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

Tried the Sov rusky path, not that good imo. It's basically spend 5+ years preparing to invade Ukraine. Time to try Atomwaffen path ig

 

[ConsentAccidentVictimNo98]

Double post but lol, just realized that there could be a case of the Atomwaffen path being "illegal" in the UK bc they're a proscribed terrorist organized which is a big no-no!!! Which basically means you cannot read or interact with any of their shit. Oh wellllll

Don't we have an Atomwaffen thread on here? That would make KF illegal in the UK as well

Also, the last based man in the PNW (barring Absolutego, of course)

Atomwaffen in TFR is what Burgundy should have been in TNO. Grim, but still goofy and fun to play as a challenge.

Burgundy's main problem (at least when tno was freshly released) was that you quickly realize everything bad happening was their fault. The worldbuilding suffers as a result since most global events are being caused by Burgundy taking a few focuses.

But I don't get the point of trying to battle covid or rioters as the USA before the civil war.

I think you can avoid the 2acw by having a high enough approval rating by the election, but I really doubt its possible without major effort.

There are unused graphics for a balance of power mecahnic between him and an Atomwaffen splinter, it seems likely that Cascadia will get content next.

There are also graphics for England (Cavalier/Parliamentarian and Government overconfidence/Populist discontent), Serbia (Milosevic/Titoist) and a US splinter called the Association of the Freed (Anarchist/Libertarian) so those countries might be in the next content update too.

Cascadian natsocs and cascadian nationalists in general have always interested me. Hopefully they finally get some prominence in a big HOI4 mod, they seldom make an appearance in the scene

A source in the team confirmed that the next big patch (as in not counting bugfix patches) is going to focus on finishing those American splinters that had to be cut from release. Cascadia, League of the South (League of South? LoS in any case), BLA (Black Liberation Army?) and AoF (Association of the Freed?). This should be confirmed on the Discord server sometime next week.

They also teased content for the Chicano Liberation Army. Would love to see more weird/obscure splinters get content

I'm hoping most to see Army of God where you can become a Christian theocratic caliphate and there's a balance of power mechanic that swings between Protestant and Catholic dominance.

They did good research, only a proper appreciator of Mike would get all those obscure facts down

Same applies to every faction really, benefits of having a team that doesn't spergout and eject people from the project over political spergery

 

[GoodWinSon]

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out but TFR has a great map to base modern day mods off of. Other code and assets are also good if you want to use them.

Secret Orthodox path where you restore the Roman Empire using WMDs.

Let's hope it stays that way. Too many good mods have gone bad or died over the years.

A lot of people in various comment sections are saying AWD for example is just edgy for the sake of being edgy, but they don't seem to realize that the mod's depiction of them is pretty spot-on. People are also complaining about Russian/Chinese bias without realizing the Russian content was made by Russian developers and Chinese content was made by Chinese developers, so it's only natural.

 

[A Bit Concerning]

It's always the Megumin fans. Horrible, horrible people

Anybody who enjoys Konosuba is a degenerate.

Atomwaffen in TFR is what Burgundy should have been in TNO. Grim, but still goofy and fun to play as a challenge.

TNO also fails to realize that Burgundy is a fucking absurd concept, and by even so much as including it you threw your "le realistic" angle out the window. It's literally Nazi North Korea that's ran by Himmler, (who himself was considered a kook even among the Nazis) it's like something out of a command and conquer game if Nazis were one of the factions.

 

[Maxtrot]

Now that I've played TFR more extensively, I can safely tell that countries outside of ACW are currently in a poor state. Germany and France are huge memes that have good ideas behind them (like having political paths open up depending on what kind of Russia you lose to), but they're boring as fuck and are inflicted with hefty debuffs versus Russia's +50% attack buff, which is supposed to be offset by impending exhaustion but it's kind of whatever. EU can federalize, which is cool, but it can do that even after losing war.

Russia's just boring. I don't know if devs wanked it because they're primarily Russians themselves, but all the available paths are lacking in content or weight, and post-war content is just clicking decisions to stabilize your realm. Bonuses need to be seriously tuned as soon as possible. I love that Russian Empire can be restored, USSR as well, but I was unable to find an Eurasian path yet.

American Caligula has been a bit of a highlight for me alongside Atomwaffen, but I wish that they go further with the schizo stuff. We need more. This mod will never beat TNO if it won't embrace it's rampantly developing mental illness.

 

[Coberald]

Eurasian path

You need to lose as Russia, you'll be couped and either get Dugin or Navalny. I think the one you get depends on your balance of power before the coup.

The descriptions for the national spirits for example are also written from the perspective of the country that have them. The spirit that Serbia has due to its lost of Kosovo paints said country as an artificial state invented by albanian supremacists, and the NATO invasion as a criminal act, meanwhile, the spirit that Kosovo has puts them as a people who finally freed themselves from the serbian yoke, and the NATO intervention as a humanitarian act. People don't realize that national spirits and focus descriptions should portray the views of the people there, not the ones of a biased developer tema like how TNO portrays everything that's now milquetoast liberalism

Love how the military reform branch is just Killzone, lol.

The game has a lot of fairly good popculture references, but the original artwork doesn't fall behind either, and the ideology icons are very well made, the commie ones in particular, like the one fat kim has if he "liberalizes"

 

[Happy Camper]

Between TFR and RD, it seems like nature is healing and that HOI4 modding might actually become good again.
All we need now is a Redux for TNO and we'll have our happy ending.
