Dev said it was removed, because Sombra's military goals are incompatible with NMM and difficult to make compatible with Chrysalis.
>>
Sombra should mind-control every leading mare he conquers and make them join his harem
>>
>>43336563
That would simply be too based for the devs. But yes, that is what his path should be all about.
>>
>>43336473
That is not really true, Chrysalis can be quite pragmatic, that is how the marriage was always framed. If she marries Sombra she would still be the second most powerful being on the continent and she can still harvest rest of ponies for love within both realm.
And marriage with NMM could still work too, for example if the civil war drags on or if Celestia goes Daybreaker during it.
I agree with what the other anon said that lot of devs really lack imagination, and cant think about how to make different paths interect, so it ends up everyone agaisnt everyone.
Even if the entire context of Fiendship Axis was that Sombra was a puppetmaster controlling his allies, evne at expense of less conquest.

The problem is that the current developers are shitlib faggots and literally can't imagine anything other than retarded dysfunctional governments. Even the average 4chan chud would be more creative than Discord troons.
>>
>>43338188
Define dysfunctional, because if you mean the countries starting usually in some sort of crisis, economic or political or leader change. Then that is just a natural part of it being a game, which fundamentally requires a sense of progress and improvement as the game continues.
>>
>>43338208
I'm talking about at the end of the game. Every country starts with various problems and that's perfectly fine. The problem is that many of the newer tags are still dysfunctional and retarded at the end of the game.
>>
I just want the shitlib devs to bite the bullet and make grover 6 trans. You just know they want it so bad, but they don't because they know the second they do that their mod will die quickly. I want EaW to collapse tno style, troons fighting. So that 4chan can finally recover EaW and make a fork "EaW true canon edition". It would be so perfect

Stop outting yourself, tranny chaser.
>>43338373
I think that you are forgetting that the actual meaning of grooming is teaching or raising, most commonly used in relation of raising your heir.
Which is exactly what is happening in the mod. Nothing else, that your sick, internet-rotted mind thinks of.
>>
>>43338338
>>43338373
>>43338383
I know you 3 jest or whatever but making Grover trans would make the empire better lore wise. Right now Grover isn't a character, at best he is an idea. Trans Grover is a character with emotions, desires, goals, conflict. Imagine if Kemerskai was like Grover, just the "republican" and nothing more, no personality, no difficult decisions to make, nothing, just Sunglider doing everything. That is current Grover, a non character. Making him trans would elevate the lore and I mean this most sincerely.
>>
>>43338398
You need to be dragged out of your home and hanged.
>>
>>43338398
Kill yourself, trannychaser.
>trannychaser can't read the events
There is plenty of character to Grover and the Empire has the most lore in Griffonia.
>>
>>43338398
Na, he has events telling use how he is growing up. For example on his birthday he gets a tank for the changelings and for the commie dogs he gets waffles with his regent. There's more but those are the ones off of the top of my head.

Also turning grover trans will kill the mod. If you want trans grover then there a submod on steam for that.
>>
>>43338422
>>43338572
The tank event is so stupid, because all grover descriptions and early events mention "he is so bright, a genius, a true leader fr fr no cap". But he is actually a worthless disgusting fucking kid retard piece of shit that deserves to be killed, he is a fucking retard, a spoiled stupid kid. Nothing about him is grand or impressive or heroic or smart or anything, he is a fucking spoiled piece of shit idiot who doesn't care about killing citizens and servants and running tanks into buildings even in his "kind" upbringing timelines.

This is your hero Pony haters, because all of you who like grover or griffonia are Pony haters, you don't even like Pony if you like EaW because EaW is all about griffons and griffonia.
>>
>>43338586
Have you not played the post-coronation content? His "kind" upbringing literally leads to him to moderating the previous millitarism and trying to create a stable Empire, by listening to some of the opposition demands and giving voice to the autonomists so that they their grievences do not tear Empire apart again. He is literally the Emperor of the People.
>>
>>43338586
So what your saying is, young children don't make for good leaders? Wow, it's almost like there's a reason they don't immediately put him in charge and give him a regent.

