TNO > TFR, by a long shot. Stop obsessing about TFR.>TNO will never release content again!Neither will TFR, which won't be releasing 1.1 because they'll keep delaying it further and further.>2027- 1.1 is almost out!>oh another poll on whether to delay it to include even more content......>2028- 1.1 is almost out, again!>oh... yet another poll to delay it for triple the content...etc. etc. etc.
Reminder that there is a collective of posters who seek to bring about the ruination of TNO and despise it because of their political beliefs.
Just don't reply to the TNO janny and his bait this time around. Even his own team members can't stand him.
>Flavor submod is adding 200 events to the satanist route of Atomwaffen, by itself>100 events to Atomwaffen before you even get to choose a factionWhy did they think people want to read so many fucking events? I click through events even now with like 25 flavor events at most.
>>2350136I just like reading desu
>>2350136I can get wanting more events especially for the more colorful factions but that sounds excessive and everytime these ones get brought up it comes across as a quantity over quality things. At some point with Atomwaffen in particular you hit a wall of just how comically evil you can make something before it gets samey. Which I'm going to guess likely happens before Florida is overtaken.
Atomwaffen is a weird country. It's incredibly easy if you ally with Patriot Front/etc., too easy in fact. But the game gets wonky if you try to avoid allying them.
>>2350156>Atomwaffen>EasyLiterally the worst country in the ACW at the moment so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It's pretty manageable once you take over all of the south and joining the NF sure helps. When I beat the ACW as them I let PF take the brunt of all losses against the reds but even if you work with the NF it can be a shit show because Burt loves to abandon all flanks because his favorite Axis LARP is to be a Romanian near Stalingrad during its last gasps. Hate bailing that fucker out.
WHY WOULD YOU CREATE A 4TH FUCKING THREAD YOU FUCKING RETARD
>>2350168so what? gonna cry? lol just report the thread so it get deleted then if you hate it so much
>>2350168Aren't there just 2? This thread and the last one.The early bake from a few months back has been ignored for months if it's still up.
>>2350174 (me)Nevermind there was an unannounced early bake with 5 posts too. Why the fuck is that one retard still bumping his early bake from last year anyway???
>>2350174It's really not hard to go to Catalog and search HOI4 Modding. There are two perfectly good threads up that haven't been recycled. Complete autism.
>>2350177report it
>>2350177>EARLY BAKE THREADS CAN'T BE POSTED IN EVER, WE CAN'T RECYCLE EARLY BAKE THREADS BECAUSE THOSE WERE EARLY BAKED AND AND AND JUST BECAUSE OK???So fucking insane
>>2350178>He posts it after I already look this upI'm not the baker anyway so calm down.>>2350182Why are you like this? All I'm saying is that the bake from a few days ago was unannounced. No one in the last thread knew about it because its OP never bothered to mention it.>Thread from last yearIt's just a bad and cursed thread set up by a retard. Nobody liked it.
>>2350187>THAT THREAD IS CURSEDwhat the fuck. JUST RECYCLE THREADS THAT ARE STILL AROUND
So fucking stupid this whole "THREADS MUST BE PRISTINE AS FUCK; THE VERY OP MUST BE GLORIOUS AND DIGNIFIED OR IT IS A CURSED THREAD THAT WILL CAUSE MISHAPPENINGS TO THOSE WHO POST IN IT" bullshit. Just reuse threads that are still up. You see anyone else being this autistic about generals threads? No. They all just reuse threads.
/gsg/ doesn't reuse shit bakes
>Pride and Fall updates>ZERO (0) posts about itGo play it faggots. 5 new tags, new map, special projects and even a joke explainer for those who only found out that Poland exists.

>>2350209What are the new tags?Pride and Fall is kino btw.
>>2350178>just validate some schizo who makes a new thread at page 2
>>2350234And somehow, it's still not as terrible as last year's moldy bake.
