@@ertrick3693 i thought i was the only one lol, i wish they would focus on optimising it and fixing all bugs before they add even more content to it

It's unoptimized and the dev team.. oh boy

Old world blues gets an A for effort and it’s work on some lore related stuff. Really overall I’m happy with the effort they put into it. However, lol, I’m a fallout nerd and in a lot of ways it makes very little sense. Research tree makes no sense, some stories make no sense, and attempts at writing non canon factions, while the present creative ideas, the ideas aren’t fleshed out to match lore or in game realities. Game should be way less balanced. Not enough attention given to Arroyo development.

can't wait for east coast bos/enclave and the institute. Institue would be so op

To be fair, the most important event in the mod is the second battle of Hoover Dam, starting date is close to F:NV's and I believe at the beginning it was basically just NCR, Legion and New Vegas itself, who had focus trees, so I would say that the notion of it being much closer to Obsidian's game than any other. To be fair, you are not incorrect either - it would be incorrect to say that it is "New Vegas mod", because it is more of general "Fallout universe mod" nowadays

He’s just trying to defend the fact he’s a Brony

He's right though, it is S Tier

If there’s a HOI4 Mlp mod, and HOI4 is unintentionally centered around war crimes, and I only play HOI4 for war crimes, and I have this GIGABYTE SIZED MOD used and downloaded, does that make me a brony?

I mean I play eaw buuuuut I always play as a human nation with the escalation 84 submod soo I than can commit a little genocide on the animals.....................I mean sapien beings.

OI mate what you doing here?

Yeah ppl always think of the out there paths like Lovecraft's New England, but forget how other paths are pretty tame and expanded. For example democratic Germany

One of the things that ya'll need to figure out (and myself personally) are targetted decisions, they reduce the amount of tags checked with every decision. Everything performance-wise is incremental - from advisor checks to focus trees to national spirit removal checks to MTTH events to on_daily/on_weekly/on_monthly.

Autism

I remember Dankest Hour, is that where KX grew from? Because if it did then yeah there's a lot of nasty political heritage to shed as well.

@@zacky1010 We were closely related, I think if my memory doesn't fail me KX split from them over some drama, and ended up coexisting after the fact as different mods, a status quo that holds today but suffice to say their last work was long enough ago I can't remember and we've integrated/inherited most of their work we don't have our own replacements for.

Same, easily my fav mod!

Too degenerate for me

Objectively the best and worst mod in existence

EaW is the worst mod ever to get popular

Empire at war?

When I try to run TNO it is very slow on my pc and it's even worse when playing Russian warlords, you can pass like an hour or 2 staring at the same map as the start of the game. Don't get me wrong, TNO is personally my favorite mod and I appreciate the people that put their effort on the production of the story, gameplay, music and others, however no one can ignore this major flaw.

@@chourisso69 I feel the same about the slowness of the mod especially the game freezing for a few minutes when stuff like the GCW starts. You can play around with the economy a bit but in the end that is just flipping a few toggles and hoping for the best.

