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

Tbh I dont see Mikhail Oktán attacking Germans his whole idea is that He doesnt give single shit about Russia and just want to get every Shekel out of it. And war against major power wouldnt be profitable. So unless he is planned to take money and fuck off somewhere to retire or Germany dies (Heydrich/ failled Goering..). I dont think his Russia will invade RK Moskva.

the most hilarious thing is that the TNOtards would rush to protect the devs saying that the "Paradox AI is dumb" completely ignoring that the devs have all the tools to make so the AI takes certain decisions and event options to complete a "minigame" of which TNO is filled.

Uhmmmm feels like gameplay wasn't the mod's focus after all...almost like these people don't really like videogames or something... Maybe it has something to do with wanting to create a wholesome political fantasy... Uhmmmmmmmm nah must the retarded paradox AI.

Paradox AI is retarded, though. As in literally leaving holes in their front line you can move units through.

The Great Trial would be a lot cooler if TNO didn't puss out and force the nuclear war fail state

I'm not sure how global thermonuclear war is pussying out. The total opposite, really.

What I would like to see, though, is tactical nuclear weapons and a full WMD system with a ladder of escalation. Maybe post-apocalyptic gameplay even.

at most you will get another Goldwater (Goldwater in TNO is in general a strawman against moderate conservatives and libertarians that are not radical enough to fit in another place)

The developers outright said they wouldn't add Reagan. Bush Sr will probably be added but I don't know how he'll be written.

While they will not add Reagan, Goldwater already fits in their strawman for him since he implements similar policies and the result is the destruction of labor unions in America and a more unstable country.

Also, Even LBJ is not portrayed positively, since he always destroys the popularity of the R-D's no matter what he does.

Well, he destroyed the popularity of the Democrats until Watergate anyway, so at least they got LBJ right.

The thing is, even if LBJ reduces drastically poverty and get Hawaii back, for some reason his popularity always gets raped, with a 18% for Republicans and 4% for Democrats in my game.

One thing that really annoys me about the mod is how Japan controls ports on the US mainland. They had literally no way of securing those. Even a Japanese "victory" should just be domination of some of eastern Asia, with the cold war with the USA being contested over Pacific islands.

i think they needed this so they could have muh american malaise or something, so the Americans in tno actually cared about being defeated by the Japs in spite of a nuked Pearl Harbor already being enough.
At the beginning the mod shows America as being poor as fuck, they needed a justification?

I forgot about that. 1960s America should be much richer than the Axis powers since it has a more functional economic system and doesn't have to hold down massive conquests with its army. Even real world West Germany and Japan which didn't have the Axis corruption and overextension problems had much smaller economies.

The mod developers just really hate America I guess. They also really love Russia. Sablin's libsoc USSR can apparently produce a great power level economy in the ruins of 1970s Siberia.