>>2350214>>2350211Gonna type it out by memory, may lie, all of the content mentioned is Up to regional stage. Also I will butcher the names.>Jomsvikings - Polish socialist gets tortured by germans, decides to larp as a socialst viking. May become just socialost or viking at the end. Has a unique mechanic, pic related.>Church of Torun - catholic copro-mega-church, with corrupt priests riding out on Mercedes and shit. >Sandomierz - Actor decides to make his character from a show about detective priest into reality, has a mechanics where you solve cases, possibly broken.>Stettin/Szecin - Polish partisans break away from the german settlers, decide to become England with Tories/Labour expy.>Dabrowa Gorniza - SURELY COMMUNISM WORK THIS TIME. The fuck you mean we built national-socialism? Also has a Rastafarian NazBol path. YesOh and I forgot to mention Brotherhood of Coal received Revamp and now uses the Germany mechanics from vanilla HoI 4, Circle of Power was it
>>2350273My retarded ass forgot the pics again
>>2350275And here's some new GFX for Brotherhood of Coal, I didn't make the focus tree screen when I was playing but this one is cool enough.
>>2350234>validate>re-using a threadYou're out of your mind.
>>2350278eh, looks bad
>>2350296Yeah, bro. We should totally just pile into terrible, far too early bakes just because they're there.
>>2350300Why not? It's a fucking thread, you OCD autistic obsessed faggot. It could say "I SUCK DICKS" as the OP, and as long as it's searchable in the catalog, WHO THE FUCK CARES?
You stupid retards complain so much about an early bake because it "hurts /vst/, which is a slow board so you only bake on page 10 to prevent clutter" but then refuse to "pile into terrible, far too early bakes just because they're there." It's the most retarded logic imaginable.
nobody is going to use your troll thread no matter how many times you draw attention to it
>>2350278Based Poles bringing the A-game on tech art once again. I just love how much fun they have with their trees.>>2350305These retard niggers will make us hit the bump limit in a day arguing about this shit all because one guy can't let the thread he made last year die in peace.
>>2350315What troll would that be? Someone creating the next thread a day early? Oh what a mastermind troll that is!
Gonna post more images from my playthrough
Calisia also got some love in the update in form of unique Roman Legions doctrine, might post it later
If anyone wants to make the argument that HOI4 Modding isn't a TFR shill thread and TNOhate thread, just look at the "approved" and "le official" thread-baking image >>2350043 that doesn't even contain TNO except for an unauthorized old version of TNO, and the description attacks the current TNO development. It's quite literally insane.
get better material
>>2350379NuTNO isn't mentioned because nuTNO isn't a strategy game. By virtue of removing all wars and making it more of a CYOAB like Suzerain it's literally off-topic for the board. It's not a TNO hate thread since we still point to the popular fan forks of the mod. It's no different from other generals pointing you to a more substantial fan patch instead of the dead official version to get players acquainted with a series.
>>2350406Of course TNO is a strategy game. It's always been a strategy game. The fact that two wars, both of which were short, were removed from the mod doesn't take it out of the realm of being a strategy game. There are still wars in Russia, for example, and wars elsewhere do occur, just in different formats--ones you don't seem to prefer, but they're still wars that have mechanics.
>The dead mod I work on MUST get spotlighted on 4chan! :(Imagine being this mad just because the community you abandoned has moved on from you.
>>2350413>dead modNot a dead mod. It has more subscribers than TFR. Its discord is also far more active, as is its reddit. Just because /vst/ drove away most TNO fans through obsessive autistic hatred, which will be overturned, doesn't mean it's not active. Anyway... the comment earlier that TNO isn't a strategy game just becomes more unbelievable the more you think about it. There are so many elements and design features that make it a strategy game that it's a strikingly ignorant comment. Chess is a strategy game, and TNO is more complex than that in its economy gameplay alone.
lmao look at this clingy nigger coping and seething because no one wants to play his mod any more
>>2350434>coping and seethingI'm not doing anything of the sort. I'm providing a voice of opposition and reasoning against the TFRobsessed fans who have decided to commit utter TNOhate in two threads on /vst/, the "TNO thread" and the "HOI4 Modding"(but actually the TFR jerkoff thread).
prime bait material, these threads are dead as fuck though
Like it or not that AI TNO guy is the best that happened to this thread in a long while. Without him it's just constant tfr circlejerking and messages like "how do i win as pf" that don't offer anything substantive or funny.
