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

Welcome back, boys. It's good to see you both. As a reminder, /r/TNOmod has an overlap factor of 4.63 with /r/aspiememes, meaning TNO sub users are about 4.5x more likely than the average Redditor to post in a subreddit dedicated to relatable memes about one's autism.

Good to see you as well. Also I could already tell
 
Welcome back kiwis, it's been business as usual. Pcola is still trying to butt in for attention and paradox still dilating over the 57,129th EDGY LOLOCAUST mod.
I never liked Burgundy, not because it exists but because of the weird Bond villain nuke the world stuff. Himmler was horrible but he didn't want to do that. Keeping a smaller Burgundy and just having it as an agrarian shit hole under SS rule would be fine.
The Bond villian bit is because it was literally written by actual 14 year olds that take a glance at someone's character for two seconds and writes it like an Ao3 fanfiction. Still really fucking dumb why Himmler would want to nuke the 'Aryans'.
 
TNO in its current state is extremely buggy and like Kaiserreich they refuse to do hotfixes, which means that bugs, old and new, have been accumulating for almost a year now. I've tried a game and it was literally unplayable for me.

For me it'd depend on whether the patch includes a full bug fix or not. If so I'll play a game, if not, than nah.

Refusing to do hotfixes is honestly incredibly dumb, I can understand TNO dev team not doing it for the obvious reasons, but why KR doesn't do it really eludes me.

They probably don’t want their players to sperg out over broken saves
 
I thought Italy would be forced to keep the monarchy for railroading purposes. Of course these retards can't just depose Umberto and need to indulge their weird fantasies of killing random royalty. Reminds me of the Mosley fails to take power events for Kaiserreichs delayed British update.

All these fucking events are just weird circle jerking fantasies over long dead historical figures, actually shocked they don't drag Enoch Powell's name in the mud more because he opposed mass immigration from the colonies into Britain.
Italy devs seem to be TNO's version of KR CSA devs. In that its the most blatantly communist infected and is just circle jerks. for a mod that prides itself on realism they never really explain how Italy can go from fascist to communist. I can understand it going democratic as it can make kinda sense for a regime to liberalize but not going from one extreme to another just cause the devs think the other extreme is wholesome Chungy.

IIRC I swear I saw a comment that outright stated Italy has like 4-5 Duce fascist leaders but 9 possible commie ones. I would not even mind if it was more like KR or TWR that basically say its not meant to be entirely realistic but for gameplay purposes. The issue is TNO faggots like to claim their mod is a realism simulator.

You are correct. It was all in the leaked Red Italy doc.

And I agree. I don't mind more content, but at least admit it's all for fun/gameplay purposes and not realism. TNO devs want to have their cake and eat it.
 
This is becoming a reoccurring thing. KR has always had a leftist bent. I won't even say a monarchist or Wheraboo bent as the unironic ancoms and syndies tend to get them banned by kvetching to the jannies. This recent phase seems to be leftists trying to bite off more than they can chew by trying to attack normies now (people that follow actual ideologies like liberalism and conservatism than fringe beliefs). As there's a lot of posts like these either made by ancoms trying to say how the Entente are evil reactionaries trying to destroy wholesome democratic socialism or Entente people doing the above taking the piss of these larpers who you know damn well would go full Stalin if given a chance. Instead of telling the retards to stop soying about make believe socialism the jannies now just lock threads of anything critical to it in the mod.

Classic case of a community in Stage IV.

Even hinting that Kaiserreich has a lefty bend gets you downvoted into Oblivion and several jannies and a dozen faggots telling you how actually Kaiserreich has a right-wing bias because of all the monarchies and shit. The fact the sub hasn't exploded into political infighting is a testament to the work of their autistic jannies and even more autistic userbase. These internet slapfights between autists sperging about politics always end up locked with all posts deleted anyways.

It is scary though how many of their lefties are insanely self-righteous about their ideology, it's worse than the unironic tankies there who advocate killing people somehow. The tankies are honest I suppose.

