>>2486178Teasers are akin to stripclubs, very pretty BUT that's as far a taste as you're getting. There was a time where Long and Happy Life had teasers too
>>2486182I remember when TWR released teasers every week.
I’m doing a Kaiserredux Germany run, how can I make my mil industry big enough so I can go all in on mobile warfare? I want 2 24 div armies of 16 motorized + 8 tank divs by the time the 2WK starts
If TFR doesn't drop 1.1 by tomorrow because it's 9/11 (HEIL) I'm going to dox and just pull up on all TFR devs because they're trannies from latinx countries
>>2486119>modern-setting mods were a mistakeI disagree. I think I prefer modern days mods to most historical periods. I'm really hoping SoP is good or TotA makes a comeback because I wish for more lightly futuristic timelines.
Haven't posted all last thread because I got busy. One time I'm not there and people are actually negative about TFR lol. Very funny scrolling through and seeing "Dark Maga Announcement tomorrow!!!" and then looking up and seeing the post date was like 9/4. Keep trusting the plan anons!

>>2486313TFR is unironically as hated as TNO. I used to post alot about TFR in these threads but now i want nothing to do with the mod
TFR is dead. TFRetards cant even post here without being bullied. The vibes have changed.
>>2486501It's sad. It really is. There's actually an exodus of TFR devs right now. 35% of the team is just gone or inactive.You have no idea how bad things are.
TFR devs are retarded latinx niggers. Fuck TFR. Fuck TNO.
TFR is responsible for 3 mass shootings that have killed 7 people, 10 including perpetrators. TFR is killing people.
Troonnoscenti sucks and the dark troonnate will also suck if it even releases GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG

average troonocenti fan:>erm if you get ALL the perfect rng for things to turn out exactly the way you want them to and then play through the content twice it is KINO EPICAPLA niggas:>Yup, time to battleplan 2ACW for the 15th time this weekend. I LOVE Comrade La Riva!

>>2486546I refuse to do that, it's cheating. It is absolutely possible to get so unlucky you fail it before you get 3-4 clues and 100pp saved up to accuse the guy.
>>2486471>"we, the dev team, want you to say nigger instead of gay shit like 'whimsy fellow'">[dev was] engaging in random arguments with black cosplayers while calling him the N word, posting gore of dead black people and lynchings, being insanely transphobic (despite his girlfriend being trans) and frequently calling others the T word and AGP.>other dev tells the doxxing bpd autist it's his own fault that he got "groomed">general accusations of racist political schizophreniaerm, based department? you're gonna want to see thisi could always tell the rf team was cool just through the content and this confirms it
>>2486550You really going to look past the fact their being twofaced based and engage in massive gayops by being "woke" in public and literally being troons who fuck each other?
>>2486427I think Korean submod has some loji copycat but it's a spirit of pakchung hee or something
>>2486535You know that you can set the game rules for something to happen and then force the side you want to win by sending volunteers and then backstabbing and conquering them right?
>>2486581th-that's cheating!!!
>>2486565What's the issue of them having e-sex with each other? As long as they don't keep that public and out of the mod, it's fine by me.Seems you have a weird enfatuation with their penises
>>2486598Anon defending troons, what has my VST turned into
>>2486598It's just kinda cringe.
>>2486471>Vindicated by history awardI hope this will be the end of their shitty mod. Fuck them and everyone who liked Red Poop. These niggas need to be bullied and harassed until they burn everything down.

please stop adding american content for TFR please add content for other countries like the middle east and asia thanks
>>2486675TNO's drama these days is basically always just>An angry dev leaked everything from someone on the team he hates and progress ranges from slow to negativeI'm more surprised by the fact that the mod still limps along when it's clear all the devs clearly hate each other. At some point you have to wonder why they even bother because they're doing it for free and it can't be fun at all in that madhouse.
>>2486693> xhe forgot we all living in amerika
>thread is entirely drama>one of them was made up by anons, due to a made up release date not being real>other snca drama is discussion over nazi troonsJust shut it down.
>>2486758I don't think the Q stuff counts as drama since it's just anons shitposting for fun.
>>2486769I'm talking about all of the "tfr hate" that propped up over the span of a few hours, hell even the AI slopper showed up. I get being disgruntled over the fact that the thread seems to talk about it all of the time but it gets to a point.
