And now, the news!————Most of the big mods have now updated for 1.17, but Requiem still lags behind unfortunately.Two big mods have even had Christmas updates too! The Fire Rises added a full post war path to the Union of America, and Red Dusk gave much more content to the UK, Czechoslovakia, and general QoL changes mod-wide.But unfortunately, this Christmas was not a happy one for TFR. Most of the mod’s China team in the People’s Republic of China was forced to go underground and leave the modding scene after… something happened to the China lead. A rumor came out that MSS black bagged him, but there’s no confirmation yet. With most of the members of CN-TFR gone, the TFR team has formally disbanded CN-TFR.We do have some words of assurance, as their head devs said this won’t impact 1.1’s release, and will only delay further China content. Whether or not this will pan out remains to be seen.Please, pray for the safety and well-being of our brethren on the other side of the great firewall.

Here at the Cyberhearts team we are proud to present you our first big teaser! For the jolly Christmas times, we thought fitting to showcase one of the possible paths for Poland: Post-Deluge Christian Democracy. It is one of the 3 (?) possible paths this country has and we can't wait for you all to play it.Also, as an additional Christmas present, we have included our version of the song that makes Mariah Carey get a trillion dollars each Holiday Season. Made by our local talent, Rice.May you all enjoy Christmas if you celebrate it. If you don't, may you enjoy it anyways. Hug those you love and stuff yourselves as much as you'd like. From the entire Cyberhearts team, Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year!Please also note that any aesthetic choices and GFX designs are absolutely not final and will probably be changed!! (the focus tree design and the event design will definitely be changed)
>>2309393Sick, QRD on the mod?
>>2309395Cyberhearts is a HOI4 total conversion mod inspired by Cyberpunk 2077 and similar universes.The following countries will have content but note that it is subject to changeNorth America: -United Protectorates of AmericaSouth America:-Plurinational State of TawantinsuyuEurope:-Republic of France-German Confederation-Poland-Hellenic Republic-Nordic Union-Russian RepublicAsia:-People's Republic of China-Japanese Shogunate-United Arab Republic
As a late Christmas Teaser, we present to you the starting situation of the Republic of Ireland

>>2309433>What does Requiem do differently or add?Omsk and Novosibirsk have full post unification content and 2wrw war content.
>>2309440For Old World Blues I'd recommend the Pioneer Company, there's also the Enclave Reborn Redux submod but I would check that out after playing base OWB for a while.
>>2309417War has changed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLRV0w5fCTA
>>2309443Thanks. I only put off OWB for so long because of how many unique mechanics it has. What makes the Pioneer Company fun? Any other suggestions?
>>2309448>What makes the Pioneer Company fun?It's just cool playing as a US military detachment stuck up in Canada and trying to rebuild the US up in the freezing north. It also has a somewhat challenging start which is nice. >Any other suggestions?Troll Warren is also fun, it's one of the older paths in the mod, but it still holds up imqho.
>>2309445Why Robots?
>>2309440>>Red Worldit's outdated by today's standards as the mod creator passed away a long time ago.there are 3 continuation mods:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3279394255For this one, I know Germany and Canada have new content.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2166453693Note that this isn't update for the latest game version and is the ""official"" continuation https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947610779This one isn't updated either.You can downgrade your game to the last version on steam easily though.For recommended countries, probably one of the eastern USA countries.>>Red DuskSoviet Union has really good content.UK & USA are pretty good too.>>Old World BluesCan be a bit overwhelming, because this changes everything including the tech trees and how divisions work.Most countries with unique content are fine I think.
>>2309452Because mechs (also a Metal Gear reference) and Gundams are cool.
>>2309451I'll give it a shot, thanks again anon.>>2309453I went with the "official" continuation since that came up first when searching Red World. I'll try out Red Dusk and OWB first then. Thanks to you too.
I'm trying to do the WEF path and it keeps crashing.
>>2309457>I went with the "official" continuation since that came up first when searching Red Worldhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3279394255is a direct fork of that, so you wouldn't need to downgrade if you play that
>>2309461Is it crashing randomly or at specific moment?