>>2350448t. AI TNO guy
>I'm the best thing that happened to your threadImagine having to astroturf support for yourself after failing to astroturf support for the mod you work on. All because no one on the wargaming board wants his vn.
>>2350418>>2350418>It has more subscribers than TFRTFR is catching up doe.>Its discord is also far more active, as is its redditLmao. The Orwellian dystopia where everyone is so buckbroken by all the bans that they swarm anyone saying they don't care about Fiji skeleton content, proclaiming Fiji is their favourite country ever, is somehow a good display of TNO's activity. Yeah.
>Be TNO's head janny>Get mad about everyone in /tno/ hating your mod>Invade /hoi4/ to try and drum up support for your dead mod>there are now two threads that do nothing but shit on his dead modImagine how different things would've been if he'd released Iberia and just come here to talk about the contents of the new update like a normal person instead of crying over us preferring KX over Chilean Antarctica.
>>2350452>TFR is catching upMaybe, but /vst/ is on a literal campaign to convince every new HOI4 player that TNO is the worst thing in existence, so any current numbers, or frankly any numbers since 2024 can't be trusted, because they're biased thanks to the efforts of /vst/. /vst/'s efforts in stirring hate toward TNO is like the Reformation: a bunch of shitfuck memesters spammed obsessed hate for ages and temporarily convinced new worshippers to side with them over the Church. Well, in the long run, the Church is the dominant religion in how many continents? >he Orwellian dystopia where everyone is so buckbroken by all the bans that they swarm anyone saying they don't care about Fiji skeleton content, proclaiming Fiji is their favourite country ever, is somehow a good display of TNO's activity. Untrue, TNO's reddit is actually an example of a subreddit done right. People gather and post genuinely astonishing fan content that really helps create/set the atmosphere and mood of the world of TNO that every loves so much (Yes, including the TNOhaters). Here's an example. I literally opened the TNO reddit page and grabbed the first image I saw, and then I went to the top TFRreddit post of all time, and combined them for you to see. TNO's is a work of art, whilst TFR is the most inane memery slop you've ever seen, and true to its status as a fratbro chud mod.
>/vst/ created TNO hatebased??
How do you think DARK MAGA is going to deal with Euro war. Will he abandon Ukraine or only help Europe for a price?
>>2350467Probably in the same way as all the other wars, nothing. It's funny, people talk about how TNO is "removing all wars," (it's not) yet TFR basically only has civil wars, because its "main wars" are so simple and trite and uninspired that every game feels the same. It's true. Every single game, EW1 starts, and then there's an EW2, and it's the same tired countries fighting both times (excepting maybe one or two minor countries?). Every GAW is the same, except maybe Thailand is with China in one game and with Japan in the next game, oh wow, so crazy... Do any wars actually last long? Not really. Do any wars feel like a genuine war with actual stakes? No, not really. Literally minigames in TNO feel more impactful than wars in TFR.
>>23504634chan is always ahead of the curve. Always.>>2350467I think DQRK MQGQ should fuck Europe and NATO one way or another. It wouldn't make sense for him not to at least hang them out to dry, at least NATO. They sent volunteers and equipment to help Biden in the war and Trump's notorious for being vindictive and holding grudges. It'd be out of character for him to just let that slide.
TNO subreddit used to be all memes before they introduced the "no shitposts" rule and spawned DSRFunny.
>>2350472I do not believe that the TFRdevs have the ability, knowhow, or intellect to develop a way for the U.S. to impact its narrative in Europe/Asia to a substantial degree. So it'll always feel like a letdown. >b-but in the newest update you can invade the world as USA!Declaring war on all factions is easy and simple to program. Actually interacting given the different variables? That's different.
>>2350450I'll take tno guy over this >>2350467 any day of the week
>>2350477Dude we know it's you. Stop shitting up the thread. Everyone already hates your mod and you're not making it better by being the most blatant fucking shill ever.
>>2350472I could see him helping Europe if they agree to give up Greenland and some economic reparations the same way he proposed the mineral deal with Ukraine IRL.
>>2350483I could see that, yeah. Demanding that they bend the knee would make sense.
