Started an LKMT run in Kaiserreich. Its not bad, I won the first war.

OWB update in 5 days

>>42312
I assume they're gonna overbuff AI lanius ? else he will always lose every game with all this shit in the middle of his campaign

>>42319
He was buffed last patch and he was already decent before that so maybe they'll just buff him a little more to compensate. Either way it just takes more save scumming. I beat him as the hummingbirds with their combat penalties once

>>40691
What is XU?

Anyone know any good HOI4 mods that let you bring back the soviet union? Ideally it doesn't have stuff like this where you apparently can't give the workers emancipation without first "preserving traditional marriage"

>>42390
extremis ultimis,another litterally who mod in forever demo with le ebin schizo leaders

>>42414
Kaiserreich has a secret path for the United Baltic Duchy/Latvia that let's you form the Soviet Union if you win WWII and beat russia. Super hard tho

>>42415
I see thank you comrade. Seems like donut steels will always be with us.

>>42414
Bruh, what stupid ass mod is this lmao

>>42421
One of those modern day mods, I want to say millenium dawn? It was awhile back and I basically immediately unsubscribed when I saw this nonsense. Got into leftpol off of the yugo stream and after seeing this thread here figured some comrades would have commie approved mods

>>42421
>>42427
Probably the fire rises, the meme mod where you have to play as Maupin to do the commie revolution in America lol.

>>42428
Gloria La Riva is another of the 3 leaders lol. Is she even around anymore?
They also got avakian in the next update

>>42429
New OWB update has a communist ghoul nation

>>42427
1) Russia has spooked conservacucks in the CPRF. It's not unthinkable that if they came to power, at least a faction would want to continue Putin's conservative social policies. It's an accurate focus, not sure why it triggered you so much

2) I am pretty sure there are approximately a billion communist paths in MD that don't have that, and almost every alt-history mod lets you restore the USSR in some fashion. TFR has Lukashenko as an USSR reunifier lol

>>42428
It's clearly not, and maupin is an optional path

Is it just me or are the Russian paths in TFR all pretty much the same with the only differences being their flavours of ideology?

>>42491
anon thats every path in tfr

>>42493
What the fuck lmao

WE DID IT PATRICK, EVROPA IS SAVED!!

ignore the millions of exterminated minorities and germans

>>42510
>exterminated […] germans

Based and yazovpilled

Anyone else feel like playing monarchist or fascist is just wrong? Even democratic feels a bit yucky.

>>42515
When I played Hoi4 I only ever played as Communist minor nations and Communist China. And idk how people can play the nazis in TNO. Like that's just so horrible. I can only play the West Russian revolutionary front in that mod because they are cool.

>>42519
i only play hoi4 for roleplay purposes, as also most of my games, what if i had the feeling play a super fun path that you was forced roleplay a genocide or a massacre of civillians to accurately larp as any kind of fascist party/country? of course i dont support any of this shit but please dont call me insane for roleplaying historically accurate chudlarp

>>42521
To me personally that doesn't sound fun, but I'm the type who doesn't like doing evil in video games in general (or at least doing evil just for the sake of being evil). You are of course allowed to have your own fun, and at the end of the day it is just a game.

>>42521
this is basically me, do you have any good sovilist roleplay mods you really enjoyed, I kind of dislike how the vanilla one revolves so much around stalin's paranoia and the other countries typically have such lackluster options>>42521

Ok, this is epic

>>42515
i don't play them because they are all edgy dogshit.

>>42519
>And idk how people can play the nazis in TNO. Like that's just so horrible.

I used to be pretty sensitive and I was unable to play anything other than communist nations and it would hurt my chest to think playing anything else, but now I somehow find the idea of playing any 'extremist' nations, italian fascists, nazis etc kind of appealing since storywriting and mechanics are rather exciting and one does wonder where the train will end up?

A distinct ideology from liberal democracy , an one-party state, different interest groups and whims all plotting for power, cold-blooded actions, sorrow, hope, foreign interventions, tales of soldiers & citizens as cogs of the grande project, judgements which history not proved to be the dearest or the worst.. after all, we are rather the ones who are overwhelmed when we think we control the wind–

In TNO, the main premise ( as the developers intended ) of playing nazis is that you have to liberalize or everything will eventually fall astray, you simply have a choice between two main contenders, the Conservative Nazi Bormann and the Reformer Nazi Speer- I played both of them, and the mechanics and writings were nice, but it was set up in accordingly to redeem the liberal valuations as superior and they would resolve the intristic tensions of the Nazi society and Nazi state.

