>>2466276>>2466278Good rework or rework that sucks out the fun for no reason?
>>2466281Reception seems positive so far. I would go so far as to say it's better than KR's?
Anything interesting in that Pax Brit Beta they put out for bugfixing?
>>2466305I think slightly more European settlement in Africa? Also mostly? finished sweden content and very unfinished Switzerland content.
>>2466317Is it Ortwich? I don't remember any events when I was playing Purist that included her but I might be misremembering. I did always stick with her and Grim as my go to commanders for big pushes or important missions so it is cool if they are actual characters in the story.>some goofy skits like the time she and other purists officers dip molten iron into the slags underground citiesFucking good.>>2466318>Zach is completely autistic and he intends on making ERX THE mod, dude been working on it for almost half a decade now, and he keeps adding more mechanics, unit types and toys to keep you busy while you plow tribals with 1k manpower, that's his whole shtick.Yeah and a lot of the added reformer content is shit, cringe and gay. A LOT is good, cool and straight but there is just so much that I will never play (Nevada) or simply have no interest in pursuing (full integration). Every time I see the stupid fucking racoons, ghouls in uniform or marvel tier shit featured in some of the artworks I momentarily forget about the great stuff in the mod. It's just such wildly different experience that I don't see the need to have them be together. This is a personal gripe of course and I don't actually expect Zach (the tranny shit almost made me write him off) to do it but imo it would be a better to have them separate, especially since the Purists and Reformers will grow even more in scale.>I think people overblow ERX stinkersIt's coming from a place of love. I want the mod to continue being great which is why I am so opposed to some of the stuff that really puts me off, like the wastelander literal whore becoming your treasurer without the choice to say no. It could be said that I'm fighting phantoms here but when you look at so many mods which have had steady deteriorations I simply don't buy the excuses anymore. It could be completely just a matter of taste but compare top and bottom of pic related, Diana is a cool concept the other is just reddit aids.
>>2466276How is it? I did the Hugenburg path months ago. It was fun.
Purists are gonna get a big update eventually (2 weeks) trust the plan. Also I like the full reformer path, the wastelander hooker being your treasurer and stuff like that is dumb, but I don't mind the option to make S'Lanter, Ghouls, Super Mutants, Mole Miners, and eventually Synths and Sentient Deathclaws American.
>>2466462That teaser looks clean, Purists WILL have the final KINO Victory.I just think all that stuff is badly placed, it is a mod about the Enclave and for that amount of mutie lovin be an option is like the Brotherhood being led by feminist tumblr moral fag stand-ins, oh wait. Would be fine as a retarded Wild Wasteland option I suppose.Synths would be neat, I've always thought about Eden getting a synth body being a cool concept
Not to sound like a liberal or anything but do I have to kill Granite as Anderson? Part of me wants to redeem him or at least keep him alive as a prisoner. Dark Granite Purist path when?
>>2466482>First spoilerI see nothing wrong with it as the player isn't forced to go this route and you also get some initial blowback for doing stuff like integrating Super Mutants and are later on given the choice of reversing this choice and just killing them when difficulties start to arise.>Second spoilerWould be a cool outcome of Eden's Enclave winning on the East Coast. Could also maybe have the option of giving Diana a synth body or in Granite's ultimate dictator path let him become a synth so he can become immortal and rule America forever.>>2466484Granite and Anderson will always try to kill each other after the election, no getting around it.>Dark Granite Purist path when?Already in as either him being a dictator who enforces integration with ruthlessness or simply a dictator who enforces segregation.
>>2466492It's a matter of aesthetic and consistency I suppose, to me the Enclave are the Enclave and shouldn't be something else. That doesn't mean every path has to be purist, moderate integrationists and segregationists makes perfect sense, but they are the Enclave. The Legion should not have an equal rights feminist path and the NCR should not suddenly institute Russian Tsarist feudalism, just giving more options to a tag does not automatically make it good content. The big E should mean something, it should be more then just "what if more liberal NCR but power armour".>DianaShe is a must for a synth transfer, that assaultron art with the hologram is just too perfect for her to not have a body. Immortal Granite and her ruling as Eternal President and First Lady is pure Fallout.>Purist GraniteI wouldn't exactly count Dictator Granite as a Purist on either counts. Him going all Nixon with the wiretaps could happen no matter his politics. It would probably be redundant considering he has his segregation path but the idea of him defeating Anderson purely out of desiring to become President and be the one in charge of the extermination and reconquest is interesting to me. Maybe's it's just Anderson is lamer then Granite.
>>2466496>the Enclave are the Enclave and shouldn't be something elseThat's understandable. But personally I'm okay with the Enclave being able to undergo radical change due to the circumstances presented. Them being able to be accepting of Wastelanders is already a monumental shift for them.>I wouldn't exactly count Dictator Granite as a Purist on either counts.I missed the Purist part mb.>Maybe's it's just Anderson is lamer then GraniteAnderson can do some cool shit like stare down a raging Frank Horrigan, swear vengeance on the NCR after witnessing them killing Enclave citizens, and lead the Enclave survivors at the Bloomfield Space Center. He just needs some more love from the devs and an ending where he doesn't get the Enclave killed.
>>2466500One of the main issues with Anderson is when compared to Granite he is just so much less interesting, partly due to Granite's rpg potential which Anderson almost completely lacks and partly due to him being written like a parody. I can definitely see Granite as Presidential material but Anderson just seems so much worse in that department. I want to see the specifics of the Purist update and potential leaders offered because currently I'd prefer a Purist Granite over Anderson as it currently stands.
>>2466517That more shows your own biases and personal feelings, and shows you are just too much of a normalfag.Anderson is perfect as he is, and he will save the Enclave and Wasteland.
What existing alternate history story do you think would work well for a HOI4 mod, like Doomsday 1983 for example? I'm leaning towards the Anglo American Nazi war.
>>2466522>normalfagYeah see that's the problem, I'm all for eugenics, incest and cloning but because I think Anderson is ill suited for the job of President I am now considered a reformer. I wish Eden was here.
>>2466536Worldwar and colonisationWorldwar you have lizards, whose divisions are head and shoulders above humans, but they have trouble replenishing them. They can’t act too rushly either.Humans are outclassed, but we outnumber them and have a few tricks up our sleeve like naval raids and ginger, but have to watch out for alliance breaking. You could push the Race off, have them win, partial victory (like in books, but with more or less countries surviving), humans negotiating semi-independence, etc.For colonisation, you have a five way cold war but with humans semi-alligned together. Lots of proxy conflicts and potential to finish what was started. Interesting scenarios as well. Legacy of fighting together leads to potential German reaproachment with USSR, Japan supporting Vietcong and Mao, humans getting into space (I remember seeing some mod with a space combat mechanic), like imagine lizard shock when humans launch an Orion battleshipSidenote, but with Colonisation in hindsight doesn’t it mean that Nazis were basically justified in committing a falseflag? In fact looking critically at the series it has quite interesting implications despite turtledove being a hack
>>2466536Southern Victory.
>>2466552Anderson makes perfect sense; he is literally a chud preparing to slay the bear and reclaim a wasteland
>>2466565I just think there's a better chud out there waiting to be discovered.
On the topic of Fallout, any opinions on New World Ember's lore and map setup? I know Fallout's European lore tends to be pretty untouched save for the European Commonwealth but I think they've done a pretty good job with Germany so far. The East being Communist is interesting as to my knowledge the Warsaw Pact dissolved though I'm pretty sure the USSR didn't despite some maps sometimes showing post 91 borders, specifically because of Natalia's background in Fallout 1. Assuming it continues on, I think it would be interesting to think about how the Soviet Union would interact with the wider world and Europeans since they didn't get involved (that I know of) in either the Sino-American war or the European-Middle East conflict. Also since the only oil wells still active are Alaska you'd have to imagine the Soviets would be in a really rough spot unless they went full in on nuclear energy. The mod devs probably shouldn't go to far past Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad if they are going to include them, at least until the West is fully developed. I wonder if they'll add a Commonwealth successor state.
>>2466594They update the mod at all since releasing it? Hope they don't abandon it since there's a monumental level of potential there.
>>2466594I still think it is too centralised with way too big warlords, and the borders are also weird geographically.
>>2466594Still haven't played it. I keep meaning to. It looks fun but I also agree a bit with >>2466608 that it looks a bit off. But you know what? I'll give them the benefit of a doubt and honestly its weirdness isn't that different from how OWB itself is weird.
Also, lot of the nations just by names alone, lack that Fallout style, like the fact that there is no nation of Coal Miners in Silesia. >>2466594 It really feels like it was made by someone who doesn't actually play Fallout and just skimmed wiki. Like in Fallout you literally have Caesar´d Legion, Super mutants, Ghouls, Crazy Super Computers and The Master.
>>2466663To be fair, we know basically nothing about Europe in Fallout. But maybe that could actually be a bonus, they could do nearly anything there and it wouldn't be lore breaking. As for FEV related stuff like Super Mutants I guess you could shoehorn it in with the excuse of the US government doing FEV experiments abroad in an allied European country. Overall I agree the mod could use some more wacky/out there stuff. Maybe add a ghoul larping as Charlemagne or a robot tag that was programmed to fight communism but is now malfunctioning and considers any nations with even slightly socialistic elements to be its sworn enemy? You could also include the Enclave without it being total bullshit since this sprite in F2 implied they were a global organization.
>>2466674Yeah, the mod could do anything literally. But so far it feels really milktoast.
>>2466597Not to my knowledge, it's very bare bones but the potential is definitely there like you say. I feel the need to not have that much hope just so I don't get burned.>>2466608What's your main geographic complaint? Hopefully some of the border provinces get fleshed out once Poland and France get added.>>2466623>>2466663It's interesting to think about how Germany would develop in Fallout's timeline but because of the complete lack of lore it does become very unguided. My canon for them is that they try to offset their energy issues by focusing on autarkic automation and looting the surrounding nations, perhaps with a resurgence of Reich-like parties before the nukes fall after seeing the collapse of European solidarity. As the material world gets ripped from them have them reach out in a Wagnerian type of way for something greater to believe in and hold to. Nothing more orchestral as a nuclear finale.>>2466674I don't think Europe and the US were allied pre-war, to my understanding the US was more or less entirely focused on the Pacific and the American continents. I read that map as them reconing other surviving government groups, those who may not necessarily have the level of tech as the Enclave but still survived somehow in bunkers.
Is anyone else's unit model selector still fucked up in all the mods?
>>2466276>GERMANY REWORK FOR KAISERREDUX IS OUT ON GITHUBplayed through it and it wasn't bad, however there was a high amount of ai generated slop text and I sincerely hope they're actually going to rewrite that shit

As a commemoration, here are all the possible paths of the Fukien Government, one of the tags born from Canton's collapse, which appear in Burning Memories as skeleton content."

>>2466742I finished the war in December 2023 and went PQTRIQT route. Still not event so it is over.
>>2466754I think it says more about you that you yell "ai sloppa" at any sort of writing that's more verbose. But I guess you're used to locless trees like the usual TFR player. Maybe Collapsing World is more up to your speed?
>>2466757Yeah your game must be fugged. Patriot Trump has his own super event.
>>2466758>TFR out of NOWHERE Mindraped.
>>2466758lol AI is well known for being verbose, it even knows that by itselfhere you go straight from the source

on the topic of TFR,dqrk maga released yet? 4th of july was a long time ago
>>2466791>dqrk maga released yet?3Q more days....follow the rabbit hole....
>>2466791The 4th of July thing was just anons Q-posting and was never official. No release date yet but we know that they're working on post-war content on the scale of Cognoscenti.

>>2466798Trump becomes the Antichrist and causes the second coming
>>2466803Charlie Kirk if they're not pussies
>>2466811If Kirk is ever brought up he'll either be a talking head for Trump or assassinated as part of the build up to the 2ACW/Dark MAGA.
>>2466811>>2466813He'd work better as a feel-good candidate for Army of God or a similar group. Have him experience an anti-war arc like he did with Israel but have it be over the mismanagement leading to the CW and have TPUSA becoming another independent actor be one of the elements that further divides America.Charlie will help America find God, and reforge a Republican party that won't take marching orders from violent Zionists (ie the reason why he ain't working with ACG without just being a replacement for max People Trump populism).
>>2466813He'll get shot while giving a speech but survives due to Peter Thiels augmentations. He then charges at the tyler robinson and breaks his arms and forces him to watch as he rapes his tranny bf with a cross. This reveals the fact that Thiel has been building secret cyborg army and forces Thiel to coup Trump and establish totalitarian techno dystopia
>>2466817I hadn't thought about that but he could be a good pick for the most moderate/reformist path for Army of God. Fuck me I wish they were getting content in 1.1. Easily the 2ACW tag most deserving of content after 1.1 releases.
>>2466818TFR team recruit this man!
>>2466820Same, easily the one tag I wish got content. They'd be a good pairing with the ChristSocs in RR too.
>>2466827>They'd be a good pairing with the ChristSocs in RR too.True. Oct 19th being the more general niceness/be a good heckin person side of Christianity and the Army of God being the more extremist/oppressive/zealous side. They also start and fight in the same region. Not sure what economic systems you would see in AoG though.
Anyone know if that Army of God submod that got announced like a year ago is being worked on?
>>2466831No exaggeration the head dev was a jeet, and no actual work was made on the mod because xe used jugaad and doesn't even own Hoi4.
>>2466835God dammit. Well hopefully the TFR team at least steals the most extreme path super event they made for when the Army of God actually does get content. It was pretty fucking cool.
>>2466835Very sad to hear it.