>>2350480Not me. I'd post a screenshot but someone would say "you edited out the (You)!" like some dick. And, I'm not shitting up the thread. YOU and your "movement" are shitting up two threads on /vst/ by blatant and outright TNOhate and obsessive non-stop TFRtalk.
You fucking retard we were talking about Pride and Fall when you derailed it all and made everyone dunk on your mod instead with your retarded shilling.
>>2350491The conversation was over. What more is there to say? Nobody ever talks about that mod here anyway. >hey guys, there's a new update for Pride and Fall>ok cool>yea>so anyway what do all y'all think will be the next update in TFR? :)Discussion of anything non-TFR related over. Because HOI4 Modding is a TFRshill general.
TNO good o algo
If anyone wonders why the TNO devs are doing insane amounts of astroturfing and damage control around here all of a sudden this should explain everything. They'll do anything to fix it except for putting out an actual update.
>>2350489You are the number one driver of TNO hate right now. The only way you're going to make people like the mod is by releasing updates that add shit instead of just removing shit and replacing it with le skeleton content for Fiji, Antarctica, and an Africa so close to being OTL that people easily get it mixed up with OTL Africa.Making literal AI slop because you're too talentless to draw anything more complex than a stickman, this will SURELY make people like TNO and hate TFR like you want, right?You are either an excellent troll or the most out of touch TNO sycophant, janny or dev I've ever seen. If it's the former, I congratulate you for baiting me. If it's the latter, you should kill yourself.
>>2350511Don't bother replying to him, he's the TNO head janny.
>>2350515Don't radlibs hate genAI though?
>>2350529>TNO devs>Moral principles
>>2350461>/vst/, an obscure 4chan board with maybe 300 unique anons on it if we're being generous somehow made tens of thousands of people subscribe to and play tfrIs this the same kind of schizophrenia that makes people call people they disagree with shills?
>>2350511>You are the number one driver of TNO hate right nowLet's look at the evidence here. FIRST, we have an entire thread devoted to obsessive TNOhate, the TNO thread that most newcomers would visit if they heard about TNO as a mod. The TNOhaters immediately poison the well with so thoroughly crafted mental gymnastics and headcanon about their boogeyman TNO that they've spent two years creating that they can, on the surface and without doing research to debunk it, appear SOMEWHAT reasonable. This spills over into HOI4 Modding, and I'm certain there's incredible crossover between the two threads, given that they both exist on /vst/, and the TFRobsessed probably post in both threads.SECOND, we have the VERY HOI4 Modding OP that by itself condemns TNO in its OP image >>2350043 that not only tells people to go to an inferior/illegitimate version of TNO, but it tells people that the current TNO team is terrible. So, on two fronts you have newcomers blasted with TNOhate propaganda.THIRD, you have people making incessant comments that imply ANYTHING TNO releases or does will be condemned/mocked/ridiculed and generally attacked. We have reached that point. We are there. The TNOhate on /vst/ has boiled over so much, and fermented, and stewed that the TNOhaters will hate anything associated with TNO with all of their might, because they are so far emotionally invested right now that they can't see anything else.FOURTH, I'm a mere singleposter posting in support of TNO, yet you act like because I post in support of TNO, I'm being annoying and actually driving people away from TNO and to TFR. Where's the logic in this? This goes back to my earlier point. You're so far gone that you see any positivity toward TNO as completely and utterly annoying and damaging; you cannot see that someone is posting positively about TNO and making arguments for why it is in fact good and TFR is in fact bad, because you're a TNOhater and a TFRobsessed chud.
>>2350546(cont.) There needs to be counterweight to the TNOhate; there needs to be TNOgood because the amount of obsessive hate on /vst/ toward TNO is insane, and has been for about two years now. That stops now.
>>2350546>I'm a mere singleposter posting in support of TNOThanks for admitting that you samefagged all those totally real people that were "supporting" you a few minutes ago, TNO dev.
Can someone check if this guy is using AI to write these responses
>>2350548>let me just ignore your whole post and twist eight words that meant very little into a giant accusation Re-read those posts. Nobody has made a post of support for TNO.
>pretending "TNOhate" is new
>>2350551>is this AI?>but what if it's AI bros?>someone can't actually like TNO... people must love only TFR No.