This is always common. Leftists feel the need to be persecuted even if they have total control. I remember being told the same thing from a socialist who I used to work with on a mod. Maybe when it was 2016 and 2017 KR but those days are long since passed and ever since 2018 the syndie bias has just grown.

As examples for those not keeping up the Entente got like its third nerf. Canada used to have a manpower poll of roughly 5 mil. This is now 900K which was done for the express purpose to make the UOB and COF easier. Their navy got janked to hell while the UOB's got buffed with more ships (to not get ass raped by them). The CSA is already disgusting on its own having some of the best buffs with Jack Reed having a god tier leader trait (All American socialist or something like that). But they're buffing it AGAIN because they're claiming its "realistic" and what the actual outcome out be. Gone are the days when it would be a toss up and they tried to balance it. They're just admitting to the bias now.

Part of me thinks they also do this since the same troons are shit at this game. The number of people still whining about getting assraped as France or the CSA is kind of a testament to this as I actually tested out modern KR CSA and its disgustingly easily to stomp everyone and even WC without getting rid of post CW debuffs. For another anecdote I once used the delete all units command thrice on the CSA in a run where I was playing as Russia just since I wanted someone else to win for a change. The CSA still won as their production and bonuses are that strong and I'd wager I would probably have to keep spamming that command to make a difference.
 
The Entente nerf seems fair to me at least from what I always see in my KR games, UOB quickly gets invaded by Canada and then after the COF has finished burning all it's manpower and equipment attacking the German fort line you get naval invasions that stretch them thin and makes them cap. I agree about the CSA being easy mode though.

Nah it makes it abysmal. The 3I itself is already too OP on its own and Canada needed that extra manpower. I've never seen the Entente actually successfully naval invade since many updates ago. I can say that everyone's experience is different but I always see a victorious 3I and Russia that divide up Europe with the Entente having done jackshit. 900K is abysmal in general for what's supposed to be one of the major players in the mod and 99.99% sure the reason it was done is since trannies who play as England and France kept getting ratioed by having a shit navy.

It always boggled my mind the mental ju-jitsu the devs would do to try and justify Marxist movements flourishing in the TNO universe. Wouldn't it make sense that a successful Operation Barbarossa more or less discredit Marxism in it's entirety in the same way Fascism is a dead ideology nowadays?

It would but the issue is a lot of the devs themselves are tranny commies to begin with as well as the servile fanbase that boot licks them. Though some of them may not be outright commies but just eat the narrative they are less bad. The reason there are so many commies is it fits their mental jerk off session that their revolution and ideology is inevitable. For example reading the Red Italy document the whole premise of how Italy goes communist is the Marxists just hid in the country side Vietcong style and Italy's own ineptness leads to a full on commie coup the populace just accepts.

TL;DR its cope and it would be like making a mod for iron curtain where West Germany or DDR becomes the fourth reich and trying to say its realistic.

The CSA is ridiculously overpowered and the only way to balance it is to provide massive debuffs for commie faggots seizing the Rust Belt as industrial overseers GTFO. No other faction in the forced 2ACW has a chance if the AI doesn't kill the CSA within six months, They've always been slowly buffing the CSA for years now because of their autistic LARP self-insertion (CSA blows up Confederate monuments and allows for Troon surgery in events, not joking). The first big buff to them was ruining Canadian intervention by locking it until a point it is useless to intervene because the Entente ends up wasting too many resources on them. I can only imagine it is so much worse now.

The 2ACW in Kaisrredux is far better, not only because an actual socialist leads the CSA and not some literal who journalist who shilled the commies, but the Huey Long situation suits his politics a lot better. In Redux he carries the Midwest and some Southern states, while the rest of the south goes to Dixiecrats, which is far more accurate to his real-life politics. In Kaiserreich you will see a million autists explain how he played lip service to racism in the South (No shit, but he was far from your average racist southerner) and in the mod can make an alliance with Pelley (Who shouldn't even be a figure in the mod's timeline).

Been a while since I played but even with all their buffs the TI was fucking incompetent as AI and always got steamrolled by Germany and the Entente within 2 years. It's hilarious to think with all these buffs they're still fucking useless as a faction.
