Legacy of the Chinareich Edition

The other one filled up again so I might as well recreate it. For all those interested this is the big thread for all your Hearts of Iron 4 and modding related content, mostly modding because let's be real nobody plays vanilla anymore. Specifically alternate history. From Kaiserreich to The Fire Rises, mods from this shoddy game set in alternate timelines seem to really do numbers. And create serial killers.

So most recently the latest update from vanilla broke every mod's nation selection screen. You simply hate to see it

File: 1782040206554.mp4 (4.73 MB, 1280x720, 1782040200334.mp4)

I wonder if in hoi4 vanilla mp is it possible to beat UK's navy as Italy (assuming both are experienced players), since the game favours more numbers of ships & stat stacking in the naval calculation.
Ig its near impossible :'(

I am also having hard time thinking of counters to some metas, like what will be counter to low visibility, high speed, light/torpedoe attack dd spam, maybe armored light cruisers or light attack heavy cruisers , or maybe cheap battleship spam with only one turret to maximize armor/hp.

>>47193
i'm bored, who should i play as? in any mod you recommend

>>47214
Not the OP but,

If you are visual novel enjoyer,
TNO - Iberian Union,
If you want more fighting, more war mechanics, and then a story,
EAW - Changelingia
(Or Posada's Hippogriffia / Siren's Hippogriffia )
If you want to larp & have a challenging game
Kaiserredux - German Empire w kaiserredux expert ai mod, its actually difficult fighting the two front war with Communards and Russian Sphere.

Those r what comes to my mind rn.

>>47215
Cheers. Have already played all of those (except KRR but played it in KR, not with expert ai though) but good suggestions.

Thoughts on map-game-in-development, Espiocracies iteration on event chains? Kind of interested, as event chains have become very stale:
>Technically, it's a kind of advanced event chain, so it has all the usual features of event popups known from other strategy games – trigger conditions, flavor text, clickable decisions, and effects on the game world. The caveat is that they are never triggered automatically; they are launched through a conscious governmental decision (so the Soviets may decide to never launch the blockade).
<Inside, what makes it "advanced" is that the event has a decision tree (a'la dialogue tree) which is traversed in turns by two opposing parties.
>Every decision has defined availability and costs (in terms of state budget, strategic intelligence, military deployment, etc). Once chosen, a decision:
<-directly influences the game world; for instance, "nuclear escalation" means actual progress up the escalation ladder, which may lead all the way to WW3;
<-modifies the event's -100 to +100 score (similar to a "war score");
<-grants a new set of decisions to the other side.

>The point of divergence is won by either side once the score reaches -100/+100, or when the end of the decision tree is reached (in which case the side with no responses left loses the confrontation), or when external circumstances derail the event (eg. the aforementioned WW3). The final outcome implements a wide range of bespoke history-rewriting consequences. For instance, a Soviet victory in West Berlin will cause further Western retreats, delay the establishment of NATO (or significantly weaken NATO if it is already established), damage the image of the current American administration, turn the German population against the West, and so on.

I think Undertale's routes perfectly encapsulate the left/right political axis, and I don't just mean the surface level "good = left, evil = right".

The Pacifist Route embodies leftism at it's core: doing what's right even while the world around you basks in indifference. Sticking to your values even when you could make things easier by ignoring them. Working hard to make things better for everyone even while they punish you for it at every turn.

Conversely, the Genocide Route embodies the right wing: going out of your way to make things worse for everyone, far beyond what benefits you. Being willing to make yourself miserable just to bring others down with you. Fighting endlessly to snuff out a resistance to your own eradication.

And the Neutral Route of course represents liberals, centrists. Indifferent to everything around them, they simply do whatever benefits them. No values, no purpose, simply cruising through life without a thought. Sure, they might *try* not to do wrong at first, but once it starts to be an inconvenience it stops being worth the trouble; the lives and happiness of people you barely know don't really matter that much one way or the other.

Truly a masterclass of political commentary, bravo Toby.

fucking retarded pseud

>leftism is when good values and rightism is when making things worse
Thats pretty much correct.

>>47340
But much of the "historically progressive" things have been declared evil: slavery, genocide of natives, enclosure, child labor, the early industrial system, Manifest Destiny, and the British conquest of India.

>>47345
Capitalism is progressive vis a vis feudalism, doesn't mean that it is right now

>Maybe its going to be like decision whether to escape and abandon your partner, or both of you going to prison or something like that. But there is no way in hell Rockstar will give player option to murder their girlfriend.
the game literally ends in the game theory prisoner dilemma lol

>>47307
If I can't murder by girlfriend then what's the point?

>>47307
how is that supposed to work in a single player game?

