Lmao, Germany importing infinity Slavs (or Pakistanis if they won the subcontinental crisis), Japan importing infinity Indians from Azad Hind, and America and Free Britain importing infinity Indians from the RoI. A truly cursed timeline.

This happened in real life too, it’s even wackier.

There’s really fringe Germans that are so self-hating they’re termed “antideutsche”. It seems like they’re mostly typical communists/anarchists but they are funny for being for whatever they think will right historic wrongs in really funny ways, like communists who are Zionist and pro-Iraq War. https://www.dw.com/en/strange-bedfellows-radical-leftists-for-bush/a-2145701

Crazy commie Japs went as far as saying “Japan shouldn’t exist” and believing the Ainu people (the ethnic group living in Japan before the Japanese people, they’re still around in Hokkaido) were secretly going to help lead the commie revolution before gassing the Japanese (99% of the country)

The Ainu were Hokkaido only, actually - the main islands used to have other ethnic groups like the Hayato and Emishi, but the Ainu were the only group aside of Ryukyuans who survived as a distinct ethnic culture post-Nara. They're also not really around in Hokkaido; many of the Japanese people in Hokkaido have some Ainu heritage (in the same way a lot of Americans have some Amerindian) but their language is extinct and their material culture is only really revived for a few festivals that involve a good bit of educated guessing from Hokkaido locals.

There was also another group like this called the German Vanguard. It seems that they didn't understand the uncompromising nature of the NSDAP. The leader of the Association of German National Jews, who called for the elimination of Jewish ethnic identity through Jewish assimilation, was sent to a camp to die. Nazi leadership was willing to give some people of Jewish descent the status of Honorary Aryan but not members of an organization that wanted to do nothing but become German.

The story around them is rather peculiar, that much can be said.

Hmm...
In order of least bad to worst
Kaiserreich - Unlike TNO I cannot pin point the exact moment KR4 started going down hill. Kaiserreich is dying of a slow death unlike the others, but it is still capable of pushing out okay-ish updates. The new China update coming up looks promising. But it's a really telling thing that you no longer see new Kaiserreich submods showing up on steam but instead Kaiserredux ones. Kaiserredux has surpassed the original and has more or less become the definitive version of it. And that is why the current state of Kaiserreich feels less depressing compare to the others on the list as there is still potentially new life could be found here and there is always the Kaiserredux version no matter what is done to the KR4 version.

Iron Curtain Cold War - It's been years since your last major update. Come on release all that you've been teasing us since that time. Something major has to be finished by now.

TNO- Like Kaiserreich with Kaiserredux, TNO Rises Again somewhat mitigates the disappointment of NuTNO. TNO was always flawed but it always had potential to be something groundbreaking. Let's reiterate what was promised but never fullfiled:

The Great War Redux - The unfortunate direction this one went in was the most disappointing out of all of these. This was the unofficial World War I mode. Ever since the Russian devs left and got replaced by trannies for some ungodly reason it has gone down hill. German and Russian content gutted, Austro-Hungary gets split in two for some reason among other changes that ruin it, Wish someone could pick up the older version still on the steam page and update that one.

I used to enjoy the mod, but it had so many flaws that time has only made worse. The alt-history paths have been broken for years, even before they started removing them, but even slight deviations from the historical norm don’t work.

For example, let’s say you play as Germany but want to avoid the mistakes of the real Great War. You want to play smart and not get the British Empire involved so you don’t invade Belgium like they did OTL. However, Britain then declares on you anyway because it’s in the focus tree somewhere and there’s no check to see if it makes sense in the overall flow of the game.

The last big update of theirs that I played was the Russian Revolution stuff and I could not for the life of me get that to work properly. Only thing I have seen since is them removing the German alt-hist paths.

I hope someone fixes it one day, there’s a lot of promise in there but the jank is too much.

I've been thinking of doing a full CWIC run from 1949 to 1980 (Again) but I'm holding off until they give the RoC their mainland victory content back and add 80's content. Doesn't their github have their dev versions?

I find it interesting that the Black country in the Americas was the Fascist one in the original TNO.
So much more potential then just doing another white people bad but in the Caribbean narrative.

It was just an OTL copypaste. Papa Doc was basically Franco-but-Black and replace his Catholicism with Haitian Vodou.

He really hated mixed race Haitians and the few remaining White Haitians (yes, they exist) on his side of the island but funnily enough considered Poles to be okay, even calling them "White Negroes" or "Honorary Negroes".

His regime was probably the last time Haiti was an even remotely functional state.

Don't know, but I want them to be a Japanese ally. Their shared hatred of the US and Cuba would make them friendly with the Dominican Republic.
 
You have to be a little bit mental to play HOI4. However, HOI4 attracts some really mental people.

Some nutter in the comments actually made a mod to accommodate his neurosis.
This mod replaces the cavalry icon with a shark (both the division icon and the battallion icon in the division designer).
It also "removes" the loading screen from No Step Back that features cavalry and the loading screen from Götterdämmerung that features a horse statue (it just replaces them with a different loading screen so that one might come up a bit more often now).
Also just added a bunch of other changes. Check the changelog.

It (at least currently) doesn't change 3D-models of cavalry units but the game has an option to hide 3D units.

Why make this? Because someone asked for it.

And if you were wondering, yes, the OP is a tranny.
