Did another A-Z while there was no thread up. This time Kingdom of Wittenland.I decided to try getting Voliare route as I already played the normal harmonist and supremacist ones, and I saw a bunch of Wulfric already. In the end, I puppetted most of southern Griffonia, Romou and most of the north. The nation is a lot bigger then it looks. I did stay in the Coalition as well.Pros:>A cool magic system, letting you give yourself buffs and debuffs to your enemy as well as giving you dragons and ursas.>Cool story stuff. Very flavorful nation.>Some fun potential wars.Cons:>While still fun, some other paths do offer better action.>The way expansion works is through decisions where you get wargoals on supremacist nations bordering you, which can be limiting if you like conquest.>Voliare just leaving the story felt a bit anticlimactic to his character.Overall, probably the best nation in the Riverlands. Very fun and flavorful, though I can't help but think this path might be among the worst of it. Not bad, but I was wishing that I played another one. If you want to play this nation, I'd suggest going Honoria as I think she's the most fun.Next up would be Kingdom of Yakyakistan.
>>43099373I want to fuck that changeling.
I find it funny how the Nazi bugs are mostly simped for by the brownest, most Mexican plebbitors.
>>43099740>nazi bugsThis is literally a reddit take.There is nothing nazi about them. They are literally a Whermacht the country.
>>43099740Their more like an evil monarchy with some Nazi influence then full-blown nazis. Reformistan are a much better analogue for them.
>>43099760Actia Pagala is just bug Dirlewanger, while an earlier version of the mod even had an event with an isekaid SS soldier as a Changeling.
>>43100071Dieter was a reference to fanfic (which I never will forgive nudevs for removing him), and neither his or Actia´s presence disproven that they are literally a Wehrmacht the country in how the Changeling Lands operate.
intercontinental wars are kino
Never played the mod, I just like the fact it's feeding my military uniform fetish, especially for the changelings.
>>43100228But then you have to deal with navy.
>>43100276I like navy thoughI built a modern fleet to subdue the changelings with by using Haukland to jump off ofyou can also just deathstack all the fleets you steal from every nation you kill while snowballing if you don't care
>>43100276Easy.
>>43100099>WehrmachtYeah, the Nazi German army, as opposed to the "Deutsches Heer" (the Imperial German army) or the "Bundeswehr" (the modern day German army).The Changeling Lands aren't literally the Nazis and Chrysalis isn't literally Hitler in the same way that Stalliongrad isn't literally the USSR and Wheatin isn't literally Stalin. The Changeling Lands have the same role as basegame Germany, while even Stalliongrad is reduced to the role of a support tag that shows up halfway through the war with a hundred factories instead of being a front in its own right. There are still edgy Mexicans simping for Nazi Germany and the Changeling Lands.
>>43100228Which nation forms that?
>>43101547It's a submod for Falcor I found when someone was shilling it on an SS13 server of all places.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3645029435&searchtext=falcorI thought it was fun despite the pregnant lesbian fetish plotline.
>>43101598>the pregnant lesbian fetish plotlineAs in "lesbians getting dick", or what?
>>43101036You are a literal retarded normalfag. Who knows nothing between history. There is a difference between the Nazi Party, the SS, and the Wehrmacht. Because the entire Germany was deeply factionalistic. And Changelings are specifically the Wehrmacht. Also, Vasily is not Stalin. Steel Stalion is Stalin, you absolute donkey.
>>43102147Infighting between the Nazis doesn't change the fact that they were all Nazis.Steel Stallion is Lenin.
>>43099373I want that Changeling to fuck me.
>>43102402>Infighting between the Nazis doesn't change the fact that they were all Nazis.You keep proving how much of a dumb normalfag you are the more you keep talking.Different factions had different goals and ways of doing things. And Steel Stallion is literally Stalin and his name is literally a reference to Man of Steel which is origin of name Stalin. You retard.
>>43102430https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diY2nFv9LRMThat can be arranged
>>43102449No, you're the retard. Almost everything that you have said in these threads was retarded.Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan each had massive amounts of infighting, but they were all Nazis. Look up actual history instead of only reading fiction.Steel Stallion is obviously named after Stalin, but his character and role are obviously Lenin.
>>43102483>Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan each had massive amounts of infighting, but they were all Nazis.You have reached a new level of retardation. They were fascists. Nazisim is just one of the strains of Fascism. You absolute colossal retard. >but his character and role are obviously Lenin.Wrong again, Alitidiya is very clearly Lenin
god I wanna fuck every single bug in this mod so badly
>>43102507true Trimmel is a perfect husbando
>>43102496>You have reached a new level of retardation. They were fascists. Nazisim is just one of the strains of Fascism. You absolute colossal retard.Ignoring the fact that fascist Italy effectively became subordinate to Nazi Germany, I meant that the various infighting branches of Nazi Germany were all Nazis, the various infighting branches of fascist Italy were all fascists, and so on. Infighting isn't something that only affects commie retards.>Wrong again, Alitidiya is very clearly LeninNo she isn't. Lenin led the Soviet revolution, and Steel Stallion led the Severanya revolution.
