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

I then added a national spirit to (most) Muslim majority countries that aren't in the way of Russia and Europe to represent the blow to Islam after the nuking of Mecca, GFX soon to be made.
I think it'd make more sense to give them an attack (and maybe a DRR?) buff for something like that, because Mecca being nuked would probably radicalise a lot of people into becoming ultra-militant Jihadists, no?

That's the thing, I decided that radical tags like the Taliban and ISIS wouldn't get the debuff to signify how they aren't buckbroken by Mecca being nuked. This means that Al-Shabaab, the West African ISIS tags, and the various Al-Qaeda and ISIS tags that pop up if Pakistan is nuked are indirectly buffed by virtue of most of their enemies (Who are Muslim, kekw) having that debuff.
 
Hmm

Should also have something similar for Iran, Syria (under Assad), Azerbajian, and Hezbollah if Karbala gets nuked too.
 
ISIS however gets an event to invade Kurdistan and Iraq, but that's WIP since I have to bugproof that in case Iraq is a puppet of Iran, and I also have to make a custom peace conference if ISIS gets defeated, probably just release Assad or the FSA again. Here's what it should look like in the end.

Additionally, if Israel knocks out Syria without using the Samson option, the civil war still kicks off and ISIS will invade Lebanon as well (Since Hezbollah is wiped out). Here's what that should look like.

I've always wanted to see a path for ISIS where after consolidating most of the Levant, it leads to an all out war to destroy Israel and conquer the rest of the Arabian peninsula and Egypt, a revival of the massive Islamic Empires of old. If the Samson option is triggered and Mecca is nuked, it leads to ISIS spiraling even deeper into radicalism and down the path of seeking complete nuclear annihilation of the decadent infidels of the West.

Karbala does get nuked, and Mecca is frankly more holy than Karbala even for Shiites, so they get the idea as well.

Slow down there, this is just skeleton content and for a scenario that only happens in 30% of games at that.
 
retarded question but could you fully vibe code a mod with grok or smth? bc i have been wondering how much shit on the workshop gets churned out like that
Hypothetically, probably best with Claude. Would it be good is the real question...
Out of curiosity I tested Grok 4 a few months and it could spit out a very basic focus tree. Probably would have fallen apart with anything more complicated. Best bet is Claude opus. In my experience claude is the best model for more obscure programs and scripts.

I was thinking of training an lm on hoi4 mod code, but the work involved and end result would probably not be worth it.

I've found lms are good for research however, especially with information for more obscure individuals.
 
Mod's 90% done.

And here's the idea icon for the Mecca nuke debuff.

I'm gonna add an idea that gets added to all nations concerning the Suez getting closed, and perhaps expand this content over to an Israel victory scenario since the second Syrian civil war also begins if Israel wins against Syria, for example here's what the biggest possible ISIS can look like in-case the civil war begins after Israel wins against Assad.

Assad's victory image. If you know, you know.

I know. I didn't expect anything from you. Just me hoping for some more official, crazy TFR ME content in the future.
 
But is it playable? I keep hearing the meme in disgroom. Maybe I'm a boomer who fell for the meme.
You can very much play as ISIS in Novum Vexillum and Millennium Dawn, MD even has a path where Bin Laden takes over Saudi Arabia, ISP even did a video where he played as ISIS in MD circa 2018.