>>2350561I'll be fair. I won't preen through that very thread in which this post you've drug up was made and collect all the pro-TNO posts. I'll simply post and comment on every response to this post you found. As you can see, there's arguably only one TNOhate post, and it's more of a contrarian 4chan post than anything.Back then, TNOhate was not a thing to any real degree. No, TNOhate that exists today was built like a well-oiled machine to propagate the internet with ungodly amounts of bullshit about why TNO is "le terrible."
>>2350547>there needs to be TNOgoodIt must be earned.
>>2350570It was and is earned. You just cannot see it.
>>2350566>2021Yeah, TNO was actually popular in the Panzer era and it stopped being popular when the nudevs deleted all the content people liked years down the line. Real brain scratcher that one.
Why are newfags unable to ignore the trolls?
>>2350575There's precious little else going on. EaW's recent update was decent, but not very content worthy. OWB, KR and KX rather silent as of right now, and apparently Unforeseen Consequences updated but what was added is a mystery.We're just waiting for TFR to update
>>2350575They're just excited that TNO is sending their devs to shill again. Sad, really.
>>2350577And that is exactly why generals are a bad idea. Because then the threads end up like this, when there is nothing to talk about.
>>2350577>no one even remembers my mod>no one will even care when I update Well fuck you too!
>>2350581>There is no general>Retards make 50 fucking HOI4 threadsYeah no.
>>2350546Again, why do you even care about the dead board that is /vst/? TNO (or rather its developers) have earned their hatred by not releasing a substantial update since Guangdong. There doesn't need to be a TFR conspiracy for people to dislike the new direction as dictated by political spergs like Mango and that Brazilian monkey Lamounier.And if there was, it wouldn't be centred on a 4chan board with next to no users. It'd be centred somewhere with a substantial userbase. There's nothing left to discuss about TNO aside from joking about how long it takes to release anything. There's nothing to speculate about because TNO leaks like a sieve, presumably as a result of devs being exhausted from constantly having to rework their own reworks because Mango's Trump Derangement Syndrome flared up and now the Republicans have to be reworked to be even more evil and the Dems even more good, or because Lamounier found a chink in Germany's plot armour.What are we meant to be, excited for the coming OTLization of Africa? Stoked to see Mango's TCT ported into the Clausewitz Engine that is Yippee/Vote Pig? Interested to see how Lamounier will square German invincibility with an inability to deal with Kateryna's socdem status quo eternal Sweden because something something happened in OTL?
>>2350577>what was added is a mysteryhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/3635283949

>>2350603Changeling sexo...
>>2350561people have really mellowed out since those days, it's obviously some troll baiting retardsthose threads were waaay worse for TNO, because it spawned trooncords where people planned gayops against TNO devs like infiltrating just to leak stuff and doxing.these days there isn't even a major git leak, just former devs who post what they or their friends worked on.
>>2350612It really is a sign of the times. People just don't really care any more and most people even on /vst/ have moved on. Sure people don't like TNO any more, but the TNO thread is an incredibly slow gossip thread and it's hardly ever mentioned here outside of the occasional ribbing or cautionary example. If it wasn't for the large number of scorned devs and former fans, it'd be just as irrelevant and ignored as Kalterkrieg.
>>2350612>where people planned gayops against TNO devs like infiltrating just to leak stuff and doxing.This still is happening. You must not have visited the TNO thread where alleged leaks get posted by infiltrators.
>>2350626Where are the 2024, 2025 and 2026 git leaks?The only major leaks last year were on bilibili. Unless you want to count someone posted the dev meeting notes as a major leak.
>>2350632The Chinese leaks were of full Git builds that include 2024-5 content. They were just never released to the public. Even then it's not like there's anything there to care about. All the interesting content from EN and Manchuria leaked ages ago and the BiliBili stuff is just incomplete minigames and placeholder focuses. Who fucking cares?
>>2350590That is what Janny is for, to keep the useless and derivative threads gone. Generals are objectively cancer.
>>2350651>implying /vst/'s jannies do their jobsAlso the no generals rule was removed solely so they could deport /gsg/ to here.
>>2350655Yes, and it was a mistake
