is creatively bankrupt or just out of some attempt to appeal to normies. It's been like this since the very beginning (Stalliongrad, Olenia, Changelings). The tank models are just a symptom of it.
The best nations imo are Bears, Barrad, Wittenland, Zarantia, (and extremely reluctantly Dread League) because all of these nations embrace the fantasy setting and work within it, despite half of them lacking modern content. I'd include Tambelon among them but it's literally just the story of Star Control 2 rehashed albeit with a shittier bad guy motive.
>>
>>41036334
It's insane how slept on Zarantia is and when it is talked about the focus tends to be on the Worm Queen than anything else.
>>
>>41036637
It suscks, I'vve played their Non Aligned and Supremacist paths, and both are really fun. Non Alligned is a real feel good path, pleasant story about someone's dream coming true, and making their country better. Supremacist is fun gameplay wise, and you get insane cores.
>>
>>41036756
I loved doing Non-Aligned and just making Zarantia fucking huge by adding all the known Imazeeb tribes together, making it a truly magnificent regional power.

>communism is based on the notion that the working class in the most advanced and industrialized countries in the world will rise up and seize power
>a small insignificant group of communist revolutionaries in the poorest Euripean agrarian empire that only begins to enter the industrial age somehow manages to take the power and win an incredibly bloody civil war
>this communist state proceedes to take control of half the Europe and engage in a worldwide struggle with the rest of the world spanning half a century that only by sheer luck didn't devolve into a nuclear war
Who writes this shit? So tired of the unrealistic writing guys
>>
>>41037660
Stalliongrad requires Celestia acting with such sheer incompetence and stupidity to happen as it does and would only make sense as a changeling op.
>>
>>41037667
I suggest you read up on Nikolai the second and his brilliant leadership. Reality is stranger and much more retarded than fiction. I don't think that most people understand what an incredibly ludicrous and unrealistic the mere notion of communists coming to power in Russia was just before the WW1. Looking at that, Stalliongrad is not that unbelievable.
>>
>>41037683
The situations are entirely different, don't be disingenuous.
>>
>>41037660
>>41037683
There's a reason communism didn't arise in Britain. Or America. Or Germany. Or France. Or Belgium.
The fact that you can only use such absurd false comparisons just shows how uninformed you are on the matter.
>just before the WW1.
Gee, I wonder if the "war to end all wars" had anything to do with potentially upheaving Russian society to the point that it suffered complete breakdown.
Nah, it must've just been an inevitable matter of time until the communists took power that would've happened anyways, it was just that everyone was too stupid to notice until it was too late.
>>
>New portrait for Silver Star when he is redeemed in Wittenland.
post it
>>
>>41034885
There's a super easy way to fix Stalliongrad:

>Make it a semi-autonomous duchy that has it's own Duke but is under the Equestrian Demesne.
>It's still the heart of the industrial revolution that spread into Equestria but now the ills of it are felt locally: it's now starting to be left behind by the rest of Equestria as conglomerates and big tycoons squeeze the populace
>At game start though it's still a Duchy but there's a growing communist movement who have forced the Duke to recognize the power of the Worker Councils and the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Celestia doesn't want to intervene unless necessary, if you do so as Equestria it will trigger nationalist sentiment and probably result in a war. Even if you conquer it the moment Changelings evade they'll rise up again and you can only really pacify them by going full scorched earth as either Daybreaker or NMM so better to just leave them to their devices.
>Once any upheaval in Equestria happens revolution in the Duchy happens with several different sides potentially taking part. There always will be a communist revolt though. It's also possible for a full take over without civil war if you play your cards right as the Communists start off from a strong political position.
>Communist path plays out as normal from there with maybe an expedited power struggle between how Stalinist you want to be. Potential for other non-commie paths too.

Now communists get the play out their revolution LARP instead of it being just background lore and it makes more sense. Celestia at game start would be retarded to not invade or at least force them to recognize Canterlot's authority. If they break away during any Equestrian Shitfest stuff though than it makes way more sense.

Barrad is only really fun once. And in Wittenland only Wulfric is fun.

Celestia should in fact be a perfect ruler because that is her role in the show as well. Being a benevolent and good ruler.
The issues Equestria has to deal with should be external threats, no the internal ones. Because most of the internal threats were already dealt by Mane 6 through out the course of the show.

Communism also has plenty of non-communist socialist regimes. So the point does stand that Communism should be renamed to something more broad too.

I did another A-Z nation. This time Griffonian Republic.

I decided to go full on harmonist with this, conquering what I can through my focus and getting the elections. I went for the Wingbardian guy. I had a pretty easy time overall, likely due to the fact that the Empire was very late with its unification allowing me to attach while it was fighting Katarin.

Pros:
>Lots of unique story and events. A lot of work has been put into the lore of this nation.
>Good amount of content. Even when you beat the Empire, you'll still get a new political focus tree to go through.
>Fun gameplay and it does feel satisfying to take Griffenheim. Lots of cores to be had.

Cons:
>It gets very easy if your lucky with the Empire, especially so once you take them.

This nation is only slightly harder then the Empire, which to say, its still very easy and certainly a good option for newer players. I will say that the focus tree is great. Barely if any 70 day focuses and there's a lot of content. I feel like the Republic gets often overlooked compared to the other Griffonian majors, which is a real shame because its certainly up there in terms of quality,

Next up will be Griffon Liberation Army.