You are retarded,

>>43344729
The original Equestria dev left/got booted from the team a while ago and made his own (unfinished) submod from his work.
The current rework is "ongoing" with a few scarce teasers, so probably not anytime soon.

Fucking hell.
Please keep O'Sullivan's Law in mind every time you start a project and people start joining in.
>>
>>43344883
Well, that doesn't really work because none of the original big Majors (Scroup, Cyrys, Psody, Yard and Featherus) was rightwing. They were all flavour of centre left and further to the left.
>>
>>43344871
>The original Equestria dev left/got booted from the team a while ago
This is why, as the project head, you have to force all official releases to pass through you.
Do not let anyone else have ownership permission of your Discord server, GitHub repo, YouTube channel, etc.
Maintain a system-enforced top layer of control over EVERYTHING, where you are the sole individual in that layer.

It doesn't prevent your team turning on you, but it does prevent a coup which would otherwise seize the original "official" accounts from you and lock you out.
If the team wants to do their own thing, then they have to separate and start their own accounts, which will forever have the taint of being clear forks.

Granted, I'm not familiar with how these coups actually happen, but I presume it always involves the mistake of giving additional individuals top-level-admin access to the official project accounts.
>>
>>43345964
Baron was not the owner of the mod nor Major, nor was he project head. He was just Equestria dev, previously doing for example Sirens, and also Horseworder (writer).
>>
>>43346025
Sirens are amazing in EAW.
>>
>>43346064
Yep
>>
>>43345907
>Scroup, Cyrys, Psody, Yard and Featherus
I remember scroup, he was the russian bastard who insisted on creating stalliongrad. He ruined the mod from the start by introducing communism to Equestria. The worst part is that he is such a coward that he claims to be a soldier but never saw any action in the Ukraine war or some shit. If I am not mistaken all those devs are russian and also communists in real life, and the fuckers insist on defending and inserting as much communism as possible.

Those motherfuckers ruined MLP, communism in the mod is the only reason most people drop this shit. Why communism? Equalism is right there, use Equalism if you want a collectivist ideology.
>>
>>43346339
>If I am not mistaken all those devs are russian and also communists
lol, new cutie, good one
Cyrus is croatian
Psody is american
Yard is polish
Featherus is british
>>
>>43346339
I think the only reason why Stalliongrad is in the mod is because he wanted a USSR in the mod to balance the great war. And then it kinda stuck.

But yeah the current team isn't the best.
>>
>>43346428
>he wanted a USSR in the mod to balance the great war. And then it kinda stuck.
My question is, why do most people, including even anons here, just accept his ideas as canon? Why do they let him or the new group bastardize MLP? There is literally 0 opposition. Even with the new trans griffon that will be added, anons at most barely claim to be angry at it but they happily embrace it anyway, no desire to stop the group, no desire to create a true canon 4chan experience, nothing. You all go "we love you furries, you are the true kings who deserve to hold MLP!"

I am not blaming you specifically, but the other 95% of anons here.
>>
>>43346435
>>43346435
Anon, you are overreacting this. The mod literally started as a fun scenario of literally Barbarossa but with ponies. That is literally why historical path results in All Ponies Front against the Changelings. If anything, obsession with ideologies, races, cannons and so on ruined the mod. Treating it as some deep medium that will change the world. People forget it is a game meant to be fun.
>>
>>43345907
I know. That's not my point. What I mean is that the only way to keep people who decay your project out is by keeping O'Sullivan Law in mind.
>>
>>43346435
I personally treat it like a AU, it has its own conon and it's largely it's own thing. But there was pushback on the trans give. Lots of people put negative responses on the I believe a slovic word for bullshit. But the mods removed the negative feedback. and probably suspended many. Lucky I wasn't one but still.
>>
>>43346503
I think the biggest issue here is that people don't read literature and in general have a very shallow understanding of themes and aesthetics.

