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

Kaiserredux now feels like a completed mod for me. Everything is so detailed and there is so much to do in it.
In many ways it feels like the first developed mod in hoi4 yet the devs are hard at work coming with new stuff to come at a consistent rate.
Needs paths for Middle East especially Turkey/Ottomans. And for the actual countries there no crusade power fantasy larp crap.

Egypt just got an extended update that I think is a stopgap for the actual update, but the Middle East is lacking in redux.

The actual difference in quality and scope between Redux and KR is amazing. You can literally tell without prior knowledge where Redux content starts and where KR stuff ends. And this is ignoring the shitty meme paths like Lovecraft or Crusader Malta.

I honestly am amazed by the amount of content that not only is still in it, but that keeps being added. if i was asked what my favorite path would be, i don't think i could answer, a lot of the countries have fun and unique things for them to do. granted though, for me sometimes seeing the more memey paths pop up and derail a campaign can be annoying, but thankfully game rules exist.
 
Russian state funded mod “African Dawn” released, according to some words from the grapevine, the streamer “Grisha” was paid by the state to promote this and hire a team to develop this but the team hired did fuck all except one guy and the result is a half baked mod that’s only slightly better than TOTA (which isn’t a high bar to cross to begin with.)

Nice to see Russian taxpayer money well spent!

Edit: Another thing I would like to add is that the individual developing this (because again the rest of the “team” did fuck all) was given a very strict deadline with very little wiggle room so I wouldn’t lay the blame on the modder himself, if he was given more leeway and didn’t have a deadline to worry about than I have no doubt that this mod would have a mid to average first release given this guy’s other workshop submissions.

Depending on how long this took, it doesn't look bad at all. Nice graphics, map work looks original, interesting take on tech and so on. What's the story behind being being paid by the state, is there any proof of that?
Wicked/Dante Lore
He hasnt done a very good job at hiding personal details, the people at the various mods he has sought attention from apparently have figured out where he lives, that he has ADHD, his father is a psychologist (not a very good one evidently) and so on. He probably used his actual information in the initial DMCA attempts, which would then be handed over to the recipient, so he would have effectively doxxed himself. Some of that info was posted on this thread a while back IIRC.

The mod took a couple of months from what the lead dev said in the vcs from the TFR server, as for the state sponsored element, it came from the word of Grisha himself iirc (as a quick refresher, Grisha is the guy who streamed an MD game from the Wagner Centre and caused a stir in the community because of it)

Apparently he came on here under the Alias "The Hungarian" Pretending to be a RD Dev and posted some fake doxes a while back, But yeah, he clearly isn't the brightest when it comes to keeping his info secure, speaking of which, I'm 90% sure the face of "Lucien" (AKA Lord of Doubts, Yes he apparently used his real name in his username) the Funny Nazbol is also out there somewhere, I'll ask around and try to scrape up a photo of it.

Alright, did some digging.
His Name is apparently "Lucien Boudreaux" Has ADHD, Is a NEET etc.. (Like what i've mentioned before) He had a Twitter account which contained a lot of info, including this photo, which some have confirmed as him. He Lives in New Orleans.

Moral of story, don't share your shit with people who you don't trust, nor have your real name be attached to shit that you don't want to be used.
Edit: Here's his now deleted twitter account

Sadly this isn’t the info of wicked himself, however this is the info of his gay nazbol buddy “Lucien” all the info here lines up with what he has shared online

As for him being “The Hungarian” I would say no, it’s only Wicked that spams gay dmc r34 and that material is what got Null to step in and nuke his ass so it’s safe to assume that Wicked is in fact “The Hungarian”

Edit: Ignore this, I’m clearly fucking retarded because I did not read these two fully.

Remember when kaiserreich removed goering and teased he was going to play a big role in the german rework only to have him show up in a throwaway event where he gets kicked out of parliment for being a fat retard.
Because removing heckin' unwholesome people aren't enough we must have this humiliation ritual as well

Remember when they made Himmler some weird colonist of the Baltics who leads a militia that walks into an obvious ambush and gets killed by the Forest Warriors or whatever the Baltic resistance is called?

I hate that hoi4 mods have the desire to make hyper competent yet evil right wing historical figures idiots. Himmler and goering were evil sociopaths who deserved death. But its retarded to let out your revenge fantasy of killing them into your hoi4 mod.

TNO turned Salazar and Franco into a literal bickering married couple. There is a reason I never played the Iberian Union in TNO, and that was the main reason.
 
Didn't he used to just be a chicken farmer? Or am I thinking of a different mod.
If I remember correctly the old lore was that he had settled down and was trying to breed the "master race" of chickens
Correct. The old lore was creating an Uberchicken for food, which is ironically what he originally tried to do in real life. This lead to a ton of memes about Himmler being Colonel Sanders that you can still find on the subreddit from years back.

Remember when the Roter Morgen dev threw a massive tantrum to push the KX devs to remove the Goebbels path, which was created by himself?

Reminds me when Dirlewanger had like 50+ ways to die in TNO, with the player not having the freedom to stop them. Instead of getting everyone horrified, the devs revived and increased the Dirlewanger memes
