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

[Corpun]

I know HOI4 would never touch on Germany's plans for the East, because even coming close to mentioning the Holobunga and so forth is verbotten. But, I think it would be interesting to have a new option for elevating Rosenberg to dominance and a new system of establishing puppet regimes could play out instead. The puppets could have lower resistance gain and perhaps provide more men for the meatgrinder, at the cost of fewer resources and factories being provided. He honestly deserves more than to be delegated to a UI element as he is in current HOI4.

If TNO was interesting they would have made Rosenberg a potential successor along with Hess.

Wasn't Rosenberg supposed to be a potential leader for RK Ukraine originally?

Is/was Rosenberg even in TNO?
I can't remember.

It is a shame. As I wonder what their goal and purpose was. I could only assume as a Jap player, it could make some states loyal during the Great Asian War. Which are you adding that in your mod eventually?

Yes, but it will probably be called something else to distinguish it from TfR. Maybe something simple like "The Final War of Eternal Liberation Against Japanese Tyranny in the Pacific and India"

Imagine how slow TFR runs on a laptop...

On my old GAYming laptop it's playable but takes an age to load and chugs during gameplay. That old thinkpad must double as hot plate for the roachmeal.

He was, but I checked my code and currently he's just your starting HoG. Funnily enough he was the nice guy option way back when.

I vaguely remember that he was supposed to invade the other RKs to free the Slavs cause he considered them Aryan. It would have been really fun to do that.

You're correct.

The Eastern RKs were absolutely shafted. One day I will make my dreams of Beria and Josias dueling to the death in Svetitskhoveli Cathedral a reality.

MaxOR can do the ADHD style too, just have to use it right.

Honestly, the older videos, that now got an "outdated" tag were the best for me, I tried to watch his Elden Ring videos and the overload of constant screen distortion is just painful. His Ace Combat videos remain the best.

Brazilian Integralists promoted the idea of a Brazilian nation composed of all races (except maybe Jews)

In that case, the heads of the moviment disagreed in some aspects. Plinio Salgado was the most anti racist one, who openly shit talked Hitler, but he accepted to spy for Germany for a brief period where they had common foes.

Anyone recommend a new interesting path in TFR I've mainly played USA and Germany and feel like I've exhausted those nations.

japan is a very enjoyable david vs. goliath nation
lots of proxy wars and number-go-up type shit
i was entranced enough to play until the chinese civil war was over
save often, you're probably gonna fuck up often and need to reload

Slight rewrite of TNO Lore:

With the rise of the West Russian Front or whatever the fuck the successor to the Soviet Union in the 50s was, German officials in the RKs begin to get concerned about partisan uprisings seeing revived Soviets as the lesser evil. Hitler authorizes Rosenberg to do some reforms (But not all) and even the reforms Rosenberg does do prove to be stymied by SS and his Nazi peers who refuse to do any compromise.

This fucks up Rosenberg's political career throughout the rest of the 50s and he is effectively sidelined with only minor honorary roles in government. The West Russian war ends inconclusively meaning there is no reason to give Slavs rights, but the communists are still a potential threat on the border, as Western Russia isn't as splintered up in as it is in TNO

Come the GCW and Hitler's death. He aligns with either Speer or the military through pragmatism and wanting to push his own reforms. Preferably the military because then you get two separate 'reform' paths (And preferably one that isn't basically a trap path) for Germany. I don't count Bormann since even if you do everything correct you get railroaded into disaster anyways.

If he is made Fuhrer by the military after victory as a way to legitimize their authority, seeing as he is an original proponent of the ideology, he can begin to enact political reforms that the military regime likes, since the military faction that takes power is different from Bormann's clique and is run by the more neutral 'realists' in the military who see the present situation as untenable.

These reforms include solving the situation of the RKs being both military and economic blackholes by negotiating and propping up friendly, or as closely aligned as possible, native-run governments with German oversight relegated to military protection. Slavs get basic rights in their own states and autonomy, while German overlordship is retained, effectively pacifying Eastern Europe for the most part, although in some areas like Russia this is basically impossible as they will never Trust the Germans, meaning that RKs remain there as holdouts or the Rosenberg government simply funds and backs 'friendly' Russia states (See Vlasov, the Tsar, etc. who exist in current TNO lore as splinter states from West Russia) and effectively cede most of RK Moskowien to one of those figures in an attempt to stem off Russian invasion, although obviously these countries have scores to settle with Germany as well.

It would actually make for a fun stupid ass minigame between Rosenberg, Orthodox Nazis in the RK, remaining militants, Speerite reformers, his military clique, and the fucking SS; but of course having fun and interesting paths for Germany in TNO is verboten because the whole mod is a morality tale that Nazis are bad, as if everyone in the world doesn't know that.

Russia and it's many paths are very fun. If you're up for a challenge try to do achievement runs. TFR has their own achievements and you don't need Ironman for them (except Iron Trial and Man vs Machine).

Just to add on a smidge perhaps, because I'm an Ideas Guy™, Rosenberg could probably pull from some of Hitler's earlier rhetoric around the East with any reform program. A few times in his rhetoric, Hitler referred to the East as being the German equivalent of Britain's India. By framing it as being a "restoration" of "Hitler's Original Vision" for the newly conquered East, the establishment of a whole bunch of little Princely States — Fürstenstaaten if Google Translate serves me— might go down smoother.

Add on the idea that some National Socialist thinkers had of the Russian/Eastern Slavs in general, that they were once Nordic but had long degenerated thanks to race-mixing. Suddenly, no longer is the Reich elevating filthy degenerate untermensch, rather the new Princes could be marketed as the Last of the Varangians. Proper, Nordic men of good Aryan descent, kept down by the Asiatic yoke of the Russian hordes historically and by Judeo-Bolshevism until recently.

Pragmatic action thus can be given a semblance of proper National Socialism, at least when squinted at.

Do you think there is a secret Burgundian base on Pluto?

Real?

If you play with downsized resolution (like 800x600 for example which is what I would use), you get more FPS which is how I played HOI4 and other games (before I brought and built my beefy PC).

Is this a timeline where the jeets are the ones with a monopoly on piracy sites in the early 2000s?

Reminds me of the one dude who restored all of the old India content. Also VERY far back like one of the first few pages on this thread, there was mention that the old cut monarchist Free France tree may be hidden on the TNO github but cannot confirm if still there or not. TNO has so much cutting room floor stuff its actually interesting.

Its more that is anything even allowed anymore? Are they even updating it? Like I heard they are going to absorb Addio Africa but I can't even confirm that. Last thing they touched is piss poor "content" which I hesitate to use for Brazil.

Update to me. The most recent janny activity on their reddit is a post about a table top game.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/1ln2oka/untitled_unofficial_tno_ttrpg_map_editor_update/

I think the mod is fucking cooked. Just from anecdotal things a lot of TNO "fans" I talk to outright admit they don't play the game/mod they just like the world about it and shit post about it. Unironically Goodwinson might be the only thing keeping TNO alive. I almost want to give Panzer plates of HRT to make him work.

Tell Panzer that if he actually completes the mod Hitler will return and call him a real gaymer gurl.