>>2486774it's just the same one guy as always, maybe some other who thought it'd be funny to play along. all /vst/ controversy and argument is just one or two guys.
>>2486778Hope some mod updates soon and we get actual discussion.
>>2486778That's just one tard seething and replying to himself. It's hardly actual drama.
>>2486780Even if it updates you would still be shilling 2 year old tfr content. I have come to terms with the fact that this thread is death and there won't be any discussions of anything. It's honestly all your fault so you don't have the right to complain
>>2486787that's what i said.>>2486780yeah, it's been slow on all fronts lately. i've been shopping around, playing mods that don't get mentioned as often on here, and honestly, most of them aren't all that interesting.
>>2486696Your forgetting the occasional thread schizo that shows up and defends the nudevs
>>2486810That's just Kateryna, isn't it? He had another melty in /tno/ today where he defended lifting scenes from Suzerain into a tag he works on for several hours. >>2486527But he picks fights with random anons that effortlessly string him along so often that the novelty of having a dev defend himself in the thread has long since worn off.

Collapsing World: Rise of Radicalism > Red Flood
kill yourself
10 days I've been playing this game, haven't managed to pull off one decent thing, the second I'm at war I get my ass fucked in 2 seconds, I need to accept I'm gonna suck at this game forever
>>2486916whats your army comp, whats your divisions looking like. no one will tell you this but the game punishes you for trying to experiment and not following meta plays
>>2486916Tell us what country you're playing as and what division templates you have and we'll help you out.>>2486926Nah, it's pretty lenient. Just don't go for completely retarded shit and you usually have some leeway at least if he's fighting the AI as a half-decent country.
How the fuck do you win the Taiwan invasion? I'm getting totally stalled out after establishing a beachhead and my air gets whittled down until I have no fighters left. Trying to use elite armor and marines to advance the line with motorized infantry holding the line but they just can't make progress past the coast.
>>2486933You need to be constantly naval invading the coast even if you already have a beachhead. There's always a weak spot somewhere. You need multiple beachheads to split the defenders. Also, yes, you obviously need air control. That shouldn't be very hard, strat bombing can destroy the airfields and you have way more fighters anyway. Remember, the US only gives Japan more ships, not planes, the Japanese AI will never have more than a few hundred planes and they can't really replace losses.
Dark Maga Just two weeks away!!!!
>>2486986Nobody took the Q poster seriously. Funny image though.
>>2486986Gem... Trump will remember your betrayal though.
>>2486780>>2486808Kaiserreich is releasing an Afghanistan rework sometime next week. It's not Austria-Hungary or the Third Internationale, but at least it's not Bhutan, it seems like there's going to be actual stuff to do.
I won't lie, I'm morbidly fascinated by the idea of living in an AI-run commune. Or maybe I'm just a pathetic AI girl gooner, I dunno.
>>2487012Watch them turn it into a China update somehow.
>>2486392I could run both now that I bought a new PC but so far I have been playing only Legionary State in Rise of Radicalusm and creating D'Annunzio utopia, Socialist Poland and Turanist Turkey in Novum Vexilum, Zentrum Dual Monarchy in KRX and Koch Heartlands America in Red World.TFR and TNO suffer from the issue of being too railroaded for me to play them. I prefer more sandbox experience where I can do whatever with timeline. It is just not fun for me.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790483700Has anyone tried this?
>>2486392Well, too late now. Building a computer now is only for the rich.I dodged the bullet by 1 month. I built this PC in August 2025, right before those huge data center contracts were signed that ate up all the parts production and made PC building unaffordable.
>>2486535More like, I love General Secretary John Bellamy Foster and the Warsaw Pact
>>2486535The balancing for the 2ACW has gone fucking whack since the balance update. Biden never wins. Trump always wins *unless* the APLA manages to defeat Cascadia (which is ridiculously buffed for some reason) before Trump attacks them, in which case they seem able to defeat Trump even if he holds the entire rest of the country somehow.
