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

In non-TNO related news, someone made a post about Great War Redux (a mod based off of the older Great War World War 1 mod) on the Reddit sub r/hoi4modding where users talk about how alternate history content was gutted for whatever reason. Some think the developers got a case of "realism" fever.

I guess i did good and kept stuck in a 1.15 version of the Mod and was just playing very recently.
Why they think this is always a good idea to cut shit and not add stuff.
Everybody complains about MD but atleast they don´t fuck around and cut alt-fun focuses.
I guess in the future we may have a Redux of the Redux for the mod if things keep going like that.
Also seen complains about the production getting fucked and other stuff.

HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYONE FORGET GOEBBELS IN A NAZI-RELATED WORK?!

Cause TNO started as a roleplay on the Facepunch forums. The autistic roleplayers legit forgot about Goebbels. He went through several deaths: First was he died in the 50s after the French Resistance shot up the movie theater he was in Inglorious Bastards style. The second was the Soviet Partisans killed him in Moscow and his one BFF found his dying body but freaked out and never got him the help he needed thus taking over Moscow himself.

Meanwhile the WW1 game the main team is making is still in development on Patreon with no expectation of imminent release.

Any mod that attempts to go for historical accuracy or realism is doomed from the beginning. HOI4 is not a heavy simulationist game, it's a casual GSG first and foremost and suffers hard from railroading gameplay into visual novel shit. The only mod to date to achieve some accuracy is BlackIce, and it's because the guys behind it aren't idea guys and made sure that the game itself facilitated realism, not the constant super events.

MD's problem is taking too long for you to get to the supposed fun alt-history content. It is unreasonably tedious and doesn't even try to distract you with mini games like TNO does it.

Having Goebbels alive again is the only good thing to come fron recent TrooNO. Retarded they killed him off like a little bitch off-screen. Arguably the most annoying thing of the Panzer-era was the "Sledgehammering" of figures Panzer didn't like personally therefore no one was allowed to use in the mod.

"Sledgehammering" was what happened when Panzer forgot to include someone or couldn't figure out a way to work them into the setting.

I much prefer GLR > Yockey but I guess on the contrary this means they popularized Yockey on accident lol

Still can't wrap my head around a "Yockey" presidency. Dude straight up hated America, he would never run for president. GLR, Koehl or anyone actually involved with the ANP would make sense but oh well.

Panzer forgetting Goebbels will never not be hilarious and I will honor duel anyone who says otherwise.

Also Goebbels might have been the ideal candidate to succeed Hitler, so him being gone is a good set up for the GCW, I think.

This is an actual goldmine, thank you. Only a brief search and I've already found cut Manchuko, Burma, Pacifica's CNT, the Philippines, and Italian East Africa. I'm currently searching for India.

The PanzerCrackHouse repo has all the cut Japan trees (Konoe, Kido, Kishi, the transition trees). They are almost totally unfinished skeletons but Konoe and Kishi has some loc. This is especially nice, as the images in the original Japan DD are all gone (they used Discord lol) There's also the DSR skeleton and a free french skeleton.

Maybe Japan can eventually be what it was promised to be.

Unfortunately the 2022 Europa's Narben branch is wiped clean of everything, but there's still the 2021 skeletons and content.

Look's like the leaks of them cutting the SAW and replacing it with the Debrouillez Vous submod were correct.

I can't say I'm that upset. Yeah, this is presumably another several years spent in the dark depths of Rework Hell, but what else is new, you know? The South African War was always a really shit analogy for Vietnam that could only have been dreamt up by Panzer's particular blend of crack cocaine and estrogen