TNO isn't really a HOI4 mod, it's more of a geopolitical visual novel that loosely uses HOI4 as a base. I'd say that it's biggest problems stem from being a HOI4 mod. First, the infamously slow speed is because HOI4 was made to be a massive clash between superpowers. Therefore, the AI is naturally going to accelerate its army to a massive size. This, among other factors mostly related to the engine it runs on, is what really slows the game. Furthermore, the constant waiting is because HOI4 is a real-time game, and while I think that some waiting is useful, TNO is already slow. Packing down its events makes an already fast-paced decade feel even faster, and the game grinds to a complete halt, all so other nations can finish more action-packed routes. TNO could benefit from being a turn-based game, if it was independent. TNO's issues stem not only from being a HOI4 mod, but being associated with HOI4. People will go into the mod expecting what HOI4 is, a war-based game of world conquest. TNO is more of a political game. On one hand, since Kaiserreich blew up as a mod, HOI4 mods have completely overhauled the political system to be existent. On the other hand, TNO is perhaps the best of any when it comes to US politics, at least. I have my complaints with elections, but the presidential focus trees, regardless of personal politics, are objectively good. I also like that an action will have a reasonable reaction, compared to the main game or other mods. In the Thurmond Administration, for example, repealing the Civil Rights Act causes the people who supported it to become furious and radicalized, and shatters the unity of your party. In other mods, doing that would just make his party more popular. At the same time, most mods use politics as a strong background to wars. TNO, much like the Cold War, uses wars as a background to politics. That's probably the most important difference. TNO is about an alternate Cold War, not an alternate World War II. While I like the linear feel to it, especially due to the 60s being so consequential and being so full of events, a game made specifically for the Cold War would work much better for the game itself. If East vs. West wasn't cancelled, it could be perfect for TNO. Since it doesn't exist, however, it's probably best for the game to stick to HOI4. If the developers ever receive a lot of funding, many, many more members, more inspiration on mechanics, and ever feel like changing the game, TNO could possibly split from HOI4 and become its own game. Highly unlikely, of course, but not impossible. TNO being on its own would also have plenty of problems. All the different nations going down entirely different paths is standard in HOI4, but would be quite difficult for another game. TNO's player base also stems mostly from HOI4 fans who want a more story-based game. If the mod was its own game, it wouldn't have a good way to get more players. A geopolitical visual novel set during the 1960s in which the Nazis won WWII and there are dozens of demented people who can lead/are leading countries is an insane idea. Regardless of if you think it works or not, most people aren't actively searching for that. No sane person would see Dentist Speer, Verify Your Clock, or Bruhgundy, and think, "Finally! Just what I've been craving!" But HOI4 players are no sane people. This was way longer than I expected, but I'm posting it anyway.

TNO has such a dogshit economy system which imo is the biggest thing ruining it for me.

I personally like the economy system in TNO, specifically how you have a much greater indication of running an actual economy with a gdp and debt and spending etc. than when compared to vanilla or most mods

EaW is such a good mod. It has the quality of KR, the chaos of KX, the content of RT56, and writing of TNO. You can meme or play seriously and never run out of paths to play (especially with the Zebrica expansion). My only strife with it is really just its lack of navy focus and as someone who loves playing vanilla Japan or China - I was disappointed not being able to go ham with navy.

@@mosesracal6758 same, ships and planes are cool as hell

Don't understand why people find it so difficult, did it first try

If you don't like cringeworthy writing that feels like it was made by a 14 year old TNO isn't the mod for you either

TNO's writing is solid overall and downright outstanding by HOI4 modding standards. That particular criticism just doesn't hold water, unless there are some horrendously written paths I haven't seen. Other than its "visual novel" gameplay, I think the TNO hate mostly comes from the constant drama surrounding it and its Discord.

The biggest lagspike i encounter in that game is the Peace conference after the great war

@@ajesbayes9057 my biggest lag spike is when equestria goes civil war, and I know that their going to because the game lags at all.

the only reason i do not play it very much is the game run so fucking slow, but it has probably the best focus trees in any mod, with Lovecraft and the, now dead but alive in a submod, goebbels path they are so fucking fun i can't even describe, it has so much stupid paths in it that i probably don't played 3% of the mod not to forget, its submods, like goodbye sweet europe, are fucking amazing to

i've got an obvious bias but judging KX based on its flashy meme paths rather than diving into the meat is bound to fetch it a low rating

KX is so unoptimized though. Also the reason why KX is so good is because it builds upon the already excellent KR.

I like quite a few kx paths for some of the meme paths are way too overpowered

@@felixseaborn8173 sometimes a op path is really fun

From the impressions others have given it, the experience feels similar to something like Fallout Equestria in terms of what world it sets up(I'm not entirely sure of either Fallout or FoE's lore, but it does seem the ministries are by far one of the biggest differences for looking into the lives of individuals living in a nation).

