———NOTABLE UTILITY MODS———
>Player Led Peace Conferences
Effectively mandatory for all playthroughs where scripted peaces aren’t a factor. Puts (you) in total control of the peace proceedings so post-war Europe/Asia looks pretty.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=846066944

>Toolpack
Gives the player a togglable menu to change party popularity, give buildings, transfer states and annex, etc. Great for getting yourself/an AI country out of trouble, or fixing bordergore.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2913150560

>Better AI
Swaps the stock AI package for one that is much more aggressive, and gives them in-game stat buffs. Best for people who think base HOI4 is too easy. Not compatible with mods that also change the AI/unit types.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3369706283

>Industrial Expansion
Adds 5 new building types to refine steel, aluminum, tungsten, chromium and coal. Adds a new infrastructure type of the same name as the mod, adding building slots the more IE is built.

And now, the news!
————
As usual, Paradox releasing their new DLC, No Compromise no Surrender, has disrupted the modding scene! Most of the big mods like Kaiserreich/Redux and TNO updated, but some like Cold War: Iron Curtain and Pax Britannica remain dormant.

Many mods have been made to alleviate/bypass the new coal mechanic for industry, but not even one has been published reverting the changes made to navy. Sad!
>>
>>2297283
That's actually a really helpful list. Only changes I can think of would be:
>Rises Again might be a good inclusion
>The other TNO fork is from 24 because they split over Antarctica
>It'd be funny to have a blurred out map of EaW snuck in somewhere
Also you should move some of this to the OP to lower the post count.

Are there any other apps that could be listed?

Like a drawing of his face? I'd say no because that would kind of takeaway from the idea that he could be just any other young man in the French military who gets radicalized by all the shit going on around him. At most I'd say him being drawn with his helmet/visor cracked open revealing one of his eyes and a small bit of his face could be cool. Would also be cool if iaArt1 drew him wearing Charlemagne's crown and sitting on his throne.

Whatever he draws could never match the ideal. No disrespect to the artist, but let's just keep it ambiguous.

Although if he did, Lafayette would obviously be a blonde girl with a gigantic rack that deflects RPG-7 shots with ease.

>Nikola Perović is a Franco-Serbian volunteer who served with the pro-Russian separatist forces in eastern Ukraine during the 2014-2015 conflict. He is a veteran of the elite French ground forces who joined the far-right organization Unité Continentale alongside Victor Lenta.[1] Perović served as part of a group of French fighters that included Mickael Takahashi, Guillaume Lenormand, and Victor-Alfonso Lenta who arrived in Donetsk in August 2014.[2]
>In the Donetsk People's Republic, Perović and the Unité Continentale group conducted observation and patrol missions near the front lines. He was involved in a leadership dispute with Victor Lenta over control of the group, contributing to internal divisions within the unit.[3] The Unité Continentale organization was dissolved by Novorossiya authorities by early 2015 following internal conflicts and organizational issues. Those members who remained in the region were transferred to other units.[4]
>He can become the leader of France if Laffayette is killed during the siege of Paris
I have no idea where they find all of these people. I didn't even know Lafayette can be killed.

Also some other stuff I got:
>If AWD gets to regional level, an event chain starts that leads to an AWD takeover in Germany after Franz goes full Hitler. If AWD wins 2ACW, then it can influence politics in Europe and unlock multiple schizo paths in Europe that wouldn't be out of place in XU, RF, FMTW, Post-Catharsis or MC mods

>an event chain starts that leads to an AWD takeover in Germany after Franz goes full Hitler
It's really weird that there's an event about the AWD being active in Germany that goes literally nowhere, I thought it would come back up when you go far-right Germany. But they're never mentioned again. I hope they become more involved in far-right Germany in a future update or they appear Post-Catharsis.

>>2298196
Maybe it's a flavour submod screwing up? I went liberal Medvedev, two party system and crossed out ldpr. But event about national russia being formed didn't fire, and during election davankov was the only option. I went to reddit, found a command that sets event flag and got him elected but again, no focus tree. Which sucks, I wanted to go for Azarenok. Alikhanov and coups have some of the best narrative.
I don't know, maybe I was not supposed to deal with cprf? But no guide mentioned that.

Yeah no he's not satanist, he's just a really fucking evil Nazi. He's to nazis what nazis are to SJWs. I'm talking borderline comically evil, except it's played straight. The reason I included O9A is because (in my backstory, not IRL) they tried to convert him, and he looked at their shit and went "yeah nah I can do better, y'all are fucking pussies" and barely made it out with his life after that.

Silly.

Well, he has a book called It's Me, Eddie, the very first novel he wrote, where main protagonist is called Eddichka (which is short for Eduard), a Russian immigrant from NYC (Limonov himself lived there in 70s before moving to Paris) starts munching black cocks after his wife left him (it is believed that he based that character on his second wife, Elena Schapova). So, "metaphorically" — most definitely, "physically" — it isn't proven per se, although he describes it pretty thoroughly.