>>2309453>For this one, I know Germany and Canada have new content.Union of Heartlands too but it is pretty shit compared to Canada and Germany
>>2309457>I went with the "official" continuationSadly it will never do anything worthwhile. It started to finish the Canada, German, Soviet update of the original creator and never delivered. Instead it produced content for bunch of worthless shitholes and Spain.
>>2309510Is there a better fork?
>>2309512The one that adds Canada and Germany is the only one worth playing.
>>2309445The first two had the right idea.
>>2309514This one, I'm guessing?>>2309474
Wait, so the memetic plagues and such are the NG+ Cognoscenti content? That sucks.
>>2309519I think NG+ content is a cool idea, have any other mods done this?
Looks like schizo-religiouscore is back on the menu.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3632123329
>>2309520Not as far as I'm aware, and that's a good thing. NG+ mechanics have their place in some places, HOI4 isn't one of them, since it's not very interesting to play the same path twice in a row. I was looking forward to the locked content stuff, and now it turns out I have to do an almost identical run again to access it.
>>2309534Personally if I like a new path enough I'll usually run it back anyway, I can understand having an issue with it here though due to how long and content dense the path is. However I didn't mind it.
>>2309393>>2309396>Inspired by 2077Ok, starting out with Poland is fine, CDPR and all that.
>>2309520AFAIK no. TFR is the trailblazer in this regard.TFRDEITIES dunking on TNOtroons as usual.
Has anyone else played Age of Imperialism? I like it overall but it feels somewhat unfinished and definitely unpolished with advisor portraits still not being implemented. The general setup is good but it feels very random with the wars which seem to just happen for no reason and out of nowhere. I think it would be a better idea to have set enemies such as Germany vs Russia and France rather then the way it is currently implemented. There is just so much more room to improve regarding why wars happen.
>>2309551>TNOtroons It's even worse. They got rid of the schizo troons like Pacifica and all creative autists are long since gone. The mod is currently being run by centrist normies. It's gotten so bad that people long for when troons ran it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ctnCWeWgg
>>2309560Also a significant amount of faction joining by minor nations is just annoying, especially when it barely makes sense. It just turns the entire world into one big cluster of inter connected wars which is not enjoyable to play. I think an interesting way to do it is, for example, to have Japan declare war on Russia if they are distracted with Germany and Finland yet do not have any other Commonwealth nation join it so that that area of the map gets active without causing the world to become flooded. Similarly a limited war between Britain and rebelling colonies could be implemented rather then have India join a faction centred in Europe which is just odd. A war between Britain and the United States could work also but that again would need a good level of setup to make work.
>>2309560it feels like a good sandbox mod from the few countries I played since its pretty much always randomized on what faction people join
Continuing with my senate idea, I put MC as the example because I don't know of any other mods that do an alliance thing. However, I think it turned out good.Copypasted from previous thread:TFR devs,if you're reading this, J6 is the best possible day for a Oct 18 repeat, with the big batch of teasers, thunderdome guy coming back, and the 1.1 release date announcement.A great poaching of submods could help too, especially the Asia-related ones.Best case scenario is if you create a federation of toozer/demo mods like FMTW, DiB, Iron Throne, BYC, revived EGD and Godspeed, Mad God, JD, XU, PaxBrit, TOTA, Age of Imperialism, Pride and Fall, The Multipolar World, that 1984 mod, Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, Love Thy Neighbor (revived), Pax Von Der Weltkrieg: Redux, On the Clouds of Heaven, and so on to allow for a stable rotation of devs between mods to prevent burnout and a good flow of ideas.I was planning it to be run by a senate of head devs and mods, divided into multiple parties which are themselves divided into cauci for every mod in the party, plus a party of custom superevent creators, hoitubers, famous fans in the community and IRL minor political figures that know about the mod like Jereb and Gunther. Every week, a delegate from a party would present a decision, which would then be voted on by the senate, Reddit, 4chan and the sharty. The threads would be monitored by a trifecta of sharts, anons and redditors in shifts to curb potential drama, stop raids and organize the discord.Kiwis would archive the whole thing, monitor votes and watch over jannies.The lolcows are to be denied from voting or their vote price is to be decreased to have only a slight impact on voting.In the case of mass deletion, the kiwis are to keep a personal copy of the code.In case of vote tampering, the voting process is to be scuttled and the reins of power handed over to Novo.>Sincerely,>Idea Guy
>>2309572That's true, I think I just lean the other way where I'd prefer a more structed setting with alternatives available like World War One with different allied nations but the primary world war still happening. Most of my issues with the random wars all over the place dragging majors into them could be solved with a neutrality game rule honestly.
