Hoi4 was a mistake.

As a former Paradox fan, without a doubt the game that started it was Crusader Kings 2. That is also when Paradox started to nickle and dime their customers with 5 billion cosmetic DLCs.

Soy4 still has a right wing fanbase it's just the modding communities that suck mainly because they come from the tranny strongholds of reddit and discord
EU IV and Vicky 2 have the best paradox communities tbh

It was when their DLC policy started but CK2 didn't have the huge popularity that Hoi4 did, you don't get this huge shift in the community without the large influx of people that came in after Hoi4.

There is a deranged homosexual with AIDS and anal seepage spamming this thread with gay porn under the guise of being multiple people.

Every time I walk away from this thread, I come back to find it's somehow worse off than before. In all honesty, I don't give a fuck whose asshole was posted on Discord. I'm here to laugh at autists trying their hand at ideological wish fulfilment through HOI4 mods and other related eccentricities. Go shit up your nerd VCs instead.

It's both funny and sad to me that they haven't released a good game since Stellaris in 2016 and even that had to go through 2 years of patches to be playable.

What about CK3? I think its a stepdown from CK2 but I still think its a solid game.

Just personally not a fan. From the dogshit UI to the disgusting 3D character models to the lack of content compared to CK2. It is the only recent PDX game that I bought, but I don't see any reason to play it over CK2.

The newest progress report for Kaiserreich outlines some peripheral changes that will coincide with the Germany update. The two main changes that caught my eye are NatPop Huey Long and the removal of Goering as an option for Mittelafrika.

It has long been the desire of the team to replace one of our most egregious pieces of content in the mod - the Silver Legion/KKK/Pelley path in the American Union State. The content is extremely distasteful, to put it mildly, and is also an objectively terrible path in gameplay - you'll stay in negative stability forever, in general being just a very weak USA, and the only reason to play it relies on the meme factor.
However, this does not mean we are simply removing content without anything to replace it with. A new Authoritarian Democrat path has been created, in which a wing of the America First Party that aligns closer with the establishment comes to power in a countercoup against a growing/perceived dictatorial power grab. Seeking to protect the republic at the heart of the United States of America, they will take action to empower the non-executive branches of government, enforce loyalty oaths from politicians, and take aggressive action against unions.
To make room for this, Huey Long has been shifted into the National Populist ideology slot at game start. While there is much discourse in the wider HOI4 community surrounding where Long's political views should place him, we felt that the National Populist slot fit his initial radical revolt well. Huey Long has risen to prominence in the KRTL through a mixture of paramilitary intimidation, championing a nationalist America first policy, and promising wide sweeping populist economic restructuring of the American economy.
To further elaborate on this concept, we have expanded upon Huey Long's postwar political tree. Most notably, the tree features one mutually exclusive after a large block of shared political focuses. On the right, Huey Long can choose to go all in and focus on enacting his populist visions to reshape the United States of America into his vision. In contrast, Long can also opt to reach out to some of his former allies in the establishment political parties that found themselves on opposite sides in the civil war. This will force him to give up on truly enacting the Share Our Wealth plan in full strength, but will turn the government Authoritarian Democrat in the finisher focus.

The other “big news” is that everyone’s favourite champion of Deutsch-Mittelafrikan fusion cuisine, Hermann von Göring, will no longer be the Governor of Mittelafrika at the start of the game. Putting him in that position was never really in keeping with the way the German Empire actually functioned. The Colonial Office appointed its staff on merit, and wasn’t in the habit of picking candidates from the wider political scene. Similarly, Colonial Governors, as a civilian post, weren’t appointed directly by the Kaiser, as legacy content justifies von Göring’s presence…
Why have we made this change? The current portrayal of von Göring and his administration is a symptom of what might be called “the country we send the Nazis to” disease. His actions are almost laughably evil, and as a result we created a faction of “good” colonialists without mental problems as a counterweight, but their portrayal suffered from the opposite problem, as it veered heavily into whitewashing the historical realities of any colonial project, let alone Germany’s…
But I hope you understand it’s not the most helpful thing for a country whose purpose is to support Germany to randomly go rogue and then die immediately. Mittelafrika is supposed to be an accessory to Germany, not a thorn in its side.
That does not mean that Göring doesn’t show up elsewhere, but I’ll leave it at that!

"Progress." God, I fucking hate mainline Kaiserreich, it's so bad. Everything has to be dead serious the entire time, no odd or unusual elements allowed.

It being distasteful is subjective, but how is it being terrible in gameplay a bad thing? You're not making a good US, it having a lot of negative national spirits is fine and its far better than any bullshit "bad end game over" crap that TNO popularised

Kaiserreich and Kaiserredux continuing to move further apart with every update.
They might as well be two different worlds with different takes with the same point of divergence at this point.

There's an occupation level called "harsh quotas" which is the harshest occupation level you can set on an area you control. Basically implied to be labour camps and so on iirc.

Betareich released their new update announcement. Some gems.
-Savinkov leads Russia from the start (Prepare for le ebil nazis) and can get assassinated opening up paths for Russia. No more civil war possible.
-Huey Long starts out in the NatPop section, justified because of his radicalism or some shit, then slides into authdem when the war breaks out and the AUS forms. Also Long can be couped by some people in his party for accumulating too much power
-The UOB update where they basically write a whole event chain about Mosley being humiliated is now in works come update
-Goring being removed from Mittelafrika because of how the colonial governments worked and because he whitewashes colonialism with the alternative leaders. Also he is too wacky and unrealistically evil and part of the legacy of throwing Nazis in Africa for the mod. Don't worry though, he will totally be back somewhere else and not just in a random event when he shits himself to death.

I honestly would of had a problem with this had Kaiserredux not had existed. Which is what separates Kaiserreich from TNO.