>>2466969I personally subscribe to the far more likely explanation that the author, who is a confrimed HOI4 player, is just on the spectrum and a bit verbose at times. Things don't have to be so complicated or malicious.>>2466999This sure got bleaker and that's a good thing. No more>A wild civil war appeared out of nowhere!
>>2466745>>2466754>>2466969>>2467012I personally think AI investigating is lame but I am shocked by the fact /vst/ users are doubting that it's AI. It's the kind of AI text you get by rawdogging default-ass chatgpt with no custom style prompt and without massaging the output. I am saying this as someone who has spent hundreds of hours AI-gooning and spending years fighting with the retarded AI into writing passable fiction on sillytavern, i.e. text that doesn't fall back on the exact same eye-rolling constructions as in those excerpts that the AI defaults to. That said, I doubt there is a single big mod nowadays that doesn't use AI writing to some degree, even if it's snuck in by lone contributors. I have seen glimpses of it in TFR but it's not that obvious and I would much rather have that than the infamous illegible events (navalny funko pops)
>>2467028It's better having ai writers and 300 coders than having 300 writers and 3 coders like TNO I guess
>>2467028>I am saying this as someone who has spent hundreds of hours AI-gooning and spending years fighting with the retarded AI into writing passable fiction on sillytavernMaybe you're just mind-broken from spending hundreds of hours gooning to AI roleplay? Seriously I don't even get what the issue is. They just look like normal events to me and even if it was AI assisted at least they got playable content out which is more than you can say about most mods.>>2467035TNO lost most of its writers tho. The loc status for most of their German reworks are at fucking nothing because that mod has such an insane turnover rate from all the crunching, reworking and shitty planning that nothing actually gets done. The only things that progress are a few personal pet projects of a few leads. Even the Germany demo was barren as of a month ago.
>>2467058How the hell do you develop a crunch culture worse than actual AAA gaming studios while being an unpaid mod for GoI4??
>>2467035I agree>>2467058>Seriously I don't even get what the issue isI'm not alleging there is one. Eat up all the sloppa you want, the lord knows I do.
>>2467059I don't know and that's what makes TNO so fascinating. All the worst aspects of modern gaming is there: a leadership clique that doesn't play or understand the game, politicized content, a hardcore crunch culture, pushing content the fanbase rejects and endless drama and internal toxicity. All the ingredients of a failed live service game except they're doing it for free.>>2467061I'm a fucking grugbrain that don't even read events and just want to map paint. Just didn't understand why it was even brought up is all. Carry on.
>>2466999Kewl. Hopefully the pre-2ACW rework will improve that section of the playthrough for non fed players. Right now you just pick Biden, mask up your area and allied areas, then speed through the rest of that section as fast as possible making sure to lose the election on purpose so you can get a small attack and defense boost at the start of the war.
>>2467028I'm the original guy who brought it upI don't mind AI usage for writing/editing as long as they properly prompt it. Unfortunately most don't which is how you get obvious slop.Of course I'd expect most mods to use it at this point, but in the end it's a tool and it depends on how well it's used. For instance OWB Dakota Chapter's last few events especially are very obviously unedited AI slop writing which to me felt kind of like a shit topping for what's supposed to be a conclusion to the narrative of the faction.
>>2466999>for decadesReally? I thought the real animosity only started after Trump's first term. There were racial riots and shootouts in those riots before, of course, but nobody wanted a civil war over those.

>>2467124You basically tell the AI what to avoid/ban, use plain language etc. and it'll try it's best to do so. Unfortunately often times it still fucks up in which case you should just edit whatever it shat out yourself, or swipe several dozen more times until you get what you like.The issue is that most people just take the first output and don't care.Also a lot of time you have people tell the AI to fix their grammar, edit the sentence structure, improve prose etc. without giving it any specific instructions and the AI does whatever it thinks is best with the vague prompt they gave it.You have useful stuff like this for instance:https://github.com/conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing/For actual character chatbots you have to make your own preset or download someone's for ST (if you're running it)
haven't played TFR since before the doctrines update, how do i build templates now? (going to be doing a satanist AWD run)
>>2467121Old guy here. A second American civil war has been part of discourse for a long time and I remember it being a "thing" even in the early 00s when I first started using the Internet and before then it wasn't even new. You had major events like the Waco siege that were lightning rods at the time and a lot of things that people would call federal overreach, but a lot of that was limited to niche conspiracy circles at the time. Things started to become more mainstream in the 00s with Bush, the alleged stealing of Florida in the elections, 9/11 and everything surrounding that and the highly unpopular foreverwars starting with Iraq in particular. It was during this time that things like picrel started to come out giving you some early speculatory fiction about a civil war that wasn't just "grays vs blues 2.0" or a schizo scenario like the Turner Diaries. Then you had Obama who broke all his early promises and gave a lot of Occupy-type people the impression that votes will never change anything, and especially in the second term you get all the culture war shit going into overdrive which finally gave us Trump and a dissident right-wing movement.You're absolutely correct that it became more mainstream after Trump's election but when the TFR devs talk about decades they refer to a slow boil of social tensions in America that have been gradually getting worse since the 90s and 00s, ie everything leading up to Trump in the post-Cold War era. But it was always like a vegetable rotting from the inside and a lot of the causes were fixable until quite recently. Not the wheels have come off and nothing can hide the stench.
>>2466745i don't know man. the very first sentence of the first event is really awkward. reminds me of my own tortured but technically-not-incorrect writing. actually a lot of this smells more like autism. just look at that punctuation. it even has typos, and the kinds of mistakes that you get from going back and editing sentences. i'd bet money this isn't ai.

>>2467254How many planes you want?>yes
>>2467254China's got some pretty good paths, but unfortunately Japan's getting the shit end of the stick atm. But I'm sure they'll be a much better tag after they get their Military Junta, Communist, and Capital paths in 1.2.
>>2466415Yeah, it's Ortwich, she's one of the mod first beta testers and been around for a while. The whore treasurer is non ironic supposed to be some Magdalene reference in a way, there's some weird messianic stuff sprinkled upon all paths. You can filter her out though, just don't restart the IRS
>>2467272>Japan's getting the shit end of the stick atm.That's because almost all Japan content is made by the Russian team which primarily does Russia. After the China team got a polite notice to stop developing, the Russian team also started helping out with the Chinese content.
>>2466552>>2466517Yeah, I think you are trying too much to make Andersen be what he isn't. He's full loony Enclave rep, which fits what the faction represented in FO2, 3 and then 76, they are amoral maniacs who create biological weapons that look like aliens to squat on terrain that might have pre war tech, that's how they roll.And they are not aware of the blowback that their super weapons might cause to themselves, releasing the FEV into the wasteland might not kill them now, but the contaminated Project Purity samples can hurt "pure, unmutated humans" like vault dwellers, so it's safe to say that they will die in the long run.I think the Andersen ending gets most of it's blowback from the fact that you don't have other options, rather than there being a failstate. The enclave also doesn't suddenly crumble once you hit epilogue, they spent centuries genociding mexicans, south american monstrosities, hunting ghoul whales, nuking chineses, landing expeditions in Europe and Asia, and they even have a scuffle with Zetans for a few decades, XCOM style and they win. Those things just aren't in the scope of what OWB is capable of showing, sadly. It just happens that living for 500 years without someone to call your bullshit isn't healthy for your brain.

>>2467272I wish a cute 8/10 female Chinese soldier would shoot me in a war. Then as I am bleeding out she gives me first aid and buries my head in her boobs while fondling with my hair until a medic arrives. If I survive I become her sex slave who has to creampie her every night and over time she falls in love with me and we eventually have 6 children together.I am a sensitive young man who believes love can bloom even on a battlefield but I have to navigate a soulless civilization where we exchange everything of value and beauty with an unholy ideology that combines the worst aspects of neoliberalism, social democracy and globalism.To have my face covered by the boobs of a qt3.14 who just shot me, would fulfill me more than any sum of money I could make in this corporate dystopia.As she plays with my hair and whispers in my ear, she would show me more affection and care than any "conservative" politician has ever shown towards the native population of his country.While I feel like I am about to fall asleep from the blood loss and she embraces me, I feel more at home than I ever did in a country that abandoned me before I was even born.Path for this feel?
Really want to play one of the extremist European playthroughs but I just can't make Russia win without using the console. Even though there are no cheevos I prefer playing ironman so non ironman feels off. The buffs are stupid since I don't want Dugin style buffs to Russia that make fighting feel retarded. I rather give the Russian industry buffs. Additionally I have to play a lot of years for effectively nothing for a few years of content.This issue also exists with China but it is way better since the gamer paths have much more content due to the early invasion of Taiwan.
>>2467403Play as Cognoscenti and lose on purpose to China. Make sure you get a high casualty rate. Trade poorly with them. That'd be hot.
>>2467425>Play as Cognoscenti and lose on purpose to China. Does Cognoscenti have any unique scripted peace deals for them losing against Russia or China? Or do they just annex everything or default to the failstate you get when Judas isn't stopped in time?
>>2467421If you want Russia to win the 1EW without using the console just force them to win it in the game rules before starting the playthrough.
>>2467430Thanks I could try that. Hopefully there will be other ways to adjust difficulty in the future or the ability to go for extemist paths without losing the 1EW.
>>2467437I think you can buff up Russia in the game rules as well but I could be wrong.
>>2467439You can but the buffs are mostly about things I don't want. Russia gets bonuses to things like supply and division stats but it feels overly videogamey if the divisions just outstat me for no reason. I rather fight against 400 good divisions than 200 supercharged ones. Total War has the same issue with difficulty.
>>2467254>>2467272They also usually have no idea what to do with India either, but absolutely nobody gives a fuck about what street shitter land is doing so it doesn't matter as much.
>>2467175Did you ever see the 1997 movie about a Second American Civil War? It was prophetic with the immigration issue. It's both funny and fucked how even back then people could predict how it would turn out. Also on the subject of Obama I remember just how much race relations took a nosedive in his second term. The response towards that church shooting completely alienated huge chunks of the American South and polarised an issue that had largely faded into memory. The Confederate flag discourse became a lightning rod for the growing race conscious America with both sides going to further extremes. You do have some modern right wing people who have no attachment to the Confederacy and even mock those who honour it but those are the ones who really miss the point of most people's anger to all those statues and flags getting taken down, it's not always literal but more symbolic. The internet also exploded political activity to unheard of levels with everyone now having to take an opinion on every hot subject which further fuelled the political divide. Trump is his own subject but people should always look at him with the understanding that the Republicans before him were seen as habitual surrenderers to the Democrats on every cultural issue.
>>2467322I'm replaying this moment and I didn't get an option to not restart the IRS, the prostitute mutant turned up and got hired through events which I had no influence over despite already having instituted segregation. This mod has great stuff followed by really confusing shit stuff.
>>2467338I do think it is slightly handwaving to say Andersen is fine because he fits the Enclave from the games when Granite, barring SegClave, completely doesn't. Writing the Purists as wacky morons who don't understand concepts beyond killmutantsTradeMark is just lazy when you have so much choice with Granite and so much potential for a better written Enclave then present in the games. I know they are updating the Purists and that's cool but kind of like with TFR and Russia's three initial candidates I would enjoy the option to choose someone else at the start rather then have to wait e.g. choose "Purist candidate number 2" instead of Andersen. Writing villains into being dumb is a trap that so many writers fall into and it really does just ruin them for me, they are bad because of their beliefs and actions not because when they shoot someone their gun blows up and kills them as well.>spent centuries genociding mexicans, south american monstrosities, hunting ghoul whales, nuking chineses, landing expeditions in Europe and Asia, and they even have a scuffle with Zetans for a few decades, XCOM style and they winI would argue a significant chunk of that could be represented in game at least through an event chain and decisions but I do agree mainly with your point about their failstate coming naturally from that setup. Part of that issue is past a certain point you have no real rival and if you use the console to force multiple wars at the same time as some kind of endgame crisis the game can't really handle it. I just think zach has fallen in love with his own writing to an extent that he forgets who the Enclave actually are. Granite would not survive integrating anything further then wastelanders and Andersen would get JFK'd the moment he goes schizo. The Purist teasers do give me hope though but I would still prefer that alternative Purist choice to be placed at the beginning.
>>2467466https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Civil_WarThis one? Actually looks interesting. I'll look it up. Thanks for the suggestion! And yes Obama's second term really is what did everything in. Mass immigration, the normalization of troons and child LGBTQ shit and then the Confederate statue debacles that led to Unite the Right and Charlottesville. I think that's the point where America became Weimar Germany.
>>2467484A very underrated film, enjoy the generals. It's interesting to think about how George W Bush is now seen as the last "stable" President despite the Iraq war. The nostalgia for the early 2000s and all cool music and weird hairstyles associated is in full swing, I now feel the need to rewatch the Scooby Doo films.
>>2467474>>2467484Daily reminder that more deportations happened under Obama than Trump. 2000s era Democrats were more right wing that current Republicans.Mainstream conservatives sold everyone out not just in the US but the West as a whole. What did they even conserve?Democracy itself is just a massive meme at this point. The main group opposing this decline of the right is a bunch of majority non white retards who believe every problem in the world will be fixed if le womenz just lose their right to vote because then le based and redpilled conservatives can get elected.>"Traitorous politicians are 50% men and 50% women.">"People who vote for these politicians are 45% men and 55% women.">"The problem is clearly women and not democracy itself."Best part is that they can't even bring up the ethnic vote since they are majority non whites themselves.

It's kind of strange how in OWB you have Thao and Zhang as Chinese Communists in Strathcommune and Withered Dogs respectively but no Communist path for the Shi. You'd think they'd be the first to get one. It would be interesting if you could go Communist Shi, ally with Thao and Zhang and then get some events from Mainland China communicating with you. This would probably be better as a submod like Enclave Reborn Redux.

>>2467466>>2467495>>2467522>>2467534Alright, turns out that tonight became an impromptu movie night. Very good movie, surprisingly nuanced, definitely not what I expected. The politicians are flawed but in believable ways on both sides of the coin, the non-whites aren't a single cohesive bloc, and free trade agreements and the hollowing out of the industrial base being mentioned as a hinderance to the ability to wage war. Despite the comedic underpinnings of the movie, it does actually portray issues on immigration, free trade, states rights and more in a way that I certainly didn't expect. A puritan /pol/tard can find plenty of things to hate but if everything has to be the Triumph of the Will then you're just not going to have a lot of fun in life. There's some pro-multicultural parts in the movie but giving both sides a fair shake is just something you wouldn't see today.>Actual spoilers now but you should all watch this movie!Holy shit this thing doesn't pull its punches either. Executions, Americans gunning down each other, everyone slowly losing it as they realize that shit's going off the rails. Some quotes in it feel like they could've been from TFR factions talking about how dead America is today. I also really appreciated the ending: there is no happy ending. The flawed governor that might as well be a proto-Trump wants to bail, but shots have been fired and there's no turning back. Several states back Idaho and the war is on. I expected some kind of copout where the National Guard stands down, the migrants get through and the crisis is defused but no everything goes to hell. Ending quote by James Earl Jones is also very fitting. It's bleak, but I like that he infuses a bit of hope in the end; humans will eventually learn, just not today. Not what I would've said, but it's not a bad note to end things on compared to what I'd expected.Thanks again for the recommendation. Very pleasantly surprised.
For the fire rises which faction(s) you think needs a massive overhaul or at least addition?