Liek, what about we do an another thing, I was thinking that it would be pretty cool if Goebbels still lived in TNO lore, fall into depression again ( as he used to before joining nazis ) seeing everything falling even though 'jewish bankers and judeo bolsheviks' are gone for long time, re-delve into supressed works of german philosophers such as Marx ( like 'on the jewish question' ) , then, he'd lead the 'Populist/Revolutionary Nazis' faction who wants socializing the economy further, implement a planning economy, revive the legacies of HRE peasants revolt, 1848 and 1919 revolutions, implement state atheism and some 'freedom of expression' reforms , rehabilitate 'German' philosophers like Marx and all the others, abolish slavery, ending nazi racial policies and all the ethnic repressions/antisemitism in favour of German romantic/civic nationalism, at the end things will develop too overwhelmingly that he'd find himself leading a semi-commie German one-party republic who leads a socialist european federation :Ooo

Yeah, now as I re-look at my idea, it is kinda schizo..

>>42521
>what if i had the feeling play a super fun path that you was forced roleplay a genocide or a massacre of civillians to accurately larp as any kind of fascist party/country?

you can play atomwaffen in the fire rises

>>42590
still bullshit that there's no socialist/marxist path for germany in tno but oh well, tno already peaked anyway

>>42590
>That paragraph about Goebbels
Well, there's always submods lmao

>>42515
Eh, once you play one of Equestria at War's designated schizo paths, the atrocities done by fascist and nazis in other mods seem mundane by comparison. I for one enjoy playing "evil" paths if they're sufficiently well written and have cool aesthetics. The eviler you are the cooler your flag and the name of your country also.

>>42590
Red flood has a Goebbels path for socialist Germany try that one out

>>42599
Yeah, I've already done it but older Red Flood nations kind of feel fast and superficial that all you do is to taking some national focusses to get buffs and conquering stuff. TNO feels liek more authentic ( with bunch of new mechanics like as Japanese-colony corporate state in Guangdong you test experimental weaponry made by one of the corpos in proxy wars to sell them to japanese sphere , that is just so cool! and tno has an unique economic system where you do not simply build civs/mils but actually keep up with a steady fiscal health) and tno definitely does more with the storytelling, and a tno playthrough definitely lasts longer than a Red flood one

>>40677
Why do they do this? The councils of faceless people are already a thing in HOI4, and they're used even in TNO
What's the point of making a masked guy unless you're just trying to be a F@g about it? Annoying

Also, have you guys tried Ukraine at all since the TNO update for it came out? I wrote for some of it but I never bothered to play

>>42611
why you would want to play ukraine when russia is next to it and has 10 times the content.

so anyone ever figure out how to play cracked multiplayer

fun secret paths i discovered on TFR
also white juche lulz

>>42671
Ron Perlman is on the focus in the first picture

>>42671
How do these white juche nazbol vara constructing leftist nordicists calculate shit like the rise of the multipolar world and whatnot

>>42677
they dont. they are nationalist internationalists… white juche strasserists mostly want their ethnostate and preservance of their future for white children and safeguard their racial purity, but will defend anti-imperialism and black/afro nationalism and pan africanism.
for them, africa belong to the africans, and evropa belongs to evropeans.
nationalists of the world, unite!!

>>42661
What's this in reference to lmao

>>42671
Bruh, how do you get that lmao

>>42685
syndicalists are anti-marxist anarchists that betrayed the october revolution and deturpated the internationale with their twisted revisionist ideology

or something about how bolshevism is le better

>>42686
do those focuses (germany first, turn a blind eye), lose to fashoids, go GDR path, mimic the national front focus (then wait and michael kohl will coup you)

you have literally either juche path or nazi conciliatory strasserist path (fun fact: either picking the juche path or national communist path, you still gonna be in bed with nazis and rehabilitate them, essentially no different than day X germany with exception of cryptonazi larpers)

>>42693
>you still gonna be in bed with nazis and rehabilitate them,
Bruh, what crack were the devs on when they came up with that lmao

>>42694
they just wanted to experiment with a world where the most dovoboyovified NS reactionary mutt could be converted into becoming communist by aura farming left wing nationalism until you manage to get them to leave their comfort zone to abolish commodity production
