Effectively mandatory for all playthroughs where scripted peaces aren’t a factor. Puts (you) in total control of the peace proceedings so post-war Europe/Asia looks pretty.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=846066944

>Toolpack
Gives the player a togglable menu to change party popularity, give buildings, transfer states and annex, etc. Great for getting yourself/an AI country out of trouble, or fixing bordergore.

>Better AI
Swaps the stock AI package for one that is much more aggressive, and gives them in-game stat buffs. Best for people who think base HOI4 is too easy. Not compatible with mods that also change the AI/unit types.

>Industrial Expansion
Adds 5 new building types to refine steel, aluminum, tungsten, chromium and coal. Adds a new infrastructure type of the same name as the mod, adding building slots the more IE is built.

And now, the news!
————
Most of the big mods have now updated for 1.17, but Requiem still lags behind unfortunately.

Two big mods have even had Christmas updates too! The Fire Rises added a full post war path to the Union of America, and Red Dusk gave much more content to the UK, Czechoslovakia, and general QoL changes mod-wide.

But unfortunately, this Christmas was not a happy one for TFR. Most of the mod’s China team in the People’s Republic of China was forced to go underground and leave the modding scene after… something happened to the China lead. A rumor came out that MSS black bagged him, but there’s no confirmation yet. With most of the members of CN-TFR gone, the TFR team has formally disbanded CN-TFR.

We do have some words of assurance, as their head devs said this won’t impact 1.1’s release, and will only delay further China content. Whether or not this will pan out remains to be seen.

Please, pray for the safety and well-being of our brethren on the other side of the great firewall.

Here at the Cyberhearts team we are proud to present you our first big teaser! For the jolly Christmas times, we thought fitting to showcase one of the possible paths for Poland: Post-Deluge Christian Democracy. It is one of the 3 (?) possible paths this country has and we can't wait for you all to play it.

Also, as an additional Christmas present, we have included our version of the song that makes Mariah Carey get a trillion dollars each Holiday Season. Made by our local talent, Rice.

May you all enjoy Christmas if you celebrate it. If you don't, may you enjoy it anyways. Hug those you love and stuff yourselves as much as you'd like. From the entire Cyberhearts team, Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year!
Please also note that any aesthetic choices and GFX designs are absolutely not final and will probably be changed!! (the focus tree design and the event design will definitely be changed)

It's just cool playing as a US military detachment stuck up in Canada and trying to rebuild the US up in the freezing north. It also has a somewhat challenging start which is nice.

it's outdated by today's standards as the mod creator passed away a long time ago.
there are 3 continuation mods:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3279394255
For this one, I know Germany and Canada have new content.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2166453693
Note that this isn't update for the latest game version and is the ""official"" continuation
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947610779
This one isn't updated either.
You can downgrade your game to the last version on steam easily though.
For recommended countries, probably one of the eastern USA countries.
>>Red Dusk
Soviet Union has really good content.
UK & USA are pretty good too.
>>Old World Blues
Can be a bit overwhelming, because this changes everything including the tech trees and how divisions work.
Most countries with unique content are fine I think.

>>2309452
Because mechs (also a Metal Gear reference) and Gundams are cool.

>>2309451
I'll give it a shot, thanks again anon.
>>2309453
I went with the "official" continuation since that came up first when searching Red World. I'll try out Red Dusk and OWB first then. Thanks to you too.

I'm trying to do the WEF path and it keeps crashing.

>>2309457
>I went with the "official" continuation since that came up first when searching Red World

is a direct fork of that, so you wouldn't need to downgrade if you play that

>>2309461

Union of Heartlands too but it is pretty shit compared to Canada and Germany

>>2309457
>I went with the "official" continuation
Sadly it will never do anything worthwhile. It started to finish the Canada, German, Soviet update of the original creator and never delivered. Instead it produced content for bunch of worthless shitholes and Spain.

>>2309510

>>2309520
Not as far as I'm aware, and that's a good thing. NG+ mechanics have their place in some places, HOI4 isn't one of them, since it's not very interesting to play the same path twice in a row. I was looking forward to the locked content stuff, and now it turns out I have to do an almost identical run again to access it.