>>2467576I'm glad you liked it, It really is a great film for it's prescience alone, the fact that it is actually very human when you get down to it heaps levels of quality on top as well.>One of the standout parts for me was how the President could not give less of a shit about the orphans, when he decides to no longer larp as Eisenhower and instead makes Lincoln his literally me is such a great scene. If he had been like that from the beginning then the civil war would probably never happen. The fact that even the old White man in office (Irish) is pushing for his own ethnicity's interests is also very symbolic, as is the race war occurring between the Blacks and Latinos whilst the Whites fight each other. The LA police don't even speak English as the mayor is speaking about seceding. James Earl Jones getting harassed by a fellow Black for the crime of marrying a Jewish girl who he met at the back of the bus during Segregation is just so poetic. There are also so many little great moments like with the generals where it is personal rather then political with them arguing over Desert Storm and the Federal commander racially denigrating the very orphans he was sent to protect. The politicians watching from the cameras view it as Lee and Grant talking with honour and eloquence whilst in actuality it is like the men from Generation Kill cussing each other out over the race to Kuwait. The idea that the now majority Chinese Rhode Island supports the Hicks is also an amazing piece by itself - they want independence and autonomy as much as the Southern and Midwestern Whites. The executions, the Statue of Liberty, the journalists choosing to stay in an active war zone to get good shots to make the Duke proud, it is all so real.

>>2467731I think it was a genuine mistake on his part, he seems perplexed to me later on when he says how it will just confuse the shit out of the President.
>>2467740Will they be fighting the EU as their nemesis? Not to tread on already stamped upon ground but they really should rework how that works so you can at least fight the Liberal Capitalist EU as the Communists, I don't like that matchup being locked behind a defeat path. Left-Wing Putinism Lukashenko is good though.
>>2467465What you do with India is that you balkanize it and forget about it. They've not really done anything worth thinking of.
>>2467745I think the nazbols are a defeat path. So they'll be fighting regular eurolibs unless that changes somehow.
>>2467792I really wish we could form a version of hyper EU as regular NATO Europe. Just having the regular party groups in a federal EU without the extreme content would be great.
>>2467740Age of False patriotism lets you find Necronomicon>>2467745They’re a defeat pathAs for fighting NWO as commies/fascists, there are Alikhanov and successors. But I wish Europe could go centrist regardless of who it losses to. In fact, they’re a more thematic enemy.Which is a better opponent >communists, fighting against final evolution of capitalism>traditional empire against Beast of RevelationsOr>oligarchs and tentative democratic reformersMaybe europe could go any route if they lost to Medvedev as well. Just no mirror matchI also wish Capital would be a post-victory path. Japan doesn’t have as much riding in the victory and if they do win that emboldens Capital. Plus post-defeat China is more interesting and a better opponent
>>2467800Making the defeat content work for multiple outcomes would be a coding nightmare. It's better to just make new versions for NATO Europe. That shit needs improving anyway whereas the defeat routes are already a lot more fun.
>>2467465>>2467791Saaar Bharat has a alot of potential saaar. If TNO could make Siberia fun and KX could make Africa fun then there is no excuse for Bharat saar.
>>2467813>>2467465very true sir! jai hind!ideally any indian focus tree would end with nukes destroying itor just some genocidal ideology that exterminates 90% of the population
Also Red flood had a very interesting India path where Churchill became a genocidal dictator and would become so schizo that even the British would declare war him to stop him.He could also get couped by Savitri Devi who would then try to end the Kali Yuga.
>>2467805Victory content should remain victory content and defeat content should remain defeat content, I just think requirements need to be loosened up a bit. It still, in the end, ends up with declare war on sovAs for better post victory eu, I guess there is Europunk although I never played itKinda tempted to install it only to roll through them as occultist nazbols
>>2467841I just think that they could make a NATO victory route option include a less insane version of the federal EU.
>>2467859There os federalisation in base game and europunk expands on it
>>2467864I don't care. Base mod federalization fucking sucks and I want them to eventually do something better than Europunk.
They'll probably never do it, but it'd be nice if Schwab was also a 1EW victory path for Germany.
>>2467800>Plus post-defeat China is more interesting and a better opponentAgreed. They should try to add some interesting/cool paths to a China that wins the Taiwan War but honestly I can't think of any.
>>2467880I think rehashing or watering it down would just make it a shitty version of the route that's already there and no one wants that.
>>2467882That's fair, but I think Schwab and the WEF taking over an EU that forms after winning the 1EW is plausible and would lead to interesting match ups like the World Government vs Dugin.
>>2467793Can't the germs federalize the EU? I never did that because it sounded boring, but I saw it was a decision.
For the great war redux is there a reason to let Lenin get assassinated while playing as the soviets?
>>2467883I want Schwab against Pringles matchup. You are liberating Europe by warcriming through the continent.
>>2467894Don't, it's fucking awful. I expected it to be like MD's fully federal EU but no. All it does is rename the country, annexes Brussels and that's it. You're called the EU, but you're just Germany with a different name. Since Brussels has no direct link to Germany all your deployments are fucked too. You don't even get new heads of state. There'd at least be some novelty in having your ruling party translate into its corresponding EU group but there isn't even that. It's awful and a very big disappointment.Could be fixed though if they just>Had a EU commissioner election to change your HoS>Let you annex the Benelux regionSeriously, that alone would fix the mechanical problems and give you some novelty for investing into a meme route. But as it stands you might as well go AfD and leave the EU. At least that's rewarding from a nationalist point of view. Seriously it wouldn't even need a full update to make it less awful.
>>2467882>>2467883Schawb is just the best antagonist that everyone can be happy about lynching off the Eifel tower. Nazi europe/ Radelsführer and Lafayette are the only other match up that compares in being as epic. They should probably add similarly cool enemies to face in other paths, but making those two accessible as other enemies would still work.
>>2467953It doesn't even need to be an "epic enemy", just a good heel. Someone you can really hate. That's another mistake the brainless retards over at TFR did. Just make Ursula the head of the EU in the condem runs and it goes from being the most boring, generic shit to being something that a lot of people actually care about wrecking on one side of the coin and something a lot of people would identify with on the other. What do we get? A fucking generic portrait. Weak.
>>2467979True enough, not every battle needs to be against a great archnemesis, but yes, Ursula makes a better foe than faceless eu-istan. I'm hoping this all gets improved whenever they do get to fixing Europe. Right now only Germany is really worth a damn.
>>2467983Barely. It's alright in the 1EW fail routes but even that has some caveats. You care about the Radelsfuehrer and all the communist leaders because they're good opponents for the LDPR and CPRF and vice-veras, more than 50% of the outcomes in the EU are genericface slop. The problem definitely carries over to the NATO victory routes where you'll exclusively face generic liberals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_groups_of_the_European_ParliamentImagine if you had a chance to face a federal EU based on extremely idealistic versions of these groups. Green Reset EU, ultra-market liberal Renew, pseudo-communist left or a CivNat ECR/PFE opponent. It just hits different than a generic centrist government, you know?Thankfully these problems aren't hard to fix and I'm sure that the people working on the mod today will improve what's there right now. Might not be what I just prescribed and it might be better but holy shit, give us a better opponent than some random politicians whose names no one can remember.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144550/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNpGBTU_jt4Going to give this film a chance over the weekend. Same writer that did the Second Civil War movie co-wrote this one.>An officer in the United States military becomes a whistleblower and pushes for survivability testing after corrupt generals in the Pentagon attempt to cover up glaring safety problems with the new Bradley Fighting Vehicle.I mean, that does sound interesting and the ACW movie really gave me some hype for his works, hopefully it won't be a brutal disappointment. I should probably watch that more recent ACW movie too, apparently that one's OK too.Still can't get over how kino that second civil war movie was ngl.t. Buchananon
>>2468076>Pentagon WarsIt's based off a book that's apparently a real life story. Good piece of history. Very depressing to know that 40+ years later, nothing changed too
>>2468076As the anon who recommended Civil War, Pentagon Wars is also well worth the watch. I will say it has aged slightly in parts considering how well the Bradley has proven itself though at the same time the general principles still apply about the Pentagon being children when it comes to money. The movie does highlight some pretty real issues with it's creation and design though that definitely makes it still poignant as the same shit still happens.>recent ACWI wouldn't recommend it personally, it is everything the 97 one wasn't. It would probably be fine by itself but the comparison really does make it worse. Also they have Texas and California aligned which makes it suck conceptually and they semi-puss out of giving the war actual reasons and causes. It also follows scum journos.>"By the way, you still owe me a case of whiskey from that card game in Sarajevo, you cheap son of a bitch"

>>2468085>>2468088https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0121789/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyn_BurkeI might actually look deeper into the guy's work. Reading about him, it seems like he was influenced pretty heavily by his time in Vietnam as a freelancer.>Recent ACW film badEverything's worse these days so that's to be expected. The two movies being very thematically similar (ACW, following journalists, both trying not to be overt propaganda) makes for an interesting comparison even if I'm obviously going in with the expectation that it's not going to be as good as something from the 90s with a good cast and writer. Agree on the premise though. I get why they made it so that it wouldn't be seen as partisan and I can respect that but the 1997 movie did it much more elegantly. It's one state breaking off from a controversial policy, the governor is depicted as someone that could pass as either a Blue Dog or a progressive Republican that's a populist on immigration, and the world building has other states joining in make sense. Still hard to believe that a 1997 comedy was downright prescient and even-handed with its political depiction.
>>2468076>that more recent ACW movieIt's meh. They could've done a million interesting things but they did none of them. There's a lot of "it happened, we're not going to explain how, just roll with it", and always the impression that there's something that could've been amazing but you're looking at it through a keyhole. The impression that there's something worth a thousand stories but the camera never goes there, nor does it touch upon it.The shootout scenes are great, specially the one near the end of the movie

>>2468156I get that people want to do the re-establish monarchy paths but I most of the time they don't make sense for the time period Hoi4 and mods are set in. Real life monarchies or dynasties are established by some guy with military power overthrowing the current state and making himself King, not by finding some failson and putting him in charge when the last time his ancestor was even in charge was before anyone's grandparents were even alive. The.modern equivalent is someone declaring themselves President or Prime Minister ala Franco in Spain (even if ironically Spain re-established its Monarchy after Franco died) but I guess that doesn't have the same romantic nostalgia vibes as reestablishing a monarchy does. Any living member of those dynasties could try to make themselves a King but that would get in the way of being a diplomat to the Vatican or being a Race car Driver or euro Banker, sorry to inconvenience you "your Majesty" (yes I paraphrased that bleppsama post)

>>2467918You know you can annex and core other EU members, right? It's tedious and Europunk does it a lot better, there's no reason to play base TFR instead of it, but if you do federalize in base TFR, you get decisions to boost the popularity of aligned parties in other member states. Once you reach a certain %, you'll annex them - or, if you haven't federalized yet, you'll puppet them and annex them later.
>>2468163Yeah eventually you have to make the difficulty aritificial. Total War is in my opinion the worst offender. Flat stat boosts make combat pure cancer. Your tier 2 units are getting slaughtered in a direct 1v1 against tier 1 units they are supposed to counter.Give me more enemies to fight but not retarded stat boosts.
>>2468155>TFR is hard carried by 2ACW factionsUnironically every 2ACW run so far has been cursed for me with the tags bugging out or getting stacked by super factions.Russia has been the most fun so far, even after having played most paths. My recent Wagner run was kino, especially since the 2EW was well balanced in this run.>China/Loji.China is peak and it feels like the cotent here has the highest quality. However the country is insanely overpowered and the GAW is way too easy for China.Pic related.Germany and France need a rework soon. I actually like the mechanic I complained about. It's just that I get effectively locked out of my focus tree with little option to do anything about it. Should have more options to get support from different parties.
>>2468075I was quite shocked that the reworked tree had full tranime integration. >>2468138The best was the one which gave you tons of entrenchment. I got 85% defense buff just from stacking entrenchment (would've been even higher if I bothered adding dozer blades and rushing shovel 2s).

Judgement Day Lives! Really surprised by how close they announced the release date."On the 16th of September 2023, Judgment Day was first released into the public light. It was a beast of its time thanks to the many talented developers that first breathed light into it. Some might call it many unflattering names, but for all of us in the current team it was something that inspired us to polish that first potential into something more.Now, it is the 15th of August 2026, 1064 days after the launch of the first demo, and we are proud to announce that the clock is at a minute before midnight. Judgment Day's second demo will officially release on the 22nd of this month. We thank you all for your patience and your support in these last couple of years, we hope this Judgment Day drives you all insane same as it has done to us all at the team."
>>2468253I'm excited
Between constant tfr shilling and retarded namefag spamming his shit no one cares about I'll have to begrudgingly admit that red poop dude is more annoying.
>>2468277thanks
>>24682533 years only for another demo
>>2468281>namefagwhat are you doing outside of containment /vn/
>>2468245As the only person on /vst/ that's actually beaten this game multiple times There are parts of it that are great. George W. Bush 2.0 triggering domestic terrorism/mass prepping by his anti-constitutional actions and contested elections, the nuke in DC, the EU just straight up taking over the entire DC area and declaring a continental peacekeeping mission and fighting 1776ers and Confederates is pretty kino and all the persistent destruction you could do was also great. Plenty of things in that game are things that the TFR devs should just steal.The problem with copying the setting outright is that none of the factions really have much personality. You can infer some things through their special unites like Pacifica (lmao) getting a more high-tech unique units and the text in their loading screens, but even then most are pretty generic and lack personality. You'd have to do a lot to fill in the gaps. It also takes place in the Bush-era (or a near future inspired by it), and the only guy with some personality in the entire game is the US President and he dies in the DC nuke.
>>2468287Fun to laugh at them taking 3 years to put out another demo until I remembered they're beating Red Flood releasing Burning Memories.