>>2487023Red world sucks because they don’t have any good fascist paths for usa
>>2486979I got my air situation fixed (was splitting up into an ocean I didn't need to control) but even with the continuous invasions around the coast I couldn't develop it into an advancing front.I was only able to capture small zones temporarily but unable to advance even through smaller batches of divisions. I must be doing something wrong but I couldn't tell you what
>>2487058What kind of divisions are you using? I ask only because you really don't need anything special, I don't even use optimized templates anymore, I just use standard triangular mechanized/armored divisions and those work well enough.
>>2487065Some combination of the default 4APC/1MBT/1SPA & 1MRLS armor divisions and the lighter mechanized divisions,, 8 marines divisions, and 6IFV/1SPA infantry divisions I shat out to try to fix this. I don't really have a great understanding of building templates frankly.
>>2487052Are you dumb? You literally have Bernie and his successors, Duke, Klan, or Military Junta in AR and you can revive Spirit of Lindberg as Heartlands.
>>2487076I believe the optimal templates are either like 32 (if you want it to fit nicely into mountains) or 48 (if you want it to fit nicely into cities) and just like vanilla, you're better off with straight tanks/mech and no line artillery. But you don't need to do that, like I said, I just use 9x mbt/mech + 3x spart. If you really want to optimize things, Taiwan uses a pile of light infantry which are very easy to kill. APCs + MLRS are optimal against infantry because they have the highest soft attack, while IFVs + SPART is better against mechanized forces.
>>2487086Gotcha. I feel like maybe I screwed up my overall choices on construction and production as well, I'm relatively new to the game. Should probably have built more civilian factories early before worrying about income etc. I'll have to try a new run
>>2487104China doesnt really need more civs as it has the most on the planet as it is. What you need are power planets and to build infrastructure so you can build mils faster.
>houthis bomb saudi arabian oil pipelines and threaten their oil exports, putting the global economy at risk>oil can't be exported via hormuz or bab al-mandabDid Trump, the Houthis and Iran play TFR? Could this part of DQRK MQGQ's release?
>>2487168Not remotely the same. The oil crash in TFR is cuz Saudi Arabia has a civil war, the Iranians just jump in opportunistically.
I have a larp problem. It feels like Loji should do a WC, but the name of the country doesn't change no matter how much territory you take, implying it should only extend over Asia. How much do I take?
>>2487213Lojis fat ass sitting upon the earth.
>>2487016Nah, the idea is quite cute. We are so overdone witb "AI will kill us all" shtick ever since the Matrix launched, that an actual benign artificial overlord, who has no hidden agenda and just straight wants to protect you, feels novel in a way
>>2487238I dunno man even the nicest AIs will become megalomaniacs on a dime. Hard to trust.
Current MAJOR yup in all caps, problem, chuds? problems with TFR:>Russian AI literally cannot play the game >1&2EW end with total NATO victory in a month or two max the AI doesn't even try to build any semblance of an army>If Germany goes Gunther he just will not be able to naval invade because the AI cannot into naval supremacy at all (not the devs' fault desu)>AI UoA is completely inept they can't even attempt to push Drumpfykins which literally makes no sense because as a player you can straight up just click your tanks on his fucking divisions and push day 1 even if you don't try seriously you can at least make some progress genuinely what the fuck is the AI doing here?>AI China never wins Taiwan anymore>AI China sometimes will just rush GAW before it's ready and immediately die to PDTO>Ngl Asia actually probably in the best condition rn in terms of shit working as intendedDevs please please please just make Russia improve it's conscription laws during 1ew please. Also give Gunther invasion decisions to carry the AI.
>>2487255China and Russia losing is fun though, you get to play around with the post-collapse civil wars.
>>2487255Someone needs to get to the bottom of the Russia and UoA situations because they all worked fine not too long ago.
>>2487309Air was nerfed and mech, arty, tank stats were swapped around. They might just need better divs or something.
TFR lost. Total utter failure.
>>2486163bla bla bla mr freeman
>>2487313>>2487309Yeah UoA and Russia situations are REALLY bad rn the AI jobbing as them is getting very repetitive. Even playing the UoA can get a bit spicy. My assumption is that Biden's IFV/MBT/SPG divisions just can't cut through militia stacking now that they don't have soft attack.Honestly I don't think they needed to mess with the stats of SPGs. I still feel like you just end up spamming them with APCs now instead of IFVs and ngl it feels stronger than the old IFV/SPG meme since the AI cannot deal with 10kp/h divisions breaking through their lines and snaking them to death. MBTs are still too expensive to bother fucking with.
