It's a larp simulator with no substance. The only reason anybody plays this piece of shit (including myself) is as a Skinner-box to look at your larp world where le epic schizo path heckin' sucseederinos.

Hey, I don't, I play because I like WW2 sims - I just happen to alt+F4 whenever the war actually starts for some reason and then a month later question why I quit that

It probably is the best ww2 grand strategy game out there as far as mass appeal goes. Extremely easy to pick up and learn with a national focus tree system that makes recreating the historical situation of the war easy. Hoi3 and Hoi2 had a hard time recreating history with their more primitive events systems. Its military system gets alot of hate, but I actually think it does a good job. Casual players can draw a line and click advance, while more advanced players can micro.
“An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity" -Terry A. Davis
and all that.
I personally miss the economic system of Hoi2. For every unit made the next would be faster so you were incentivized to not change things up. Centralized economies got access to more of their economy for military production while free economies could more easily get the faster unit production buff when switching to producing better units. This abstraction of sliders best represented the pre-war buildup. Germany centralized more of its economy for a rapid buildup, but spent the rest of the war struggling with an inefficient centralized economy that had to constantly retrofit old equipment. Hoi4 just represents the buildup with free factories, but the blunt reality of history is that the UK alone had a bigger economy and more efficient economy than Germany. Germany just dedicated more of it towards war before 1940.
Pretty much every Paradox game was better off with sliders.

$oY4 and Crusader Cucks 3 are easily the most tranny infested Paradox games, just go to any modding discord and look at the blatant mental illness being emanated. Special mentions go TNO, Elder Kings 2 and Godherja. Godherja was made by the faggot american polish PinkPanzer that used to larp as a stormfag until he dated a jewess, then he went full liberal. Eventually he got ousted out of TNO, a mod concept he basically took from a gay roleplay thread on Facepunch because he was caught with furfag and loli shit. TNO got taken over by a tranny named Pacifica, that actually got outed for grooming kids too, but the disgusting creature hid for a while then came back, and Parakikes hired him to work on fucking Victoria 3. Panzer, seeing this and seething, because the reason he's been making these faggot mods is so that he can get hired by Parakikes, opted to also troon out in the hopes that he'll get there one day. He's also been creating modding "cooperatives" on Discord with the intent of basically controlling the modding community, which has been unfortunately successful.
Tangentially related, Anbennar, a fantasy mod for EU4 that was pretty interesting is now getting corrupted by troons too.

R The modding community went from autists doing passion projects on the forums to pedophile trannies on Discord poisoning everything. Fuck Paradox

Infested, but also don't forget that CK3 also has a literal tranny in it, making Heliogabalus 'female'.

It's been a while, but I'll go over what I remember.
Genociding monstrous races now giving you relation penalties even with the civilized races.
The next part is quoted from one of their teasers from ages ago:
Dragons are shapeshifters. Dragons have no gender and do not need another dragon to create eggs, they can however identify as male, female, etc and shapeshift to have whatever appendages you need
As they can shapeshift and often hide in plain sight, they can impregnate other races to create half-dragons, etc (this is also the source of dragonblooded sorcerers, who derive their magical abilities due to that draconic ancestry)
Dragons get stronger with age
They have natural affinity with magic
Removing cool concepts like the leechmen, adding shit like tranny robots to the setting

The Chinese are infamously thin-skinned when it comes to any portrayal of China in history games to be fair.
It's more LatAms and trannies.
HoI4 isn't simple. No one would look at it at a glance and think it's a simple game. It's easier to grasp than, say, Darkest Hour, because National Focuses puts things on rails and the AI is braindead and all you have to do to run laps around it is know how to use paratroopers, but someone can grasp that basic strategy and still have no clue how naval combat and design works or why their logistics are crumbling because HoI4 has so many moving parts they're practically impenetrable to anyone not willing to invest a hundred hours.

To be fair, I was referring to the game before they bloated it with DLC. Stopped playing a while ago.
Although in a way it is kinda clever. Hook them with a simple game and then make it more autistic while charging them along the way.

