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

Siberia is getting replaced.
>A combination of the worst concept of an African warlord stage, Donetsk & Lugansk “Republics” and black market. The overall narrative arc should be about the horrendous process of deforming what once was working and hopeful into more and more ugly and poor iterations of themselves. Society, quality of life, whole cities - even with the Siberian Plan fruits all of this slowly rots away with the Central Siberian warlord expansion phase serving as a loud reminder of this and excelerator of this

>There are way too many secrets in Novokuznetsk for anyone to sleep comfortably. Countless undocumented crimes lie undetected because there is no one to document them. If someone defeats Novokuznetsk then they are in for an awful surprise

>Use vaguely Communist symbols, no elements of Far-Right ideologies

>Remembering Lenin, Stalin and Bukharin but getting all the facts wrong


Holy shit this is funny , they just can't stop seething at the Current Thing

I don't believe these leaks, there was another leak posted earlier on this thread about them replacing the NPP and just making US politics generic republican vs democrat, yet not a word has come of this, a user actually proposed something similar to this on the sub and the devs said nothing and it was shot down on the sub. Also another leak about how they were removing Burgundy and GO4.

In that leak there was the supposed ''madagascar update'' that just got released, so yeah its still possible

I like to believe that every leak is real, but the churn of TNO teams is so high that nothing ever actually comes of it.
 
Removing Siberia while keeping the 353536 Komi contents would be hilarious, can't wait for the final update to just put the game on auto where it sets an all wholesome libsoc ending
I theorized a while ago that every country in TNO will have just two endings. Wholesome libsoc ending with puppies and rainbows or ultra cursed fascist nazi dystopia that will punish the player.
 
A new BTWH toozer dropped this past weekend, starring that mightiest and most mightily important of states: New Mexico.

Interestingly, this may be one of the few states where the devs would rather take the side of the feds (a conservative military junta, remember) over both the revolutionaries and the democratic state government, which is so retarded that it won't declare martial law even as the beaners have seized 1/4 of the state in the name of punting the Anglo interlopers out of 'their' land. As they've uncovered to their horror, rebel leader Reies Tijerina actually takes his Catholicism seriously and was apparently a fan of Francisco Franco, who they despise for crushing the (priest-murdering, nun-raping, statue-of-Jesus-shooting) leftists of the Spanish Civil War. The feeling may even have been mutual from Franco's end.

Incidentally, NM is not an 'MVP' state, meaning it will at best only have skeleton content if the mod ever releases. The MVPs as of the last time anyone asked about the list were the Denver Government (the main junta), California Federation (Cali commies), Baltimore (returning democratic exiles) and Minnesota (wholesome 100 socdems under Hubert Humphrey) and there doesn't seem to be any real reason as to why New Mexico should make that list, which so far comprises actually important and mostly at-least-marginally interesting tags. So Idk what the point of this was.

And some other miscellaneous recent BTWH stuff...

Tl;dr Laura/Logan Couch was such a cunt that the other devs were just waiting for a chance to backstab him. At least one other troon dev was sexting him - of course that's the guy who played the Brutus to his Caesar of CHAZ. Also there were teenagers running around on the server then & now, including a different zoomer dev who'd still be a teenager as of this year (about 19 or so, he was 15 when he joined up in '19) according to his own admission.

Neither of them seems to be thought out. Bourbon empire is very strange considering that the Bourbons despised the empire and would never associate themselves with Napoleon. All in all this mod seems to be low-quality, I definitely wouldn't call it one of the best.
napoleon didnt happen in that mod, so calling france an Empire is more of a reference on the dev's part than any serious worldbuilding
 
They're removing Dirlewanger? Did I read that right?
Well there goes the 1000 death events they coded for no fucking reason other than Nazi pedophile rapist bad.

Yes he's a sick twisted fuck, but there's no need to code and waste time on 1000 events.

(Did Panzer take his channel down? He had a video showcasing them all.)
