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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
In the mod, is there any way to influence European politics that are not directly related to the Russian wars, for example if say you pick Le Pen and win the first war and then the 2nd war as her France, does that allow you to pick one of the nationalist leaders or are you railroaded into the federal neoliberal EU path?
I think that depending on who you pick before the first euro war you get access to different leaders after you lose. For example to get monarchist France you have to pick an specific leader (I forgot his name) and lose to the communists, if you picked another guy you get a different right-wing extremist path

Idk if there are other paths , but for Bonapartist one you need to get Villiers He is Field Marshall. Who can replace Le Pen as conservative candidate if she refuses to give concessions to military. Idk if it is relevant for event to trigger but I went with branch recreating independent French army.
Anyway Villiers is superior option for conservative democrat anyway because he gets better buffs and what is more important Villiers is actual conservative. Le Pen tree is about creating Goverment of National unity with fucking Emmanuel Cuckron.
 
Not really. First Crusade was really only a success because it was at the right time for taking advantage of Muslim infighting in the Levant. It's why once Saladin consolidated control the Ayyubids basically folded the Crusaders over the course of 50 years.
Yesn't. Saladin's success came more from the strategic consequences of a single disastrous tactical battle (Hattin) than from being able to unify Egypt with Syria; he failed to make any significant gains while Baldwin IV was alive (during which he also suffered his worst defeats), and the Ayyubids lost control of Jerusalem to the Sixth Crusade. The real culprit, IMO, was the policy shift of the Greeks following Manuel Comnenus' death to be antagonistic to the Franks, and most of the manpower and energy that would have gone to shoring up the Crusader states immediately after Saladin's initial success was instead diverted into Byzantine power politics; Isaac II Angelus allied with Saladin against the Third Crusade to Frederick Barbarossa's detriment and likely death, and the Fourth Crusade was diverted by the promise of being able to put an Emperor in Constantinople who would commit to the defense of the Crusader States. Ironic given the Crusader States would have never existed without Alexius Comnenus leaving them to die at Antioch, but I digress.

NS France Tree. I know I'm doing the meme, but here we go...*sigh*...is that a mothafuckin' O9A/AWD reference? The Siegeheads would ironically refer to Judeo-Germanics, in the same vein as assassinating mailmen. Do I even need to explain the meme? Germany is one of the most kosher countries out there, that's the joke.

I might be completely brainrotted and this is just a case of great minds thinking alike.

The virgin "No we can´t have Natzi Germany and fascismus have good paths and development because fuck you Natzi and will punch you" TNO vs THE CHAD ¨Sure every important country will have a NS path a with the most obscure references possible to put¨ TFR.

Does anyone have any suggestions for presidential candidates? I've been reading about Michael Dukakis lately and he seems like a good C-NPP candidate. Corporatist economics combined with militarism would be pretty interesting. His fellow Greek, Spiro Agnew would be also be pretty funny. Having a mechanic revolving around his corruption would be rather amusing.

Side note, I like TfR Japan's economy tree, so I've stolen the design for TNORA.

One more thing, I hope if TfR adds an avoid 2acw path it's as over the top as possible. Maybe Vince Mcmahon gets them to sit down for a meeting, but realizes they can't hash out a deal so he murders them both. Then the political path becomes a parody of wrestling storylines full of swerves and overdramatic confrontations.

Now that I think about it, Vince was 35 by 1980 so I definitely could use him as a presidential candidate. Maybe instead of getting into his father's business he stays south and joins the army after graduating military school. Maybe I'll make him a Democrat for maximum humor.

Primary losers and vice presidents can be a good source of inspiration. Bringing back McGovern too.

Rockefeller, Reagan, Carter, McNamara, like EGM said, primary losers are a good pick.

If you go with Dukakis you can always use ‘the picture’ somewhere

Thank you all for the suggestions! I think I have more of an idea of the presidential candidates for 76 and 80.

Encountered a major bug in TfR where Soviet Russia was locked out of its focus tree and never invaded me (I was Zenmour France). I ended up manually triggering the war, but at that point it was late and because the focus tree and triggers were busted, they didn't get their buffs so I just curbstomped them and barely took and casualties. My ai allies probably could have beat them by themselves.

I wonder how non unifiers will work in American civil war . Will it be like TNO Russia? If you win as non unifier you will shatter invader into multiple puppet states instead of directly annexing them.
On side note I hope there is going to be buck breaking reference.
Imagine this, a focus called 'Break their Bucks' which gives you attack bonuses aganist the Black Liberation Front and also gives them manpower maluses
 
As a side note, how the hell do you win the 2EW as communist France? The fucking russians have like 300+ 40w fully mechanized divisions and something like a 50% attack bonus as base just because of national spirits

Boring ass "occupation zones" have no excuse to exist. Ideally there should be some of salvation liberation front deal where whoever the local secessionist is (Cascadia/Dixie/Deseret/Gross Nue Englandiums) auto allies with whoever wins in the other secession inclined areas and uplifts them to be something ideologically compatible in the process aka; huwhyte supremacist North West Imperium setting up KKK golden Circle/bLACK kangdom of nu Afrika establishes the Emirate of Shabazzz in Detroit etc.
 
I am close to finishing heydrich's but I thought I'd share some cut content I've found
First, I've restored Aktau (Kazakh nat socs)
1742763919847.jpeg
Interestingly they actually had a few focuses made for them

As a bonus, India has almost 300 focus icons leftover from its cut content, and Bengal also has some focuses including one for an alliance with Afghanistan.