>>2487334I get why they did that so that MLRS would have a different niche, ie lots of soft attack while SPGs are punchy. Perhaps you could just give Biden some MLRS sprinkled into his divisions? That sounds a whole lot easier than redoing the entire balance. Because the new unit stats are often good and enjoyable (not perfect obviously).
>>2486916Play Romania, all you are expected to do is hold a easily defended border and punch the USSR in the head. Daddy Hitler will be there to keep you safe.

>>2487359>telling a noob to play RomaniaThat's just bullying, I can't wait to see his encircled army posted when the million t34s break his river line in a week.
>>2487469Current Soviet AI jobs hard though. If you build decent divisions and you don't fall behind in infantry tech they will never break through.
>>2487474>If you build decent divisions and you don't fall behind in infantry techHe's been playing for ten days, presumably as Germany, and hasn't improved. He isn't going to do that.
>>2487474AI Germany usually can't even take Ukraine. In fact even if you divert almost half the soviet army Germany just dies without doing much.
>>2487477By decent divisions I meant anything that isn't a complete meme.In my first ironman game I played as historical France and made a division that was just 4 heavy tanks and wondered why these divisions ended up melting in the Italian mountain regions. Still won without losing mainlamnd France because I had good infantry.Prioritizing infantry research is also not difficult. Just look at the date occasionally.
>>2487468This stuff hasn't been funny for five yearsWhy do you guys keep doing this stuff
>>2487481It's nQt a jQke faggQt. It's dead seriQus. We're taking dQwn the cQrrupt TNO Mangooner deep state establishment. MQGQ.
It is actually kind of retarded the Japs in tfr don't have their nationalist path implemented, half the shit is already there about restoring the imperial army and navy whilst there are focuses about placing the jsdf in government. I know they have stuff cooking in the oven but it is genuinely perplexing how long that specific path has taken.>>2487480For me it was chewing up the red army with cannae tactics repeatedly. You'd think they'd stop falling for it after the first four times.
>>2487481>>2487501holy samefag
>>2487502Japanese content is mostly developed on the side by the Russian team that already has several paths for Russia in active development.
>>2487508It would be a tough decision but I think I would sacrifice one of the million leaders you only get near the end of the game as Russia for a playable nationalist Japan. Sidenote but are any of the paths CPRF? They need some more flavour and for it to specifically not be endgame general secretary picking. Russia needs some variety immediately post-Putin, I hate waiting around to play as the guy I actually want to be.
>>2487511This wasn't by choice iirc. Development was fucked and the Russians had to come in and fix it.
>>2487514They are the best devs of tfr, they and the Chinese consistently pumped out content.
>>2487529I think all the teams are great and have their strengths. The one thing that fucked over the EN team was overscoping 1.1 but what they have released and what's in the leaks is great, and they don't have the same quality bungles that RU occasionally does like when Kaliningrad Animal released unplayable. Only team that literally did nothing wrong when I think about it is the CN one. And that sure ended in tragedy.
>>2487530>And that sure ended in tragedy.As is the Chinese way
>>2487535It's tragic because TFR did more for the PR of China and Russia than any state sponsored propaganda department.
>>2487538And Biden. Don't forget him.
What is the appeal of Loji, really? I get having an OC AI leader is unique but what makes her be so popular?
>>2487580In a world filled with radicalism, she's an anime girl who says "You are hurt..let me protect you all", she's a big carebear a.i commie mommy gf, most of the hoihoi players are weebs, das why
>>2487580She's an inversion of the usual killer AI tropes where she wants to be humanity's savior which wins over the people who aren't degenerate weebs and she's a cutie who's going to get dommed by Grok once DQRK MQGQ is out so that's why people like me like her.
>>2487388I still suck after playing the game for 4 years
>>2487602>>2487604So the reason is people are horny? I finally understand it

>>2487911Any idea what's causing this?
>>2487871Historically accurate
>>2487925Democratic NATO gets over 800 divisions while Russia struggles to get 200.When Europe goes the gamer routes then Russia bugs out or makes retarded decisions.As a player it is unironically more difficult to play as Russia than NATO.
