/r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

[Sooty Soot]

@GoodWinSon How's progress on GO4 Germany so far, and how close is it to completion? Also what do you think about adding more decisions to Schwabs path? I made 3 different portraits for him with the suit, the Abweher uniform, and NSDAP uniform, and I think we should put all three to use by having Schwab make certain decisions through events boost 3 respective values: Technocratic, Securocratic, and Apparatchik, where Schwab either promotes the (relatively) apolitical technocrats, the RND/Abweher like Yuri Andropov with the KGB, or the party a la Brezhnev.

Ultimately, Schwab is still a technocrat at heart and the technocrats will follow him no matter what but prioritizing the technocrats kicks Dengism up to 11 securing domestic and economic stability, prioritizing the securocrats ensures Germany will dominate the 80's intelligence-wise, and prioritizing the party ensures Germany won't just fall into apolitical authoritarian developmentalism like the IRL PRC but actually keep the NSDAP fully commited to (Speer's) National Socialism well into the 21st century, maybe throw in a Call of Duty Cold War reference in the securocrat path for the hell of it too.

Schwabs path

How do you get Schwab in RA ?

How do you get Schwab in RA ?

Follow the 70's Dengist Speer path and you'll get him around 1980-81. Of course, Dengist Speer isn't completed yet so you just have to sit through the 70's doing nothing, but his tree is fully completed with custom icons, localisation, and events bar 1 focus dependent on GAW content.

It's done, bros.

@GoodWinSon I'll send you a .zip of all the files, beware that some of the .gfx files are from an older build but I've commented any and all Schwab additions with ###schwab or some variation.

@GoodWinSon bro, I had an idea for TNO:RA for a little itty bitty consequence of the South African War. An earlier and worse AIDS crisis.
The humanitarian crisis and mass migrations sparked by the war allow the virus to spread throughout sub-Saharan Africa, where it then gets picked up by soldiers deployed to the region through prostitution, battlefield blood transfusions and unsanitary field hospitals, and drug abuse. It gets brought back en masse to the States and possibly Germany through the 60s, being recognized during the 70s. AIDS hits like a bombshell during the turbulent TNO 70s, with radicals on both sides using it to try and gain political point. The far-right points to it as a clear symptom of the rot of miscegenation and homosexuality, while the far-left comes up with wild conspiracy theories about German bio-weapons. Gameplay wise it’s a crisis that you need to manage/exploit during the 70s.

G4 Germany is going well. My hope is I can have it finished in under a month. Really, the most time consuming part has been the Reichstag and election mechanics but a good portion of it has already been coded. Currently working on descriptions for the laws, which is tedious more then anything. From there it's still some weeks of work, but the good news is that the reichstag mechanics cover the political quota.

Good idea for a Schwab mechanic. Maybe your choices as Speer influence what Schwab you get.

Aside from India, Goering is the second most cursed piece of code in TNO.

Got it.

Thanks.
Next time I am not reforming wehrmacht , because trying to fight Russia and their 1000+ divisions with peace time division cap of 50 is not fun.
@GoodWinSon Hey could you please add focus , event ,decision or something that forces China to join Mongol - Japanese war ? .

It has been going on for almost 20 years .
And in my previous ROA run it happened as well so this is not just isolated instance of pdx ai being retarded.Mengjiang is Chinese puppet(btw)

I know that in newer TNO versions if the war dragged on long enough, Mengjiang could complete a focus to call in Japan or if Mongolia capped Mengjiang Japan would automatically declare war on them.

Atomwaffen being able to take the country (which requires a good player because of how weak they start) is a nazi power fantasy.
The Siberian Black Army being able to build nukes by crowdfunding and conquering Russia meanwhile, is not a power fantasy.

Agh, I thought I had fixed that bug. Basically it's two issues where the Japan ai won't attack Mongolia and the Mongolia white peace effect is bugged where MON will peace out with everyone except MAN and JAP. I was under the impression I fixed the former issue at least but apparently not. I went back and found there was some incorrectly coded ai code that prevented Japan from attacking. It should be fixed now I hope.

The latter issue I will also fix later, since I eventually want Mongolia to have its own content as well.

Have you finished the Schwab path yet? What did you think about it?

TFR fans discovered that Brandon Russell collaborated with a science YouTuber years ago.

He did study nuclear physics after all.



Also, the TFR subreddit is terrible as always.

The one good post there that I know is this:

Very buggy, but had a lot of fun.

I don't know who's the baboon gorilla nigger in charge of playtesting is at TFR, but if this is the standard for small updates, then I dread what 1.1 will be like.

For some reason every other update has issues.
1.0.5 France update, buggy on release
1.0.7 Germany, EU and Revanchist China update, no major issues
1.0.8 small Russia update, VERY buggy
1.0.9 Deepstate UOA update, no major issues
1.0.9.1 Prewar germany update, tbf no major bugs but still kinda buggy like you showed

if this trend continues then hopefully 1.1 will be a great update if it's the next one.

I'm still waiting next major update. It's been like four years?

I checked out the Github build and while obviously broken, I'm very excited considering the amount of content they've added, one could say too much since even Liberia has a focus tree.
