Chinese weebs r gay

>a submod of a submod
if it was just a basic submod like "TFR+" then the OG submods dev are overreacting to a submod, when the OG submod was also unauthorised by BanG Dream!, hoi4 devs or (most likely) unauthorised by the TFR devs, while using copyright characters; unless if the mod of the submod dev was doing something nasty and the og submod devs didn't want to be a part of, claiming they were the ones that made the og submod or code then there's not much a reason for a DMCA.
the mod of the submod dev is still big gay, but the the DMCA is also big gay.

chat is this true?

>>45663
Is this just a WWII mod? The base game is already wwii

>>45663
it seems like this guy is trying use a false dichotomy between expansion and revising old content to explain why tno and tgwr aren't good. although he tries to say that kaiserreich doesn't fit into his definition of "revisionism" because there are still core component like the second american civil war that have been left unchanged, the past 5 years of kaiserreich development have almost exclusively been reworks and revisions of existing content, which has included the removal of certain paths that people liked. the reason people still like kaiserreich though, is because these reworks add new content, and are more often than not better than what they're replacing. in the case of TNO however, the reworks swap out already existing focus trees with skeleton content and leave the game emptier than it was before.
the same problem applies to the great war mod. the problem isn't that stuff like backstabbing austria was removed, its that what replaces it is a pretty bloated focus tree that tries to disguise the fact that there's only really one path you can go down, assuming you don't lose the war. that and the reichstag and bundesrat mechanics which don't really add anything.
as for political issues with the dev team, it's inevitable that any hearts of iron 4 mod is going to come with some kind of political statement, as hearts of iron 4 is by nature an inherently political game. the issue isn't even that they're le toonkies or whatever, since red dusk is a mod that's pretty openly run by MLs (especially obvious when playing as a conservative USSR) and doesn't have the same problem. its moreso the mass bans and other inane drama that seems to be the issue.

>>45663
he made up some rome words by changing the terms like "revisionism" when it meant historically revision of history.
also this video is a nothingburger he is assmad that TGWX devs have political opinions that dont often share his (muh holodomor denial) or (muh amerikkka bad). there still is some things to gather, which is often how some hoi4 modding communities are BAN HAPPY, both on reddit or on discord, but all i see is someone defending the slop of brittany focus tree for hoi4 TNO instead of how devs direct their efforts and remove content due to dev team disputes

Thanks for adressing that, i do not think often youtubers when complaining about mods ever adress kaiserreich and stuff, for example, TNO released one of biggest updates in brazil but if you see, the mod is fully incomplete and i see developer priorities are not weeelll good, they are much more worried to rework the fucking US OF ALL COUNTRIES. here is aiming to rework iberia and germany, but the mod is incomplete as also how britain is fully incomplete since 2023. but most of videos seem more to adress the loss of atlantropa and stuff

also played hoi4 KR commune rework submod and managed to liberate the US and canada from entente imperialism, now it is time to do a crusade agaisnt savinkovism, screenshots coming later

>>45663
The lead dev seems to be larping as a right-SPD Menshevik or smth lol

>>45664
it's a WWI mod.

>>45669
I had a temp reddit accout to post in TNO sub and I was banned for promoting nazism just because I stated the state of directions of the Nazi Germany which is to either "liberalize" or stay status quo then collapse are too narrow (and maybe Goebbels should given an unique path), and afterwards when I wrote an apology&appeal letter they just ignored it. 😞

>>45663
this guy has such a dumb dweeb accent lol

fuckin imperialist shit

opinion on loredad? is he what we need to save hoi4 modding in a sea of toozers and rework hell, personally i like him despite he being a liberal, he disclose when to skip once in his althis videos once he talks about marxism

is harmony just a form of liberalism?

TNO is sucks.

>>45847
The second they removed atlantropa it was over, the beginning of the end.

Man and I thought liberals in the west were smug elitists

>>45871
I'm still waiting for one of those faggots to come out of hiding so I can leave sharts in their anus.

i tried as a beginner on hoi4 modding to maybe develop a skeleton tree for amazonas PCdoB brazil, but i feel soo overwhelmed and annoyed by modding on this game and slightly angry i couldnt see a focus tree, tried also CWtools

>>45936
> slightly angry i couldnt see a focus tree
if you have vscode then hoi4 mod utilities could help with that, has a focus tree visualizer built in

>>45947
gonna try that, thanks
i have yet to design a focus tree skeleton for brazillian communists in TNO then a timed decision minigame for adhemar, democratic lacerda and the hardliner military paths

>>45954 (me)
ive done the focus tree, now i gotta make the events, decisions and other stuff to make it playable/triggerable and achievable, which i need tips, tried to pick TFR's alikhanov opposition minigame but it is too hard, plus writing the decisions feel more important than events

So with Kaiserreich's South China update being out for a couple of months now I suppose it's fitting to ask, what are our thoughts? Favorite paths? Things we wish they'd work on next?

Honestly the attention to detail that the KR team has given to China these past few years has been phenomenal, you really get something close to an intimate understanding of obscure Chinese political figures which could have had a big impact but didn't due to the dominance of the CPC and the right wing of the KMT. The tragedy of Federalism, the tragicomedy of regionalist warlords, the vast array of based schizos in the KMT, there's just so many ways you can make a China. And objectively the best way is to play Lianguang and let yourself be a vassal to the LKMT, because that way you can get the Boddhisatva of the peasants himself Peng Pai as leader of the country in a based spiritual Maoist type path.