>>2468463ATW in general needs a dedicated rework IMO. fun but not even close to what they actually think
>>2468776Explain the lore please.
>>2468776>ReworkHow about let's not go the way of TNO?
>>2468776I don't think they need a huge rework, just change it so joining the National Front is no longer necessary and they can viably win without being carried by the Patriot Front. Also give the Satanists and Christians unique endgames.
>>2468782>Also give the Satanists an unique endgame.But that's literally their endgame irl unless you're meaning flavor.Acceleracionists should be able to NOT nuke the world if Nazi PoS survives.Zero idea what the Christians could be like but it could have something to do with Jerusalem or the whole Middle East including Istanbul. And Azerbaijan.
>>2468782>give the Satanists an unique endgameThey succeed in invoking demons, but it soon turns into a demonic incursion and the AWD has to fight it back.
>>2468782A dev said that they're going to fix some of AWD's balance issues to make it less frustrating to play. Currently you can make runs outright impossible through no fault of your own if RNG Jesus isn't on your side so that's good. Because right now if you don't play one specific way and let NA hard carry you you're basically fucked unless you're really lucky with RNG.>>2468828Accelerationists nuking everything seems more on-brand. If Satanists got a unique ending it should focus more on them creating a nightmare for everyone that survives.>Mason has the option to not nuke the world if PoS survivesThat's actually a great idea.
>>2468828>Third reich is reistablished in germany and did what original could not?>water crisis turned caused mass casulties in Africa? >South Africa is under nazi rule>Asia is a wreck, China and Infia are Balkanised, Japan is nuked, ladt man standing is NS Australia>in America, hardliner National front won and we have significant influence?>save me niggerman, we’re all doomed, nukes away!
>>2469048>niggerman*lassalle man
The Soviet Union has 0 mils on infantry equipment and 115 on armor.Something tells me this all goes into mobile ATGMs. Why does the AI and TFR sometimes do complete memes in production?
>>2468828>But that's literally their endgame irl Sure. But giving the Satanists and Christians unique endgames would be fun and add replayability. After conquering America just throw in an event where they ponder whether or not they should change course or stick to the original plan with you being able to pick. Siege path however only has the nuclear holocaust endgame.
>>2469222If this is after 1EW then the AI probably just has a trillion guns in their stockpile from capped Europoors and just builds tanks instead since that's what they need for their templates. Otherwise idk HOI4 AI lol.
>>2469232it's after 1EW but they also have 0 manpower and maybe 100 divisions in total. it is joever because I will just run over them.
>>2466558>In fact looking critically at the series it has quite interesting implications despite turtledove being a hackThat was the funniest part to me. Trying to paint the nazis as le evil ones despite the fact that humanity was straight up getting invaded by aliens that wanted to enslave everyone. Like can you blame them for wanting to actually get rid of them? If anything, I'm amazed the Soviets didn't also do that. A space EMPIRE ruled by an actual MONARCH coming to Earth to make humanity into SERFS?Still liked the start of the series. Fell off after the timeskip.
>>2469287I actually thought about it for a while. Spoilers for a series old enough to drink, I guess.Epilogue reveals that lizards don’t have enough nukes to end humanity anymore and looking at things would probably lose eventually, by colonisation time they have enough to make earth uninhabitable. Therefore our plucky heroes put humanity at risk of extinction while continuing the war would probably end up with humans winning.The son of that pilot guy is basically a weeb-skinhead.Race is outraged by Holocaust despite conducting ethnic cleansing at a larger scale.Jews are the only ethnicity to stab humanity in the back. Afterwards they proceed to use that status to screw over Poles and Arabs. You’d think this was written by a /pol/ack.Every Nazi character can be summarised by “damn, I never considered jews are actually human” except for a guy that worked for Mossad irl.>fell off after timeskipYeah. Worldwar is worth a read, colonisation and homeworld bound only if you liked it and wanna see further development. But plot is…interesting.Nuclear war with german strategy being nuking random human cities and starfing hotels. Didn’t even bother nuking Israel.Two different four book long subplot that ends with characters exactly where they started.Above mentioned weeb-skinhead mix.USSR dropping a ballistic missile of alien viagra on Australia and getting away with it. Aliens suddenly developing icbms despite that in previous books nukes were gravity dropped.Short story is such an odd experience. You’d think that humans visiting their homeworld would give us world building but no, it’s send off to random characters. Forgive me for using an /a/ analogy, but it’s like Evangellion ended on episode 7 and was followed by End of Evangelion.
A third grisha vs gunther game has been called off because gunther did not want to play as the heckin' evil chuds
>>2469311>Epilogue reveals that lizards don’t have enough nukes to end humanity anymore and looking at things would probably lose eventually, by colonisation time they have enough to make earth uninhabitable. Therefore our plucky heroes put humanity at risk of extinction while continuing the war would probably end up with humans winning.There's an odd part about this. Why do they need nukes if they have space travel? There's nothing to prevent them from chucking rocks, and if nuking the Earth until it becomes a wasteland is already on the table, there's no real reason to care about what happens to the planet from the rocks.>no world buildingThe most annoying part of the series honestly. I was excited to see how the weird aliens' homeplanet would be and how their society normally works, but you get the scene where they meet the ligger emperor and uhuuhuahuuhh ahhuahuhghghuahug Humanity arrives with FTL and the book ends.From what I've heard, shit not making sense if you actually think about it for more than ten minutes is one of Turtledove's characteristic traits.Oh, and being the world's biggest jewlover (his grandparents are jewish btw). Probably why he simple HAD to have the germans get nuked back into the stone age in the series.It could have been so much more.Bonus points for destroying muh cute couple by killing the dude and giving the girl horrific agony from a nerve gas attack she survived. It just felt spiteful.
>>2469318Redirecting asteroid is actually a lot of work and lizards aren’t particularly inventive. Plus humans do have a space force. Naturally that gets next to no attention. After all, that page space needs to go to a plot that went LITERALLY NOWHERE.As for German-lizard war that made zero sense. Why did they nuke Poland, area they intended to take and right on their border instead of lizard cities?I don’t even think it’s germany hatred since they recover in homeworld bound. Everyone gets away with shit they really shouldn’t.Also lizard plan of using ships as RKKVs wouldn’t work since humans have ftl>killing cute coupleIt’s been a while since I read it, who are you talking about?>could have been moreUnironically hoi4 mod could do it justice. I read a few web attempts at alt hist Worldwar and they sucked
>>2469318>>2469325I also decided to take a look at his newer works and holy fuckhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_the_Last_Trump_Shall_SoundThis make Caligula path look realistic
>>2469325>plot that went LITERALLY NOWHERENo, no. It went somewhere. It gave us a very funny page where Turtledove described what it's like to wake up and realize you have gonorrhea because it burns when you pee.>Why did they nuke PolandAt this point you can already ask a lot more questions. Why was there no MAD? Why did none of the Earth nations intervene once it was clear the Lizards have spent their nukes on Germany? If the lizards were slow on the uptake, why didn't the germans use the Abwehr to try to minimize the nuclear threat?>humans have FTLYeah, but that's at the very end of the final book.>who are you talking aboutYou'll have to excuse me for not giving you their names as it's been a lot of years since I first read the series, but as far as I can recall, there was a romance between a downed german fighter pilot and a russian or polish resistance fighter girl. I found it very cute because neither of them was very happy over falling in love with the Enemy, but they got over it. Then what's his face gassed the town with VX and he died and she became a cripple.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_the_Last_Trump_Shall_SoundWhat the fuck lmao. Yeah I guess I remembered right, Turtledove's stories don't make a lick of sense.
>>2469315Did he actually say that? Because if he didn't I'd be more charitable about it. He's a grown man and he has better things to do than getting embarrassed by the retards he gets into his teams. He was pretty much the only sane guy on the NATO side in the last stream. He was having fun, everyone else was just chronically seething.
>>2469328Of course. STD scenes are crucial and it would be a crime to deprive us of that and tell us about human space colonisation, resistance fighters in lizard occupied areas, interstate interactions and soviet/japanese viewpointI guess you could explain it as lizards still having enough stockpiles to make fighting them at the very least too costlyTheir colony ship rkkv plan materialised after humans arrived through.Oh yeah, I remember. That woman also dies when Warsaw gets nuked. At least it wasn’t that German mechanic guy that tried to rape her and got shot off screen.God damn a hoi4 team could do a much better job

>on WorldwarI haven't read that one, but I did read a little of Southern Victory. It's not much better.
>>2469315Don't even blame the guy. Dude got ridiculed for no fault of his own and for having pros on his team who can't even defeat AI Greece.
>>2469388He kind of brings the ridicule on himself since he intentionally takes up a lot of space online with provocative politics, but yeah, this tfr sideshow must have been incredibly unenjoyable. Sitting in front of some autism game you know nothing about for eight hours with half a dozen manchildren seething in your ear, just so people will have something to spam your twitter comments with or whatever.
>>2469388>>2469409The 2nd team was definetly worse than the 1st. Not just by skill but overall team cohesion too.If you get Dankus, Nayf and Segl to play as the 3 NATO countries that Grisha proposed, they would have an actual shot at winning provided they spend some time preparing for the match.I can understand Gunther here since the vibe of the 1st team was way better even when they were losing. Gunther was in a better mood as well when losing the original round.Basically, OttovonBiscuit is a nigger.
>>2469409>He kind of brings the ridicule on himself since he intentionally takes up a lot of space online with provocative politicsThere's a difference between him playing a character on Xitter to get people interested in the EPP and him being associated with retarded manchildren who somehow are most likely worse at HOI4 than the boomer that never booted the game.Not saying I disagree. In fact, I agree with your entire post for the most part ESPECIALLY Otto behaving like a nigger. I'm just saying that he probably doesn't care about people seething about him on Xitter since he's a blatant troll, provocateur and even a bit of a satirist (even if he's obviously still the EPP's and NATO's strongest soldier in Austria). But on the flipside he definitely DOES mind being associated with embarrassing manchildren that do nothing but coping, seething and bitching at each other.

Replaying TFR recently, and it's becoming a less believable counterfactual, especially compared to how OTL has played out since. UOA>Portrayed as being way too woke IMO. that's certainly a part of it, but really doesn't make sense for any path besides Social Democrats. realistically would be a lot more moderate and centrist, needs something like an Abundance path>better differentiation between UOA social Democrats vs APLA DSA. Seen that fight happen enough times that it needs an explicit explanation (for example, sanders being Social Patriot in red dusk makes sense, have the division be based on foreign policy with UOA DSA still being pro-nato/interventionist, and APLA DSA being isolationist)ACG>The Christian Right (Catholic, evangelical, Mormon) is totally missing from this faction, also, Dark Enlightment/Hamiltonians belong here much better than PTF. >dark maga is low-key a retarded idea and should be replaced with a Mormon deep state path, dark horse prophecy style right wing natsec coup + Mormon capitalism. they already have the bunkers and armed professional paramilitary so it's just makes sense. get rid of the retarded FLDS faction which makes no sense in Utah (this path would also have special mechanics in the Mexican civil war with the Mormon/US proxy faction)>Thielite faction - dark enlightenment surveillance state, heavy focus on automation and research, special corporate influence mechanics from palantir, anduril, flock, and all the usual suspectsFirst European war happens way too late and should take place at the same time as the Taiwan war, as part of a concentrated effort by CRINK nations in response to the 2ACW around 2022Israel Palestine war should happen in 2023 and have a similar style ceasefire, and then larger second round like the GAW and 2EW. all of the large conflicts should eventually merge into a larger WW3 at some point. they feel way too unrelated, when realistically any fighting on any front would quickly escalate globally

I've come to the conclusion that TNO is just a malignant tumor upon the HOI4 community and that absolutely nothing good can come out of it. It's almost entirely a product of political sperging and its complete removal of all gameplay from a lot of tags means that it's a safe entry point for people that don't play strategy games and just want to talk about their politics 24/7. Whatever content they make revolve around the personal politics/vanity projects of a few lead devs that focus entirely on just clicking a few buttons in an interface to advance a political agenda. They spend more time attacking other mods, fan forks, submods and other devs than they spend time on actual content. The mod and clique of leaders are the worst thing to have ever happened to HOI4 modding and until they disband they'll add nothing to the community other than drama, conflict and a neverending supply of gayops. If it wasn't for the latter it wouldn't be as big of a deal but they're just a constant source of troublemaking that makes the entire community worse just through them existing and stirring shit at every given opportunity.The sooner the mod collapses and its leads leave the community the better. I don't think anything else can stop it from being such a hopeless dramafarm.
>>2470357>complains it's a pointless dramafarm>posts a long dramatic post outside the containment boardanon....

>>2470411Might as well play them anyways. Base OWB will not get anywhere near there this century
Do these bonuses do something ridiculous in Keiserreich? I played a game as Germany and won rather easily, so I gave Internationale and Russia just one pip of this for some extra challenge, and now I've lost two games in a row, and it's not even close. Their infantry just walks through my lines even though I have good air superiority, good supply, good divisions, doctrines, and full officer corps, and I've gotten rid of the unpreparedness debuffs. I don't get why my frontlines just melt like butter. And my tanks do just about nothing on the offense, which I don't understand either.
>>2470437Look into the actual battles. Percentage modifiers in battles can work multiplicative instead of additive. So one country modifier stacked with others can spiral out of control. This is why planning bonus is so important.However if the enemy base stats are high then this is just due to strong division templates with good tech.
>>2470437>good divisions, doctrinesNot good enough then.

Feels like most mods that aren't OWB or TFR are losing steam these days, is hoi4 modding dying?
>>2470651>Major mods that have broad appeal or recently update grow>Other mods remain stagnant or lose steamThat's just business as usual. When the mod subscriber tracker drops his monthly update you're likely to see KX see a big bump too owing to its fairly decent Germany update.
>>2470651No it's not it's just that the standards are much higher and if before you could make garbage like red flood and gain thousands of subscribers the same stuff wouldn't fly in 2026 as we've seen with Kalterkrieg (as the saying goes had it released in 2020 it would been a cult classic). There's also an influx of shills for tfr which made this place unbearable and if you only get your info from 4chan then your perspective will be screwed by the people who post here who are not representative of hoi4 modding as a whole
>>2468772Just spam infantry equipment and get as many inf and cav divisions as you can, then take down Russia first. I somehow ended up going to war with Russia in 1937 in my game and France declared immediately after, still managed to win the weltkrieg by like 1939.
>>2470651I think the obvious answer is that we had a huge bump during Covid when standards were low and volunteers were plenty. Those people have now gotten a life or got burnt out by modding. The people who replaced them have either spent years working on mods yet to release or are now working on mods that bleed team members after their first big release. Also lol at OWB and TFR not also being stagnant. OWB's last huge update was a year ago and they are basically only kept alive by submods. TFR hasn't updated in 8 months and 1.1 still isn't out. People are going to cope and say "but the leaks" but some anon popping in here to say 1.1 is finished isn't actually a release date. The only consistent mod is EAW and that's because of pony autism.
>>2470709>The mod I hate demonstrably having several complete civil war paths is just a copeI don't know why I even bother reading your posts when it's obviously just going to be someone seething about more successful people.

>>2470670>There's also an influx of shills for tfrZ.
>>2470753Well, at least it wasn't written by AI, that's for sure.
>>2470782i know what you mean since that has ruined atleast two ERB runs for me, and also a few with TNO. I have no clue as to WHY it happens but it is reversable, the only way i have figured out how to stop it is it launch the game while its lagging, make a save, and then load it while the game is still running. 9 times out of ten it would work for me.

I have received privileged information that DQKR MQGQ will soon release, an announcement is expected in the coming weeks!Nothing can stop what is coming!Nothing!
>>2471036>coming weeks>six weeksAt least it's not on 2027 or december desu
>>2471039December's possible but I can't see it being pushed back to 2027, they finished the pre-war stuff a bit ago.
>>2471036trvst the plan -q
I can't wait for Alex Jones to announce DQRK MQGQ's release on September 11th 2026. 9/11 was the globalist's greatest power grab, and the DQRK MQGQ MQNDQTQ will be the greatest populist pushback against them. I could've think of a better way to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 911 and turn it into a victory for America.

>>2470882Thanks for trying to help anon, but that didn't work no matter how many times I tried. I think its something in the save itself, since I can load a save from the prior year and it runs fine. If I get some time I might try looking at the save to see what's wrong, or I might just need to restart from an earlier save.