>>2309574get help
>>2309527>they finally added a new path>and a banger organ cover of TeufelsliedWell shit this actually turned out better than I thought
>>2309574>Only good idea is releasing a toozer on J6>Taken from an anon in the last thread Go back to making up paths for tags.

>>2309585I just do not get how so many devs can be so bad at project management.

>>2309583You're not that anon, the first reply you got was someone telling you that posting teasers on J6 would be better than doing it on NYE with a spoilered image.

Eastern Conflict is a mod about 1991, when, after the start of democratic reforms in the Soviet Union, its people, who had been isolated from the rest of the world for decades, began to demand freedom. At the same time, Germany, which had reunified just a year earlier, was going through difficult times. Although it seemed that the German people were united again, their society was still divided. East Germany, which had previously been under the GDR, supported the ideas of communism and socialism, while the west supported democratic ideas. At that time, the US had become the world's number one country. Its foreign policy can be described as “global policing”. At the beginning of 1991, the US was already preparing to liberate Kuwait from occupation by Iraq, which had occupied it at the end of 1990.
>>2309669
>>2309673
>>2309676
>>2309678The heads of mod decided to replace the map with a new, larger one. It will include Eurasia, North and part of Central Africa, as well as part of North America. This opens up the possibility for us to create content for countries such as China, Japan, India, North and South Korea, as well as expand content to existing countries and maintaining our original idea of a detailed post-Soviet continent!More detailed information - At the moment, the map has nearly 20,000 provinces (which is 7,000 more than in the vanilla version, but the number may still change), with Europe as our priority receiving the most provinces.EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS ONLY AN EARLY VERSION OF THE MAP, AND IT WILL MUCH BETTER AFTER POLISHING
>>2309676>LGBT>1991The only ones who were anywhere near discussed were homos and lesbos, I cannot even remember if they had a flag yet.>>2309669This seems interesting but I have to ask what exactly are your plans? Because right now Red Dusk serves essentially the same itch for that era. Are you planning to lean authentic or somewhat wackier? Are you going to follow the otl primarily or spice it up with some althis wars?
>>2309689>your>youthere seems to be a misunderstanding, good catch on the troon shit
>>2309669Your mod has a nice style.How is it different from Red Dusk? Just closer to otl? Will it basically be 90s CWIC except with a more sane scope?Good luck with your map btw.
>>2309689Gay rights were a thing in 1991, but a lot more limited than in the 00s when LGBT became a thing. This seems like a mistaken insertion of more modern progressive politics in an older setting. People often forget that current year LGBT stuff was considered parody before Obama's second term.
>>2309693pretty sure its OTL up to 1991>>2309689also I looked it up and the flag seems to have been adopted in the early 90s, but I doubt the troon flag existed
>>2309691Seeing young Bush Senior, Buchanan and Quayle and then the tranny flag to the right gave me mental whiplash. One of the biggest issues of the time was allowing fags in the military, that just shows how far removed from the current insanity they were.
>>2309700I will say it is funny how evangelicals said there would be plague and war if gays got married and Covid hit followed by a fresh war in Europe. I unironically miss when the loudest noises you had to tune out were minivan moms rather then drugged out retards.
>>2309712I was a leftist fag in the 00s and used to hate the Christards. Hardcore early YouTube atheist shit. Now I just want them to come back with fire and brimstone. I've even started to go to church. We couldn't have been more wrong.
>>2309717Don't blame yourself too harshly, George W Bush and his admin were not exactly inspiring. I wish Buchanan got in in 92 or 00, imagine the jobs mixed with the lack of GWOT.
>>2309721Buchanan ended up being my road back to normality. I would've HATED him if he was in office at either time, but in the end I wound up becoming a paleocon myself. His books were a very important bridge from the left to the right because I just hated neocons and associated them with the right, but reading him critique neocons better than any leftist ever did at the time won me over. Man wasn't perfect, but he might've been America's best shot at winning the peace in 1992 following the cold war.t. TRUMP.WAV poster.