In addition:
Orc = BBC and more blatant by the day, it's always had an underlayer of greenskins being literal niggers (green slavery is reparations for their crimes is a exceptionally based and also interesting take) but as the addition of yet more race mixing content for Escann update after update shows it's being taken a bit too on the THROBBING GREEN COCK IN HUMAN WOMB direction.
Did you know the greenbois dindu nuffin btw? they're really bending over backwards for that one with newish lore, causes some real comedy.
Yeah they murder raped half the civilised world to death but it wasn't a genocide or anything like that they won that land through honourable duels fair and square, they also won all the food which is why so many humans starved to death, it wasn't murder those were HONOURABLE D U E L S. Those locals weren't driven out as refugees they simply lost their property to DUELS, its just their CULTURE okay?
Harpies are still rapey but there's constant efforts to "adapt" this (it's not RAPE rape! they're SYMBIOTIC!) birb wife is on borrowed time.
The entire continent of Sarhal below the Salahad desert, futa gnolls 8 foot kangz dindu nuffin manlets it has it all, and is also Wakanda on
Hobgoblins have gone from rigid nazi samurai Ottomans to... le wholesome chungus "self discipline is the path to self enlightenment" just like the rest of Haless and is utterly wholesomewashed, no based oriental despotism for you (unless you play Bianfang but they're the designated chuds).
Did I mention the BBC analogue? There's also the actual literal BBC in Bussylar. It was originally a throwaway line about the founder of the local dynasty nabbing herself a kang husbando harpy style but it's been expanded to the entire Iberia equivalent being lightskin negroids because the locals highly value swarthiness due to it's "regal associations" (it's okay kang husbando brought his harem of boys with him so plenty of BBC to go around!), this is despite them being ethnically aryan not-Egyptian Jews originally which makes it extra funny.
The excessive girlbossing; it was good when it was just trolls and a few elves and mages in general doing it because it made sense (muh magic being an equalizer and all that) but it's getting to the point now where 80% of anybody relevant not only a vagina but is also a blatant self insert for some AGP and it's taking a bit far in my early-modern period simulator; the former ruler of half the world? girl elf, other former ruler? teenage girl elf, most relevant political figure of the last millennium? teenage girl, second most relevant figure and also prophet of new religion and also techno pope? slightly older elven version of a teenage girl, all very immersion breaking.
Did I mention the futa gnolls? futa gnolls, the guy who did all the lore for Sarhal (GNOLLZONE) was an open chicks with dicks lover and never even tried to hide it, thankfully his "vision" for not!africa east of the manlet zone got canned (RIP not!jesus but bLACK fallen angel) because he spent years doing no work and instead coooming in private channels so eventually Jay got fed up and kicked him, think he's back on the dev team now though.
But yeah it's in final stage rotbloat right now IMO there's still juicy good parts not yet tainted (Bulwar in general, anything with ogres, the Dwarovar) but nothing good is going to make it now, only a matter of time before what is good starts getting "readapted".

Holy shit it has gotten so much worse than I knew, I guess lesson learned, never do any kind of creative work as a consensus, because eventually it's gonna get hijacked from under you.
Anbennar and After The End are the biggest tragedies of Paradox modding.

Forced faggotry in the mod that they actively took out of the configurable rules of the game as in you can't disable the faggotry being accepted by everyone, developers are the worst kind of psychotic leftoids. They're infamous even among Paradox modding communities for how cunty they are.

Having had the misfortune of having dealt with them, I can very much corroborate. Probably the most possessive of their code, assets and mechanics, not to mention extremely snippy with the public.

This is simply untrue.
Previous iterations were almost hardcoded for certain events to occur to the exact tick in-game based on AI behaviour. The only issue historically was the course of the war itself, as it should be.
Depends, in my experience. Largely to do with modern history matching the party's history the CCP enforces, and then cultural depictions matching popular literature.
They don't really care about historical fiction so long as modern China is represented as a stable state rescued by the CCP (for government) and that characters in, say, the Three Kingdoms era match whatever Master Fi Xu Big Dong wrote in 13,431 BC.
They get very spergy though, like if NeoFAG had one billion members.

Looks like the biggest issue for Chinese is that Jeets get to core Tibet, while none of the Chinese paths has that option.

Speaking of Anbennar is Venail still a thing ? Or did it get axed/ pozzed?

they get to core shit from Shangai to the fucking Meditarenean in some autistic "Silk Road Empire" larp. The chinks are right to be pissed, the disappointment is in everyone else not telling them how retarded this is

Still there, and no in-game changes, but I don't follow the development Discord so no idea if they're planning to poz them or Aelnar, and haven't gotten around to putting it in game yet.
