HoI4 + HoI4 modding thread Anonymous 20-11-24 16:27:20 No.38136[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Operation Deep Sneed edition

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

…three years of fucking Antarctica

kinda interesting there aren't really any near future/mid 21st century mods for hoi4. obviously it'd have to be some form of alternate history since whatever lore you write for it would be rendered obsolete by real events, but out of the two i found that use it, one is a TNO parody written by russian TFR devs, and one is a toozer mod that died half a decade ago

No because it's a Souls-like game disguised as a horror game and an affront to the entire Silent Hill series.
I don't give a fuck how good or bad the story is, Silent Hill is not fucking Dark Souls and the fact that the dev team implemented a hack and slash combat system into what is supposed to be an atmospheric horror game is ridiculous.

I'm playing it rn. Im a pretty big SH fan and I think its a genuinely close contender for one of the series best entries. The combat doesn't resemble souls like games in really any capacity, if anything the combat is like Ocarina of Time or something. All the scares have felt very earned by the game and didn't come off as forced or overdone and it genuinely had me jump and yell FUCK more than a handful of times.
The only real complaint that I have is that I wish there were more enemy types. There's like 5 basic enemy types each with an otherworld counterpart, not counting bosses. I feel like I'm the older games there was a lot of variety with enemies so you couldn't always know what you were going to have next and this game doesn't really have that.
I still think the game is worth checking out if youre a j-horror/silent hill fan. There have definitely been far worse entries in this series and this isnt one of them.

UE5 came at the worst possible time because lumen and nanite came with the promise of reducing work among developers, just as the entirety of the IT industry sees lay offs as a good thing. This is why everything ever is using UE5, even among studios that had spent copious amount of money developing their own engines and pipelines. What you're seeing is people making do with whatever automated lighting solution UE5 is offering because they dont have time for anything else, and the results are good enough for management.

Just completed Silent Hill f.
Very good horror game with a very interesting story, with the main gripes being graphical glitches that need patching out and there being an excessively high amount of enemies at some points.
Each playthrough takes 10-12 hours depending on how much of a completionist you are. But the it takes 3 playthroughs to get the full picture, with the story expanding and changing significantly with each subsequent playthrough.
So really, you aren't done with the story until you've done NG++. Which is kind of similar to Armoured Core 6, if you've played that.
After the first playthrough and first ending you'll probably be thinking "huh?" and have some questions and confusion, maybe feel like it didn't end on any real conclusion. But… by the time you finish the true ending you'll be like 😯.

Okay I did 2 other runs, one where I was doing alright until about '94 when the economy collapsed due to Brazil, Mexico and Japan cutting off trade, followed by not having enough army/special forces support to stop Ukraine from seceding and the constant nationalist riots.

I played the second run way more conservatively than the previous one, keeping a stable Warsaw pact with Yugoslavia and Albania in COMECON. I did have some issues with military high command loyalty and not researching the higher end of mil tech until late, so I didn't wrap up Afghanistan, Nicaragua and Angola until very late. I really wish my earlier bid to end the Sino-Soviet split didn't fail or that the civil wars wrapped up faster so I could help out the Chinese military coup.
It's a good game and I appreciate that they made it more legible than Ostalgie or the original (I did not play the latter).

The upcoming patch to nationalism looks amazing. Using imagined communities as the basis is great both as a realistic model of the time period, and as a means to give engaging levers and consequences to gameplay.

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/victoria-3-dev-diary-154-imagined-communities.1855098/

The only improvement i would change would be to break the cultures down further, and then to allow them to be amalgamated/constructed as part of gameplay; e.g. a national italian cultures being created upon formation of the nation state, that can then gradually assimilate regional italian cultures based on state building and agitation. This could then be expanded to allow any empire to try and form some kind of greater civic national identity as was the case historically - it should be much more difficult based on the degree of differences between groups which you seek to integrate however.

I'm not 100% certain how this would fit in with existing abstractions on 'culture = nation', and all pops needing a culture, but it would also be neat to have 'a-national' hyper-localised peasantry at the start of the game that can be nationalised via literacy and middle class agitators.

I've reached an impasse on my current run. For some reason I suddenly started making about 200k less and I can't figure out what triggered it. Nothing in my tooltips seems to explain it to me well, but I decided to throw in more buildings to help fix the unrealized tax issue that I had in the meantime.