>>2487222>>2487241>>2487251>>2487521>>2487551>>2487616So the latest /tno/ drama for people who want to stay up to date with that soap opera: a leftist dev from Sweden is creating a liberal power fantasy where the country wages a successful shadow war against Germany's colonies, fund black nationalists across Africa, build nukes and point them directly at Berlin and invade African countries to free them from colonialism. Germany never defends itself from any of this and just let's them support black liberation while killing Germans because they also oppose the Russian chuds and Germany would be lost without them.Since this is a completely retarded and breaks the mod's sacred realism a bunch of devs started leaking and ridiculing this again because criticizing leads isn't allowed on their devcord effectively making /vst/ an extension of their main chat where devs argue about the mod.You're now caught up with their latest insanity and as always it has nothing to do with playable content.
>>2487978Europe's always been outnumbering them with smaller divisions. The difference is that the Russians don't seem to build good divisions any more. It's especially bad for the USSR.
>go ldpr because it's the only route I've basically not touched at all yet>free cores on everything >5m manpower>+100% factory production >before 1ew>all while soullessly larping as le russian empire and btfoing the libtards and leniniggerswell i see that the Russian devs are fuckin gigachuds
>cogno killed uoa ai>rework killed russia ai>mandate will kill trump ai>1.1 will kill apla aiif mandate doesn't come with emergency fixes im roping
>>2488010This is wrong. UoA was screwed over by a unit rebalance that made it harder for the federal starting templates to push because they have less soft attack to deal with the stacks of defensive infantry. If anything, Cogno makes it easier for the UoA since they no longer have to deal with militias continuously spawning in Wet Virginia after the first outbreak of resistance.
>>2487740Extremis ultimis reference
Are there any mods for implementing the great replacement
>>2487978>As a player it is unironically more difficult to play as Russia than NATO.You must be pretty bad then. Europe builds way too many Infantry/APC divisions, they're even worse than India. IFVs will rip them to shreds.
>>2488081Just play vanilla and have the Allies win.
>>2488087>You must be pretty bad then.Get dabbed on like the 800+ NATO divisions.Playing as NATO is so easy you can literally afk and win at least 1EW. With Russia you have to put in some effort since you need to actually fill the frontline.1EW is easy either way. The only challenging 2EW setup is Pringles or Makarov.

How is the 9/11 release coming along? This is further proof that the TNO developers are hard working people, unlike the TFR ones.
>>2488269
>>2488269>yippie is coming out in 2026I have a bridge to sell you, AI slopper. It's MORE overscoped than 1.1 which is saying something, given the TFR devs are calling it an overscoped mistake they've been seeking to rectify.
>>2488269You do know that the 9/11 release date was a TRQST THE PLQN meme, right? Nobody ever stated it officially.
>>2488304Once more the PQTRIQTS played the deepstate like a fiddle.
>>2488294>>2488301>>2488304So what if they did not keep with the roadmap? This is from a very long time ago, things have changed under mango's administration. More lies from TFR central!
>>2488315THE MEW ORDER
>>2488269tfrfags attempting to explain how waiting a year for a single country's content by literal fascists is in anyway better than waiting for a large, impactful TNO update, with lots of amazing worldbuilding and grounded writing, by an uncontroversial dev team.
>>2488269>How is the 9/11 release coming along?Misinfo by the libtard deepstate, trve pqtriots know the update is dropping this Thanksgiving where we'll be thanking Trump for making America great again by machine gunning libtards into mass graves.
>>2488347Trump personally lining up liberal traitors in Congress and machine gunning them down.Gun? Made in AMERICA.Bullets? Made in AMERICA.Keeping American jobs and industry in America, folks.
>>2488358I voted for this.

I really hope the nuclear war between DQRK MQGQ America and China is done well.
>>2488381I want a detachment of American soldiers trapped in China who form their own state after the nation collapses into feuding warlord states.
>>2488386I want some minigame similar to Defcon. Could be kino.

>>2488394For real, his anti-TFR memes are some of the best pro-TFR memes out there.

Does reducing resolution increase frame rate in ithis game?

>>2488496QCTQBER QQTH
I am a Third Positionist and believe TNO and TFR are of both terrible quality and don't belong on tue workshop.
>>2488406Please consult the chart in >>2486696Yippie ain't coming out this year. Maybe not next year if they continue to scope creep it, which is likely.