​@@nameynamd9212Yep, Fallout Equestria have a surprisingly really good lore and worldbuilding and in some place i'd say it's more interesting than the real Fallout lore (The Enclave and Dashites are a good example of this imo) It's just that the execution is a bit mid, personally i couldn't go over the fact that Littlepip went from "omg ded people it's horrible" to becoming the reincarnation of John Wick in one chapter 😂

The new mechanics may be neat, but the mess with all the equipment and the absurd lag really bring it down.....

@@ramiel7666 The devs dont have alot of experience so i dont blame them. If it was worked on by experienced ones it would definely shine

I feel like OWB does a much better job with implementing a lot of new mechanics without it being extremely overwhelming. As every country in MD you will have like 40 decisions you can take, making most players just want to unnotify everything. OWB makes the new mechanics very similar to how they would be if PDX actually made them in HOI4, which is much better for players.

@@Oropher420 obviously, the pony fanbase is a lot bigger

Yea, Age of Exploration as well

CWIC is still around my brother in christ; it doesnt receive as many updates because most of the "devs" are contributors who just do stuff for the mod on their spare time and theres not many compared to TNO also some people at TNO are incredibly sus people considering some allegations made against them which have a ton of proof but i'm not too sure if you know about that so i wont criticize (unrelated to your comment but more to shakey's video the massive debuffs for china just look scary, its pretty easy to win even after NSB especially now that there is a submod that reduces the debuffs, its just kind of tedious. i made a guide on how to win it and it wasnt hard at all)

@@basedcapybara6967 yeah but i wouldn’t really say that the creators matter in this topic since it’s ranking the mods themselves and not the creators but I respect your opinion

OWB has more than it, and with better lore, which is not nonsensical

@@edgy22 Does it have a completely unique hand-crafted map with dozens of new game mechanics, unique events, new resources, special interactions, over a hundred modders, and multiple sub-mods? Because Equestria at war has all of these things and more, and they have added extensive lore to nearly all nations, along with unique focus trees.

@@samueltrusik3251 umm… yes, it does

If you don’t believe me just look it up, or play the game yourself

@@samueltrusik3251 it has like 100 sub mods, hand-crafted map with incredibly complex and unique terrain, incredible new mechanics like a refugee system, bottle cap system with trade routes (economy), a scavenging mechanic, hundreds of new countries (each of which with paragraphs of lore,tens of focus trees, new weapons, new equipment, etc.. it does

not to mention that TNO has done away with some of it's only interesting features, such as Atlantropa, in pursuit of being more accurate, when there are some hilariously outlandish ideas still in the mod

@@MazzerFXDesigns Yeah, they're like "We can't make a good storyline for PW without cutting atlantropa, also it's terribly inaccurate, but we're still keeping funni clock man taboritsky as a full Russian unifier." Also the mod is super biased (especially usa) towards liberal democracies and moderate socialists. Yockey is an obvious fail path, but Gus Hall feels railroaded towards dictatorship. Harrington and johnson feel like the "accepted" paths, like speer g04 in germany.

Yeah, I liked Red World before too. Red World is something youd get if you want a TNO that didnt take themselves too seriously and although they couldve just removed the genocidal stuff - pathwise it was one of the more interesting mods to play as

And the Red Flood team still wants to remove some other paths (i think Rosenberg in the Baltic is going away) To be fair i had more fun playing old Austria than the new one since they made it quite generic.

Does someone know if someone made a red flood redux mod yet?

It *does* make sense, because surprise surprise, radicalism *does NOT* work, just like communism, *especially* in the US. Just be a decent Human being and stick to being a moderate will you?

Keep in mind that the developers of the mod are very anti-authoritarian of any type (plus Hall and Yockey aren't finished yet and Heydrich was really meant to be a Himmler puppet anyways, plus Tabby is literally a psychopathic scitsophrenic Nazi so yeah thats fun) and so many of their more radical authoritarian paths will be difficult to control (as would make sense if your leader vows to bathe the world in nuclear fire.)