>>47309
it looks at who you have played as the most and you make the choice for them while the game makes the choice for the other character based on like relationship or karma or whatever.

the sad thing is that i think the special edition is vastly outselling which shows despie all the people complaninig rockstar won fleecing their fans.

why does everyone in this mod's loading screen looks like they want to die?

>>47298
No anime

This is either a painting of the middle ages or something heavily inspired by this, and European medieval painters were not good at faces in general. It's a question for art historians really.

I wish I could play even bigger battles in this.



 

>Purchase businesses and homes;
>Generate "passive income";
>rent homes;
>Forcibly evict tenants;

Is this just liberal propaganda? Is it just capitalist realism and a lack of imagination? Or is this just a game with lots of options?

Bro, in fable 3 you essentially have to become a landlord or you cannot get all your citizens to survive.
Half the damn game is landlord sim.

This looks like Fable 1 if it got fed through an AI filter.

Peter Molyneux is the king of hacks, and those people are always smarmy capitalists promising the world only to go away with money bags while the cucksumers are left empty except for disappointment. It completely makes sense that this Fable is like that because he gave that degenerate DNA to the game. Remember that "Curiosity: What's Inside The Cube" shit was a huge scam.

>>47219

I interpret it as you need to nationalize the land to finance your military defense without otherwise fucking over society.

Still, it would have been much better if the game operated with real resources & industrialization & militarization were real issues with tradeoffs (including needing to crush at a few large landowners & capitalists to get ahead without fucking over the majority of the population too much).

Anyone else playing the open beta? Really fun game ngl and they have basically made it playable, fixing the UI and stuff. I am better at the fighting than the racing though. I can never win against the vector users who boost across the map.

Video games are bourgeois. S-poster confirmed LARPer for not launching a Protracted People's War in Wales. S poster is revisionist and class collaborationist and probably fascist and dengist as well.

So i earn the minimum wage and i cant afford most game because they usually cost around 24-27% of the money i earn, i usually buy stuff on sale because i like to 100% games on steam (even tho ppl say its worthless) i kinda wanted to play death stranding 2 but then again it costs around 25% of my wage that could be going to important things. i'm torn between spending this money on a game or just saving for basic needs. is pirating games on this scenario the best course of action?
13 posts omitted.

>>46719
Yeah, nothing wrong with pirating unless you really wanna support the devs, the only downside is if you wanna do co-op or multiplayer, usually cracked games fuck that up.

Fuck them, pirate the hell out of the game. I mean, i buy stuff out of Steam. But if it was 24-27% of my salary, i would think "y'know, these fuckers want to rob the shit out of me". By the way, i'm sorry your salary is that low, you're not even living anymore, you're surviving or basically paying to breathe.

I have not paid for a singleplayer game in years

Yes but I played pirated Death Stranding 2 after playing a legit version of the first one and I stopped after the prologue because I realized the connection with other players was important to me narratively and not just a gimmick, so I'll wait until a hard discount for this particular game. But piracy is the way.

First of all, pirate all you want. I pirated games my entire childhood, and now that I have a job and a disposable income, I'm filling in my catalogue with games I loved as a little boy.

Second of all, there are tons of good games you can get for very, very cheap. Check out someplace like https://www.cheapshark.com/

Looking at it at the moment of writing, I can see you can get Metro 2033 for 99 cents, Dishonored for $1.99, Homeworld for $3.49, Frostpunk for 3 bucks. These are all amazing games available at a 90% discount. Have you played literally every good game of yesteryear? I doubt it.

But you don't have to do that. You can just pirate, it's literally fine.



 

i vibe-coded a deathmatch html little game for the 2026 ANIMAL ELECTION that will happen this saturday!!!!!!!! what do you think?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? Do you like the map??!?!?!?

did you use the map image (ring5.png) that's in the zip file?

It works! How do you make your own map?

>>47244 very cool!!!!!!!
just make a drawing on any image editor!!!! The contenders always spawn at the center of the map, and will only bounce on black pixels and red pixels. And only red pixels will damage them!!!!

>>47243
No, I thought I was supposed to use my own images lol

>Mewgenics (Pro-Zionist game) gets rave reviews

We really are in a post woke era. I think it's quite cringe myself but it seems as if the chudsphere has won the culture war I guess. Even if their political figures are becoming more and more hated.

Mewgenics is very woke their voice cast is like a who's who list of every major libtard streamer.

Pragmata otoh is just typical jap lolislop.

the same people were treating stellar blade like some cultural watershed moment and no one cared in the end

>>46625
Mewgenics is Communist, and centrist, and fascist and zionist and pro-palestine and-