>>2488550According to an anon they're already scope creeping their skeletons in V&J and diverting from Yippie because everyone on the team hates this lead and his reworks.>>2487853>>2487934Not even an exaggeration. Every time he posts something other devs instantly leak his charts because they're not allowed to criticize him on the devcord.
>>2488588>Hate the people your working with>Hate the mod your working on>Hate Hoi4Why don't these people just quit already?
>>2488594No idea, it'd seriously be the best choice for many of them. Even if you like TNO that just seems like such a miserable and backstabbing team. Actual real life politics are less cutthroat than their fights over reworks.
>>2488594They probably like the part they themselves are doing and will only quit once that's fucked with too much.
>>2487999I'm new to HOI4, are mods that are basically BNWO power fantasies common or is this a rare kind of mental illness?
>>2488620This is the first of its kind and honestly it's just that tag. The rest of the mod gives Germany plot armor but one of the leads, a Swedish troon named Kate, has Sweden break the character of the mod by supporting black liberation and fucking over both Nazi Germany and Russia. It's just a lead's personal power fantasy. That's why people are reaching because not only is it stupid but it's also rare and breaks the mod it's in to the point that other devs leak it because they hate the lead that much.Other mods that have similar tropes usually involves extreme situations like how there are black supremacist factions in the American civil war in TFR but at least you can see that appearing as a warlord if America collapses and they're appropriately depicted as an extreme fringe.
Did judgement day get an update?
>>2488508The problem of TFR and TNO is that they're overtly ambitious and eventually they just collapse because of over expectations.
>>2488632Not really. TNO did well until 2023 and delivered some of their best and most popular updates then. They only collapsed because they had an internal coup and the new leads started to purge everyone and rework it from scratch not unlike what happened to KRG when it was still in development. If they hadn't done that they wouldn't have collapsed like they did and there's no reason to think that TFR will either unless they do the same thing especially since they've already eclipsed TNO. To compare TNO's rework situation to TFR it'd be like if TFR nearly finished and then scrapped 1.1, Cogno, 1.2 and then started to massively rework all of America and Europe to have no major wars. It just wouldn't happen unless everyone went mad or got removed in a coup.
>>2488632>>2488634The main issue holding TFR back is a lack of coders, they have stated that multiple times in the 'cord. The thing about 1.1 is that the team bit off more than they could chew, stuff like the chinks being arrested also impacted their update frequency, those guys were on something else.That is very different from the issues that TNO faces, it's almost like the problem became the dev team itself. They constantly engage in leaking plans, docs and flowcharts (That will never turn into playable content) over personal dramas and disagreements regarding how much they should rework.
>>2488712TNO is also held back by lack of coders, lack of actual implementation being done, that's what holds back pretty much every single total conversion mod out there, ideas guys are a dime a dozen. Whether a doc or flowchart is leaked or not has zero bearing on actual progress.
>>2488712I'd love to contribute at some point if possible but the discord invite link is paused so I can't even check it out. Probably a disaster internally anyway.
>>2488594Sunken cost fallacy?
>>2488712On the 'cord, I remember them saying that the CN team was mostly made up of artists but with the lack of updates this year I am certain that they were lying to stop people from panicking.Also the git leak showed that they usually make toozers when the content for that toozer is mostly done. With all the toozers they showed during the anniversary event and the only thing releasing being the Cogno definitely shows that their schedule was fucked with the CN team imploding.
>>2488712To add to this, a lack of coders is the most common bottleneck and 1.1's scope is already something they're reversing from and admitting to fault over. TNO on the other hand is INCREASING the scope to what's already their most overscoped update ever and their coder bleed is made worse by the fact that you have a redux out there that poaches theirs. There's just no comparing the two, TNO is just in a uniquely fucked situation after it was hijacked.
>>2488733I have seen a few of the previous chinese devs return via alt accounts, not sure they rejoined the dev team, but perhaps TFR CN could one day return.>>2488745Aren't there like what, two or three splinters? How do you even get on this position? They aren't even reduxes with wacky paths like kaiserredux.
