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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
IIRC the reason the mod is the way it is simply comes down to the fact that they wanted to actually release the mod sooner rather than later, in order to prevent the fate of many toozer mods, no release ever. I for one would rather take the mod in its current state than a more perfected version a number of years from now, if ever.
A mod that never releases is in danger of falling into an endless cycle of feature creep, and most of the things that the mod lacks, like localizations, event triggers, and focus descriptions (putinist Medvedev's post-war tree has no descriptions, for example) can all be fixed in minor updates later down the line. The mod being released also makes it so that there's more attention, better feedback, and possibility of new moders joining the team

+never ending torrent of rewoooorks, discord admin drama, losing devs to mods actually getting shit done and many more!
 
Extremis Ultimis
I feel like Ultimis kinda loses some of its Schizo cred for featuring fictional leaders, The Patriot Front-Atomwaffen hybrid group in EU doesn't have the same bite to me as being able to literally play as either Patriot Front or Atomwaffen in TFR. No amount of well crafted Hoi4 fiction will be more insane than the real life people who think a nuclear holocaust is needed to make the world better, its just not possible, any attempt to do so will just be a poor imitation of real life.
 
whats the tl;dr on TFR? and all the drama surrounding it
Not too much drama, some 'cord troons were leaking over the mod because its too chuddy. There was also a spat between hypercoaler and the devs over the trailer he made for the mod; devs say hypercoaler put in too many Q references, took too long, and released it without their permission. Hypercoaler for his part claimed devs told him he could release the trailer whenever he wanted and later went back on the deal.
<Reddit space
As for the mod, its pretty good and focuses mostly on gameplay, a lot of focuses and events lack descriptions though. Second American civil war is the highlight, as for the rest of the mod Russia gets to choose between Communism, Fascism and keeping the status quo, regardless of ideology their focus tree is about building up for the Ukraine war which always escalates into EU vs Russia, same goes for France and Germany, there's also post war content and the loser gets to start round 2.
China and Japan fight over Taiwan after America collapses; if China loses, Xi gets replaced either by Maoists, Army backed Nationalists or Liberals, otherwise he stays in power. Regardless of who wins in Taiwan an Asian cold war starts and a few years later China and Japan go at it again on a much bigger scale, this time the loser gets balkanized. Also city fighting is a pain in the ass.

I think it gains alot of schizo cred for implying there is a reality where Extinction Rebellion could ever possibly have any REAL political capital
 
The Fire Rises has some good potential, and it can easily stand up as potentially "the most schizo hoi4 mod" along with red flood and TNO.

My only real gripe with the mod is how unfinished the American CIvil War is. You mean to tell me one of the biggest wars in the mod is missing 50% of its content? So many empty events especially if you do Joe Biden. If you haven't done the "American Caligula" path for Biden you should hold off on it. About literally 95% of content for that path isn't complete, with schizo focuses with no descriptions and blank events. I may have also broke it somehow, because when Barron Trump is supposed to rise up against me literally nothing happened.

IMO they should have had more content before they decided to release it, but its still an interesting mod regardless.

Do the devs plan on any post collapse Chinese content should they lose the GAW? Are they planning on letting Taiwan take over the mainland and reform the ROC?
Admittedly they did rush the mod a little bit so it came right on time for election day. But probably a month or two we'll see some changes.
For me I'm personally more hyped for a proper Mike Ma path in Cascadia.

We can have Rome again, if we smash enough BMW windows.

Reread the whole Atomwaffen thread because of the mod, it's incredible just how deep the rabbit hole goes with O9A and their seemingly limitless connections with other nut jobs. TNO tried so hard to make the Burgundy as dramatically evil, scary and repulsive as possible, but somehow real organizations of schizophrenic satanic pedophiles have their mod team stumped.

I don't think it can get any worse than misanthropes torturing and ritually sacrificing anyone they feel like, who also want to blow up the world.

The crack shack is about to fall, I repeat, the crack shack is about to fall, utter Ralphamale L
 
I got the Vaush one, but I don't think I got the Fuentes one. When does that occur?
I know that it's in-game, as it has been posted in the subreddit, and it has to be at the beggining, as it says that Fuentes is trying to scape towards Patriot Front territory.

So, I looked and it probably isn't in-game yet, but a dev on their Discord posted this
Rousseau turns down Fuentes

Rising alternative conservative Nickolas Fuentes is no stranger to controversies and hits against his character. He is once again in the limelight amongst fellow subversive right-wingers as a laughing stock due to his utter rejection from a potential partnership with rapidly legitimizing Thomas Rousseau. An unintentionally leaked audio clip has made its rounds across the internet. In the recording, you can hear one of Rousseau's advisors asking very diplomatically about Fuentes willing to make an under the table deal to smuggle him across Biden lines to reach New England. A deal to which Rousseau responded juxtaposedly with "That fucking Mexican guido? We have no room for cat-boy whatever-the-fucks in this movement, he can stay over there far away… He's closeted and we all know it, and now is not the hour for these weak men." resulting in the whole room breaking out in laughter. While not only being humiliating to Fuentes, this may also get him into serious trouble within the Trumpist territory he resides in, as an implication that Fuentes desires to fight alongside Patriot Front can be seen as borderline treacherous.

Aren't they fighting for the same cause?

the fire rising gave me a lot of determination, there's about 41 nations already. Development is being continued :)
Info about dvach / eastern european imageboards welcome in PMs, suggest your own nation if you'd like.

Give me subreddits that have a somewhat unique identity or atleast are related to communities like 4chan, kiwifarms, 9GAG, Ifunny, funnyjunk, rdrama. Might add them if the suggestions are good, current subreddits that are nations :
196 (The icons are for this nation, the subreddit is known to be constantly raided by soysluttas and is very left leaning. Good potential enemy.)
Dogelore (Influential for internet culture, has a very unique identity.)
Deepfriedmemes (Same as above, i think everyone here remembers deep fried memes were the thing back in like 2016, 2017, etc. Now gone but i'd like to include it for whatever reason.)
Okbuddyretard (No explanation, basically the poopreddit that made the modern day hyperironic meme. Clings to a relatively unique identity.)

heres a cool gif of a catbird, i might also work on adding a shrekchan themed nation for all the brogres out there. Give me suggestions. Current nation count : 46. Getting close to the ~80 i'd like.

This related to the KiwiFarms HOI4 mod posted here before?

Yes, it has been a project of his since early this year. Also, @Deer, in relation to Dvach/early EE internet culture, I've found Neolurk/Lurkmore to be a pretty decent source short of contacting some slav who's in his mid-30s and was a bit of a loner going to school. The site is in russian, though, so try to search in Yandex for the things that grab your attention the most out of the site and want to deepen your understanding in