>>2309534
Personally if I like a new path enough I'll usually run it back anyway, I can understand having an issue with it here though due to how long and content dense the path is. However I didn't mind it.

>>2309393
>>2309396

Ok, starting out with Poland is fine, CDPR and all that.

>>2309520
AFAIK no. TFR is the trailblazer in this regard.
TFRDEITIES dunking on TNOtroons as usual.

Has anyone else played Age of Imperialism? I like it overall but it feels somewhat unfinished and definitely unpolished with advisor portraits still not being implemented. The general setup is good but it feels very random with the wars which seem to just happen for no reason and out of nowhere. I think it would be a better idea to have set enemies such as Germany vs Russia and France rather then the way it is currently implemented. There is just so much more room to improve regarding why wars happen.

>>2309551
>TNOtroons
It's even worse. They got rid of the schizo troons like Pacifica and all creative autists are long since gone. The mod is currently being run by centrist normies. It's gotten so bad that people long for when troons ran it.

>>2309560
Also a significant amount of faction joining by minor nations is just annoying, especially when it barely makes sense. It just turns the entire world into one big cluster of inter connected wars which is not enjoyable to play. I think an interesting way to do it is, for example, to have Japan declare war on Russia if they are distracted with Germany and Finland yet do not have any other Commonwealth nation join it so that that area of the map gets active without causing the world to become flooded. Similarly a limited war between Britain and rebelling colonies could be implemented rather then have India join a faction centred in Europe which is just odd. A war between Britain and the United States could work also but that again would need a good level of setup to make work.

>>2309560
it feels like a good sandbox mod from the few countries I played since its pretty much always randomized on what faction people join

Continuing with my senate idea, I put MC as the example because I don't know of any other mods that do an alliance thing. However, I think it turned out good.
Copypasted from previous thread:

TFR devs,

if you're reading this, J6 is the best possible day for a Oct 18 repeat, with the big batch of teasers, thunderdome guy coming back, and the 1.1 release date announcement.
A great poaching of submods could help too, especially the Asia-related ones.
Best case scenario is if you create a federation of toozer/demo mods like FMTW, DiB, Iron Throne, BYC, revived EGD and Godspeed, Mad God, JD, XU, PaxBrit, TOTA, Age of Imperialism, Pride and Fall, The Multipolar World, that 1984 mod, Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, Love Thy Neighbor (revived), Pax Von Der Weltkrieg: Redux, On the Clouds of Heaven, and so on to allow for a stable rotation of devs between mods to prevent burnout and a good flow of ideas.
I was planning it to be run by a senate of head devs and mods, divided into multiple parties which are themselves divided into cauci for every mod in the party, plus a party of custom superevent creators, hoitubers, famous fans in the community and IRL minor political figures that know about the mod like Jereb and Gunther.
Every week, a delegate from a party would present a decision, which would then be voted on by the senate, Reddit, 4chan and the sharty. The threads would be monitored by a trifecta of sharts, anons and redditors in shifts to curb potential drama, stop raids and organize the discord.
Kiwis would archive the whole thing, monitor votes and watch over jannies.
The lolcows are to be denied from voting or their vote price is to be decreased to have only a slight impact on voting.
In the case of mass deletion, the kiwis are to keep a personal copy of the code.
In case of vote tampering, the voting process is to be scuttled and the reins of power handed over to Novo.

>Sincerely,
>Idea Guy

>>2309572
That's true, I think I just lean the other way where I'd prefer a more structed setting with alternatives available like World War One with different allied nations but the primary world war still happening. Most of my issues with the random wars all over the place dragging majors into them could be solved with a neutrality game rule honestly.

Eastern Conflict is a mod about 1991, when, after the start of democratic reforms in the Soviet Union, its people, who had been isolated from the rest of the world for decades, began to demand freedom. At the same time, Germany, which had reunified just a year earlier, was going through difficult times. Although it seemed that the German people were united again, their society was still divided. East Germany, which had previously been under the GDR, supported the ideas of communism and socialism, while the west supported democratic ideas. At that time, the US had become the world's number one country. Its foreign policy can be described as “global policing”. At the beginning of 1991, the US was already preparing to liberate Kuwait from occupation by Iraq, which had occupied it at the end of 1990.