>>2470651Standards simply increased, also many teams have been experimenting or pushing the boundaries of the engine and modding in general, frankly HOI4 mods have never been better and I'm honestly more embarassed by mods like TWR where they consider 70 day focuses which give you one factory or a hundred political power acceptable content.
>Nicola is now banning people for posting bug reportsIs he trying to become a lolcow again?
>>2471602Can people like this just get drafted and blown up by an FPV drone?
>>2471601>TWR where they consider 70 day focuses which give you one factory or a hundred political power acceptable content.Why did HoI4 evolve to here where gameplay is all about focus trees? I don't even particularly enjoy that mini game of having to figure out the optimal build order. I'd rather manage my equipment and front lines.
>>2471617Focus trees in the past were pretty bad. Compare the old Soviet tree to the new one. You had fucking 210 focus trees that did nothing.You don't have to go optimal build order and new focus trees give you actual agency instead of getting locked into pretty much the same path all the time.As long as you don't pull a Millenium Dawn where you have a gorillion dependencies it is fine.

>>2471631>focus trees>the core mechanicWe are clearly playing different games. This thread is about Hearts of Iron.
>>2471637How the fuck do you even rationalize focus trees not being a core part of HOI4? What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>2471636Most drama with him is like that and that's why he'll always be a universally ridiculed lolcow. He takes the most aggressive stance on everything at every turn and never with a good reason. The definition of a terminally online tranny janny.
How will you feel when Dark Mandate USA falls into civil war after trumps assassination
>>2471708Oh so now it's "a" instead of "the"? Also, it's not even "a". HoI4 is about moving divisions, supplying them, and fighting a war. It's not about clicking skill tree. I'd ask what your rationale is for calling it a/the core part, but I don't really care because you're obviously quite retarded.
>>2471726I'd be cool with that as a failstate outcome. Basically Dark MAGA's equivalent to the Judas ending for Cog.
>>2471756You're mentally ill, holy shit.
>>2471768A retard diagnosing someone mentally ill does not mean much. It's also not an argument, but of course a retard would think otherwise.
>>2471773It's a statement of fact that you're just a drooling idiot if you think that focus trees aren't an integral part of HOI4 just because prior games didn't have the feature. It's as mentally ill as claiming that controlling units on the battlefield is a major part of Victoria 3 despite its absence from the game by arguing that past games in the series had that feature.
Rolling back to try paxbrit. Wtf happened to the balance in this mod? France AI loses to the dutch, Italy literally always joins the brits (D'Annunzio can't fill his single-digit-tile front line lmao), Spain lasts maybe a month before capping, Russia can't take even a single tile from the germans ever, and then the US starts landing... playing Prussia feels like playing an Axis minor in vanilla except Germany stalls out and dies to Poland while Belgium pushes the frontline back
>>2471775>It's a statement of fact that you're just a drooling idiotStopped reading right there. Just out of spite, really. It gives me some satisfaction to know that you wrote something at me that I'm never going to read. I'm sure it's yet more retarded screeching with zero arguments anyway.

1/2 Instead of vehicle and division designer autism, the game needed to go harder into production management.Imagine no more civs/mils. You just build factories that do different things. For instance, just like how coal doesn't automatically give you power, you have to build a power plant, if you want to have a resource actually be usable by your other factories, you should have to set up a foundry that makes a certain amount of your resource reserve available. This means countries don't get access to all their resources off the bat but actually have to develop their extraction industry first before they can take advantage of it. Consumer goods shouldn't be a fixed % but something you manually set a factory to make - the more of them you have, the better your war support/etc, but any time and resources spent on consumer good production could obviously have been spent on something else, so you have to decide yourself how much you want to make. Food should be its own resource - it's fucking bonkers vehicles need fuel but humans don't need food. You need to build farms that make food both for your civilian population and your military - units cut off from supply that run out of food should quickly die from catastrophic HP loss, while lack of food for your civilian population should cause maluses and population loss. Arms factories should be tooled from the beginning to build a specific kind of thing - you shouldn't just be able to take a factory making planes and turn it around to make guns like you can currently. It should only be able to switch to making newer versions of that same kind of weapon - so, newer planes, newer tanks, etc. Could also have this interact with MIOs by having each factory owned by a different MIO and thus giving that MIO's bonuses to that factory's output. Same with dockyards - do away with the absurd system of having multiple dockyards work on the same ship - each dockyard makes ONE ship at a time.
>>24723272/2And you design a dockyard to be a particular size to make a particular kind of ship (sub/carrier/destroyer/etc) when you construct it - no more magically being able to have every dockyard in the country magically able to handle building a battleship when before they were just making little destroyers.You'd obviously be able to build construction firms that do what civs do now - build and repair - it's just that due to factories now being less malleable, you'd need to actually plan out beforehand how many you need to build and when you need to switch to building actual production.
>>2472327Sorry I play too many mods, so to be clear: just like how in many mods (not vanilla), you don't get power from coal automatically but have to build power plants, you should have to do the same with other resources.
>>2472327>Imagine no more civs/mils. You just build factories that do different things. For instance, just like how coal doesn't automatically give you power, you have to build a power plant, if you want to have a resource actually be usable by your other factories, you should have to set up a foundry that makes a certain amount of your resource reserve available.That would go terribly with the game though. There's basically zero depth in terms of country management, occupation, logistics etc and any sort of significant change in the way production and factories work would break everything at worst and make building things worthless at best.
>>2472355>make building things worthlessYou literally can't fight without building stuff so that's impossible
>>2472327>Instead of vehicle and division designer autism, the game needed to go harder into production management.If we dumbed down combat and had a more complex industry then HOI4 would be Stellaris but with less kino and more aids.The fact that you can be so autistic about your military is the main reason the game is so good.
>>2472378Vehicle and division design shit doesn't have anything to do with actual combat beyond exact unit stats. You could get rid of it and combat would function exactly the same, you just wouldn't be able to tweak unit stats as finely.If you care only about combat, play fucking Panzer Corps or something. If this is a strategy game, then at the very, very least there needs to be a significant economic component to the gameplay (ie your ability to sustain and conduct combat, not just execute it).
This is, unsurprisingly, still infested with TNOhaters. Even when I'm away for some time you are all still obsessing with minute stuff. Where is 1.1?
>>2472380Dishonest argument. If we go that route then production is also just numbers and values.
>>2472391>Where is 1.1?Two more seasons.
>>2472402The point is that it requires forethought and planning - ie, a *strategy*. Because this is a strategy game. Tinkering with terrain modifiers or agility values only matters if you're intentionally trying to min-max/break the poorly-thought-out design systems due to how unrealistic the impact of kind of granularity is. You're not strategizing. Strategizing is planning what kinds of ships you need in what quantity and when, not how many fucking AA guns are on a particular battleship as if that matters on a global fucking scale.
dib faggots have already collapsed into civil war lmao>tl;dr: Ruskie revival project of daydream in BLACKED started a civil war because non-official sequel mod of dib has shitpost portraits and its barely coded, despite the fact they also havent made any progress and just keep obsessing over the original creator JuneTroon
>>2468253HEIL UNRUH
>>2472411>devs fight for who got more members on their servers instead of developing this is what happens when you let slavs code
why does this game attract so many retards who obviously hate it and the game should be changed to suit them?
>>2472406Why do you suggest gutting the combat then?The shit you initially wrote out is poorly thoguht out anyway. While in theory some of these could be good additions, ultimately you would have a gorillion ways this could get exploited against the AI and break the game completely.
>>2472419Because the game is merely a mod template. The launch game was a bare-bones, bugged out, dumbed down mess and the endless parade of DLC has not really fixed that, simply bolted meme shit onto a bad foundation.
>>2472420I didn't say that, you evidently can't read.If the AI can't handle any kind of complex strategy, then Paradox shouldn't be making singleplayer strategy games as they're clearly incompetent.
>>2472421>The launch game was a bare-bones, bugged out, dumbed down mess and the endless parade of DLCbut enough about literally every pdx title since 2014
one of three down already, truly everything that June makes is cursed
>>2472426Jeez. How many iterations of DIB does this mark KIA?
>>2472424Nah this nigger. You clearly said it. Simple as that.Go play Superpower 2. The game was actually based. Such a shame the devs fumbled the newest title.
>>2472425Yes, Paradox is Swedish Bethesda. Their games are only useful as mod platforms because more competent developers sadly don't usually make their games heavily moddable anymore.
>>24724282/4, BYC got annihilated by a infohazard which also took down all the revivals and fan projects
>>2472430I didn't say it, you hallucinated it. You're retarded. You conflated division and vehicle design with the actual combat, it's not my fault you're not intelligent enough to understand those aren't the same thing.
I have yet to find a reason to spend any IC building dockyards when you could instead build MILs to build more NAVs to just sink everything from the air.
>game does not support multi core CPUsWhat is this, the late 90s?
>>2472439>land you need to take is an island outside of your plane rangeWhat now?

>>2472443Patriots are in control and the National Guard is on its way.- Q
>"bro who needs division designer, you have to play excel spreadsheet with production lines inside of a visual novel"
>>2472445I disagree with him on the division designer because organization of combat units has a material impact on combat IRL (though the way the game is balanced means doing what is historical is mutually exclusive with what is optimal), but he's right on the vehicle designs. Shit like the minutiae of tank components is not relevant whatsoever at a grand strategy level, it's in the game to pander to War Thunder vehicle autists who primarily play games to interact with their favorite combat vehicles.
>>2472449If anything it hurts historical accuracy/realism because you have to spend mana to develop various variants as well as spend MIC to build them, when the entire point of variants in real life is that ad hoc modifications would avoid stressing R&D and production lines.It does the opposite of what it should do.
>>2472449The vehicle designer is good. The problem with it is that due to general game balance and army xp requirements you can't really utilize it in a better way. In isolation the feature works perfectly fine.There is however little reason to have production lines with different variants of the same equipment or equipment type. You would fix half of these issues if a single tank design didn't cost as much as a complete division template. Army xp is fine as a resource but utilized in a bunch of retarded ways.
>>2472450>If anything it hurts historical accuracy/realism because you have to spend mana to develop various variants as well as spend MIC to build themSeriously, what the fuck is it with Paradox and mana? It's so absurdly stupid how you can either add a support company to your tank division or add extra components to your tanks. Whoever it is that keeps adding mana to Paradox games should be shot. Not even fired at this point. Just straight up executed.
The mana that's hard to replenish and it's best spent on doctrines.
>>2472411This is funny because the mod was only broken like 2 months ago when the polish guy who ditched and leaked MDIB for DIB:IL was vibecoding. The map was originally fucked up because we gave a greek guy 5 bucks to port the map over to Kaisereich so we didn't have a map with June's 500 provinces in Georgia (real). Only the Skinner portrait is real because that was in base DIB. All the homestuck and other stuff is artists joking around.
>>2472471Army xp is a leftover from when the game released. Over time new features were added and it got new applications. The biggest issue is how Paradox has to manage different game versions at the same time due to all the DLCs.In my opinion army xp is fine for things like doctrine and army spirit. However it is pointless in division design let alone equipment design. If they want to give it an additional use make it so granting unit medals is tied to army xp instead of political power or it could give buffs to special project research speed.
>>2472490With division designer it is doubly retarded because there is already a system in place to punish changing divisions too frequently, the divisions in question lose veterancy when they switch to a new division design.
I can't get Schizo Prysner to appear anymore the last patch must have changed something. Or did they remove it entirely?
I just figured out why the Soviet AI was so retarded. Even right until the 2EW is about to begin it has never clicked any decision to actually deal with the economic integration and army integration modifiers.Why is the Russian AI so fucking retarded? I heard it used to be almost unbeatable. How fucking bad are these people?
>>2472535The Soviet expansion was a mess.
>>2472543The content absolutely needs polish.>>2472535>How fucking bad are these people?To clarify I was not ranting about the devs but the people who claimed Russia was op.
>>2472546Russia was op on release. United Russia and LDPR can still win. The Soviets are hopeless though.
>>2472481tell that to the vk-tard ruzzianss
All the last patch really did was tinker with the unit stats but somehow that was enough to cause Dugin to stop being unstoppable (for the Euro AI anyway) and start losing. I'm not sure why exactly, other than I'm guessing the patch didn't actually change what the AI's templates are and something about them just no longer works even with all of Eurasia's buffs.
>>2472647You mentally ill cunt no one cares fuck off back to /pol/. They're talking about a multiplayer stream you fucking brain rotted retard. This is why everyone hates you people.
Everyone in this thread was acting like some zoomer nigger from Russia winning over a delusional Austrian boomer was a great show of force from Russia back when the streams were going on. Stop trying to pretend you all weren't leaking your clities over the larp fantasy and now crying about "muh pol"
>>2472657Uh, no. We liked it because it was funny when Otto sperged out over losing. Stop being such a miserable bore.
>>2472657It was funny because NAFO types would've done the exact same thing if Gunther's team won.
>>2472391The TNO AI slopper still makes the best pro-TFR propaganda ever holy shit.

None of you are free off sin, be it NAFOcucks or Ziggercucks, and both of you should fuck off to /pol/
Modern day mods really were a mistake.I miss the Kaiserboos vs Syndies and Lunarists vs Solarists. Those were actually in good fun. It is hard to be a differentiated man in modern world.
>>2472767Kaiserboo mods that ripped off KR were literally the most common type of HOI4 mod before TNO. I still remember when "What if X country won World War 1" was most common modding trope.
There needs to be an althist mod where the Germans lost WW1
>>2472790Führerreich?
>>2472790Anon, do I have some news for you
>>2472772Honestly wouldn't mind a return to that now that TNO's trend has completely died off and TFR has firmly signaled that we're returning to the way things used to be while KR itself remains a behemoth.
Maybe if we wait a few more years we'll get althist mods featuring "what if [faction] won the RL 2ACW?"
>>2472800>TNO's trend has completely died offTFR is just pre-nudev TNO 2.0. The trend is not dead. Also most modern mods have a TNO-esque schizo paths, superevents, and a country that has been broken up into multiple warlord states. Even KR tried copying TNO by putting greater emphasis on mini games and country leaders having a story.If a new mod came out that was just a kaiserboo simulator where you get a bunch of war goals and broken modifiers everyone would call it shit. That era of modding is dead and it's never coming back.
>>2472806>That era of modding is dead and it's never coming back.I miss old Millenium Dawn. You just elect some modern Hitler or Stalin and go to war with random countries.
>>2472806Most of that's completely divorced from what TNO currently is and what they were trying to push onto the community ever since the mod was hijacked. I'll be more specific for you: the trends of thinking that everything had to be Guangdong and all the other worthless GUI slop TNO devolved into. Moving away from wars and gameplay and putting bloated minigames front and center and just do anything BUT have HOI4 content.TFR learned the right lessons from TNO and has now completely surpassed it in just a few years in terms of popularity and has completely replaced it as a part of the zeitgeist and firmly proven to anyone with eyes that something can be fun without bloat, that you don't need everything to be a custom interface, that mechanics for a tag can just be there to complement conflict. TFR and other mods should be thanked for stamping out the worst influences of TNO and making the mod an irrelevant has-been that's mostly just a punchline these days. But they were also smart to actually pick up what people actually enjoyed from the mod and earned it a fanbase in the first place. Just because the mod eventually became a cautionary tale doesn't mean that there aren't positive lessons to be learned from it. It's just a shame that the people that hijacked the mod only remove these while doubling down on their own failures.
WE ARE BACK
>>2472808You know it could be really fun to just have a sandbox mode for major mods.

