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

If 1.1 still doesn't release by May 1, 2026, i'll put on a burger suit avatar until the end of the year.

Against all odds, TNO updated. Does anyone want to bite the bullet and so a screenshot LP for the thread? If there's a debug option for it, being able to compare their Iberian Wars to the one in RA might be interesting. Pretty wild all things considered that a facelift for a bit-player in the timeline is the most substantial update we're likely to see this year.

A man of his word. Very respectable. :)

Let's be honest there wasn't exactly anything to cut off in the first place.
 
Does anyone want to bite the bullet and so a screenshot LP for the thread?
I didn't take any screenshots but I can quickly summarise how I felt about the whole thing for anyone interested. (Did 1.5 playthroughs - one actually democratising and one reload to see the Iberian Wars.)

Iberia Proper:
Overall it's really no different than the old Iberia. Like, at all. There's some new proxies, mainly in South America, though they pretty much just devolve into button pressing as much as you can, with the exception of Jamaica. There's a few fiddly GUI minigames and decisions to click that make the downtime feel like less of a slog, but stuff like the AAS minigame still isn't great - and just feels useless. In TNO tradition the one bit of fun I found myself having was just trying to max out my econ. sphere.

Democracy:
My opinion on the democratic side is that it's still retarded to have Franco be anywhere near a democratically minded government, but that's always been a problem since the tag was made. Having Fraga embrace Reformism only to then be able to go back to an Anocracy is also a strange choice; though it's all slightly more engaging than what came before it by virtue of not being years out of date.

The Iberian Wars:
Iberian Wars stuff was just... eh? I wasn't particularly trying very hard to win quickly, but managed to avoid both the Nationalist and Reformist collapse which meant I didn't see any of the Carlist/Falangist content. The trees for the Nationalists and Reformists were pretty good, but the Separatist ones felt really weak and out of date(?). It's not bad or anything, but I'd rather just play TNOR. The whole decision tab for it felt incredibly pointless as well, because unless I've suddenly got really good at TNO's combat system most of the buffs it was offering weren't worth micromanaging.

General Update Stuff:
All the new Skeleton Content promised ranges from decent to baffling. They've made some minor changes like Sidos not being able to join any Sphere but the Pakt - while also doing stuff like no longer having the WIF. South America getting some more content is neat, and I like how it ties into Iberia stuff, but a lot of it just feel like it's just cycling through varying flavours of Junta at the end of the day. I wish they went back to pre-existing countries like Italy and made use of the "Multiple sub-slots of a single ideology" thing on the wheel, but considering that's in nebulous rework hell until the end of time I'm not going to complain. Culture Map is nice as well, adds some stuff that was weirdly missing from prior updates (No Sami culture until now?) but it's all extraneous bullshit at the end of the day, and the actual content on offer is just meh.

TLDR + Overall Judgment: 6/10 - It's not a bad update, but it's just very unexciting. And rather buggy, apparently. Didn't see those, thankfully. If any of you want to know more, ask.

I remember I watched some of his stream VODs and found he doesn't upload some of his VODs to youtube.

In many of those VODs he lost the game.

How strange.

Could you post some of the focus trees? I'm interested in how they differ from the unreleased focuses (both panzer and tt era).
 
I've been thinking about it for a while, and I really do think they're aiming for a 4th of July release.
Something something Independence Day, something something 250th Anniversary and all.
It would no doubt make sense. Hopefully after that they'd move on to the Kaiserredux model of not doing group releases and instead just assign devs to their own individual tags they'd want to work on and release each individually when they are done.

Guess I'm not redownloading it. Sounds like it's just mediocre. I'm pretty sure those cultures are around in RA but got removed in the move to the new map so it's nice to see them try to gain parity with the real mod.
 
His gripe with communists seems to be that they don't support NATO. That's it.

The whole thing about Denmark being a whip is really a reach by the commies. The Danes have given the Ukrainians a few planes and about a dozen artillery pieces (their entire artillery arsenal, no plans for replacing them), essentially nothing. The Ukies run through that stuff in a week.

Also, what's wrong with the Nazis flying their flags in a political rally, Mr. Liberal Democracy? What about freedom of speech, a pillar of a democratic society, peasant?
 
I'm sure TFR 1.1 will be out by October 18th (The TFR 2nd anniversary) or by December 1st 2026 (KR4's 10 anniversary). or else you guys will find a way to put my profile into a burger suit.
I was going to say that I think it will release on the Fourth of July but that gives them two months only and they still haven't released the Dark MAGA update yet.
