Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

Remember when kaiserreich removed goering and teased he was going to play a big role in the german rework only to have him show up in a throwaway event where he gets kicked out of parliment for being a fat retard.

I assumed he was going to be the leader of NatPop Germany like in KX since he used to be a pretty outspoken supporter of the monarchy before he joined the NSDAP. Modern KR sucks so much, I hadn't even played it in years before they released the Ukraine and Germany reworks.

Russian state funded mod “African Dawn” released, according to some words from the grapevine, the streamer “Grisha” was paid by the state to promote this and hire a team to develop this but the team hired did fuck all except one guy and the result is a half baked mod that’s only slightly better than TOTA (which isn’t a high bar to cross to begin with.)

Nice to see Russian taxpayer money well spent!

Edit: Another thing I would like to add is that the individual developing this (because again the rest of the “team” did fuck all) was given a very strict deadline with very little wiggle room so I wouldn’t lay the blame on the modder himself, if he was given more leeway and didn’t have a deadline to worry about than I have no doubt that this mod would have a mid to average first release given this guy’s other workshop submissions.

I wish the Rooskies used this autism to make something cool instead of some boring mod that shows how much Russia tranny hearts niggers.

The german paths in kaiserreich are super lame.

You have the wholesum suc dems who did nothing wrong and are perfect.

The evil militarist schemer who cant even go past auth dem and who completly purge germany of his rivals.

The evil nazis but developmentally disabled and heavily toned down. The far right cant even take power in germany and establish a dictatorship they have to rule by democratic means.

I would have added several more paths to germany like

Actual military juanta if schielcher breaks the consituition without purging the military. They can also take power if the suc dems go to far in reaching socialism.

An alliance of Liberals and conservatives who can take power during the coalition building stage by teaming up with zentrum.

Actual facists who can take over germany through the dvlp path

An absolutist kaiser path that is unlocked if schielecher or swr centralizes power but fucks up.

SocDem path should have been straight up replaced with the more national and pro-war wing of the spd (Lensch-Cunow-Haenisch). these people would have actually been completely vindicated through the war, also would have been fun to the a socdem path that is just "we need to be imperialist the 3rd world is to retarded to progress"

exactly and that wing of the spd would have had an actual reason to fight against the third interntional. Right now the spd doesnt have a reasont to fight a moderate rad soc third internationale as both are pretty much the same thing.

Yeah, and with the content only going to 1956 it basically makes it a really bad cold war esc mod. There's only a couple of actual points where war could break out between the entente and german block. First is the Oxford naval treaty with Britain and the second is the naval exercises. The advent of war is based upon RNG so you'll either go from having a boring game to just sitting on your ass for however long you play. The eastern front similarly also has two points. First, is if they don't accept the German demands at the start of the war and the second is when they choose to go to war within the Russian focus tree for whichever Russian faction does it.

There's only a few proxy conflicts as well, with no actual means of causing wider conflict. The only one that has any actual significance is the Moroccan war and that's only because they'll end up being a german ally.

The only fun path for America is the whole "yeehaw segregation time" for the conservative faction where you get a ton of negative modifiers for going down their focus tree content (which made me just not do it) and how you have to basically wait forever before the start of the third american civil war, with this again being dependent on RNG and Canada going down the right focus tree path that it's just eh.

It's definitely a half baked mod.

The start date is a massive handicap. Starting at 1948, literally RIGHY AFTER the Weltkrieg means those countries will spend a huge chunk of their time rebuilding. TNO and TWR were smart to put some time between the war and the start of the mod. So the countries could focus on domestic and international politics.

I highly doubt were gonna see 40 years worth of content in this mod.

Yeah I mean look at fucking the UK's national spirits lol. "Aftermath of the Blitz" is fucking brutal. It's just a sad fucking mod. I did an observer game to 1956 and the only thing that happened was the AUS got into a war with the Entente and they were in a forever war because they couldn't capitulate France and the UK (but they did capitulate Canada.) Nearly every Russia game from observer just has them end up losing what they gained in the 2WK (if they go to war with Germany, if they accrue like.. 200k casualties, they instantly white peace. Russia, the country famously known for surrendering instantly upon a slight booboo and low casualties.) KRG is just as fucking boring as vanilla KR. The only thing different is they moved the start date 12 years up.

It's a genuine fucking joke. Chose literally the most boring fucking KR 2WK aftermath. Apparently they were going to have it originally be socialist USA winning instead of AUS (literally might as well just be the normal fucking USA or PSA, just slightly less "democratic." They changed it because it was too unbalanced. Like... wow, you know you're creating a fucking HOI4 mod, right? It's miserable, it's genuinely, genuinely fucking miserable. Less content than TNO, TWR, and a couple other big mods that released over the last few years despite having way more time in the oven. To the devs over there, Kennedy, DuoDex, Zimbabwe etc, etc. You're all fucking braindead. Meaningless fucking buffs. Removing negative national spirits is not fucking gameplay. National spirit/idea spam is not fucking gameplay or fun. Hey you like fucking event spam? Wanna know about the politics in fucking Malaysia from constant news spam? Broken GFX and broken LOC despite having YEARS in development? Yeah. Go play it. What a fucking joke. TFR may be the only saving grace for modding this year.

As a side note I really don’t like how syndicalism has been completely eradicated in this world either. It would have been interesting to see what a Syndie nation in South America or Asia for example would do in a world where the main revolutionary base (France and Britain) collapsed. Do they reform to adapt to this new world ? Stick to ideological orthodoxy no matter what or abandon syndicalism altogether ?
