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

Our boy is now 8 years old, quick! Somebody hide him before Pacifica tries to troon him out
Funny, but what are Pacifica and Panzer doing right now? Haven't heard from them in a long while.

what will paradox do when they run out of nations to make focuses for? remake the focuses of older nations? and why focus on latin america instead of the more notable minors like thailand and iran?
Probably make a hoi5. I remember the Hoi4 devs talked about how they have mixed feelings about hoi4 focus tree system mechanics and wouldn't be surprised if they moved away from it in the next one.

I'm having nightmares already imagining how dumbed down HOI5 will be given how awful CK3 and Victoria 3 still are.

Last I time heard, Pacifica was a Paradox employee working that did a Vic 3 event chain, I don't know if they kept him around. Panzer is still on his Gorherja, which is now a CK3 total conversion mod and seems to have been released, altough not fully

Ironic since even they are getting mixed reiews from the DLC and Latin-americans don´t like it.
I think they would rather give Bhutan a focus tree rather than fixing bugs from years like NSB Fascist Russia and etc,but is modern Paradox we are talking about,they need to milk the cow and the dead horse at the same time.
It mainly comes down to both the price, the lack of new features, and the extremely narrow scope of the content.

It's 15$, and it doesn't have any new mechanics, no new equipment designer, no MIOs/international market, no nothing, just focusi, which means that it's already bad because the amount of autists that can make and do make workshop content where even the most obscure and dark horse politician has a massive focus, there's so make events that you might as well be reading the actual newspapers of the time, the custom models are so detailed that you can differentiate the northern mointaneer peruvian division from the souther mointaneer peruvian division because they have slightly different camouflage, is inmense, so Paradox will always come short when it comes to the depth and complexity of pre-existing mechanics.

There's also the fact that only half of south america even got a focus tree, and even then, two countries, Paraguay and Uruguay, share the exact same focus, something they hadn't done since WTT. So we actually have only Argentina, Brazil, and Chile for the south america DLC, pair that with the fact that many of the buffs that you got from those focus trees got heavily nerfed after around two weeks, and that most of them are actually pointless because they are limited to just bullying the other south american countries, instead of doing something in WW2. Basically you have a DLC where there's only focusi, where the amount of said focusi is deficient, their quality is poor, and their feasability dubious, and you get a recipe for disaster
 
soot make a 1950s TNO mod so i can btfo shitlerites as tyumenBVLLS

Is Red Dusk on the Steam workshop? I did a search for it, but all I see is a Russian language mod by the same name.
No, they're still in development, although from what i can tell, they seem to be aiming for a release by the end of this year (possibly earlier??)
Mod got leaked on the workshop by some Furry Pedophile, Apparently this furfag (Who goes by the name Wicked??, not sure) had riled up so much shit, since he was doxxing people allegedly via false DMCA's, that Paradox apparently had to intervene and got steam to term a few accounts belonging to him and his buddies.

The Russian Translation is of the leak, Whether or not the uploader is in with that guy or not is unknown, but it's seemed to either been allowed to stay up or just hasn't been taken down yet.
As i said, the leak ironically did more to help RD as they actually got quite a lot of people joining after finding out that the version uploaded to Steam was leaked.
You can kinda find traces of this whole debacle in the Red Dusk Discord, But to sum it up, Apparently this guy was going around stealing mods, editing them poorly and releasing them on the Workshop, Ice Cold etc.. were all run by this guy.

On top of also spamming Loli Porn to people along with Gore, he would also launch false pedophile accusations against seemingly anybody, Red Dusk were victims of this along with the Fuhrerredux team, Age of Imperialism etc.. All of these claims apparently were forged screenshots using alts.
This guy has spent an autistic amount of time apparently doing this shit, which is evident if you ask literally any of the mods that were targeted as they seem to continue being harassed from time to time. The entire thing is a shitshow to read into.

TLDR; Russian Translation is Unofficial, Furry Pedo did too much autism and got Paradox's Attention

As stated, it's something that can be traced and you can find all sorts of shit in regards to this debacle.

Funny you should ask that: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...on-2d-art-announcement.1685738/#post-29678054

Today, we are excited to announce our first-ever Content Creator Pack (or CCP for short) for Hearts of Iron IV which releases on the 10th of June. This is something we have previously done for Cities: Skylines and Crusader Kings. The pack is created by modders and published by us.
I am proud to announce, with the support of Paradox, our upcoming CCP Content Creator Pack – Soviet Union 2D Art which will soon be for sale for $3.99.

tl;dr, Paradox hired modders to make 2d assets as a cosmetic pack.

If this was just a random pack Paradox made and threw up on the store I'd shit talk it, but since it's made by modders who get paid for each sale I'll give it a pass personally. I'm not buying this shit, but I hope the modders make a decent chunk of change from this. Inb4 this leads to Paradox releasing "official" total conversions on the Workshop. Excited to pay 20 bucks for TNO 2.0
 
SOOOOOOOOOOOOT make a culture/population dlc so i can genocide all the germans and replace them with russians

Apparently there is a lot of hate being thrown to the modding devs

The remake option is probably what they're gonna do since the teaser they just dropped seemed to heavily imply that they're reworking Germany.
 
Crusader Kings 3 total conversion mod
From what I've read, Godherja sounds like total slop that has a really small community of what I can only assume to be Panzer's remaining groupies and hanger-ons for some inexplicable reason.

It's a fantasy setting mod for CK3 that is full of troon shit like from Baldurs Gate 3 (the main 'God' of that universe is apparently non-binary and despite it being based on mediveal Greece, is full of heckin' wholesome lesbians and gays) and it's basically the apex of Panzer's 'wow life sucks we should all just die' nihilism like how old TNO was where the best outcome was the world nuking itself because dem' chuddies won WW2. Except this time it's the world inevitably collapsing to some Dark Magic Eldritch invasion or something, I didn't really read the TV Tropes page that much.
 
Why do these toozer mods always use TV Tropes as if this were their mod's blog/old-school game manual? There's already a Hoi4 wiki and another wiki made just for the mods of that game, CK3 should be the same
TV Tropes seems to be the cancer killing game-specific wikis, sadly. Every new game wiki these days only has info about raw stats and gameplay in a game, but if you want lore then it's in a fucking TV Tropes page. Whatever happened to conglomerating both the lore and the gameplay info into one cohesive wiki?
 
I mean the mod is literally a 3-way Nazi-Jap-American Cold War but it seems like the current focus right now is giving fucking Uruguay, 20+ year content with super detailed elections and visual novel personalities for every president candidate.

LATAM content should've never been more than Brazil, Argentina, Cuba and Colombia, maximum. Each of those four would at least have a special gimmick, wtf is all the focus on Uruguay from the TrooNO devs?
Its an issue with all mods and brought up here. Strictly speaking everything should focus on major and secondary and minor powers least if at all. I am sorry your shitty basically a micronation country was never relevant. Cry about it. Its an issue you see a lot. For example takie Kaiser Reich. They only recently did a Germany rework. You know the main fucking character of their mod? Before that they gave Haiti and Paraguy a fucking giant ass focus tree. Someone here once pointed out the issue is these mods hire randos from these obscure countries and their nationalism flares up. So they want to give their home country a focus tree that ends up restoring the Roman Empire.
