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

EpicGamerMoment said:
The devs have stated the GCW is more like a coup with guerilla warfare than an actual civil war. The KR devs too wish they could make the 2ACW a messy confusing bloodbath but you can only do so much with Soy4.

So Hoi4 modders do know how modern day civil wars are fought they’re just limited by the game

That's certainly not how it goes down in any of the playthroughs I've seen. It's all encirclements with tank divisions.

To be honest I think Victoria 3 might be a better bet for cold war games if they introduce a proper unrest system with asymmetrical combat.

You could increase supply in all German areas or increase the out of supply grace modifier so you would not need a coherent frontline, instead you could have many detatched areas and something resembling the frontlines during the peak of the Syrian Civil War. The issue is that the AI would struggle even more with such a arrangement.

China is the agricultural powerhouse of the Sphere and remains so even after industrializing, nuking it would starve Japan imo.

Never understood why the devs decided to go with this, China has never been agriculturally self sufficient until the very recent modern era. Especially with partisans everywhere and weak government control, China would in fact be a net drain in terms of food supply.
But 'muh breadbasket'.

A little bit of an update on Red Flood: a devblog (Here:Archive) was releasing saying they are reworking France (The star of their mod) and outright canning its hilariously self-destructive anprim path along with some other hilariously edgy stuff, which is major. The most upvoted comment on that post mourning the loss of this, as this was a big pull, along with others fearing the "edgy shitpost" part of the mod is being snuffed out. This too, however, will be gutted from it in time.
Predictably, the dev team started seething and copy-pasting their criticisms in their general chat as a deflection. They wish to be taken seriously, but as much as they want this to happen, they must remember that they are making a mod for a map painter, rather than a book or academic database to learn about the people they are starring in their work.

Some other discourse from the devs, with one rando alleging that this place is behind their "harassment".View attachment 2215097
In short: HoI4 modders will be HoI4 modders, and it's no wonder that Paradox is trying to snub them as much as possible lmao

I honestly did not care that KR went down a more 'realistic' dev path...

But Red Flood? Isn't the whole joke that it's possibly a delusion of a schizophrenic artist? The AnPrim path was hilarious as a joke path that just completely destroys the game (In a good way).

I’m alright with RF Avant-Garde France being a little more grounded. Sure I’ll miss the "ha ha funny anprim" path, but having a game as a multifaceted futurist government that gets faster and faster as the game goes on is just as interesting in my opinion.
That being said, the mod team are a bunch of fags lmao get the fuck over yourselves: relax, it's a mod for a map game not the V. I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station.
The redditors are pure cringe,
buuuut the dev team isn't much better

I guess we will wait for when the inevitable Red Floodredux mod comes out to enjoy it again.

Sydward, you're a subhuman. Stop coping and seething about a rework that didn't even come out.

No one in the RF team claimed to be harassed or even requested to be "taken seriously". Let the devs show their work before being a crybaby here.

Half of these have already been leaked, what use is their report sheet when it just shows how little work they do
New TT leak looks very interesting though

Ngl I only skimmed through. I just got those so figured I would put them here and I didn't remember which ones were already out.

Legend. Thanks mate.

Doubleposting to say of course in the Germany proposal the actual fun paths like Remer, the NeoPagan guy or Fash Speer are barebones while the wholesome chungus Social Democrat path is fully planned out.

Hardly, I was just an onlooker that was curious about the development until the shitshow in their main chat happened. If there is any inter-modder drama, I am not part of it. And for the record, I am not who this new user claims I am.

All those look nice, but for God's sake, who is going to code all those things? To me, it seems impossible that they will able to finish Toolbox Theory.

Just trust the plan bro, the dev team knows what to do, i'm sure there will be no problems whatsoever when that massive blob of an update releases.