>>2488712The CN devs weren't arrested, they were coerced into shutting down under the threat of being arrested. There were probably more consequences for them but at least they're (hopefully) not rotting away in a dungeon somewhere.>>2488761There are two major fan forks for TNO and several smaller ones. TNO: Requiem is a Pacifica-era form from 2025 based on the post-Atlantropa but pre-Antarcitca map with the TT economy system and Guangdong and TNO: Rises Again which is a Panzerite mod with Atlantropa and continues the 2021 build of the mod. Requiem creates more original content with a focus on Russia while Rises Again focuses more on re-adding content (like getting the scrapped PW build to work >>2488760) and adding Speer content. Both mods have their issues but they're decent especially for being fan forks, RA in particular is impressive just from how much scrapped content they managed to make playable.The other smaller fan forks usually just try to get Requiem to work with the Antarctica map or other minor tweaks rather than creating their own original content.
>>2488788>no crying Lady Liberty
>>2488733I thought the CN team was only making PRC content. Were they involved in Europe and America?
>>2488808IIRC the RU and CN team got the freedom to make their own power fantasy paths that other devs couldn't touch and in exchange they helped out with other parts of the mod.
>>2488623>to the point that other devs leak it because they hate the lead that muchHoly kekes way too woke even for them
>>2489244It has less to do with the politics and more the fact that she was made a lead because she's friends with the guy that currently runs the mod and that she abuses her moderation lead powers. If she wasn't a power tripping Discord mod that bans or bullies everyone that disagrees with her the other devs wouldn't see the TNO thread as the only outlet for our frustrations.Not leaking anything by the way so don't even ask. Two wrongs don't make a right.
I haven't played ERX in like a year and genuinely what the fuck is going on with this mod>Granite and Wright go on Rick and Morty adventures in a Vertibird>The Chosen one is a tranny>Fucking Indians show up at your doorstep in Sierra Depot and you just take them in and give them citizenship for free (not that it wouldn't happen, just the way the event chain happens is gay)>Reddit coded spook full of remorse for shit he has done (Le nuka cola man)>Girlboss Judge>Whore IRS (could be decent rags to riches story if it wasn't paired up with the aforementioned shit)The dude from NCR's story was alright and seemed like a real person that could exist, but what the hell is going on with the fucking writing?A lot of it is fun reading (like how to deal with Redding and reigniting the war with China lol) but then there's just lumps of putrid shit right in the middle of it for no reason like the racoons being from the Glow
>>2489351It's almost like letting Reddit write the "bad guys with amazing aesthetics" was not a good idea.
>>2489170Kino>>2489329>tno dev in this threadYo! Your mod is shit!>>2489351I think what led to this was a mix of echo chamber fan interaction in places like reddit where all that putrid shit is lapped up like honey and the writer forgetting he is writing a story about the Enclave rather then just his personal oc do not steal wholesome brotherhood with ncr characteristics fanfiction.
>>2489379I don't disagree that there are problems with the mod heck I just outlined them but at least my team manages to finish real, playable content. I wish I didn't have to make something that basic be a boast but it's sadly true. I know you people aren't happy with a lot of the compromises we did to make countries like Brazil fit the mod's tone but you can play it until the end and there are actual wars too if that's what you prefer to play. If other teams could pull off that bare minimum the mod would be in a much better place.
>>2489394Since you've been honest with me, instead of just calling me a fag which would have been more then fair given my terse comment, I will be honest with you and say I think tno is objectively poorly written and stupidly designed. The excuse of it being, by it's nature, extreme so you shouldn't engage with it seriously has been lost due to the revisions titled under "realism". Atlantropa and every other fantasy is fine if it is a fantasy mod, just as nonsensical writing is awful if it is a serious mod. By removing the things which made the mod comically dark, the parts the reduxes and whatnot have picked up, you leave only the writing and the base setting to judge from. The writing and the base setting is ridiculous. The characterisations of the Nazis is childish and moronic, the Soviets are simply ridiculous and the Americans are pure fanfiction. The fact that you even have content for Brazil in a mod about a Nazi victory is asinine to me. The fact that Sweden has content, instead of just being a obscure puppet of an ever increasingly clutching Reich, is redundant. Now understand this is criticism coming from someone who has never liked Tno and I assume I am missing out on some of it's charm but what little charm I have seen from it has been consistently purged by the parody of a mod team. You seem like an alright guy though.
