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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Nukes don't result in a game over, the only new feature is that they sap pops.
Also, nukes are only used by AI when 80%+ towards capitulation, and even then, it won't be stupid enough to destroy the planet, but if nukes are used right off the bat, then you start a nuclear war proper.
But it will also depend on government and ruler of the country (yazov will do gamer things) for example
That doesn't make any sense though. If the Cuban missile crisis had gone hot the nukes would have flown instantly. The Soviets wouldn't have had to 80% capitulate the USA for them to be used, that's preposterous. Same for an escalation in Korea or Vietnam. The superpowers wouldn't only launch if their capital was taken, that was part of their opening strategy.

Nukes sapping pops makes some sense but countries should disintegrate if hit by a lot of them. A full strategic bombardment should disable the target country.

Yep, but I'm making so the AI doesn't fuck the planet without reason, but its all patent pending for now.

The easy way to do that is to temporarily code the AI so it doesn't declare war on nuclear armed states. Later on there should be an option to allow that but it will always end badly. The 7 days to the river Rhine plan from the 1970s had nuclear weapons used from the outset.

To generalize the aim of this mod; The tone will be switched from inconsistent grim-dark to dark comedy, and gameplay primacy will be most valued.
To summarize the formula for how we do things generally; Fun>Realism, but we place realism where it can be afforded (atlantropa removal for example).

WW3 instantly exploding into thermonuclear warfare definitely fits with a dark comedy theme, though, as well as fitting the cold war setting. Dr Strangelove is a good inspiration.
 
I could be wrong on the details, but since the main point of damming the Congo was to irrigate the Sahara and the Congo Sea is too far south to do that, it could very well be that they fucked up.
You know what, TNO Redux guys, keep the Congo Sea in, keep it in the same location, and have the in-universe reason be “the guys who made it fucked up and flooded the wrong place”.
That seems like the kind of dumb, clownworld funny shit that fits.
 
Ah yes, the TVTropes page. It also has pearls like this:

What is up with TVTropes and total autism?
I relember once a redditor said that Men is "worse" than Sablin because Men, being a christian priest, is against homosexuality, despite Sablin being against religion, which will affect more people. Granted, in the blessed chungus path he won't forbidden religion, still, Men don't even forbidden homosexuality too.
Or is that being against groups is ok when they aren't minorities?
Was that the Troon who worships the SBA because they normalize LBGT rights and are one of the biggest power fantasy countries in the mod?
To be fair I don't know why Dirlewanger is not represented at all in media, he fits the stereotype of evil nazi that burns vilages and kills children.
Because it is easier to make a comically evil Nazi villain than use an actual insane person like Dirlewanger.
I can't wait to see the Subreddit rage post about this redux when it releases and does better than the original mod.
If that anti-LGBT mod that was on the Steam Worskshop for TNO is anything to go by, they won't handle it well.
Uruguay is probably the most accepting country in the Americas along with Canada. Polling for gay marriage by some accounts is about 75% which is higher than the USA. The problem with TNO is that they'd make some ultra-Catholic backward country like El Salvador accept it instantly.
It's funny cause the justification for their LGBT laws having buffs is they didn't want to piss off troons with a potential negative to decriminalizing homosexuality, etc.

I should also mention that Hall is likely going to be reworked into a wholesome LibSoc route now that Panzer, who at the very least seems to have been universal in his anti-extremism is gone for good and the commies who jerk off to Sablin are in charge. Japan is likely going to end up in a similar route where they either have the evil fascist path or the wholesome democracy path, seeing as this is happening to Italy. I am surprised no one has posted about them making John Wayne a Yockeyite. Sorry it isn't archive, I'm too retarded to know how to do that: John Wayne is a Nazi

EDIT: Forgot to mention they mock Yockey's pseudo intellectualism in Yockey events yet watch Breadtubers who use the same sort of language. This is despite Yockey apparently being insanely crass outside of his lefty meme of a book (IE the way they represent Bormann basically saying fuck every other sentence). Also forgot the Steampage attachment.

I heard that Hall could become LibSoc in a optional path, but the funniest path is that the devs managed to control themselves and make LibSoc hall be a meh president rather than a ultra-overpowered one.

Color me surprised they have self restraint not to jerk off a LibSoc USA path so far, though the other L-NPP 70s presidents will probably be that. They seem to suck off the NPP-C for now.

Also, what about Humanist Tomsk, they are overpowered in spite of the Bastillards actually building up a army and war industry.

Probably because Humanist Tomsk conscripts literally every abled body man and woman in Russia. Something somethings 18th century France LARP.
 
We are keeping werbell, so why not.
May as well put Big Boss in.
Yeah, the "sane path", but i'm sure they won't do it for Yockey
Because dah Nazis are bad guys. The entire mod's broken premise is that totalitarian regimes inevitably collapse, despite China being a thing. Even Speers Victory is painted as bad despite ending slavery and potentially creating a proto-EU if he goes along with setting up native led states (Which objectively is the sane decision) under German guidance akin to the Warsaw Pact because it quote, "Legitimizes fascism". I wouldn't be surprised if 70s Independent or even reformist puppet Speer hits a railroaded FU like Bormann gets where magically everything goes to shit.
 
I think it might be a bad end because most nazi war criminals won't be punished, but considering even in real life most of they didn't got what they deserve, it's still better than the total annihilation that other paths give.
I think they should do like TWR and give something like Hans Oster.

Reformist Speer gets railroaded in success, he's supposed to get overthrown by the gang of four and germany becomes somewhat of a democracy. NatSoc Speer gets railroaded in failure, and fash Speer is the one that legitimize fascism because he's successful (and will stay somewhat successful). This is what the Germany team lead, Moyme, planned. It can and will probably change, but that was the state of the lore before I left.