The heads of mod decided to replace the map with a new, larger one. It will include Eurasia, North and part of Central Africa, as well as part of North America. This opens up the possibility for us to create content for countries such as China, Japan, India, North and South Korea, as well as expand content to existing countries and maintaining our original idea of a detailed post-Soviet continent!

More detailed information - At the moment, the map has nearly 20,000 provinces (which is 7,000 more than in the vanilla version, but the number may still change), with Europe as our priority receiving the most provinces.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS ONLY AN EARLY VERSION OF THE MAP, AND IT WILL MUCH BETTER AFTER POLISHING

>>2309689
Gay rights were a thing in 1991, but a lot more limited than in the 00s when LGBT became a thing. This seems like a mistaken insertion of more modern progressive politics in an older setting. People often forget that current year LGBT stuff was considered parody before Obama's second term.

>>2309693

Buchanan ended up being my road back to normality. I would've HATED him if he was in office at either time, but in the end I wound up becoming a paleocon myself. His books were a very important bridge from the left to the right because I just hated neocons and associated them with the right, but reading him critique neocons better than any leftist ever did at the time won me over. Man wasn't perfect, but he might've been America's best shot at winning the peace in 1992 following the cold war.

Plenty of ways that GWOT as we know it could've been prevented without going full end of history liberal. Saying that it was inevitable is just as silly as saying that neoliberal hegemony forevermore is inevitable. If we go by the official story, all it would've taken would've been for airport security to have caught on to the fact that the hijackers were bringing in box cutters onboard.

Even limited Reagan interventions were a possibility after 9/11 and that is not even considering simply choosing to use special forces with heavy cover and recon in force to annihilate terrorist power centres. There were so many other options a paleocon could have taken that would not have led to multiple forever wars. This is why I am interested in Red Dusk's Pat Buchanan path (if they ever actually get around to it).

I did a check earlier and to my understanding it was just some interactions with China, Pakistan and India. Nothing really. The mod would be much better for the UK if they shifted some of the timeline like they did with the Russians to have something other then what actually happened. I think something like still owning Hong Kong and therefore creating a flashpoint for the UK to focus on would be cool, perhaps even have a Tory in charge at the start to allow for more alternate history - follow the historical path of Labour, continue the Tories or get someone slightly more extremer given the still powerful Communist world. That could be done even with Blair as a starting leader but still, if Quayle is in charge in the US then clearly Pandora's box is already open.

From what I remember, if you fail to keep Blair in power and let the LibDem-Tory coalition fail, the radical wing of Labour takes control, if you then win the 2005 election, you can abolish the monarchy.

You can choose to peacefully hold a referendum and become the "British Republic", or you can try to violently overthrow the monarchy.

Last time I checked, the focuses were locked due to it being unfinished, but you can use commands to have a look at some of the unfinished stuff.

That is all so shit. What is it with devs writing the dumbest stuff for the UK. At no point in the Blair era was the UK even close to a civil war and especially not over the monarchy and that would not change because the Soviet Union limped on to the new millennium. Now I am not saying not to write that content, if someone finds that interesting then go ahead, but the fact they have chosen to spend time on that rather then a myriad of other less ridiculous options when much of the mod's content is so unpolished is so irritating. If they wanted to explore the topic of a far-left government and the corresponding establishment response then they should take a note out of "A Very British Coup" rather then write some Royalist-Republican civil war in the year this fucking came out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqLLDZvbG-U [Embed]

The paths meant for the player like Caligula and Cognoscenti? Sure. But the other paths are just fucking boring. Neoliberalism, Neoconservatism, and the most milquetoast socialism possible. I'm not saying they're a bad tag or anything, they have their place as the moderate establishment. I just think them winning the 2ACW is the most boring outcome imaginable when you don't take the player paths into account.

They just throw shit at an already overloaded spaghetti code and call it a day. They haven't bothered trying to optimize anything, KX still needs a future quantum supercomputer to run.

>>2310210
You clearly dont play it. They have been optimising stuff all the time, and it loads faster than EAW, RF or TFR, and I have a computer from 2019.
The code is the least of its issues nowadays.
The issue is that the mod stopped being innovative or daring.
It happened to EAW, it happened to RF, it happened to KX.
That is why Collapsing World is my new best friend.