>>43102513Faggot. Maxim Gorky was right.
>>43102543Thranx is very cute too
>>43102513>>43102596trueI meant it when I said every single bug
Total Bug Victory
>>43102695My Hivesmarschall can be this cute
>>43102702The bugs have never won in any of my games, even when I was playing some other tag.
>>43102726Sounds like a (You) problem. The bugs always win all of my games, even when I'm playing against them.
>>43102731Either the developers improved the bugs' AI without improving the ponies' AI, or you strengthened the bugs in the game settings, or you're just an edgy LARPing Mexican.
evenin' fellas
>>43099443do one where you turn the whole continent into little green river fiefdoms
>>43102785The River Federation once did something like this in one of my games. The Griffonian Republic left the south alone and somehow elected Guildedwing. Barrad was somehow guaranteed by the Minotaurs, so when the River Federation declared war on Barrad, it resulted in a massive war. When the River Federation eventually won, they puppeted the south, which somehow lowered world tension to zero.
Best background?
Best music in the OST?
I wish there was more weird fantasy wunderwaffe
Are they ever gonna rework Equus or is it still a furry game pretending to be pony? Haven't played EAW in like 5 years.
>>43103832it still hasn't happened and it will be shit when it doescheck back in 5 more years
>>43103844no it wont
>>43103803I wish, both magical and magi-tech projects are severely underrepresented; I've been saying that all along. >>43103882I wish you could do this. Considering the soze of bears in EAW, ponies or changelings could easily ride on top of them and you could put a a small turret on them too.
>>43103204
>>43103204For me, it is forever this one, it has the best aesthetic that I wish the mod had leaned into more.
>>43104723Problem is the WW2 tech setting. Just cannot work with that forever.
>>43105220It can, it works perfectly well for Funger o Kiseki.
I'll be hosting an EAW game this Sunday at 18:30 CET.
>>43105712hot
>>43105344Thats nice.
>>43099373So is this game like C&C but boring?
>>43106408Yes basicaly but with more choice for the story
>>43106408No.
>>43105712Not gonna be able to make itHave fun
>>43105712Lobby is up! Game will be starting at 18:30!ID: 90282961463952409PW: /mlp/Mods: Equestria at War, Player Led Peace Conferences, State Transfer Tool MPHotjoin and coop will be on.
>>43106408its better
>>43102513Would Trimmel enjoy headpats and boops?
I made a MLP discord server for everyone to partake in! Join if you want to, we're ERP-ing https://discord.gg/ucvcpHsD
>>43107585Why are you advertizing this here?
So what do you all use your late-game industry on besides planes and missilesI feel like I have hundreds of more military factories than I actually need whenever I finish conquering one of the continentsI used to just spam super-heavy tanks until paradox removed their line battalions for whatever reason
wtf
>>43108286Dem convoys.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3683157157Has anyone tried this?
>>43107570Like all changelings, he will bite your hand if you try to boop him, but he secretly likes it.
>>43108925cute!
>>43107914Trains. Duh.
saddest river federation flag I've ever seen
>>43110464Is there any method for getting the larger version?
>>43110464I've seen just two star federation
>>43110800It's RNG but supposedly the odds increase depending on your ideology, the ideology of everyone else in the faction, and your relations with them. Puppets used to be auto-annexed by the event but they no longer get added to the River Coalition.I was playing Diamond Mountain at the time so getting the full federation was pretty hopeless, even after I did the harmonist coup and improved relations.It's honestly not an interesting region. Hellquill for some reason never even attacked and Barrad died to Kasa.
>>43107914I convert all of my equipment into modern equipment and I build things such as infrastructure and railways.
>>43111240I think that the Riverlands are mostly just meant to ease new players into the game and otherwise get used by the AI. Nothing really interesting actually happens there, so it just serves as either a challenging enemy or a potential trading partner.
>>43111240>Diamond Mountain at the time so getting the full federation was pretty hopelessbehold and weep
>>43111282Molly-sama...I kneel...
>>43111282How? Warmongering and annexing? Puppeting and inviting to the federation? I have never seen the River Federation get that big.
>>43111442I formed the Federation the normal way and then I have justified on countries who generated world tension. And eventually killed the Empire after they went to war with me. And the fun part of the Federation mechanic at the start was that you could have integrated all the puppets you had into it. It was truly a more beautiful days when EAW was actually fun.
>>43111490Wow, they really are nerfing all of the fun out of the game.
Is anyone having issues with the latest patch for HOI4? Austurland, Barrad, and Olenia seem to be using human men in their armies.