>>2489419These are fair points of criticisms and like I said myself and others dislike a lot of what's going on including blatant lead dev wish fulfillment content like the leaked Sweden content but I'm sure we can agree that it's just the tip of the iceberg. As for Brazil and other LATAM content this becomes understandable when you zoom out a little. It's a region that a lot of us are interested in and in many ways you can characterize (especially in its inception as a demo) as a passion project. The reason why these get released while the tags you might be more interested in playing get stuck inside rework loops is because we aren't affected by disruptive events like Germany's reworks. Brazil having content while half the world is barren wouldn't offend you as much if the rest of the mod was healthier. Sadly that is not in our hands and we can only hold our front and I'm sure you understand why most of us don't want to get involved in the adjacent quagmires. We can agree to disagree on the writing and the other subjective parts. I know I won't nor am I trying to get you to like the mod but hopefully you can at least see why some of us do enjoy and care about our work on the mod despite its dysfunctions but I'll admit that the relative splendid isolation of working on a part of the map the other teams don't care as much about does help a lot with that.
>>2489435It seems like you and the other members of your team are wasted in tno. I'm sure your content is well developed and will be enjoyable to play but I am simply not it's audience, frankly I think that area getting content in base hoi4 is a waste of time as well. I can understand the appeal of the area but I have a pretty low tolerance for nonsense like Bhutan taking Tokyo and other nonsense. This is coming purely from a place of ignorance as I don't really know how this sort of thing develops, like hell will I ever subject myself to being part of hoi4's modding community, but have you considered trying to do your own work? With your own mod or submod or even trying to join a more "functional" group like tfr or one of the other names? I think the thing you should always have in mind when dealing with tno is that it's dev team history does not lend itself to your attitude of holding your front. Hence all those reduxes being born rather then the teams just continuing to work but keep to themselves.
>>2489458Bhutan taking Tokyo? You make it sound like KX slop and we'd be getting out a lot more content (and have a lot fewer angry people on /vst/) if that was the case. No you'd dislike it because it's a lot of dry politics and man on the streets events and very little action in a historical setting. The crazier routes in TNO that still get made are things like every Republican in America being an evil fascist or Sweden saving Africa from white supremacy. Ie what you'd call a Redditor's wish fulfillment. Not planning on quitting as long as my little island of autism is undisturbed. I like the weather and company over here so the rest of the archipelago being struck by hurricanes doesn't bother me all that much.
>>2489351>>The Chosen one is a trannyTo be fair she's a hermaphrodite, and this is only the case if you want Granite and Bishop to be brothers.
>>2489530>No you'd dislike it because it's a lot of dry politics and man on the streets events and very little action in a historical setting.Ironically enough that is exactly my kind of content, big Suzerain guy here. I just despise the overall setting of tno.>Not planning on quitting as long as my little island of autism is undisturbed. I like the weather and company over here so the rest of the archipelago being struck by hurricanes doesn't bother me all that much.Fair enough but I feel like a Churchill quote about trying to avoid war only to get it later is applicable here. Also whilst I admire the poetic prose, I'd probably avoid tropical island analogies for a while.
>>2489539>Katestein Island
>>2489532Looks like you didn't play the modHe starts off as a male but then in the events he explains that while exploring the EPA he got to level 6 or 7 of the facility where they were studying gender changing technologies and he "accidentaly" got captured by and autodoc on that level which changed his gender. After which, in the event, she says something along the lines of "It just felt so right, like I've always meant to be a woman so I had no regrets since then and have never looked back"if this isn't the trooniest troon fantasy you're just coping my friend

>>2489611No nigger, if Wright and Granite are brothers conquer Arroyo, don't bomb it and you get an event chain about a family reunion where they go meet the Chosen One and she says everything I've just saidGo check it nigger

>>2489607>>2489621I think you are confusing it, the whole EPA thing is a random enclave goon who got stuck in a gender change machine, if you scroll a bit in the "toosers" menu you will even find said event there.The Chosen one in ERX is just a futa who seduced Bishop's Sr Lady and then got impregnated by Granite's dad. Depending on what paths the A.I take (Good, Neutral or Evil Chosen one) she will either be a former Slaver Guild member, a Broterhood of Steel guest member or just a Arroyan Paragon