>>2309649>Losing subs ohnononono
>>2309669>No paleocon >Classical liberalism has green politics all over it instead of being actual classic libThese can be improved and the latter feels like another anachronism. Overall though a good first showing.
>>2309721GWOT was inevitable, I don't know why people think there's some universe where End of History neoliberalism wasn't going to be put to the test just because some libertarian or paleoconservative is in power instead.
>>2309748>GWOT was inevitableThis is extremely anti-Semitic and claims that some nefarious faction was conspiring to destabilize regional enemies to fulfill the creation of Greater Israel via false flag attacks, bribery, and sexual blackmail have been repeatedly debunked as baseless by trusted media partners.
>>2309748>911 doesn't happen>No GWOT>911 happens without radical neocons in office>No Iraq war, no PATRIOT Act, no nation building around the worldPlenty of ways that GWOT as we know it could've been prevented without going full end of history liberal. Saying that it was inevitable is just as silly as saying that neoliberal hegemony forevermore is inevitable. If we go by the official story, all it would've taken would've been for airport security to have caught on to the fact that the hijackers were bringing in box cutters onboard.
>>23094952027, I've tried reloading and sometimes it delays it by a few months, Think I'm gonna try again, play as a South American country and set up game rules and tag switch see if I just got unlucky with some rare bugs.
>>2309760Even limited Reagan interventions were a possibility after 9/11 and that is not even considering simply choosing to use special forces with heavy cover and recon in force to annihilate terrorist power centres. There were so many other options a paleocon could have taken that would not have led to multiple forever wars. This is why I am interested in Red Dusk's Pat Buchanan path (if they ever actually get around to it).
>>2309763Share your crash log with a dev in their Discord. They should have a bug reporting channel. Maybe they can help you figure it out.
>>2309763Weird. I haven't had any issues when trying to do the WEF path. Maybe try restarting or reinstalling the mod.
>>2309746It just keeps dropping.
What new UK paths were added to Red Dusk? The changelog just says "new focuses"
>>2309786>'Woah, I can use PP to take out loans and I can use that money to buy guns off the black market? This mod fucking rocks.'
>>2309781I did a check earlier and to my understanding it was just some interactions with China, Pakistan and India. Nothing really. The mod would be much better for the UK if they shifted some of the timeline like they did with the Russians to have something other then what actually happened. I think something like still owning Hong Kong and therefore creating a flashpoint for the UK to focus on would be cool, perhaps even have a Tory in charge at the start to allow for more alternate history - follow the historical path of Labour, continue the Tories or get someone slightly more extremer given the still powerful Communist world. That could be done even with Blair as a starting leader but still, if Quayle is in charge in the US then clearly Pandora's box is already open.
>>2309789Did they add in content for the British Civil War yet?
>>2309790There's a British civil war in Red Dusk? I did not know that. That is so retarded, how do they even set that up?
>another minigame for the UOA to managetheir AI is never winning the civil war again.
>>2309788>pp 100>take out 100 billion dollar loan>buy all the weapons on the black market>repeat when weapons appear again>???>unify america Any questions?
>>2309760>No Iraq war, no PATRIOT Act, no nation building around the worldIt would have happened even (or, as it stands, specially) with a neolib in office, as Obama proved IRL.
>>2309791From what I remember, if you fail to keep Blair in power and let the LibDem-Tory coalition fail, the radical wing of Labour takes control, if you then win the 2005 election, you can abolish the monarchy.You can choose to peacefully hold a referendum and become the "British Republic", or you can try to violently overthrow the monarchy.Last time I checked, the focuses were locked due to it being unfinished, but you can use commands to have a look at some of the unfinished stuff.
>>2309802>The byproduct of the WoT and it's repercussions prove that it was all inevitable before it happened Circular logic at its finest.
>>2309793UOA winning is the most boring outcome imaginable, besides maybe Bloomberg's path.
>>2309807That is all so shit. What is it with devs writing the dumbest stuff for the UK. At no point in the Blair era was the UK even close to a civil war and especially not over the monarchy and that would not change because the Soviet Union limped on to the new millennium. Now I am not saying not to write that content, if someone finds that interesting then go ahead, but the fact they have chosen to spend time on that rather then a myriad of other less ridiculous options when much of the mod's content is so unpolished is so irritating. If they wanted to explore the topic of a far-left government and the corresponding establishment response then they should take a note out of "A Very British Coup" rather then write some Royalist-Republican civil war in the year this fucking came out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqLLDZvbG-U
>>2309808They would've cooked up another reason to start forever wars even if the towers hadn't been hit.
