I've been playing Goering's Wild Ride and its made me wonder: Why is there no arms race in TNO? I mean really, Goering's army tree has a whole branch dedicated to the nuclear arms race where you revamp the Fuhrerbunker, build more advanced missile silos, and make new types of ICBMs.

Because Paradox doesn't care about nukes either.

So forgot about this and found it buried. I remember they were going to start work on Stirling and Chesteron but both ended up getting cut in TT2.

Makes me wonder why they did not keep them, despite being in line with TFL still.
 
ATOMWAFFEN:
- Fixed not being able to produce nuclear bombs
- New super event for Christian Atomwaffen

About time they fixed the nuke issue, had to Console in them the last time I played.
I haven't played the Christian Atomwaffen, guess it's time I give them a go.

France rework and presumably Dark MAGA is coming in the next update in a few weeks + some shade thrown to TNO devs
WTF 10 years of war content is way too much.

Best I'll do is 2 and a half years for Kosovo content but only the SocDem path where there's 500 events of a lesbian couple

Lesbian couple that is a self-insert of the tranny writer of said event*

At this rate this thread will produce more content for TNO in a year than the official mod team
 
How hard do you guys think it'd be to add in a custom US president with content from '64 to '68?

I'd say pretty difficult if you want to get to TNO's level of Presidency content, it would take a long time, I'd say just work with the 4 that can currently be elected in 1964.

I hope they don't get too cocky. Being fair to TNO they did get the cutting room floor update, the Britain full content and other updates like After Midnight done fairly quickly until Toolbox theory and it's increasing bloat killed their momentum. Besides all the bs that has been documented here, I'd say a lot of the dev time just lost interest and motivation which can happen to TFR and any mod team.

It's easy in a way. The calculations for a the presidential election are pretty convoluted, but in the end it spits out a single variable which a scripted event checks for to determine who wins. As it's set up, the variable determines which faction (Republicans, Dem, Yockeys, etc.) wins, but you can easily have multiple candidates for a faction if you just use a country flags when choosing candidates event happens.

This is how Rises Again does it. If you want to do it for Last Days, I can't really help you there.

Shouldn't be that hard as long you don't include a forced minigame that literally exists to serve as bloat and offers no fun whatsoever.

The only 'minigame' that should exist is maybe an approval ratings and election mechanic but that's it.
 
Hey, just to let you all know, the latest School Shooter mentioned TNO and HOI4. We all knew this day would eventually happen but at least this shooter was a total failure.
How tf Skylanderss ended up in that list. Also this nigger couldn't even proof check his gay manifesto, its "Cry of Fear" not "Cry out of Fear"
Thank god he picked a meme gun like Taurus I guess
