I didn't realise they also reworked the Far-Eastern Collapse.
If Kerensky fucks up the Manchu's still take over the West, Republicans run off to Transamur and Vladivostok and then either become one of two different flavours of authdem, Ukrops spawn in the north, but can either be SocDem or Banderites who are now properly set to reactionary.
Harbin proper gets to keep some of the south now, Its either led by Gastev who calms down his autism a bit and becomes PopSoc
Or…

>>37401Eh kinda? It's generally represented by things that are either Sorelian or National Syndicalist in nature, so it depends how fascist you think those things are. The explicitly supremacist ultranationalism is usually reserved for national popullists
>>37441I said before, but my best experience in this game.
Example of what a game like this could be.
>>37580kinda mid so far, its taken 1.5 years and still not at civil war
but /ourgal/ is in it
So yeah I'm not terribly impressed with The Fire Rises. Wanted to do Patriot Front first, but seeing as they and the National Socialist Movement have almost no loc, I dont feel like playing the federal government, and I know for a fact that for this mod the communists are going to be ridiculously strawmanned I decided to try and play Atomwaffen which at the very least has completed loc.
The biggest issue, other than the cluttered focus trees and the fact that most of the special decisions you get as any faction do almost nothing, is that Atomwaffen here is portrayed as they see themselves, an elite and disciplined group of ravenous killers with super cool sekret clandestine cells and easy access to WMDs. I know this is alt history and such, but frankly it's a bit insulting to the intelligence of the audience to portray them like this. Nevermind the fact that much of the writing feels like it was machine translated from Russian. Personally I'm much more partial to the portrayal in Extremis Ultimis, which seemingly takes care to emphasize just how ridiculous they are under the "sinister" aesthetics.
Anyways, with that in mind and the other problems with this mod in mind I'm giving this a 3/10, needs improvement
>>37633t. raging liberal rootless cosmopolite
:)
>>37634That's the point of the mod. Everyone is the hero of their own story. You don't need a disclaimer on every event that the faction is made up of evil morons.
You're entitled to your own opinion on XU being better.
>>37647I wouldn't really have a problem with it if I didn't know for a fact that Atomwaffen goobers and everyone associated with them literally get off to depictions like this. Let's be real with each other here, people like Sutter get a sexual thrill from seeing themselves being depicted as leaders of an apocalyptic hellscape, and maybe I'm crazy but I just dont think a guy who's "Nexion" unironically worships Pennywise, spells vampirism as "whampyrism", and writes awful post apocalyptic child porn complete with colored pencil sketches of some alien tulpa named "Drill Sgt Grey" really deserves this much gravitas. But maybe that's just me.
XU seems to have gone the route of making the Tempel ov Blood (that aforementioned Nexion run by Sutter) at the forefront of the Satanists in Atomwaffen, and as a result leans much more into black comedy. And as someone who's actually had the displeasure of reading Liber 333 I can safely say there is no way to portray Atomwaffen Satanists in a way that isn't ridiculous because they well and truly are.
Credit where it's do though, TFR has the spooky aesthetics down hard
>>37763>I don't think you can get a Communist or Nationalist Germany government though.There is, but Europe content is designed to be totally passive with the player not really having any choice in the matter, your post-defeat content is dependant on the path Russia went down. If Russia went communist and defeats NATO, you go fascist. If Russia is fascist, you go communist. If russia is putinist, you get the EU globalist antichrist path.
Interestingly with Russia your post-defeat content is determined by which path you went down. Russia is active and decides its fate, europe is passive and acted upon.
>>37802Well, there are a lot of variables, especially with France, which was basically developed like a CYOA. The most notable one is that taking 'Purge Extremist Soldiers' as Germany allows you to revive Nazism or Strasserism after losing to CPRF Russia. Otherwise you're stuck with ultramilitarists or clinically insane reichsburger monarchists.