>>2309828>Even if not given the same power, even if everything transpired differently, the same things will transpire identically thanks to fateNo they wouldn't, you're just as retarded as the people who believe in end of history liberalism.

>>2309934>Their paths are the most interesting among all participantsThe paths meant for the player like Caligula and Cognoscenti? Sure. But the other paths are just fucking boring. Neoliberalism, Neoconservatism, and the most milquetoast socialism possible. I'm not saying they're a bad tag or anything, they have their place as the moderate establishment.

>>2310210You clearly dont play it. They have been optimising stuff all the time, and it loads faster than EAW, RF or TFR, and I have a computer from 2019.The code is the least of its issues nowadays. The issue is that the mod stopped being innovative or daring. It happened to EAW, it happened to RF, it happened to KX.That is why Collapsing World is my new best friend.
>>2310218>faster than EaWThis is either false, or a recent development. Last I tried KX main menu load times were well in excess of an hour and it hit endgame lag in March of the first year.
is anyone else irrationally upset when a nation's focus tree is shown all at once? KX and some older KR nations have this problem. more mods really need to start dynamically showing/hiding focus subtrees
>>2310226I know that feel. If I'm not going communist I don't want to see the communist tree.>KX and some older KR nations have this problemOWB and EaW too.
>>2310228OWB is another good example. I feel like EaW is the best at only showing what's relevant, though.
>>2310223>This is either false, or a recent development.It has been like that for me ever since they added Zebrica. It takes forever to load.
>>2310234It takes less time for me than KX, and runs in EaW are actually possible without it becoming real time.
there's something about Collapsing World that just feels sloppy. i have that same feeling about Red Flood, and i'm not really sure why. i think it's a mix of sloppy writing and the really shitty UI
>>2309717You're a weak willed moron, flitting from one ideology to the next and you're talking of 'fire and brimstone' is a cringe, gay larp
how the FUCK do i unfuck my supply situation as the UoA in time to actually win operation steele? i keep getting fucked over by low supply
>>2310175Wish people had the same amount of bloodlust to actual threats to their lives instead of random modders but i guess thats performative sadism
>>2310248It’s all the memes they put in the focuses and events, that’s what makes it feel so unserious.
>>2310209No, he's just a janny. Ayrt is saying that he should help out instead of seething.
>>2309417I like the unique GFX GMC's got going on there in the Dogs of War tab.
>>2310249>Have one set of beliefs as a teen>Evolve into another when you're an adult >This is wrong, somehow I shudder to think at how developmentally stunted you must be if you still uncritically cling to everything you believed is a kid.
>>2310309He is right, fire and brimstone is fake and gay. It is literally just evangelical Presbyterian larp to control the masses.
>>2310318I'm mostly just a paleocon but pedos, troons and their enablers are the exceptions deserve it and you'll never convince me otherwise
>>2310321Instead of hating people, you should focus more on living and loving. That is literally the message of the Lord.
>>2310325>You should validate my destructive lifestyle because the Bible said so I think
I hate annoying minigames to decide a path, especially the Kaiserreich ones.
It's a shame the Jewish Defense League isn't getting content in 1.1.
Kaiserreich devs seem like fucking cunts. Some dude asked a basic question and was told this:>You have failed at critically engaging with the content if you're asking this question, China has a long road to faithfully engaging with what Western society would identify as liberal democracy, China is a large country with decades of instability behind it in the best case, there is no wholesome end to the efforts to try and implement wide scale democracy and democratic institutions. Please read between the lines.
>>2310337>You can only disagree with me if you agree with me.
>>2310426Sorry to hear that you asked a stupid question, anon.
>>2310045I finished it with one day left on the timer. Best advice I can give is to build a supply hub or two between Chicago and Minneapolis before the war starts.
>>2310462nah, wasn't me. the question was something like "what's the most democratic faction to play as in china?"
>>2309375How do I play as the Murican Patriots? Do I need to begin a game as Biden and get him couped or what?