Yeah it feels like the devs have already chosen a path each country needs to take and ends your playthrough if you don't follow it

Well, EAW doesn't really have any sort of development plans besides already released Zebrica and rework of Equus, besides that every faction is sort of a personal project of few devs rather than one team, and only if nation has any devs, there were suppose to be many other factions that were suppose to have overhaul, like Olenia but the dev quited and Gryncelf but this dev had to take long time off net but might still be continuing. I appears that we will get more and more smaller updates along the big ones, like the "guns of the patriots" expansion that will probably add focus tree for Westkeep,Polar Bears, Adelart and MAYBE Grynclef, alongside the expansion of secret path for Hippogryfia and communist path for Angriver. So it seems that Zebrica was the biggest problem in production was too much ideas for the release, some factions were just too ambitious at the time, but for example some regions are already in good development process, such as Great Lakes or Kirins Realm.

Border conflicts in EaW are pdx fault. They never really worked well to begin with As for content for empty nations, there will be no more map expansions, so all of the devs effort will go into populating the map. A lot of new countries and some old ones dont have content, but those that do are usually massive. Honestly, I would worry more about devs keeping it all working together in balance than new content. Im sure there will be quite a few updates with new trees after next dlc

@@hopin8krzys Hopefully it all goes well.

I'm pretty ignorant of hungarian history overall, but their old borders and beef with the austrians please my monkey brain, and I had a great experience with the mod overall. Unlike vanilla, all paths are fun imo and you can do some pretty wacky shit with your neighbours. I would say that for what it proposes, it's a perfect (very generalized use of the word) mod

​@@apollyon2018 The hungarian history is one of the most impressive ones in the history of Europe , and gamewise the idea of restoring the old borders of the 1000 y o hungarian kingom makes a great base for the mod. The fact that there are not just 4 complete ways (democratic, fascist, communist, monarchy), but 2-3 different ways to play the same ideology, for ALL the ideologies (like for fascists, u can go and reinforce the regency and have Horthy as the fascist leader, or support the hungarist movement and get Szálasi or Imrédy as ur leader). Overall theres over 10 ways to play with Hungary with this mod and u definitely gonna spend over 100 hours exploring it. In vanilla (i mean all the dlcs, no mods), it would be on the same level as Polands focus tree, which is very impressive.

TNO : For Story' TWR : For Gameplay

My first play through of that mod I was playing as the Russian Republic. I had sent volunteers to the military Okrug to my west but was unable to make any gains because I sucked (and still kinda do.) Because of this I was locked out of a lot of expansion. What I did do however was send volunteers to rebel states all across Europe as the Reich crumbled. Switzerland? Volunteers. Czechia? Volunteers. Western Russia? Volunteers. Caucasus? Volunteers. It felt nice to invest myself in all these conflicts across the world to fight for freedom.

I mean TNO had it's chance but after deleting so much content to the point that there is less stuff than it was at the start of a game is really something. As for leaders besides the Magadan and the australian tsar they really weren't that engaging as characters in a story focused mod.The mod need fixes but I don't think that it was that much in that direction, maybe the new update with Guanzong be different

@@koneser8197 But it won't really change because the main dev is really autistic about his vision so he bans anyone who gives him critique

@@kaloyandraganov9462 There is no longer any main dev, they abolished the position. Now it's divided into groups who develop the nations they want with the consent of the majority of the other devs.

Red Flood is such a unique and cool mod. There's definitely more work that can be done on it, I'd love to see focus tree's for stuff like Prussia and some reworks for existing focuses would be nice too. But besides that the tone and style really sets it apart, the closest comparison I can think of is maybe Kaisserredux and parts of TNO (Holy Russian Empire, other Russian paths, etc)