I was really hoping it would be good. I had to check to make sure I wasn't just playing the demo again. Played APLA. I think half the skeleton content in other parts of the world are completely broken or unimplemented. Shit just happens and breaks. I think some stuff that did work in the demo is now broken. Wait for a patch or five.
>>2472819>>2472850>misses the pointlike Red Goy has any point other than perma reworking their lore and game just to fuck with JD devs because they have an autistic hate boner for them
>>2473053why would red flood changing their lore even matter I though JD said they were "technically" their own setting and wouldn't follow Red Flood lore years ago?
>>2473054when the mod was just releasing its first demo the team tried to follow og rf lore for their setting, and its a known fact between modding circles that the rf team did change things in some updates just to "fuck over" with them
>>2473056Yeah but how is that influencing development 3 years later and after they stopped basing lore on Red Flood.
New TFR mod dropped
>>2473077>dsa submoddid reddit make this?

>>2473189>muh realism JSID
>>2472832Can you tell the tfr mods to unban me
>>2473191It is an avantgarde mod showcasing collection of lesser known irl schizos. There is no point if you don't research them well, baka.
Also realism was never an issue. Leaders should be researched properly and use their irl ambitions and ideas, because they were often crazier than what people can imagine.'Realism' is only bad if you are pushing the modern perceptions of politics on these leaders or make up le funny stuff without research.
>>2472506It was a mistake in the portrait coding, that was an ancient generico left in the game files. It's like how there's an ATW general also in the APLA but she was originally a woman.

>>2473384might be scourge of prometheus you're thinking of
>Kaiserreich has existed for 20+ years >most popular parts of it remain the US Civil War and the Mad Baron or Mongolia Tbh it feels like this makes the mod a failure on some level if other parts of the world aren't as well regarded

Russia, China, TI, Ottoblob, Blessed Karl, SandFrance, Canada have plenty of fans and memes
>>2473479You'll always be in the shadow of the accomplishments of better people, nudev.
>>2473485You really are a normalfag if accusing people of being devs is only thing you can say.All of these nations were popular from the beginning. Russia, Syndies, Blessed Karl. And let's not even start about the WACHT AM RHEIN and how many Kaiserboo vs Syndies debates we had.You will never an oldfag, amd you will never experience KR nation roleplay.
>>2473490t. The guy that renamed the ACW countries because the "jokes were old" and turned Huey Long into a NatPop.
>>2473505Projecting like that really just outs you more as a newfag and normalfag in one. Albeit,I always prefered the MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY, rather than EVERY MAN A KING. Pelly is simply based
>>2473479>nuh-uh my unstated contrarian position makes me better than you (You)
>>2473518Now you're just overcompensating after being outed, silly. Soon you'll tell us that you still regard Darkest Hour KR as the only true version of the mod.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGqvnkzGV5YGunther is running for President of Austria. We may yet live to witness the restoration of the Empire.
>>2473542Gunther is a more intense version of the same schizophrenia gripping the rest of Europe, where he can in one sentence condemn the Americans and in the very next proclaim undying support for NATO. It's a level of ideological schizophrenia that rivals Russians who both wish the USSR would come back but also support Putin.
>>2473328maybe tota but they are moving to a more specific aesthetic I don't remember the name of, something something Metro
>>2473578Painful.

>>2473540>more projections despite that I mentioned all the popular nations that spawned quite a few memes I will accept your concession, newfren
>>2473771I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about or trying to prove at this point.
TFR Devs can you unban me from your discord pls
>>2473792You deserved to be banned for being a liberal.
>>2473796I am not a liberal I'm a Caligula supporter
>>2473800Unjustified TFR devs unban this man.
>>2473792Are you the guy who got banned for telling a Russian dev to get killed in Ukraine?
>>2473823Unlikely, that guy can't go a full post without sperging. He was also re-banned the other day for posting gore.
>>2473578playing this mod makes me feel sick

>>2473874If politicians weren't cuckolds we'd be fighting in power armour and mecha right now. Thats the actual thesis statement of TFR and I approve of it.
>>2473882From the previous teaser we have, its during and after the civil war>>2473885Trve...
Oh man, the RF- JD drama is interestingThere's this guy, Indy, one of the very first devs of JDlike, he was dev number 2 (if you count their first founder and first head dev of JD, pythonslaye as 1) Indy is an unironic bipolar schizoid with mommy issues, and because of that he was kicked outIndy tried to doxx the JD after he got kicked, and when he failed he leaked the dev build of JD Indy would later make Twilight Struggle, another KR Cold War (Germany vs Internationale), but he was the same, with a pechant of removing dedicated devs because of petty stuff and arguments, he was on-and-off retiring from developement, switching between coming back and retiring, and then even after his Nth 'definitive' retirement, he wanted git access. He was told no, and leaked Twilight Struggle's dev build
>>2473882It starts during the war with Pence being slaughtered and it has a confirmed post-unification campaign likely on the same scale as Cognoscenti.
Outside of DQRK MQGQ which paths are you the most hyped for?For me it is Green Mountain Company.
>>2473866K I N ODo you think the comic will go long enough to show the Great Asian War or will that be a prologue thing
>>2473901Definitely Mike Ma, boogaloo boys second>>2473905I don't think so unless it becomes a long series, 1.1 would have come out before it reached that
>>2473901NOI BLA and LOS. There is going to be an actual race war in the south.
>>2473901KKK and Teddy's AnPrims.

>>2473901GMC is the one I'm most excited for actually. Outer Heaven will be a good counterbalance to the la li lu le lo.Asides from them, its obviously Mike Ma.

What divisions and air do you guys use when playing countries like America, China or Russia? I struggle too much in pushing when fighting the GAW or Cognoscenti wars so I must be doing something wrong.
>>2474044The main issue for me is industry but purchasing foreign gear helps. I go with one ifv, one apc, one recon tank, one tank. The support is recon heli, engineers, radio, medical and then usually the last one is open for whatever, usually late game, stuff.
>>2474044Euro wars: Depends on the tags and what resources I have but usually a balanced army with either IFVs/APCs at the core with some breakthrough divisions for Europe, Asia gets a bigger naval/marine focus, and in America I usually use National Guards as my early war buildable core and move on to proper IFV divisions later on. Good enough against the AI.
>>2474047Industry isn't as much of a problem I find when it comes to playing as those 3. For others though, yeah it can be troublesome and buying from foreigns is a good replacement.>>2474051Any rough templates for these? I do try to make IFV/APC divs, and that does tend to work well enough for the eurowars but not for the GAW. Also, for naval, I'll admit, I mostly ignore it, so I don't know the system very well. Is spamming subs/destroyers viable? Or do you need to make things like carriers and such?
>>2474044I usually go for IFVs with SPGs. If I have the production I add tanks into my divisions but both Russia and especially China can do it. My combat width is 26-32 for the most part.If you are really on a budget then go for full IFV divisions with some dedicated armor divisions to push. The actual composition of your division depends on what you prefer. Just make sure you have at least 30-35 org with any fighting division. The stats in the division designer are lower than actual unit stats which you see upon inspecting a division.Have some specialized marine units based on AMTRACsThe GAW is more infantry heavy and rubber is more easily available so you can actually go for APCs with MLRS instead if you prefer.Navy only matters in GAW. Yet here I just spam missile cruisers and it is enough for both China and Japan.For air I put all the AA missiles I can on fighters and all the guided bombs I can on CAS.
>>2474044For Russia I tend to use lineholder (4ifv/apc with support AT, artillery, AA, engi and logi) and breakthrough tank divs (I modified starting template to be a little fatter and added mlrs and aaa)I also tried using fatter ifv (8 ifv +4spaa) and adding light tanks to thrm, but later is too industry expensive. Former is useful but I prefer dedicated breakthrough divs for better encirclement and due to importance of capturing cities
>>2474057>>2474062I see, alright, I'll try to keep what you two said in mind. Should be pretty helpful for when I next boot up the mod. Thanks guys.
>>2473825And Ill keep fucking sperging until Ukraine kills the Russian TFR devs. TZD, no exceptions.
>>2474053It variets but usually a 20W-40W, infantry usually becoming smaller. Emphasis on supports. Light tanks are usually a big component given how cheap it is to get a good version out. You can mix and match these general width estimates as you see fit but I'd make sure to get at least some amount of AA into whatever template you do. Good luck!>>2474087Imagine needing a HOI4 mod to make up for your real life being a failure.
>>2473866Kino, the 9/11 release date is real. We will NEVER forget.
tfr devs must disclose how much they're making from their partnership with rockstar to put long hair mike ma in gta 6

how is it that no one has made a TFR submod for this guy? just say he survived and give him an ACW faction

>>2474295Remember to listen in on frequency 45.47.
>>2474255The thing is that Epstein is just middle management for the Cognoscenti, not an actual power broker.
Heisenberg if he had enough resources
Does anyone actually like Equipment Designer in hoi4? All it leads to is minmaxxing or annoyed LARPers that want their "historical" designs.
>>2474317I didn't say Epstein, I said the Cabal. The informal (heavily Israel-loyal) oligarch network that partook in his crap and is now backing Trump in hopes of enacting NeoFeudalism.
>>2473194Some "people" simply cant help but love low effort slop.
>>2474331Personally I enjoy the nothign ever happens experience where I read through a gorillion flavour events while all wars are offloaded to the event GUI.

What is the most recent, stable version of TNO with nations that are actually fun to play without a shitload of boring fanfiction flavor text / mini games? I’m fine with submods too as long as they’re fun.
>>2474411Just play Rises Again or Requiem. They're fan forks.
Red Flood Breton teaser
>>2474411There's a post in /tno/ explaining both current fan forks here: >>2457140But essentially Rises Again of you like Panzerite TNO and Requiem if you like post-Panzer TNO but don't like the post-nudev coup nonsense. You're recommended to stay far away from the "official" mod because it has been hijacked and is in the process of removing all content and replacing it with crappy Campaign Trail content.>>2474484Looks pretty kino.

Can someone who isn't banned from their server get me all the teasers of extremis ultimis since release?

>>2474584Adolph Hitlerist empiricism (my ideology)
>>2474567Pls pls pls pls I need it rn
>>2474576>this janny said he is going homeless just like this random nigger on twitter, so they must be the same personamazing deduction skills
>>2474576What the fuck is wrong with you?>File nameAh, it's one of the Czarists trying to stir shit again.
>>2474584Empathetic Thanatism.Unlike most current forms of anaarchism, Empathetic Thanatism doesn't seek the dismantlement of the State as we know it but the replacement of the State, preferably by people (curiously, not themselves) who promote the destruction of culture, customs, laws and way of life on a racial level
>>2474576There's a level of satisfaction in knowing that you'll be eternally seething over the fact that you lost and all you can do is toss rocks
>>2474602Who's that
>>2474576Half the mods you like wouldn’t exist without the trans communist autists. It’s the homosexual libs who turn things into TCT.
>>2474606Lynndie England; gal that tortured a lot of iraqis in the abu ghraib prison
>>2474608these aren't even the same people, i checked the xitter account and there is not a single mention of the mod
>>2474614Why the fuck did that Czarist nigger post that then? Fucking retards. Lost and now they're shitting up the threads every time they break out of containment.
Stop politisperging niggers and get me the teasers of extremis ultimis
>>2474620they have nothing else now, so they resort to attacking a 'cord janny, but tbf they probably thought they were the same personwhat is interesting is that the message isnt on public channels, so someone from inside tfr must have leaked it
>>2474626Idk what's stupidest them believing something an anon could disprove by just looking at the Xitter or them lying about something that could be disproven so easily.
>>2474626Judging by the quality of the screenshot it could be from a stream. Its likely just the same old aloggers that used to hang around czar and co that probably got to talk someone from the inside to stream stuff>t.exdev
>>2474626Looked up the profile on cord. The janny now has a different profile pic and seems to be inactive. Probably an old screenshot.
Send me the fucking extremis ultimis teasers brooooi
>>2474653There are ultimis teasers?
>>2474657Yes but I'm banned
Serious question: Is there a map mod out there that completely changes the look of the map in HOI4? I'm talking about a map that removes that night time glowy look I hate so much about the game, gives it more of a warm look, like maybe eu5, or victoria 2, hoi3, or ck3????I really don't like the look of hoi4's map
>>2474610I could have fixed her.
Do we know anything about BLA content?
>>2474630Why and how are they still around to begin with?>>2474645It looks new-ish to me
>>2474697This was from a few months ago so progress has definetly (trust the plan) been made.>>2466820
>>2474697They have three main paths. New Black Panthers Party (pic related) are separatists with two subpaths, Nation of Islam are a disunifier, and Gazi's Hammers who are a national unifier.
>>2474697We know that the BLA is quite well along given the teasers and from the leaks the NOI will likely feature yakub references, I don't have that image with all of the leaks though
>>2474701Yeah I think the BLA was surprisingly one of the most developed tags before the leak.
>>2474702By now the remaining content should be mostly concentrated on SoL and LoS
>czarist left the thread after being called outis anyone surprised atp
>>2474576dibGODS would never do this
>>2474769> Daydream in BLACKEDNever do what? Release a mod?I believe it