>>46102
i hope KR devs give effort to other natione rather than china

>>46114
Yeah I mean China is cool and all but Chinareich: Legacy of the Northern Expedition gets boring after a while

So TFR's flavor expansion has been removed entirely shortly after their update that added detailed flavor events to the O9A faction of Atomwaffen, some of which included explicit depictions of CSAM

>>46137
>some of which included explicit depictions of CSAM
pfft dumbasses what is wrong with them?

>>46142
Well that's the problem when you're writing for a group like the fucking Niners, they're sick pieces of shit. Sources seem to vary on how direct the depictions are, but in any case it's at the very least alluded to too many times for people to be comfortable with and the main devs of TFR put out an announcement saying that they're disassociating from the flavor expansion entirely

>>46142
rude

>>46137
>>46143
This is why making a long-ass and detailed fan-fic for shit like the Atomwaffen and propping them up was a dumb idea.

>>46144
>>46143
>>46142

did they add the parts when they get outed as traners and fagets?

hoi4 mod jannyfags mad someone wrote accurate events to a pedophile nazi genocidal faction XD.

but writing this was stupid

>>46147
it was stupid in the first place to give the glowing pedophile nazi group with <100 members the ability to take over the entire country.

>>46150
This.
I seen few redditors saying this is totally "realistic" or "in character" when Gloria La Riva isn't one to one to IRL conterpart, making her a commie from red dawn, it isn't even how other member in her party act (china simps) at least, Atomwaffen and APPA (most parts) are not that realistic or "one to one" to begin with.
Making pedo nazi-wannabe faction in any amount of seriousness with a long ass focus tree was dumb idea.

All it does is just give more ways for pedo larpers to larp and this should be more clear when some factions from the <100 members are supposed to be online constantly for their pedo nazi larp.

i did some progress on my hoi4 mod but i am considering opening a volunteer server because i am legit unexperienced, plus i do not studied or know stuff like triggers (the one i want as a trigger is ruler/ruling party triggers [X=certain person is head of state/X=certain party with certain ideology is in charge] followed by date of fire of event and decision) which i do not know

if anyone also wills to me to create a communist brazil submod for TNO considering devs did not give content, respond to me so i can open a discord server

Where does one find other mods? I went on the hoi4modding board on reddit and its completely filled with idea guys and teasers. Every discord link on there is the same too

>>46229
HOIIV Steam workshop?

>>46231
also paradox plaza and skymods

>>46229
some modders actually post releases there, althrough all i see are toozers which blatantly post GFX and graphic designed stuff disguised as teasers.

try to view by recently updated mods

>>46233
>>46232
Thanks for the help comrades

Do you think this will be a fun map game? I am looking forward to do some modding if it has potential upon release. Feel like a perfect setting for me personally.

>>46237
it looks ok

>>46237
looks cool but all these non paradox map based games trying to be GSGs have turned out to be pretty weak in their own ways

>>46265
I read through some of devlogs, he definitely has his own vision and seems competent enough, well have to wait and see.
Think the framing will be terminally liberal, but to be expected. Strong modding is good though because if gameplay is fun liberalism can be fixed. i like idea of input but not controlling the military, and playing as intel agencies instead of a vague national-spirit.
Will be fun to play as DPRK i hope, to influence/aid national-liberation struggles and of course to nuke the USA.

anyone care to explain about that missouri post apoc mod that had batshit toozers like "goywaffen" and "foidwaffen" before being banned from r/hoi4modding?

>>46326
That one?

Also found one of the teasers on fucking bleachbooru lmao

>>46332
Wut

I am considering making a schizo/joke mod where Fred Trump, leader of the KKK, leads a coup d'état against the American government in the mid 1930s. Is this something people might find interesting?
It will actually be for DH but there's no thread for that game.

Don't think you can have political changes in game in DH, no focus tree and all the other politics-fluff

>>46362
You absolutely can, though I'm still debating if the coup should occur before game start.

TFR AAR: Between Baltic and Paciic

It is 2040, once formely friends, now they fight for scraps of the world, ravaged by constant climatic crisis, and fighting on the scrapyards of the former world order, led by america, europe and japan.
China and Russia effortlessly dominate the world, creating a new multipolar world, but each power still have different plans for the world, and their relations have broken down

In europe, russia would finally rampage, through also extensive support and aid to iran facing a invasion, and they would repel sucessfully NATO, and counterattack then, marking the downfall of their plans for middle east domination and subsequent defeat at the european continent, europe is ruled, by a new order so, led by liberal conservative's benevolent rule of alexei navalny, and multiple european countries make part of the "refounded EU", known as european economic community, led by russia, the subsequent defeat of france would mark the culmination of the second algerian war and the sahel indepedence war, which france briefly occupied algeria and north africa, but would be violently drawn from there, as their opressors does not have a country and neither can afford occupying africa, the comprador government would manage to seize burkina faso, facing a protracted war there

On the east, china has stood triumphant on americas and europe, and china is tasked by helping the reconstruction of socialism in north and south americas and rebuilding the ruins of south east asia and japan.
Cuba, once starved by the embargo and crisis, would be the shining sea of carribean, being the country with the best standard of life, and cuba would be shaped by chinese eletric cars, and rail infraesctuture, chinese cranes, tractors and concrete slowly build and shape north american territories, and chinese trains and rails slowly shape transit routes on the US.

Both baltic and pacific powers, diametrically opposed, a struggle between communism and liberalism shall face

(i wish i could post on reddit but i absolutely despise reddit and wont ever return to a account)

my TFR headcanon is that a succesful loji run turns into a rogue servitor stellaris empire
