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

@GoodWinSon

In order to be able to equip all of my soldiers properly without going into a deficit, I decided that all of my divisions will look like this:

Is this a good template to use for reunifing Russia?

Also, was the AI buffed? I seem to lose a shitton of manpower for some reason.
That template should be fine. Generally pushing with infantry loses a lot of manpower, so when you can build some armor divisions.

The ai does receive some buffs, but the manpower loss is probably due to the above.
Back when Manchuria was directly controlled by Japan. If I remember correctly, those befriend focuses didn't even create alliances. They just gave you opinion boosts and a lot of the time the ideological difference malus meant you couldn't even ally them before Germany allied or invaded them.

The only political content was replacing FDR with Alf Landon, or keeping Chamberlain.

This game has been supported longer then CK2, and almost as long as EU4.

Hoi5 when? Can't wait to see that trainwreck.
I agree that it could be fun, my main concern is if any consensus can be reached at all, considering how vast the gulf is. Any arrangement similar to this would be incredibly volatile and could crumble apart at any moment, especially when you consider that any participant in this could simply screenshot some of the things they say about each other and spread the chaos to the wider community. There may be intense harassment campaigns and people quitting en-masse.
Or they could stick with what we have now and preserve the NPP, R-D split. It's fictional parties so the cattle can't get as riled up about real world politics.

What’s the ratio of Infantry as mentioned above to Armored as you mentioned should be for army composition? How much factories should I dump into armored vehicles?

Also, how come there is no field marshal for the Aryan Brotherhood?
 
I need somewhere to dump these creative writing pieces mod development documents. Some of them are probably buried in this thread already.

Pretty sure you could invade via mil access back then too, or at least cross the border.

I have zero faith in HOI5, but I think it'll be funny if nothing else.
 
Also operation paperclip still happens in yippie, Basically half the cia and fbi are former NKVD operatives. I’m not joking btw it’s in the yippie dev diary, So I guess glowies glow red instead of green in the tno tomeline
See this is more of what is interesting that they fumble. It should be revealed or part of the plot that America is the one funding the Red Army Faction in Germany. Basically the NKVD should have taught America how to do societal subversion and that should be what America does to Japan. Literally infiltrating their universities with pro-Western and leftist/liberal ideas. As you said they should glow Red. There are so many interesting ideas they just DON'T do. I think even Sooty Soot of all fucking people once made a joke of Lysenko getting paper clipped and his experiments lead to Chris-Chan in the TNO timeline. A stupid joke idea but at least that had more thought, heart, and soul put into then Mango does.

Hate to break it to you but america is actually doing that in TNO. They actively fund left wing terrorists in germany via iceland. Mostly just generic socialists but some of that money goes to communists if washington isn’t paying too much attention. How did you think Hmmlrs left resistance got their hands on m14s?

The NKVD elements are not very concerned with japan, They are actually more willing to ally with them against the nazis. This is a broader trend of the american left being very warm to japan in the TNO tl. The NKVD elements are more focused on bringing america culturally leftward so they can never align with the germans. This means clamping down hard on american right wingers and segregationists, infiltrating universities, and using propoganda in the media. It’s basically an open secret that the FBI operates as a secret police that fabricates evidence against suspected fascists. It’s not really hoovers intent for the FBI to glow this red as it’s more the doing of lower level agents who do it on the down low.

Hoovers FBI in the tno timeline is less his personal plaything and more a beast that he has to tame. If the TNO devs were smart they would make the deep state be run by a cabal of former communists who become left wing fascist new dealers after arriving in california

Btw cali is full of russian left wingers, So LA is likely even worse in the TNO timeline

edit: Clarification, white russians went to america too but they were a small minority compared to the giant wave of former communists. Most white russians don’t actually live in russia, They live in manchuria and a lot of the criminal underworld has russians in it. It was actually debated whether russians would be another race in the manchurian union OTL so I think it should be an option to integrate them depending on the manchuria path. I don’t think they will but it’s certainly an interesting idea. I think park would do it since plenty of white russians are ardent fascists like he is and many have military experience that could be used to train the manchurian republican army

A foreign cabal of pre-great purge Bolsheviks "Russians" secretly monopolising violence in the united states so that they can destroy the enemies of the world revolution and destroy America from within? I wont stand for such baseless antisemitism or something
 
Are we 100% sure Burgundy wasn't based off of Israel?

Less destroy america from within and more use america as a golem to destroy their enemies

Yeah the allegory gets more antisemitic the more you think about it. Its funny because it litteraly vindicates hitler believing that america was secretly controlled by a cabal of judeo bolshivists attempting to destroy europe

You could say in a roundabout way; Hitler did nothing wrong

Is that actually a thing since I have not touched TNO in years and don't feel like slogging. In old TNO America would support socialists in Vuvuzela, and Asia and had hints that neo-con bitch would do so too but were opposed to African socialists who were ironically Japan aligned. As for in Europe America had less of a connection to those commies and did not have ties to Red Army Faction in Germany or even some of the other commies though commie England could join the OFN in the past.

The US does not have direct ties to the RAF, But they do have a connection to reishsbanner and antifa. It’s sort of like how the US indirectly funded proto al-Qaeda by giving shit to the mujahadeen. They aren’t fond of communism but washington pretends not to notice where the funds go

For latin america they promote Gaitanists who are technically socialists but are more akin to hardcore revolutionary social democrats, The americans do support the CRN which is a coalition of gaitanists and other more radical socialists. They also supported castro because he was also a gaitanist. For Africa they do not support socialists whatsoever. They support decolonization but only with liberal US aligned native led states, Socalists tend to align with ghana and kamerun who the US works with to dismantle colonialism but past that it’s open hostility. Japan doesn’t support socialists either they support native nationalists instead of liberals, They don’t care for democracy in africa, only their business interests.

For asia it’s the same where the US promotes liberals against japanese tyranny, They do not want communism in asia. Ideally the americans want the socialists to work with the liberals so the americans can use and discard them after they are no longer useful. the socialists are very much aware of this and are thus hesitant to work with washington
 
Reading this it just hit me that Germany has been reworked for roughly half of HOI4's lifetime and we're still unlikely to see it release this year.
Jesus your right time flys. Speaking of development time, How long did it take for base tno to develop? Because I heard it took 2-3 years for it to develop and even then they under delivered since they removed stuff from previous dev diary’s

Regardless of who’s in charge, TNO has always had a culture of obsessive perfectionism