>>2310484If you mean the Cognoscenti>Start the 2ACW as UOA>Allow the insurgency to reach level 10Boom, you're now the Illuminati. Be ready to fight some breakaway warlords though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8e8FRTi4ho
Would be cool if they add unique endgames for Satanist/Christian AWD in 1.1 without mentioning it in the patch notes or teasing it beforehand.
Ladies and gents, we're under 93K.
kalterkrieg IS based on the canon ending on kaiserreich and I'm tired of pretending it isnt
>>2310497Does that happen during the civil war or this path more or less only happens after unification?
>>2310545before you defeat trumpthere are 3 possible ways- stabilityfailed corporate couplevel 10 insurgency
>>2310545During the civil war, the path starts the moment the Cognoscenti take over after the insurgency hits level 10 and it continues long after the civil war is over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13ul30-65zE
will the cognoscenti ng+ content work if i load the save before switching to their focus tree or i have to start new save?
>>2310566ng+ is only from the post unification tree, so make a save before that
>>2310566I think you gotta start a brand new save, and make sure you have the achievement or else you won't get the NG+ content.
>>2310567>>2310568no i did their playthrough and got the achievement, im asking if i can load my previous saves to get the new content
>>2310568wrong, its from when the wars start in post unification
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAm6zqrSehQ
Is there an in universe reason why the cognoscenti have to happened prior to 2024?
>>2310583biden gets replaced in 2024
American Experiment when? It's interesting they are releasing the content for Biden's CIA guys before it, do you think they will continue to dripfeed this stuff out? Maybe Trump will get some content earlier the American Experiment.
>>2310513>Mango buys dozens of copies of HOI4 with his welfare check to desperately keep the count above 93000
>>2310593>American Experiment when?Probably sometime between late spring and late summer.>Maybe Trump will get some content earlier the American ExperimentI heard they wanted to/plan on releasing it before the American Experiment so it's definitely possible. I could see it being 1.0.9.5/9 and basically serve as the last update before 1.1.
>>2310597A lot of that looks great but I'm way more of "Eternal President" guy then "King Trump" guy, though of course I'd like a Caligula tier Donald. I think there is room for a Radical Nationalist/Extreme Patriot Trump which dips into Dark Maga, you could even tie it to some other factions like the Confederates and Patriot Front but have the Republican CIA wipe out their leadership and supplant it with loyalists who will bend the knee.
there needs to be an agent krasnov path where trump helps russia
>>2310605Would that be locked behind the Communists or Medvedev?
>>2310607I am sure the FSB exists in the nationalist russia
>>2310603>I'd like a Caligula tier DonaldAmerican Carnage seems to be Caligula-lite, which I like. It's just a Trump whose patience has run thin, savior complex is dialed up to eleven, ego is through the roof, and determination is out of this world. He hasn't gone insane like Biden does, he's just had certain qualities emboldened and his restraints removed. I hope his path remains relatively 'grounded' compare to Caligula Biden, nothing with him becoming an AI so he can be president forever. At most maybe the Trumps becoming America's royal family and America becoming a thinly veiled absolute monarchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuuwM0Afqo
>>2310593I guess that they did it to make up for 1.08
>>2310597His despotic portrait should be his mugshot
>>2310605True. He can already do a trade deal with Navalny
>We're gonna kill so much you may even get tired of killing, and you'll say 'Please, please, it's too much killing! We can't take it anymore, Mr. President it's too much!' and I'll say 'No it isn't! We have to keep killing! We have to kill more! We're gonna kill more! We're gonna kill so much!'
>>2310612No way. It should be his January portrait. It's just perfect.
>>2310617>To an imperial city, nothing is inconsistent that is expedient. -Aeschylus
>>2310610>At most maybe the Trumps becoming America's royal family and America becoming a thinly veiled absolute monarchy.MAGA-JUCHEISM
>>2310612it should be this >>2310039
>>2310623Only the Trumps can safeguard the Eternal MAGA Revolution. https://files.catbox.moe/t4aats.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/0krdms.mp4
>>2310610Unironically as it currently stands it is ridiculous to expect Trump not to declare martial law and go full Patriot given the fact a civil war is happening. Carnage Trump is where you would really get the world's greatest SHOW going. >>2310620God, he has a knack for that sort of stuff.
anons, tell me about your favorite path/nation/tag in any mod, i need new ideas
>>2310218This. I haven't played Kaiserreich in a long time and having a shitty pc i didn't really want to come back to it knowing about the performance problems. I was pleasantly surprised when i gave it a shot anyways. It runs pretty well and i played until 1949(!) without any serious slowdown
Does the American Constitutional government need to be around for the countryside insurgency to reach level 10 and rise up? I find conflicting information on this and the TFR wiki doesn’t have a direct answer on its dedicated page.
