If they had actually done this it would have been such a gangster move. It would be great if the smug TNO devs got publicly humiliated.
Nah, they only play that with Road to 56 on. The player base might play it with Black Ice for the challenge or go on to play the march 1945 Endsieg ultimate victory start date so they can play their ultimate Steiner fantasy.
Mods are to HOI4 is what fire was to the cavemen that discovered it. It lifts those out of chilling darkness into bright warmth.
I don't blame them, Rome. With proper planning and game knowledge, any major country is a walk in the park. You've got to dial up the difficulty sliders so the odds are stacked against you to find some challenge in general, and then to find difficulty in some particular case, play as some small or industry-deprived country. Playing France against buffed Germany, or the White Army without sabotaging the country as Stalin first, seem to me the vanilla challenges you can opt for if you don't want the game to be a bore. If mods spice it up in some other way, all power to you.
Not even majors, minors are pretty easy if you find a way to join Axis early and cap France with paratroopers (they don't put air up if Germany isn't in the war)
Lazar Kaganovich? In the 80s? What? Unless thirty years of Khrushchev-Brezhnev political culture have been undone, how in fuck would a Stalinist vanguard, bitter as he lives his last years, return to prominence? Even the possibility of rehabilitating his sole image was thrown out the window. Lazar had grown so disenchanted with post-Stalinist Sovietism it's unlikely he was even close to being in the right place at the right time for a political return, which is usually how non-persevering statesmen occasionally make it back to the arena. For a Stalinist to return, Stalinism itself must've returned beforehand.
I don't think it's necessarily that you get him the 80s but he's a path for the soviet union when you purge Beria and Stalin dies.
they have a ton of shit for the US, mainly alternate presidents such Pat Robertson being one of them
Do they actually do anything interesting or is still the same thing where you take a focus then use a decision to get a law passed that gives a miniscule buff?
Probably some alternate shit that are events, unless the update has a functioning House and Senate which is unlikely, but there are probably some foreign policy differences though, the devs haven't revealed that much.
Fucking remove everything that made the mod cool and unique to begin with. Remove the NPP, remove EsoNaz remove Brittany remove everything that makes TNO, TNO.
This is why I care more about the 2nd WRW mod more than base TNO
