So out of fairness I thought i'd give star trek infinite another chance just to confirm it really is the trash it appeared to be during my fed run. Note that one of the major issues with playing fed is the game is hard coded so that you can't declare war on any of the other factions of minor powers, barring certain specific liberation war situations. Kind of hamstrings you in a 4x game

So this time I tried playing as the cardassians. For awhile things were going alright, if slowly. Spent a few hours stabilizing my economy and expanding my industrial strength. Concentrated entirely on internal stuff and didn't attack anyone and kept the majority of my fleet near the romulan border in case the AI tried to get the jump on me. I even released bajor as it tended to be more trouble than it was worth

.....and then the federation suddenly declared war on me. Something the game is literally hardcoded to not be possible, and poured half a dozen fleets over the border and steamrolled me. Nice one paradox. Not only does the AI manage to do something that isn't even supposed to be possible - and something you literally cannot do if you are playing fed but it chooses to attack the only faction who isn't acting threatening and invading each other and minor powers

Nice one paradox. Always great to see the AI do something its supposed to be hardcoded not to be able to do. Way to fuck up my playthrough. Oh and 3 of my 4 fleets randomly disappeared in the middle of a battle with a message popping up saying they had disappeared and would reappear in a few months

WHAT?! I'm glad I spent all those resources and all that time building up fleet of galors only to have that happen when fighting ONE FUCKING FED MIRANDA

and paradox wonders why its financial situation is currently fucked. That game isn't just trash its a fucking embarrassment

It never ceases to amuse me, that you can 100% get a better and more authentic experience by just using a mod for Stellaris than you can with the actual Star Trek game.

Also it might be the case that the Federation is supposed to attack you, if you play an 'instigator'. Maybe Paradox learned from how people bitched about playing a democratic germany makes nothing happen in HOI4. So they made it that if you play one of the races meant to start shit, and haven't by a set time, you get attacked instead. If so, they took the wrong lesson from democratic Germany lol.

Christ almighty, are there ANY good mods either completed or in development for HOI4? It feels like all of them are just insanely spergy circlejerks.
 
Equestria at War is surprisingly competent and drama free. I believe there is also a submod that reworks the portraits into humans instead of ponies and assorted mythical creatures if it bothers you too much.

There's an add-on I found once on the workshop, entirely by accident, that has some guys from Earth nations get isekai'd into the EaW setting and you can either make peace or commence Total Equine Death.

Escalation 84 is the name, lets you play as the USA, Soviet Union, or a European Super State, Pretty fun mod, lets you play as David Duke and the KKK. Theres also a mod that brings Nazi Germany into EaW too.

Is it still a laggy piece of shit? The last time I played it I was a wee lad, giving my potato pc a heart attack trying to conquer Central America as Mexico. I still remember fascist Turkey being called the Neo-Ottoman Empire and joining Axis all the time and commie China having old Mao as their leader.

HoI4 is always going to become a laggy piece of shit eventually as more and more divisions get inevitably created, though it's not as bad about this as Stellaris.