>>2310643Yes, don't cap them until you've hit insurgency level 10. Fuck them up as much as possible, but don't finish them off.
>ITT anons are not only happily discussing Trump becoming a despot, but they're CELEBRATING itChilling.
>>2310643>>2310644When I did that path I was at like level 8 when I capitulated Trump and nothing broke so you can cap him before the revolt.
>>2310662This, this type of rhetoric is extremely dangerous to Our Democracy™.
>>2310662Kamala lost.TNO lost.
>>2310662This is not the country I grew up in,
I don't have much playing time on vanilla but red dusk and kaiserreich seems super cool to play, should i play or get better first ?
Would be nice if we got a Dark MAGA toozer sometime soon, probably won't though. They'll probably wait until they're ready to release it before they tease it at all again.
TNO won.Czar won.Nicola won.
>>2310682A J6 mini toozer like an anon suggested in the last thread sounded like a nice idea. In fact, an actual J6 insurrection Route where DQRK MQGQ Trump starts in DC could be a fun twist on the ACW.
>>2310690I doubt that.
Now that the dust has settled, do (You) like Purity or Order's path more? For me it's still Purity, but primarily because I find the concept of Catharsis to be extremely kino and the coolest thing to come out of the mod, really hyped for the post-catharsis content.
>>2310705I'm more of a Cognoscenti guy because I think the idea of the Pre-2ACW system being nominally 'restored' but really just an extended arm of some shadowy cabal is cool shit.It gives you more to think about when there's still a veneer of respectability rather than Schwab's mask-off totalitarianism.
>>2310705I think there's something a little more impressive about just how brutal Purity is. As well as that, it doesnt deny you the satisfaction of thwarting them at the end, be it either by playing as Russia or by seeing Catharsis bring them down. The Cognoscenti on the other hand have Judas' conspiracy but its at the middle of the run instead of at the end so it doesn't really feel like an equally possible ending and instead just looks like a regular failure.
Alright I downloaded it. What am I in for? How long until my sanity is totally gone?
>>2310724>He actually fell for the honeypotFeds will be kicking down your door in 15 minutes, good luck.
>>2310724Go in blind, recommend an American faction for your frist playthrough. It'll be about a year or two before things get interesting. If you don't want to play as Trump or Biden, side with Biden in the 2020 State of The Union as that'll unlock the non-federal tags you can see in the main menu when selecting your country.Have fun, and tell us how things went!If you want some basic gameplay advice:Air power is stronger than vanilla by a mile, and mechanized is King. You'll need to adapt slightly if you're used to vanilla gameplay, but it's not too difficult. Go-to templates usually have a large number of IFVs with some SPGs and tanks mixed in. If you aren't totally green though this part shouldn't be a problem unless you're playing something like Atomwaffen where all your templates are shit.
>>2310725>YOU CAN'T BE PRO-INSURRECTION AND PRO-COP
>>2310738NTA but any good recs for non-US paths?
>>2310705I find the World Government more interesting as a concept, but the Cognoscenti is probably the best path TFR has released so far. I'm super excited for Post-Catharsis though, seems really interesting.
>>2310762Medvedev's Russia is probably the most straightforward and functional out of all Russian paths. It offers what you'd expect: huge continental land wars across Europe between you and NATO. If you go reformist as Medvedev, you can get yourself into a lot of unique ideologies too as he can get successors that rum the gambit from fascists to communists any anything in between. France and Germany have some alright things, but I'd pick Russia for a first playthrough.If you're more into naval warfare, play as either Japan or China. I'm agnostic about the Chinese routes but LDP is a pretty good one for Japan. That'll require you to have a good naval component as well since it involves major battles across the Pacific.