>>43111808Okay after swapping to random tags it seems to be hitting different nations at random where their models get replaced by the ones in the base game. Weird.
>>43111808Better they die then ponies.
>>43111808It's a bug that happens in some updates.>>43111960Anon, you're a human man. You aren't a woman because there are no women on the internet.
Is there any point in building infrastructure instead of just more civilian factories until lategame?
>>43112631civilian economy gives bonuses to it and I like to build my factories on at least 60% infrastructure.
>>43112994It works in vanilla where you know where things kick off, but in EAW most of the conflicts start already in 1007 or 1008. So you are better off being factories and actually prepare. Most of the focus trees also already give quite a lot of infrastructure.
It is really sad that there are no nice, calm, peacefull and whimsical events for pre-war Equestria.It is such a wasted opportunity. I am listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ4HdhKJITIand it would really make for a great event. Personally, I blame Horse for being a retard, because he was rewriting some new of events and adding some back in 2019, yes, you are soulless, you hear that.
>>43113286There's that one with the dragon, but I don't think it's EQS-specific.
>>43113332I once got the event chain that gives an Elder Dragon unit as the Arcturian Order, harmonist Greneclyf, and even Klugetown.
underrated nation?
>>43113749Haukland, New Mareland, Fezera, Skynavia, Angriver, Sicameon, Kása
Sicameon leader is simply the best
>>43114164Vicky 2?

>>43114786sad
>>43115590The Equestrian Century.Equestria has reasserted itself as the continental hegemon, with massive amounts of infrastructure, industry, technology, and equipment. A cold war is beginning between it and Stalliongrad that will eventually end with Stalliongrad rejoining Equestria.Griffonia only has four countries: The Griffonian Republic spanning most of the continent, the River Federation ruling the east of the continent, the Arcturian Order watching over the frozen northeast, and New Mareland where it was. All of these countries are industrialised and have lots of infrastructure and good relations with each other.Zebrica is dominated by Aris and Kiria.
>>43115742>A cold war is beginning between it and StalliongradStalliongrad would already be part of Equestria for such setting to exist. Equestrian Century would be Equestria already standing as a dominant power, because everyone who could oppose harmony was already destroyed.
>>43115903I thought that it meant Equestria beating the Changelings and reasserting itself as the continental hegemon. Stalliongrad is powerful (with its large population and lots of factories), but Equestria would still be the continental hegemon. Wheatin is also less hostile to Equestria than Serov is.
>>43116024I always imagined Equestrian century as total harmonic victory over all threats. What you describe I always imagined, at least personally, as Interventionist Equestria Intra Twilight Worldwide Harmony.Although, if I had to pick a favourite setting, it would have to be between Undead Conquest Catharsis or Chromium Shortage Cold War Deadlock
>>43116039What would Empress Protector Daybreaker or Project Phoenix Celestia ruling all of Equus be?
>>43116170KILL ALL CHANGELINGS, MURDER ALL CHANGELINGS, ROUNDHOUSE KICK ALL CHANGELINGS, NAPALM ALL CHANGELINGS
Project Pheonix Celestia would fit the Interventionist Equestria Forced Harmony
>>43116177BASED.
>>43116039What would be your least favourite setting?
>>43115590Dissilusion is not a good end.
>>43116730What are you talking about? Everyone knows that balkanising countries into lots of tiny countries is wholesome! Big countries are bad!
>>43117016Why?
Did another A-Z game. This time Kingdom of Yakyakistan.I went harmonist for this one, got a civil war victory and managed to conquer bits of land next to me. Unfortunately, as Equestria won, and I got no wargoal on Nova Griffonia, and since they are in an endless war against Stalliongrad, who was the only one I could justify on, I decided to end it there. I pretty much got all the story-related parts of the focus tree done anyway and there were no other wargoals from it.Pros:>Fun civil war.>Some nice story bits.Cons:>The civil war buildup phase with the clans is a bit too easy. If you remotely know what you are doing (this was my first time playing), Jackistan will never get any other clan on their side.>Nothing much to do after winning.Overall, while not horrible, and possibly better if you buff up the changelings to win the Great War, I am disappointed with Yakyakistan. Jackistan seems like a better-made nation overall. As a result, Yakyakistan, despite being the more "canon" nation, I feel like your better off not playing them because the better yaks are right next to them, though this might change based off what path you chose.
>>43117375You don't get any wargoals because you ended up buying the land from Nova Griffonia.The clans mechanic is relatively easy for a human player if you know what you're doing, but still, the main clan that you have to worry about as a human player is the Juyilkhai clan. If they end up leaving, then it ends up eating equipment and manpower for the entire civil war.
>>43116730It says dissolution, dislexic-kun. It refers to unfinished cold war mod for EAW where after the war Equestria became even more autonomous and gave more power to mayors to govern their regions.
Any good pony mods for strategy games other than HOI4?
