>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.

>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.

Some tags are further along than others. Now, TFR doesn't put out fake toozers of this scale. The Cognoscenti teaser was about as large and involved and the tag released a short time later. So at the very least GMC is likely close to being playable.
>1.1 releasing soon
Rumors so take it with a grain of salt but probably not, some of the tags meant to be added in 1.1 are less developed than others. We don't know what tags are in what state, but since they've said that they'd release them one at a time in the future there has to be a gap between them.

The anon earlier said that GMC and RR were doing well, LoS was pretty rough but recently picked up the pace, not sure about the others.

ELF is already a thing. And adding people like Daring Do and Doctor Caballeron in the South East would be too close to the Equestrian Civil War, even if it would be realistic for that to happen.
I could see commie uprisings in occupied Vanhoover and Stalliongrad, though.

ELF is not a warlord, it is a resistance movment. I meant actual warlords that would rise up when the occupation is mismanaged.
>The Protectorates besides Manehattan? Do tell.
From what I remembered, the Krystal Protekorate under Trimmel was supposed to be about him preparing for a grand war and eventually go on to overthrow Chrysalis. Because Trimmel really likes war.
South east was supposed to be about being outnumbered by all the natives and reistance movements and with the Royal Guard plotting against you too, with the leader trying to gather enough funds to eventually escape while also needign to manage his stress levels.
Confederacy was supposed to be about building actual national identity and creating a sustainable state udner the new order.

I've noticed something about hoi4 modding that is as frustrating as it is real, the more you can do in a given amount of time the worse it feels for tension. Conquering a sliver of land in ten years is more engaging somehow than conquering half the world in five. It's not about Greece conquering all Turkey to the Armenian border, it's about militarily occupying Thrace, forcing war reparations and enforcing sea lane dominance, like that feels much more satisfying for some reason

You can do it, I think. People are sleeping on the idea of light mechs like the 40K examples I gave. Light bipedal mechs for scouting or mass assaults would be such a vibe, especially for AI armies.

I was a good way through doing a Loji playthrough before I realized the way I did it makes no sense from an RP perspective. They let you do it, but it's incoherent. I took the DemSoc political tree and all the other economic focuses before creating Loji and that, in retrospect, makes no sense. Why would people who have literally created a utopian demsoc society suddenly decide humans are bad and throw away the system they just built to hand it over to an AI? It makes no sense. I think the Loji path only works if you beeline for it right from the beginning, like Xi's failure and the social collapse has caused a crisis of faith that it's decided can only be solved with drastic measures. So they build this AI overlord hoping it will get them out of the shitshow theyve caused because no one trusts each other enough to maintain power for long. Loji then either decides humans are more worthy than they think (Servant path) and that inspires them to go down the DemSoc path, or maintains control (Overlord path) and sells itself to the public as being able to create that which humans could not: perfect central planning (Maoist revival tree).
>>

Forgot the wiki link

>>2357563
I just larp it and say that loji is the reason why the democratic new left is able to ensure all people have good lives through extensive central planning. If they just made stage 2 of loji replace your 2nd in command it would make the transition a lot more natural.
The overlord path always feels disjointed though no matter what you do leading up to it.
>>
>>2357571
I think overlord works if you beeline it + imgine the Party is demoralized and desperate rather than factionalized or radicalized, ie theyre looking for a hail mary because Mao failed and, via Xi, ultimately so did Deng, leaving everyone grasping at straws to retain faith in communism ( "the West was right, human nature inevitably sabotages communism; clearly, the solution is to ditch humanity rather than communism!").
