Ironically, I could actually see more value in Lake GigaChad being a hypothetical tourist area in Africa over the Congo Sea. Warm to hot weather on the shores of a vast freshwater lake teeming with fish and wildlife, relatively isolated so easier to keep undesirables out, ready access to some of Africa's most famous big game for hunting. It'd be far better than the Congo at least.
If TNO had the balls to be fun and wacky they'd have some bullshit scenario where colonial Africa collapses (Because gotta copy Kaiserreich) and have a country form from that resort town of doomsday German cannibal aristocrats eating black people or something that is fun to play.
This is literally something the National Socialists did in real life. There was an organization called "Strength Through Joy" that was a part of the German Labor Front. It focused on improving quality of life and leisure for the lower classes. Part of their program was to provide affordable cruise vacations to poor people. In the TNO timeline they would totally turn the entirety of Crete into a waterpark for German factory workers.
This is actually worst than that Fujoshi who drew her gay fanfic comic of Frodo and Sam,
The only mod I know that actually does a Southern Victory right is Road to 56, and even then the South is still classified as Fascist. But I'm willing to overlook this because there's no political self-insert shit in Road to 56, so a Southern Victory is just as it would have been in real life, with the 11 secessionist states staying as the CSA, and the rest of the country still being part of the Union.
I might try this mod. One trope I hate is the "confederate empire" thing where the confederates magically get all of latin america into their country.
In Road to 56, the only big change from the IRL CSA is that they take parts of Mexico and Baja California, however, those territories are NOT cores.
I could definitely see then pushing into northern mexico as it was largely pastoral land. I just don't think they'd be able to or want to annex all of latin america like you so often see in alt-history media.
Last time I played Road to 56 was a while ago and the quality of some of the integrated mods, I presume at some point they sorted that out?
I could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that Black sea resorts are notoriously ghetto compared to Mediterranean ones. Like Sochi in Russia is a resort town and is a shithole.
To be honest, I respect the Chimp for not being like most of the Reddit and pretend to think having a card game dictate economic policy is not fucking retarded.
It baffles me how these minigames are accepted by the entire community when these mods make this retarded shit instead of a decision with pp cost. HOI4 mods would be a hundred times more enjoyable if they all ditched these bullshit minigames.
I honestly believe that HoI4 modders will do anything from turning it into a VN or a YuGiOh ripoff than actually play, ya know, Hearts of Iron.