>>2310218
>faster than EaW
This is either false, or a recent development. Last I tried KX main menu load times were well in excess of an hour and it hit endgame lag in March of the first year.

is anyone else irrationally upset when a nation's focus tree is shown all at once? KX and some older KR nations have this problem. more mods really need to start dynamically showing/hiding focus subtrees

>This is either false, or a recent development.
It has been like that for me ever since they added Zebrica. It takes forever to load.

>>2310234
It takes less time for me than KX, and runs in EaW are actually possible without it becoming real time.

I heard they wanted to/plan on releasing it before the American Experiment so it's definitely possible. I could see it being 1.0.9.5/9 and basically serve as the last update before 1.1.

>>2310597
A lot of that looks great but I'm way more of "Eternal President" guy then "King Trump" guy, though of course I'd like a Caligula tier Donald. I think there is room for a Radical Nationalist/Extreme Patriot Trump which dips into Dark Maga, you could even tie it to some other factions like the Confederates and Patriot Front but have the Republican CIA wipe out their leadership and supplant it with loyalists who will bend the knee.

American Carnage seems to be Caligula-lite, which I like. It's just a Trump whose patience has run thin, savior complex is dialed up to eleven, ego is through the roof, and determination is out of this world. He hasn't gone insane like Biden does, he's just had certain qualities emboldened and his restraints removed. I hope his path remains relatively 'grounded' compare to Caligula Biden, nothing with him becoming an AI so he can be president forever. At most maybe the Trumps becoming America's royal family and America becoming a thinly veiled absolute monarchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuuwM0Afqo [Embed]

Does the American Constitutional government need to be around for the countryside insurgency to reach level 10 and rise up? I find conflicting information on this and the TFR wiki doesn’t have a direct answer on its dedicated page.

>>2310643
Yes, don't cap them until you've hit insurgency level 10. Fuck them up as much as possible, but don't finish them off.

Now that the dust has settled, do (You) like Purity or Order's path more? For me it's still Purity, but primarily because I find the concept of Catharsis to be extremely kino and the coolest thing to come out of the mod, really hyped for the post-catharsis content.

>>2310705
I'm more of a Cognoscenti guy because I think the idea of the Pre-2ACW system being nominally 'restored' but really just an extended arm of some shadowy cabal is cool shit.
It gives you more to think about when there's still a veneer of respectability rather than Schwab's mask-off totalitarianism.

>>2310705
I think there's something a little more impressive about just how brutal Purity is. As well as that, it doesnt deny you the satisfaction of thwarting them at the end, be it either by playing as Russia or by seeing Catharsis bring them down. The Cognoscenti on the other hand have Judas' conspiracy but its at the middle of the run instead of at the end so it doesn't really feel like an equally possible ending and instead just looks like a regular failure.

Go in blind, recommend an American faction for your frist playthrough. It'll be about a year or two before things get interesting. If you don't want to play as Trump or Biden, side with Biden in the 2020 State of The Union as that'll unlock the non-federal tags you can see in the main menu when selecting your country.

Have fun, and tell us how things went!
If you want some basic gameplay advice:
Air power is stronger than vanilla by a mile, and mechanized is King. You'll need to adapt slightly if you're used to vanilla gameplay, but it's not too difficult. Go-to templates usually have a large number of IFVs with some SPGs and tanks mixed in. If you aren't totally green though this part shouldn't be a problem unless you're playing something like Atomwaffen where all your templates are shit.

I find the World Government more interesting as a concept, but the Cognoscenti is probably the best path TFR has released so far. I'm super excited for Post-Catharsis though, seems really interesting.

>>2310762
Medvedev's Russia is probably the most straightforward and functional out of all Russian paths. It offers what you'd expect: huge continental land wars across Europe between you and NATO. If you go reformist as Medvedev, you can get yourself into a lot of unique ideologies too as he can get successors that rum the gambit from fascists to communists any anything in between. France and Germany have some alright things, but I'd pick Russia for a first playthrough.

If you're more into naval warfare, play as either Japan or China. I'm agnostic about the Chinese routes but LDP is a pretty good one for Japan. That'll require you to have a good naval component as well since it involves major battles across the Pacific.