Reliability can easilly be fixed with infantry equipment designer + repair company. It is a non isdue. Plus you can produce infantry equipment so fast that it matters even less.
Reliability is a meme.
It only matters on tanks.

I've been thinking of making a submod for EAW where there's a small Anonymous state, the "Anonstate" if you will. I recently tested spawning countries in via game rules (after pilfering the NCR's code). My problem is that I'm not actually well versed enough to portray /mlp/ in an accurate light.
>>
>>43351005
Where would the country be?
>>
>>43351014
Somewhere in Equus/Equestria, and maybe a colony somewhere in Griffonia. Could be a portal, could be sudden teleportation to Equestria that humans show up. I'm not sure. Just spitballing.
>>
>>43351005
The furryschizo could be the supremacist leader. Wants to purge the world of all non-pony races and communism, so that the only ones who remain are what's advertised on the box - my little ponies.
>>
>>43351005
Just repurpose the NCR tag, it is in perfect location already, nobody plays it anyway, and focus tree is shit. Change parties,give it new leaders, make events and some focus tree. And generals. All thd leaders and generals should use different art of anonfilly, anon mare and anonstallion.

HoI4's fanbase is at least 50% political radicals, who wish their side has won back in the day. Wehraboos are especially common, but there is a sizeable crowd of Kolchak, Denikin and Wrangel fanboys, who coom to the idea of the knights of honor and duty returning from the brink to sweep away the bolshekiv hordes.
Alesia is this, but as a fuckable mare.

>>43352271
Exactly, that is shit. You were already playing as a yourself, just an ordinary nameless pony that stumbles on a secrete cult. You didn't need a name or anything that would make you special. You were more of an observer there and occassionally helping a group,maybe romancing one of the two characters and when eberything was over you just opened a restaurant togethere and once more faded from history. It was just a minor slice of life adventure.
As I have said, modern nufag devs don't umderstand aesthetics because they don't read.
>>
>>43353081
You can just *not* name your OC if you don't want to. It literally says so on the tooltip. The devs also said there would be multiple endings in the screenshot, so it's possible you can keep out of the spotlight and just open a side shop like in the original story.
>>
>>43353349
That still entirelly changes the aesthetic of the story, and said aesthetic was what carried this event chain and made it so good and memorable.
>>
>>43353363
It really doesn't. Your just being retarded. You can name the OC whatever you want.
>>
>>43353371
Nameing the character already means that you play as the character, not yourself. Which was part of the fun.
And as I said, it entirelly changes the aesthetics and shittifies them in the endless pursuit of TNOfication. Less is more.
I already denounce this rework to be shit and in time you will come to see I was right as always.
>>
>>43353383
Nope, it is looking great so far.

>I was right as always

Hey anons, hoi4 devs asked users in the paradox forums for their opinions on paratroopers and how to change them into a good mechanic. In case you have a paradox account, I recommend posting your thoughts because EaW has Pegasi. Any change to paratroopers (especially a positive change) would make Pegasi more fun to play with.
>>
>>43353507
I think their fine, but they should make them cooler.
>>
>>43353507
Do paratroopers NEED any changes?
>>
>>43353511
>>43353512
Well, in the thread there are 3 main opinions gaining traction
>1. Make sure the ai can use paratroopers, at least a bit
>2. Make paratroopers less tedious to set up (less individual clicks)
>3. Make paratroopers not instantly die when dropping on enemy troops
The third one seems like one of those changes that would affect the entire game easily, dropping paratroopers on frontline enemies to always break the frontline comes to mind.
>>
>>43353521
>>3. Make paratroopers not instantly die when dropping on enemy troops
Can't fix the reality. You either manage to hold the [insert objective here] or die.
