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

[Rome's rightful successor]

Here. His wording is a bit different after rewatching, but it boils down to the same principles. Another thing, the attempt at making the world's factions morally gray was justified in an interesting way.

I wonder if Sarmatia has made any follow up statements after playing hoi4 Kaiserreich and what his thoughts are on Kaiserredux and other hoi4 mods are.

Those last two columns cause a sudden shift from "wow, that's a lot of subideologies, why the fuck do you need that many" to "this mod is never fucking coming out". Something tells me that the devs got lost in the sauce when coming up with all of that.

This shit will probably never come out but I really wanna see some of these in action. Specifically “Post Jihad”, “Hallucinogenism” and “Dead Water”

While to a degree i find this level of autism interesting, realistically all of these will be different coats of paint on the same 4 ideologies. if it ever comes out will be neat to play for a bit.

Mod genuinely looks cool, kinda sad its never coming out.

probably not that relevant but: a few nights ago i had a series of dreams, and in one of them i met panzer. he had ugly knotted hair and a fuckton of makeup on, looking a bit like a homeless contrapoints. i cant remember specifically what we were talking about but i remember calling him a faggot.

who knows maybe it'll manifest into something.

Let us know if you have more dreams like this

I don't get why they can't understand that subideologies are you something you add after the mod has been out for sometime.

I think i said this before, but i think super events in general are really cool and can add greatly to a mod, while you can over do them, the aura some of those give off just set the mood so well.

Steam Workshop::Kaiserworld - A KaiserreduX Sequel - DEMO

steamcommunity.com

The Kaiserworld mod demo just came out!

This is a meme mod right ? It's got Boris Johnson as a communist dictator

It's Kaiserredux meets Red World. It's technically the first Kaiserreich sequel mod to officially come out. Think about that for a second.

I always find it funny it when autists treat political ideologies like Pokémon.
Getting Den Xiaoping Transhumanist Thought is the equivalent of catching a shiny.

Kaiserreich's current mod page was released on September 24th, 2018. Kaiserworld released on March 15, 2023. Modding autists had over 4 years to make their own fanfiction sequel mods, yet we've seen no fruits of labor until now. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record now, but it's genuinely astonishing how awful modders are at getting their shit ready to be put on the workshop.

The HoI4 modding scene seems overrun with ideas guys, people who can't put anything together but can balloon a mods scope to massive proportions, every mod seems to need a tard wrangler to keep it together and if they lose said wrangler you get modern TNO.

Actual modders (ie. people who can code a mod) are a minority in the hoi4 modding scene, millions of people want to draw nice icons or write a novel but very few are willing to put in the time and effort to learn how to mod the game. A friend of mine made a mod that is popular enough that every few weeks I'll see someone join his discord and ask if they can help but its never coders always people who want to insert their spergy writing that is often contrary to his own vision for it.

Because a vanilla Kaiserreich 'Cold War' scenario is pretty boring no matter how you slice it. It's either Third International vs Reichpakt or Entente which is just a repeat of OTL's Cold War anyways. Kaiserworld is a spin-off of Kaiserredux and therefore doesn't have any of that vanilla baggage since it can basically be whatever you want beyond that paradigm.

I am begging, pleading with these autists to stop wasting their time on this shit and just write Stephan King-esque short-story anthologies.
I WILL read your short story on whatever the fuck 'Dead Water' or 'Annihilationism' and all the other crackpot shit, but I am not indulging in map games.