Now I've run into a situation where no matter what I charge in taxes I'm in the red. I got rid of all subsidies and that almost cut me down enough to get out of the red if I charge the highest taxes possible.

Would it be best to fire most of my military and in the meantime develop all of my government and military goods in my own country or is there another way out of this? I can't open the game at the moment because I'm leaving soon, but I can say my economic system is co-operatively owned and my trade policy is interventionist.

AKA "open zone" akin to like 3D mario games. Also allows you to have your more structured world map with specific paths connecting the zones. Super Mario Eclipse (mod for sunshine) does this pretty well, where on top of adding new levels it allows you to travel between adjacent levels on the island.

Do RTS developers just not understand tactics? Anonymous 30-09-25 02:41:42 No.44400[Reply]

For real life military tactics, well tactics are actually pretty ancient. The historical cause for large scale formations and mass marches was mainly caused by either poor education among common soldiers or weapons too heavy/large to carry easily. Otherwise, squad level tactics, raids, deception warfare, mobility, and other “tacticool” nonsense has been a part of war for eons or possibly thousands of years. The main enabler is usually mobility for infantry soldiers to avoid having to rely on mobs of slow moving men for battles.
I don’t see why in nearly every RTS game I’ve seen, seemingly everything revolves around post feudal era mob tactics you’d find from countries like Britain, Germany, or the USA before it started getting into formal warfare. Am I just missing something?

Is it weird if I love short VNs but I can't really get into long ones with branching paths? I don't like doing the different paths because it feels like I am betraying my favourite characters, I don't want to go with the ones I don't like. Planetarian is my favourite VN for this reason. Also I was thinking of playing Chaos Head but I can't find a translation.

Have you played a Type-Moon VN yet? The sex scenes in tsukihime can be a bit grating, yet otherwise it's a fine mystery novel. It uses branching, mostly unrelated, paths to make the narrative feel more extensive, while remaining introspective and small in scope. Fate Stay/Night does this even more effectively, but as the progenitor of the Fate franchise its setting isn't as intriguing as it should be, feeling more fantastical in contrast to tsukihime albeit still very anime-edgy and nasu. In any case playing with a guide is usually the right choice for non-dating, non-gimmicky VNs.

Watching a playthrough of MGS Delta reminded me what a poor writer Hideo Kojima is.

>uhm acktually he wasn‘t involved in making the gaym
It‘s a remake that kept the same story.

Kojima‘s shortcomings as a story writer are that he uses way too much exposition. Scene after scene of giving explicit and longwinded speeches about what is happening in the world. It’s laborious to pay attention to everything and you forget the shit anyways. Which leads me to the next problem.

His endless world building. He keeps introducing new layers, groups, conflicts and conspiracies that simply overwhelm the audience. More world building is only desired if it‘s actually interesting but Kojima seems to simply assume that it makes his stories more intriguing when in actuality he is just confusing his audience and makes them frustrated if they even cared to pay attention.

Another problem is that he adds plot twist after plot twist after plot twist, seemingly for the same reason that he believes it makes his stories more intriguing. In retrospect it‘s funny how unphased every plot twist has left me. There was no built up to make me invested in whatever has been overturned.
>Oh, the shaggy dogs weren‘t actually double spies but tripple spies for the cyber homolords? Damn.. anyways

It‘s odd to me he has gotten so successful. Don‘t get me wrong I actually like the MGS series, but it‘s selling points for me have been Kojima‘s creativity and the gameplay being somewhat unique. It has character. But the writing is awful.

All of the flaws in the story of Metal Gear come from Kojima’s ideological confusion. Like he thinks there’s good and bad actors in every society regardless of politics and ideology (JFK and Khruschev are good, Brezhnev and LBJ bad). Secret societies that aren’t really secret controlling the world so he can have his anime bullshit while simultaneously trying to satirize the absurdity of the American Military Industrial Complex and nuclear weapons proliferation.

It kind of makes sense that The Boss was a completely apolitical person until it was too late and her CO’s ordered her to kill her Soviet born comrades and lovers. She’s as ideologically confused as Kojima is, and from there Big Boss is confused. The story works on the interpersonal level of mother/son or master/student like a martial arts film.
