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

Man, I sure had a great weekend of touching grass! Sure hope nothing hilarious happened while I was away.

… oh my!

Edit: That was a wild ride to read through. At this point I have no idea what the future of TFR will be. I do feel like a shitty failed coup is rather fitting for TFR though. Guess EaW is back to being the gold standard for mod stability.

Speaking of which, TNO Community lead Corn is mad at KX for actually being a good mod.

not to ballwash TrooNO but that dev was probably rapid-firing messages left and right and not reading whatever that guy said, cuz at this point beef between KX and TrooNO is so old that it's more closer to '129 Powerline Road' being relevant than right now. Wouldn't even be surprised they buried the hatchet since there really isn't much to base off the drama aside from KX being the 'wacky' mod while TrooNO is TrooNO.

Well, first off all. The mod is absolute dogshit, there is very little quality stuff being put in there and seriously outdated, they haven't put any effort in some of the countries that formed part in the Entente. Case in point, the Russian Empire has a fucking awful focus tree, like 80% of the military part of the tree is just research bonuses that to make things worse, the majority are just 70 day focuses, which makes the experience of playing as them very slow and boring.

And you know the worst thing about it?, it was done on purpose, because the original focus tree got reworked almost entirely to "avoid controversies" regarding the war of Russia-Ukraine, but in reality is because the devs are Reddit-tier libtards who get easily offended and they ban you from their subforum if you criticize them. They don't want people playing as Russia so they purposefully crippled their focus tree stop people from playing them. It's not like the other countries are different though, the Ottoman Empire has a broken rebellion system that it's very difficult to avoid which makes historical gameplay a miserable experience to go through.

This is the logo of their Discord, to give you an idea. Yes, you're seeing it right, they use the tranny flag for a WW1 mod.

I'd hard disagree about the mod being absolute dogshit (still dogshit in many ways like) but it's still one of my favourite mods to play (but that's not saying much as I dislike most HOI mods, KaiserReich + TNO and their consequences have been a disaster for HOI4 moding, and yes I know KR is pre Hoi4). The focus trees aren't that bad, per se (but I don't really play for focus trees ngl. If I was making a mod I'd just make them a ton of blank icons). France and Britain's are ok I guess but my god the American, Japanese and Russian trees are awful. After doing a Russian Civil War game, I basically went nope after seeing how terrible the Red Army path was (I ended up at war with both the Entente and Central Powers after Brest-Litovsk in 1917). The only other path I did that was actually decent was the southern volunteer army. The funnest part of it was joking about doing the Wagner march throughout Russia during the civil war, which worked because it was South Russia. Oh, and the path lets you invade Ukraine so hey!

Granted, the path did have a shit ton of problems. Like the ability to proclaim Russia when victorious BUT you were unable to core all of Russia (go figure).

Now, the mod does have a ton of problems. I've mentioned some of them. But another pet peeve is how the mod immediately sets up Kaiser Reich in the event of a CP win. I do understand the significance of KR but my god, not everything needs to be in the service of KR. And again, the lack of post war content really makes it suffer (with it basically being skeleton content). Of course, one could just say "go play KR or base game" but even still. I am also not a fan of how Navy is in the mod, but that's a result of how Navy is in Hoi4 where the AI doesn't do death stacks (You know, with the Fleet in Being concept being the main approach then)

The Great War Redux, Redux anyone?

It's a long gone discord username I once used. you can't trace it back to anything anymore.

I wonder who's left in charge of TNO now? I know there is a Corn and a dev named Mango (imagine eating both at once, that's not a good tasting combo). But who else is left?
Click to expand...
Based on skimming the TNO thread on 4chan every now and then, the ones you care about are the following:
Mango, US and overall lead. He's someone that uses terms like "rethugliKKKan" unironically on Xitter, so that should tell you how fitting he is as US lead and why Nixon and Schlafly are worse than Bormann.
Frost, Britain lead and Mango's #2. He only gets mentioned for bungling a mod named Spartakus and seems to just talk about politics in the Discord 24/7.
Lamounier, the Reich lead. Reworked all of Germany. 4chan believes that he's responsible for most of the war removals in the mod and Germany's plot armor.
Corn, Russia lead and community lead. Mostly known for starting to rework Russia from scratch and getting nowhere with it.

/vst/ also complains about a few other leads a lot too but they're less important. QuoProQuid is Mango's #2 on America and another Democrat activist, RaPop often gets mocked for failing to release Brazil after three years, and one of their moderators named Kateryna is a local lolcow for getting caught posting in the TNO thread a bunch of times.

These are the most notorious leads on modern TNO. No one else ever seems to get mentioned so they're probably just there. The result of their rule has been captured by one of their anons in the following depressive comparison of the release and current versions of the country select screen:

I mean, as best as I can tell, all that's happened is that they've defenestrated an exceptionally annoying gooner retard.

I've certainly seen worse outcomes from Discord drama. Which is all to the good. I like TFR. It's like the only big total conversion besides EaW that isn't following the exceptionally annoying TNO trend of trying to depriortize war in a fucking war game

And as for the Hearts of Iron 4 modding community. Please forgive this man.
I know that we live in a world where Christian morality along with any sense of Christendom (especially in the west) doesn't exist anymore.
But please, as a Christian I ask you to forgive him after all of this is done.
I know it's hard after seeing your favorite little part of the internet gets seemingly ruined.
I beg we can be at peace again soon.

Well Lent is the section of the church calendar prioritizing forgiveness, so I can't argue against that. He should change his online handle from Czar to Saar though.