INFORMATION AGE OF HYSTERIAIT'S CALLING OUT TO IDIOT AMERICA
I just want to play 1.2 already. Imperial Japan, a true Korean liberal democracy, and Juche Korea all sound great. Bonus points if I can nuke the shit out of China as all three cunts.
The loss of the CN devs is an eternal tragedy. The 2CCW is schizokino, there's so many cool factions I wish had content.
>>2475372One day.
>>2475332>Extremist Japan>North and South Korea>Taiwan>Australia1.2 is going to be fire, especially if it includes some 2CCW content.
>>2475394Unlikely given the team disbanding but one can hope.
>>2475372>Falun Gong>Nick Land PRC>Central Processing Unit (Loji)>National Salvation Front>National Collective Movement>Righteous Way Movement>Church of The Almighty God>Xie Dynasty2CCW content has a ton of potential, hopefully it happens one day.
>>2475400We know the Russian team is at least working on Nick Land content. No clue if National Collective Movement content and normal PRC reunification content is still happening though.
>>2475402Absolutely, great potential there. Both that and a Russian civil war after 2EW would be like playing the only good part of TNO in a better mod.>>2475404This really gives me hope.
>>2475235It's two different teasers from the discord put together
Speaking of japan, we know Japan's meant to be capital but i do wonder what it actually entails
>>2475466Not sure but I'm curious if they'll add a special ending/endgame for all three pillars succeeding in their respective theaters.
>>2475469Pillar on pillar hyperwar LET'S GO!
>>2475496>Three pillars fall into infighting due to being unable to agree which of their approaches to eternal stability is best>Squabbling and petty disagreements end up leading to a threeway global hyperwar where all sides have taken the gloves off>Ends with global civilization collapsing due to unregulated usage of nuclear, biological, chemical, memetic, and esoteric weaponryWell, at least they didn't successfully end history. Hopefully it doesn't take what's left of Humanity more than a thousand years to relearn how to make fire and basic stone tools.
>>2475332Apparently 1.2 won't take nearly as long as 1.1 while Russia alos gets new paths outside of these updates. Nazbols, adventure capitalists and I think one other path are being developed. Pringles also gets an overhaul.
>>2475518Somebody with the git said both Koreas are surprisingly far along in development so I believe it.
>>2475501Ted W.>>2475518Makes sense since it's been developed alongside 1.1 and has a more reasonable scope and wasn't anywhere near as oversized as the US update.>>2475521IIRC he posted proof too.
>>2475394I swear the RU team has an obsession with putting anime and egirls on their focus icons
>>2475542All teams do.
>>2475542Based.
>>2475521Korea will have kino content from what is on the 1.2 build, there are regular normal political paths and the imperial japan collaborator, picrel
>>2475551>Cuck pathKino? They got any other extremist paths besides that, would be cool if those matriarchal cults got referenced.
>>2475554Not sure, while t is impressive they progressed quite a bit on 1.2(especially icon wise), there is not a lot of information on other paths.Most of the stuff I'm saying is a educated guess based on the focus names and gfx.
>>2475551Personally looking forward to the cyberpunk ancap dystopia route (otl ROK).
>>2475561How were Australia and Taiwan looking, decent amount of work done or not much?
>>2475565Australia had focus trees and a few mechanics being worked on, not much I can extract from the current content. As for Taiwan, I wasn't able to find anything different but I know that it is most likely being worked on internally.
>>2475561Show us some more gfx for Korea and Japan
>>2475579Japan doesn't have anything new I can find, and the Korea focus tree is a very big mess
>>2475564Koreans are one of the most powerful races on the planet.Within 70 years they managed to create both the worst communist and capitalist dystopias of our time.
>>2466278Time for the 26th July Total Conversion Numbers Report!BIGGEST WINNER: 'The Fire Rises' with +14,424>The sub bleed for Millenium Dawn, though still small, has increased since last month. Likewise for The Great War.>TFR wins Biggest Gain for the 6th month in a row, with very steady numbers. Congrats for keeping the hype alive despite the lack of updates>Turns out that the CW:IC update has unfortunately not helped much in terms of subscribers.

As always, I will see you again on September 26th!
>>2475601It's always struck me as a bizarre coincidence that they're both caricatures of each other.>>2475603Thank you for making these.
>>2475603>TNO barely outpacing one of the reduxes Looks like the Germany update for KX did a lot of good for them though.
>>2475614>Looks like the Germany update for KX did a lot of good for them though.Honestly, they've gained about as much as they usually do. Not their biggest gain either, though it's the biggest one in a while
>>2475618That's what I meant. I just feel glad for them. It's nice seeing underdog forks do well.
>>2475603ISP made a video about Novum Vexillum, so it got a boost due to people trying it out. No clue about what got it that much hype tho.
Unforseen Consequences will update very soon
>>2475603>>Turns out that the CW:IC update has unfortunately not helped much in terms of subscribers. They are no longer losing, but there was no second boost as expectedCertain US foreign policy decisions being related to focuses instead of just being decisions you get during events is pretty shit in the mod. The mod trying to do the whole cold war instead of just the 50's is also some insane scope creep, and as usual updating to the tank designer ruins the flavor of vehicles in the mod.
>>2475603Did TNO update? That's a lot of subs
>Want to buff a country>All the modifiers are retarded shit like lower supply consumption, attack buffs and division recovery rate>No option to boost factory output, manpower and construction speed which would actually make the higher difficulty more funOutside of 2 production modifiers there is nothing that leads to a buffed country actually having more divisions.>Dockyard outputLiterally doesn't matter in Europe but why is factory output not an option? Russia post 1EW never has enough divisions to be an actual threat. Yet when I play Russia, NATO unironically has around 800 divisions without buffing anything, which is good btw.
>>2475635Looking forward to it!>>2475641The mod hasn't updated in ages. They're doing the most overscoped update in the history of HOI4 too so it's not updating any time soon. Best guess I can make is that someone did a video about Tabby or something and got some people to nostalgiasub without realizing what's happened to the mod over the past few years.
>>2475646I wish that the Soviets would just shit out millions of militia divisions if you went to war with them.
>>2475648India literally gets 100 event divisions when the GAW triggers. The Soviets are a pushover for other reasons but mainly because they can't deal with the negative modifiers and national spirits that are supposed to be a player challenge.
>>2475648They really need to buff them, I feel like every other Russia path is decently strong yet the USSR is as strong as wet cardboard for some reason.
>>2475637>The mod trying to do the whole cold war instead of just the 50's is also some insane scope creep, and as usual updating to the tank designer ruins the flavor of vehicles in the mod.I've been saying that for years. It was a crazy stupid decision, and the worst part is that they've pretty much dug themselves into a hole because of it, as trying to fix that mess would mean throwing all the time and energy that already went into the non 50s scenarios into the trash.
>>2475652They've been really shitty ever since the Soviet update sadly. When I checked them they had two division types (one garrison and one generic mechanized) and didn't seem to interact with the systems well at all in 2EW. United Russia and LDPR, or the other hand, can actually win. Makes playing as PoS feel pretty pointless because it's a cakewalk and a lot of the focuses just don't make sense in the context of the Soviets folding like a cheap suit. Which shouldn't happen if the AI could actually deploy armies with the resources it clearly SHOULD have.
>>2475655Last run I played against them and they didn't actually do any of the decisions that get rid of their negative modifiers and national spirits.Because of this they had literally no production and couldn't construct anything either. Manpower was completely fucked as well and division stats took a 50% hit. I had to remove these via editing the save game and gave the Soviets 100 extra divisions via the console and they still folded.
>>2475661You can remove ideas manually I think via the console. Guess I'll have to do that next time. But yes just glancing at the tag because I was shocked at how badly they were doing it did seem like they didn't interact with the decisions... But they also had no PP, so maybe they were in some kind of death spiral from ignoring fixing all the other problems.
>>2475653If someone wants to do a cold war mod they need to pick one era to do it in, and imo that should be either Vietnam War era or 80's. Korea War could be fun but it has too much overlap with Vanilla Hoi4 games. Vietnam has the problem of insurgencies just not being as interesting to play in hoi4's style of war game (insurgencies can be interesting in wargames but hoi4 isn't one of them) so just going hard into an 80's "Cold War Goes Hot" game is probably the best bet. Letting players smash Abrams into T-72s in the Fulda Gap while ancillary campaigns occur has the potential to be fun.
>>2475332I want 1.3, but it's not coming before 2028 realistically
>>2475670Basically World in Conflict. That's it.
>>2475670It could start with the Vietnam war still active. The US and Soviet Union are the main playable countries but other countries like Germany, GDR and China also have content.You militarize even more and fight proxy wars all over the world until the escalation in the early 80s.A nuclear escalation mechanic could also be quite peak. Depending on the decisions different countries make, WW3 would have anything from no nukes to complete annihilation.
wanna try out KX's new Germany, which path is the most fun?
>>2475637Also a lot of content is just broken, Thailand is barely playable by late 50s. If they don't do a decent update after this one they're gonna be supplanted by the other cold war mod
>>2475672Yeah but we've seen parts of it release already. Italy had a slight glow-up and parts of the map like Scandinavia had state updates according to an anon a while back. That could just be for post-Catharsis however or just them fixing map errors from 1.0 to be fair.
>>2475681>Also a lot of content is just broken, Thailand is barely playable by late 50s.Even the Korean War right at the start of the mod is fucked. You frequently get the Inchon landing event even if South Korea hasn't lost Inchon, and Communist China decides to intervene even if the Chinese Civil War is still ongoing or if they lost it already. I like the devs adding unique division icons for certain divisions however, that is cute. >>2475676Bannon...

>>2475788>Why There's almost 1.5 billion of them, you're gonna encounter a lot of any kind of people from those numbers Further reasons are just because nerd hobbies are infested with people with autism/ADHD, and those brain problems are often comorbid with every variety of gayness. Given China's male/female demographic issues and just the general problem of male loneliness in modern countries it might also be a kind of prison gayness.

>>2475788Gay media portrayals that are perceived by the Party as "promoting" homosexuality are banned in China. Since Western media can be as gay as it wants, it naturally attracts Chinese gays, which then leads them to be more tuned-in to Western media than straight Chinese, which means a disproportionate number of Chinese fans of any Western media will be gay.

>>2476329I just want LoS content. I'm so fed up with everything. I need catharsis through KKK liberating America.
>>2476273It wasn't.Worst part is that the biggest counter movement is a bunch of retarded spiritual boomers who want to return to the 60s which were by all means modern already.Recently I saw a video on how people acted in the Middle Ages. It was fascninating and horrifying to find out just how much of our collective soul has been lost.People would express emotions more freely and openly. Crying in public was common and that average person from today would be seen as mentally ill for not showing enough emotion.There are accounts of sermons where the preacher and listeners all cried so much because the sermon was so overwhelming they literally could not continue.Today a bunch of spiritual and literal niggers say a man should never show emotion or else he will not get a relationship. A man from 1000 years ago would cry in front of a woman he loved, spend hours on writing poems that expressed his love for her and would make it known every day how much love he felt for her. The PUA niggers and similar people would tell you this behaviour gets no bitches. Yet in reality the man they would call simp, ended up marrying the woman he simped for and had 10 children with her.There is another story where a king took over a city and took the men prisoner while allowing the women to leave with whatever they could carry. All the women of the city went and carried their husbands and other men they cared about. The king actually honored this move and allowed the women to leave with their men.Every time people tell you how much better everything is today because of technology, remember that are collectively soul has almost been killed for good and genuinely evil people try their best to destroy it for good.Most don't realize just how much we were robbed. They will strawman and act as if me saying we should have more soul and spirituality in our lives means that I want to abandon sanitation and medical advances since the 1400s. Path for this feel?

