The Hearts of Iron Megathread

Reader mode
Well, it looks like I'm eating my words regarding Pacifica, even if TNO will march on.

This is a bit embarrassing, but... What exactly is Pacifica renowned for? I never knew anything about her except that Panzer liked and trusted her enough to hand leadership off to her. The first thing I read that I know was written by her is her resignation notice.

I think someone also referred to Komi as "her baby?" Sadly ironic in that case, since I'm in the middle of a Komi run and just unified West Russia.

IIRC she was one of the main coders and a lot of TNO was built on her code base?

Quite a bit of lore, code, general mod management, the entire Zhdanov path, several other Russian warlord concepts etc.

What are you eating your words on in any case?
 
Well that's too bad. This whole situation is just horrible. Like, I know TNO has been through things like this before during its development, but this whole massive dox leak just takes the cake.

On top of that, Zhdanov is my favorite Komi path and the only Komi path I plan on playing into the 70s. It's just so fascinatingly disturbing to go along with. Seeing the results of Zhdanov's twisting of the scientific method to suit his needs will be absolutely intriguing.
 
It's sad they are receiving such hate from Russians, when IMVHO some of the Russian unifiers are simply some of the best moments of the entire game ( other mods and vanilla included ).

I have to confess that I don't really like TNO too much. It's too dark and depressing for me.

But still, taking one of the (few) decent warlords out there trying to give their people a chance, and achieving it, is incredibly rewarding, and honestly the fact that some (idiotic) people get pissed off because their opinions are not heard is ... sad.

Even if the damned nazi zombies destroy all what you achieved because you never knew the halloween special was ... kinda putrid :p

I appreciate the love and support from all of you and know the team probably does too.

Though I'd like to stress that we aren't degenerates like the guys attacking us, and we have never doxxed or attacked others and don't support others doing it for us. We and they have enough drama with a policy of non-engagement.

That's because the possible Russias that can emerge aren't those that these neo-fascists want. They don't want Tomsk's Humanist Russia, the democratic Russian Federation, the rebirth of the USSR or the Russian Empire, not even wholesome Sablin's ideal Marxist-leninist country, what they want is Tabby's Holy Russian Empire's mass genocide without the logical consequence of a kafkaesque failed state that self-destruct at high speed, they want the Aryan Brotherhood or Amur without the game telling them that those are horrible human beings and their unified country a hellscape, but to be praised for it.

I think it's because it's the biggest mod that have the Axis victorious and Nazi Germany all powerful (in Europe), which caters to their neo-fascist phantasm, but then get butthurt when they realize that it's actually an initial setup to show the reality that fascist systems are a barely-functional sham fated to either implode or completely change to avoid complete collapse.

Speaking of Nazi Germany being (mostly) all powerful (in Europe), TWR is reworking the Russian area.
It now consists of the USSR (still under Lavrentiy Beria) with separate Kazan (under Ivan Konev) and Kazakh (under Andrey Vlasov) military districts, the Russian Republic (under Anatoly Rogozhin) with a separate Buryat (under Alexey Baksheev) military district, and three 'splitters', the Soviet Republic of Novosibirisk (under Andrei Zhdanov, although effectively controlled by Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Voznesensky), the Soviet Government of Krasnoyarsk (under Georgy Zhukov, who broke away from Novosibirisk) and the Yeniseyk Governorate (under Pavel Frenkel). There's also indications of further shifts in the idea descriptions - for example, Vasily Zaitsev still apparently has his 'Traditionalist Socialist' ideas, but he's now in Krasnoyarsk.

Closer to HOI4, I guess (which isn't really a bad thing. TNO already does the virtual novel-ish approach rather well, and TWR starts closer to HOI4's timeframe). Relatively down-to-earth starting scenario, but with more out-there paths available (with some work).
 
What I'm getting from this is that the Russian Nazi trolls really, really want a heroic badass Abba Kovner path. Like that's what they're shooting for, right?

Sounds good. TWR's Warlord Russia seemed quite similar to TNO's premise, which worked against TWR having its own identity. TWR differentiating itself should be good.
 

apologies if people deem it not relevant, but Mr General made a statement.
its in a spoiler so people dont have to read it if they dont want to.
 
Hey, guys!

Did you know that Sergey Taboritsky offers universal healthcare to the benighted peasants of West Russia? It's true!





Praise God, the Tsar, and wHoLesoMe bLEssEd RegeNT TaBoRITskY. :V


Sure, your arm will almost certainly be torn off in a Thresher, but the blessed Priest-factory-supervisors will call on the medics to patch you up and get you right back into your unending holy labour. :V

Speaking of which, Tabby's West Russian Regency has the "Limited Safety Regulations" social law, when the events strongly suggest it shouldn't have any safety regulations at all. Admittedly I haven't finished Tabby's path, so maybe this all gets fixed later down the line.

I also like that it still is broadly recognisable as the same setup as before - rump USSR under Beria in the west of non-German-occupied Russia, American-backed Russian Republic in the east, splinter states in-between keeping them from sharing a direct border - yet sufficiently changed to move towards the goal you state.

Taboritsky - Bernie Sanders Alliance When? :rofl:
 
Well, I completed Tabby's Wild Ride!



For extra cursed points, the Burgundian System purple continued to tick upwards and fill the circle even after the clock struck midnight. If you take that as indicative of what's happening in-universe rather than weird game mechanics stuff, it suggests that Taboritsky's mad ideals continued to propagate and even strengthen after his Holy Russian Empire imploded.


Turns out the "Funny Clock Man" is not all that funny. :V


...to be perfectly honest, it wasn't as effective a horror story as I was hoping, because it had already been memed into near-oblivion by the community. It wasn't able to surprise me like my run as Iberia.
 
Party Ideology: Burgundian System.
Party Leader: Radio Silence.

Well, he has my re-election vote!

If any aliens are listening in on the radio in the TNO-verse, they're definitely staying the fuck away from earth nuclear war or not. Maybe that's the answer, maybe aliens just totally avoid any radio contact because they're tired of civilizations going completely apeshit in their ears.

Yeah I basically loathe most Tabby memes at the point because they rather miss the point of him and are largely made by people who haven't played the HRE yet.
 
so I tried doing democratic Iberia....it was disappointing, since I got the condems
yknow, the folks with such wonderful focuses like "franco was franco"
I'm wondering how I can even get the libdem reformists (not carnation, no)
Either that or I just code a bit more and join the team out of boredom to see what's going on lol
