Ironically enough, Heydrich in real life was moderate by standards of the SS. If they rewrote him in TrooNO, it's more likely he'd be a middle ground between Speer and Bormann whilst retaining his willingness to harshly crush dissent.

We've long since reached the point where "what if WWI but X" has been done to death, the 1922 start date could be an interesting gimmick but I doubt it would actually be used well to make interesting gameplay. I'd go wild for a mod that was based on Divergences of Darkness.

I think the worst part is the lack of imagination. They all boil down to loser = decade long civil war, winner = entering terminal decline and collapses into civil war/invaded by loser after end of civil war.
It's especially prevalent with the US - almost invariably they collapse into a sixty-way civil war between whatever schizo cult ideologies the author totes doesn't believe in guis after the extremely original decision to move the Great Depression from 1929 to 1921/2.

How's the Cold War: Iron Curtain mod? I saw somebody in here mention that it was still largely unfinished?
I'm guessing you have something in mind for Goring too? Given what I've read about him in this mod (and the fact that he was one of the more pragmatic nazis IRL) the standard militarist path from regular TNO seems rather limited for him.
What's this!? A TNO update that's for an actually relevant faction in the game and not some "literally who?" minor nation somewhere? How transphobic of you.

That, and very buggy too.
On another note, things are coming along nicely on the CK2 mod.
I'd even say I can release it right now, but then again I wanna add more decisions, more flavor, but I don't know like what specifically. I guess I'll just mod in a warrior society. Maybe I could mod in a Strasserist heresy?

They are hyping up a massive update to the mod which will come out later this year, maybe.

I outlined my plans here, but my plans for a reasonable Goering path right now would be Speidel countercouping Schoener.How's the Cold War: Iron Curtain mod? I saw somebody in here mention that it was still largely unfinished?

That could change. Haven't put the pen to paper yet, so to speak.

Good to hear that there's another, better path for Goring, he's the most likely candidate for a more reasonable sort of Nazi, as I mentioned before.
You might also want to consider either coding in an "avoid impeachment" path for Nixon or just get rid of that whole silly thing to begin with since there's little reason for him to have gotten into the sort of trouble he did IRL and Sooty Soot is apparently modding CK2 now.

Funny you mention that because a personal favourite mod of mine is exactly that but the map is just North America so it does a truly unique spin on it, I'll happily take stale concepts if they at least do something interesting with it.

I'm putting that shit on the backburner, there's no way I'm getting entangled in the spaghetti code of flags, scripted triggers, and scripted effects of TrooNO America. If it was replacing an already existent president, it'd be easy, sort of, but 1964 would be absolute CBT to deal with since you gotta deal with South Africa, give new content for Nixon in-between the election and the trial, and then you gotta give him his own focus tree until 1968.

I remembered this old and forgotten toozer mod, 'Knots and Barbed Wire'. Basically what if Africa colonized Europe instead.
It gets better the longer you stare at it.

There were some cool ideas there but the modder behind it is notorious for abandoning projects midway through development. Its a shame really

That sounds like an incredible premise and I especially like how all the white leaders have African names. Similar to how Africans have adopted English/French first names IRL.

reminds me of this quote that i heard somewhere

i wonder what the congo of this timeline is?
Anyways, the CK2 Nazi mod is basically up to snuff, I got a warrior society, localization for a secret religious society (which the game handles automatically), custom events giving you traits, a new character, custom titles, all that. The only thing left I could do is maybe add a holy order/mercenary band which you create, and maybe some artifacts.

Goring definitely seems like the more reasonable sort, or at least the kind that would try to reach more to a detente with the the Western powers.
My big problem with the original mod is that you have only one chance to win their favor. If anything deserved a TrooNO mini-game it was trying to win Western favor as one of the post civil war factions, rather than it being a single RNG decision.
In other HOI4 news
Equestria at War (EaW) released a Dev Blog about the upcoming Bronzehill update. Writing up this Dev Blog alone probably took more work than than the TNO team put into their latest update. Personally I am really looking forward to this and the Zebrica updates they have planned. I still find it hilarious the the most dedicated and best HOI4 mod is run by Bronies (TFR is a close second though)Pax Britannica got an update recently with a Prussian update. I really like this mod, but damn, I wish there were more people working on it. Such an interesting setting but it just lacks a certain flair. I didn't see it covered here (might just have missed it)

Not just that but it's a world where black people colonized the Americas and parts of Asia and even chattel enslaved White people. There's even a Black Rhodesia in the swiss alps.