>>2473994Militias get disbanded after reunificationSo even by TFR standards she would not be fighting.
TFR needs to balance some of the grimdark with some wholesome.If the AWD is the moat challenging tag to achieve the most dark hellscape grim path in TFR.ThenA Ron Paul path should be the most challenging tag yet most wholesome and rewarding path that actually leaves the world in a better spot than the games start.Though only trouble is where he would fit as I dont think he would be in UOA or USC. Would he actually fit in with the Sons of Liberty?
>>2474248Idk that invites too much trouble and outside attention. The fact the Canadian Government is already treating TFR as a threat means it should take it a bit easy. Maybe some indirect refrences to him in a >if you know, you knowSort of way.But too blatant and you risk a shitstorm from those who want to see the mod die.
>>2474364>not listening to Poker face- fight for your rightsLiterally THE quintessential 2ACW song
>>2475759Thats just the event for when the cognoscenti fires the language virus at Lojis China.
>>2475782Really? The ones I interact with are chainsmoking unfiltered lockeroom 2000s dude bros, with aussie levels of banter.I love em for that. You can talk absolute shit to each other no holds barred cause neither side takes it personal no matter how vulgar you are (because taking shit personally and getting involved in drama takes away their leisure time so its very fucking stupid to give a shit about that stuff in their eyes) Very blunt dudes. If you ever need someone's second opinion. Like legit second opinion. Not a toxic positive or yes man or fence sitter. You get a mainlander friend. They will tell you to your face you are acting like a faggot or thats a retarded take.It might be regional thing since most i know are from Central China and South East near HK but they will say Beijingers and Manchurians are very faggity and effeminate. Could be their proximity to SK and Japans faggotry.
>>2476995He's too old. Just make someone in SoL a diehard Ron Paul acolyte and add a scene where Rand finds "home" there after the fall of the ACG. This probably won't require much effort since a lot of them likely already are RP supporters.Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan living on through a SoL victory not as leaders, but as hopeful political parents watching their adoptive son create a better, freer America would be very kino and would be a nice wholesome right wing ending.
>>2476995>the most dark hellscape grim path in TFRMay be true for Satanic AWD but both Siege and Christian AWD are infinitely better than Schwab EU.
>>2475749You know one thing I noticed about cogno and new dark maga events?US is allowed to hit countries but they aren’t allowed to fight backIn 2ew both europe and russia can nuke each other. India and pakistan can get the other absolutely wasted, India and China can trade massed barrages in GAW. I guess revanchist china can carpet nuke Japan japs but don’t have nukes. Russia and China have first and third largest arsenal respectivelyIf cogno at least has the excuse of climate weapons and NLP being hard to tie to them and being a bit of an OCP (even though Loji, at the very least, knows who is responsible), dark maga doesn’t. They get to nuke china but china just sends hatemail instead of an ICBM barrage
>>2477046That's probably because the content for the other countries was made before the idea of a global conflict for world domination was a thing in TFR. Expect it to gradually change with time. Either that or it could just be a gameplay compromise. In which case I get it since it beats the way shit like TNO does it but there has to be a better way.
>>2477039True I'd rather be dead than "live" there.
>>2477046>>2477048I usually don't actually like finishing off the second euro war or gaw partly because of the lack of content afterwards and partly because the game is basically finished then, the threat of nuclear weapons would be a good way to justify this playstyle in game for those like me who prefer to just keep fighting out of roleplay reasons. Have the second Euro war be some never ending terminator style hellscape ranging all across Europe but stalemated enough as to not warrant starting Armageddon to end it all, tactical nukes used but not strategic. Have America's entry into the war stop the Chinese from nuking Japan despite the abhorrent amount of increasingly intelligent drone swarms everywhere in Asia. Perhaps have Japan research their own nukes in response to getting nuked once or twice by the Chinese, biological warfare even like they planned at the end of ww2. I definitely think India/Pakistan, Israel/MiddleEast, North/South Korea should all get nuked though, that is just such a cool setup for how fucked the world is in this timeline. I remember a discussion about natural disasters, famines and pollution being brought up in this thread and that would also be very cool to see. Water shortages because of super weapons and ai.
>>2477074For me it's the opposite. Getting to 2EW / whatever can be a slot if you want a specific route because of the rng and being dependent on the whims of the game's AI. Agreed though late game is lacking and needs improvement.
>>2477039But they nuke the world at the end of their playthrough.Catharsis has a better chance at overthrowing Schwab in a post apocalyptic hellscape that only encompasses Europe; over humanity surviving a nuclear war/winter and the post apocalyptic hellscape that encompasses the entire planet.
>>2477095Being nuked is unironically better and the chances for a brighter future are much higher.
>>2477074>>2477046Nukes in 2EW are bugged. You'll have a focus giving you nuke tech or activating them or w/e but even after meeting the requirements the decisions will still be locked. Hence why the AI never nukes each other in those wars. Ive been locked out of it as Red France, Fash France, UR Russia onlu Navalny Russia actually has working nukes in my experience but that was like before Schwab World Gov was even added in TFR. So far Only the GAW AI and Pakistan/India does nukes. Hell even Israel 90% of the time doesn't use the Sampson option. They just capitulate to the Arabs. Going forward I think the TNO Requime 2WRW mechanic of having to go slow and steady with your advances and watch which cores you take or else you terrify the enemy into unleashing MAD, is a mechanic they should copy.China has a no first strike policy. So you can actually keep it conventional. So will they. Maybe the cognitive virus can give you a short window to unleash the DARPA doomsday weapons like HAARP as they will be unable to follow any complex procedures to launch their arsenals till they find a cure. NK on the otherhand..yeah. but that can be rectified by having a chain of decisions or focuses to upgrade missle defense to shoot down their anachronistic delivery systems.Russia is the biggest hurdle to balance. Because if you so much as enter the city limits of Moscow you are damn sure they will launch their entire arsenal. Especially if the US is involved. You can make the excuse that Russia doesnt want to inherit a completley irradiated Europe of ruins. And will abstain from launching their nukes and that Europe knows that using nukes is useless for the handful of nukes they have is not enough to subdue the massive country and that Russia has enough nukes to cover every sq inch of Europe.But the US joining is a potential world ender.For as Putin has said himself>Why do we need a world if there is no Russia in it?So the goal is to exhaust not overwhelm.
>>2477103TFR has to rewrite the AWD ending then cause it says we go extinct in 10 years time post nuking.If Catharsis loses and China loses then yeah I guess theres no stopping the hellscape but still those are two wars with better chances at stopping Schwab than guaranteed extinction via AWD nuking.
>>2477126Countries not using nukes as much as they should realistically is an acceptable break from reality. No one would like it if every 2ew ended in worldwide MADWhat I am complaining about is how US gets to ignore the rules. They get to deploy WMDs to their hearts content, invade the entire world while no one cares and suffer no retaliation. In dark maga art they go full fallout on China while suffering zero consequences
>>2477126Another thing Requiem does that's interesting is what happens when regimes that just don't care about the apocalypse goes to war. Omsk is implied to treat any nuclear apocalypse whether they destroy Berlin or not as a timeout before the final round of a much greater war so the usual MAD no longer works.
>AWD nukes the world>a screen appears, saying how the people about to be nuked plant false information for the future so that the nuking happened after cataclyismic wars against China and in Europe and not because a few hurpa durpas with guns took over a few silos>the screen ends with the phrase "War. War never changes.">the Old World Blues map loads
>>2477182If they did this for an April 1 update it'd be pretty hilarious.
>>2477135Yeah I agree. As I said the Requiem mechanic is a good way to fix that issue in a quick easy way for America. Or reuse the war escalation mechanic from the 1st and 2nd EW. Using WMDs and Doomsday devices quickly increases it to V and unlocks decisions for Russia and China to return tit for tat.That way the devs dont have to edit or add anything new for the existing tags for Russia n China to take into account fighting the US as its not like anyone playing those countries will ever encounter an AI cognitoscenti which is why theres no unique puppets or releasables if they somehow crossed the ocean and capped the US.If pushing them to V doesnt end the game in TNO style MAD by crossing the threshold to Escalation V. At least have the major cities nuked in the same style that India nukes a bunch of Chinese cities and wrecks its factories and production (though China absolutely tanks that shit cause it gives no fucks about those debuffs thanks to their insane spirits and resources.)OrMaybe have an event where reaching V and having the AI use a tatical nuke on a PDTO fleet as a result of US using heinous shit leads to the Judas failstate where the Nation collapses as people wake up to the Cognitoscenti.
>>2477182Im glad im not the only one who boots up OWB immediately after a mod has a nuclear end screen.
>>2477149Wait so if the AI actually shrimp boats each other you can still have Yazov in his bunker pacing back n forth in anticipation and The Tueton popping up in the map along with the other post war warlords? Is it a matter of finishing the National Redoubt?I know there's a failstate where if you use the nukes willy nilly as Omsk, Germanys missle gap completely glasses Russia and you get the Great Mistrial.
>>2477211If Yazov takes Germania they blow up the entire city with nuclear bombs. After that you get kicked to a post-apocalyptic map where you have Omsk, Germany and several irradiated warlords between them. They were meant to add a post-apocalyptic campaign but that was put on hold because a nudev (they splintered off because they didn't get to use TNO's Antarctica mad) doxed one of Requiem's coders and the guy designing it decided to work on TFR instead due to the drama. You were supposed to be able to reconquer the world though because you prepped for the apocalypse while they didn't. The dev likened it to you being a Russian ultranationalist Enclave. Sadly the content is incomplete but hopefully it'll be finished eventually now that there's less drama surrounding Requiem.There's also a thing in the game files where if you get the Great Mistrial and wait a bit Yazov's corpse gets replaced by a successor that instantly starts to prepare for a second Great Trial. Even if Germany wins, there are Omsk remnants out in Siberia and the implication is that they'll have the tenacity of Hamas but with the resources of a corner in Siberia.Back to the original point: Extremist factions in TFR also ignoring MAD and just continuing would be kino. Revanchist China, AWD losing to the other National Alliance members and a few others come to mind as fanatics that could definitely stick it out even after the apocalypse for a special campaign.
>>2477128The 10 year line is supposed to represent the duration of nuclear winter. The long term casualties of that being 5 billion. So 3 billion people still survive.
>>2477240Oooh. Honestly given the mood and last sentences I thought it was like we will finally be free from the pain of existence and embrace death and silence.I didn't realize it was literally AWD talking to themselves that In 10 years they can leave the bunkers.
>>2477254... And when they do, Schwab & co are all dead!
when 1.1 comes out the first faction I'm playing is the League of the South, and when I do I'll turn off the in-game music and play this insteadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8PO16yrsNk
>>2477263Idk. Schwab and co have secret bases in Antartica. If the Bog ending is taken srsly
>>2476363Yeah they were more emotional man they were day drinking all day because the water was bad.
>>2476329>There is still a lot to do on 1.1lol but anons here having been telling me the leaks shows it’s just 2 weeks away!!!
This has got to be my absolute favorite MIO in the game for just how useful and weird it is.>it's an air-force/infantry split MIO from Czechoslovakia>can give up to 10% more speed to infantry equipment>20% more air attack to planes, along with agility and the same speed bonus>best of all, you can put the MIO on Mothership Aircraft, and it's the most useful MIO for Mothership aircrafts, an already busted special project planeFarming funds is also very easy since it's an infantry MIO. Put 150 factories on infantry equipment 1 and you'll quickly get it to its maximum effectiveness. Also the icon looks good on top.
>>2477284>can give up to 10% more speed to infantry equipmentI think this applies to horses as well since they're now 7km/h in my game when they're usually 6.4 km/h.
Playing Trump, is this a bug, or is it just that the War Support is a requirement for after one of the other requirements is met? I'm really confident in reading it as the former, myself. Or is it something else?I haven't finished reconstruction, if that's relevant.
Why can I only use recon planes in a carrier whenever I'm moving to a location or travelling back home to a naval base, but NOT when I'm patrolling the 7 seas? Paradox...
>>2477206I believe proper content for fighting NWO will come later. It’s also a bit early to judge Dark MAGA since it’s yet to come outI think a good stopgap measure would be decision to nuke them back and a peace deal for resisting/winning against them. Like Russia annexing Alaska or Chinese empire establishing purification zones. But now my least favourite thing about cognoscenti is that you are fighting an unresponsive world. Which is the main problem in WC paths that don’t wrap the entire narrative around themselves
>>2477286I think its actually two optional requirements>Be at warOr>Its 2032 and you have the necessary war support and the world is at high tensionMy guess is its supposed to be a reaction to the 2EW and GAW that makes America be like ok time to dig in and find another big stickSince I always got the impression that TFR ends with a set up for a 2 or three sided cold war. Baring you get pretty lucky with the AI to go all Red World or have NATO&PDTO win as usually what happens on one continent (Patriot Front Winning) the opposite happens on the other.(USSR victory in both wars)
>>2476997Canadian government can go suck a dick, and TFR's detractors are in no position to stop the mod. That being said, I recognise it would probably be too outlandish for base TFR, which is why I said submod. Someone outside the team making it is actually preferable, the team should focus on what they're doing so that they can release something before they hit a year without an update.
>>2477274Historylet spotted. The alcoholic beverages that people drank back then as a substitute for water had like 1% alcohol in it.It was nearly impossible to get drunk on that.
The ice carrier is so excessive. It's only there in order to lure in minmaxxing autists like myself into playing well into the 1950's or even beyond.
>>2477435Most of the special projects take way too long to actually get.
>>2477440And do way too little for the wait.
>>2477435Good thing theres a mod that goes into the 50s. A simple road even
https://youtu.be/m2WAH1HPUsQI can't wait to play KKK in 1.1
>>2477455The hour-ticks in RT56 are like half as slow as the base-game for me though even with the recent improvements... I also don't like some changes to focus trees as well like Romania's focus tree which is now massive and long when it was literally perfect before, or Germany's "Von Neurath" and "Economic Growth" paths which feel gimicky now in R56 that they're using the democratic diplomacy options instead of standard Germany tree.I like how transport planes can have massive range in R56 though, it makes paradrops even better when it's possible to capitulate Portugal from the safety of the Rhineland.
>>2477275>it’s just 2 weeks away!!!
>Russian AI gets bogged down in Azerbaijan again
>>2477483not even bogged down they just stand there and don't attack
>>2477484This could be solved if the devs just add a single supply hub to the region.
>>2477455RT56 doesn't actually give you content up to 1956 though, does it? Just a bunch of focuses to some countries and a whole bunch of tech. It's not that different from playing vanilla; you're already done with your campaign by 1942 and have fuck all to do past that.

I sure do love playing as an axis minor and having to deal with the 50 division joint Indonesian/Brazilian expeditionary force landing in France every month after 1943
>>2477821This is also a problem in KR, like why is Paraguay and Haiti sending their entire army to fight me.
New poll in the TFR ‘cordDarkmaga post-war content must be near completion if theyre asking this
>>2477858"The only winning move is not to play" is loser speak, trust Trump's plan.
minor pet peeve, but it's very disappointing that AI ATW doesn't have the option of using nukes or other WMDs during the ACW. would add so much flavor and urgency when playing as the other factions to see like your major cities getting nuked
>>2477858TNO devs in fucking shambles rn.
>>2477864Does AI ATW not use their firebombing or gas attack decisions?
>>2477555manic sweaty sex with kate
>>2477858It will release on 9/11. Trust the plan.

DARK MAGA should feature a Milo Yiannopoulos deportation event.
>>2478030Nah. Multi choice execution for that disgusting illegal alien.
Will Japan have mechs?
>>2478040They better.
>>2478040Nationalist or Capital Nippon should.
>>2478046Bro fucking gundamsn for dark maga what the fuck I hope also other paths will get this type of content

Enclave for MagaOccultism for CognoRobots for ChinaMechs for Japan
>>2478119Who?
>>2478138Green Mountain Company, the PMC group in Sons of Liberty.
>>2478137Russia should get biotech through PutinHe expressed interest in radical life extension. Putin doubles has been a conspiracy for decades. Shoigu talked about cloning Scythian warriors. One of the first fan-made superevent videos featured Putin as a vampire. It lets tfr team do a Putin path without stepping on Medvedev’s toes or copying irl, which would invite cancerous discussionLast Banquet is coming
>>2478160They could go with an FEV/Space Marine type of thing where it effects their physical state in eugenicist sort of way, scientifically creating Ivan Dragos to fill up the Army.
Does anyone know if TFR did any booster teasers? Been a few weeks ever since the last one
>>2478175Nah, if anything that should be reserved for Nick Land.Revived Scythian warriors in ifv chariotsAlso other superweapons. Underwater Tsar bombas to trigger San Anreas fault line. Poseidon torpedoes taking out Aircraft carrier groups. Burevestnik spam. Novichok assasinations
Which APLA faction is the most realistic to end up in charge? I would say the DSA given America's political dispositions, but the DSA would also be the least likely to actually lead an armed revolt to begin with, so I'm leaning more towards the PSL, especially since, canonically, they're the ones that start it.

>>2478253>tfw the KX anime mod gets updated>tfw the KR/TNO anime dev got buckbroken by both source mods barely having any fun new content for yearsIt's not fair.
>>2478269Loji is just the designated punching bag for new American unifiers, isn’t she?
>>2478274>>tfw the KR/TNO anime dev got buckbroken by both source mods barely having any fun new content for yearsnah he's in high spirits making a TFR anime mod.>how do you knowin discord
>>2478274The EaW anime mod still hasn't been updated has it?
>>2478269I think it was noticed. It seems like all of the 1.1 tags getting unique post-2ACW content are going to have unique flavor for dealing with Loji. Which makes sense since she's a fan favorite path.
>>2478278he said he doesn't like EAW's new direction so he stopped working on it
>>2478275Really curious to see what ted will do>>2478279True
>>2478277They seemed pretty sad about letting the other communities down by not updating in a while especially with all the negativity aimed at TNO taking a lot of fun out of submodding.>TFR modReleasing alongside 1.1 since they're a TFR US dev. That's far away. At least the teasers they post on the TFR server are cool.
>>2478283>PicCute>That slight titty peakNiiiiiiceeeeeee
>>2478284I'm more impressed with the commitment to make everything fit in with each faction in the mod. That's the kind of autism I can appreciate.
>>2478280What new direction?
>>2478311>I do not play Equestria at War anymore. I don't like the direction the mod development has taken since the release of the Zebrica continent, and I first and foremost make mods for content I enjoy playing or want to interact with. Anyone is free to take the content in this mod and use it to make a continuation if they so wish, so long as they credit this mod in their own mod's description.Thank you to those who have kept up with it throughout the years, but that's that.Up to date with Hearts of Iron 4 version 1.17.* and Equestria at War version “Cats and Dogs” 2.4.2.4
