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

Soy Chad said:
The mod has BY FAR the best presentation and time put into it than any other Hoi4 mod.

The narrative and lore is terrible, but the plot is presented very well and you can tell that whoever writes this knows a whole bunch about literature and how to write. It's like a Picasso painting - it's very weird and many will dislike it, but you can respect the effort and talent of the artist, even if it was misguided.
And unlike most Hoi4 mods (including Vanilla Hoi4), the campaign is huge and many countries can take 15-20 ingame years to finish its storyline (meanwhile, in Vanilla Hoi4, it is terrible to play the game past 1944)
I don't need to tell you why this mod is bad, because there is a 200+ pages thread about it, but hopefully you can see why so many people are invested/interested in it

TL;DR: Presentation and scope

I have hopes for TNO Redux.

I wish there was a more concrete timeline for the redux coming out. I love the concept but TNO itself has some really bizarre paths and forced choices for nations I want to play.

Turns out the TNO spin off "The Red Order" had a grooming scandal of their own

At what point would anyone realize that discord is a terrible place to start dating or talking about sex at. There is no reason to trust anyone there when they give you there age and discord's pro pedo moderators let's these groomers run wild. Under no circumstances should a minor use discord.

If you're under 18 just don't even say your age it's like putting a target on your back

Never a matter of "if", always a matter of "who" and "when".
Doesn't seem like anyone cared - nor here nor there - this case is more than a week old by now.

It's almost like its a bi-monthly occurence and everyone got bored of it.

Discord + tranny autism + Hoi4 modding community autism is a dangerous combination


The only big Soy4 mod that’s squeaky clean that I can think of is Kaiserreich.

Is Kaiser Redux less pozzed than most other mods for HOI4? I'm getting the urge to play map paint simulator again, and I'm too depressed to play Vicky 2 knowing Parajew will ruin it in the upcoming sequel.

KX is more fun IMO and embraces the slightly more wacky side of alt-hist.

I would say Kaiserredux is the best hoi4 mod with maybe New Ways and The Great War Redux coming a close 2nd and 3rd place respectably.

People have said it already, but the Pony mod is good too if you can handle the autism. And it isn't that pozzed, unless there is something I missed. The closest thing that I'm aware of was when a teaser jokingly revealed a "trans path" for a character.

Honestly TNO fucking sucks, its way too linear and could have been so much more. I played through the game a thousand times before giving up, my most memorable playthrough was Samara where I caved in communist reunifier skulls and had to console command my way to take down germany, surprisingly they didn't launch nukes and I actually managed to get a peace deal conference, but my game crashed after that.
No puppeting, No potential Eastern/Western bloc paths, No focuses for low nations. Booooring.
As well as the fact that I encountered dozens of bugs hindering progress towards reunification such as nations not returning under my control, Iran and Norway not joining the war despite them being in the Einheitspakt, as well as the fact that heaps of shit in the game are just unrealistic, like a communist guerilla force in vietnam somehow managing to gain their independence from a Japanese empire spanning all across asia, running a corporate hegemony over their puppet states, and also has the ability to put down a chinese nationalist revolution with ease, but Ho Chi Minh will live another day.
An Honorable mention to other unrealistic shit in TNO is the Aryan Brotherhood, because there would totally be an ethnic group dedicated to self destruction in the name of "ethnic purity" and "aryanism", the fact that National Socialists are depicted as generic dictatorships whereas Ultranationalists are depicted as super duper hyper ultra kaizo nationalists who defend their lands and people to the dying breath, and the fact that India has no content whatsoever.
If you really want a good cold war mod, play the Cold War Iron Curtain mod or TWR, because at least TWR has a functioning Deutsches Sozialistische Republik path on day one.

Have the past months proven Panzer right?
This thread (including me) has been very critical of his leadership style, but now, it seems that his leadership style was seemingly necessary to get anything done at all.
He might've enforced crunch, cut content, and released content in an immensely bugged state, but he at least released content at all. In the eight months since his departure, merely two updates came out - the first one was nothing but bugfixes and half a path of content, and the second one wasn't even developed by the TNO team.
The new leadership council is clearly not getting anything done, and it's becoming clear that his iron fist might have actually been necessary.

TNO has a clear message about how authoritarianism is evil and doesn't work, but it only got completed because of the dev team's authoritarian style of leadership.
