I don't know about the commie stuff but I've played it and the writing in the events and decisions is kinda ass, and some of it hard to take seriously. There's one path in the Belgian Confederacy with event choices that are just like "PILLAGE AND BURN HAHAHA" and most events for other countries are just Hoi4 mod TNO visual novel shit with purple prose.
And it is really railroaded, like half of your playtime will just be waiting for events to happen so you can actually do something and the paths are prone to bugging out if you decide to practice free will and start wars on your own. Also it's based on Pop Demand Mod instead of HPM which is pretty annoying if you're used to vanilla DoD or other HPM-based mods.

I really like how the setting is much more "historically plausible" than vanilla DoD but I can't recommend it for the aforementioned reasons.

It's called a Meme River. Normal rivers only give a 1 point crossing penalty so some mods add inland sea tiles that look like rivers so that you instead get a 2 point crossing penalty.

Someone should make a mod where you can see river crossings. EU4 has a mapmode built in where every province is colour-coded by terrain type and has thick blue borders for rivers. The province screen doesn't even describe rivers.

I'm working on a Total Conversion based on the CK2 Middle Mars mod. Almost playable I just need to re-do the States and then add some more decisions and events and testing.

Otherwise the LotR mod is cool but still being worked on.

Anonymous No.2136332 >>2136587 >>2136653
>>2135992
Is there any real difference to basing a mod on HFM over HPM? IIRC HFM is just HPM with a lot more flavor which means a lot more events and decisions that have to be removed/edited when making a total overhaul mod. Might as well just save the effort of changing all that and start with HPM instead.

Not the OP but is Vicky 2 worth picking up? My main PC shit the bed so I’m stuck with a pretty dated Lenovo Thinkpad that can only handle old titles (Vicky2, Eu3 maybe, OSRS, MTW2, etc)
Anonymous No.2139252 >>2139372

If you like other older Paradox titles then you'll probably like Vic2 but it is still quite different from them and vanilla Vic2 gets boring pretty quickly because of the lack of flavor and certain repetitive strategies that are used on most nations (shit like the meta army stack, conquer Johore for lots of cash, conquer parts of China for lots of manpower, etc.)

These all seem made-up with no connection to any existing regionalist/secessionist movement (probably because they are) but I guess they had to be made for balance reasons or whatever.
-Nevada outside of Las Vegas should be a part of Deseret. Most of Nevada was originally settled by Mormons and it was only during the construction of the Hoover Dam that Las Vegas became what it is today, outside of Las Vegas and the western parts that border California most of Nevada is still part of the Mormon corridor.
-Idaho could either be a part of Desert or Cascadia since part of the state is in the actual Cascadian geographic region while it also has a lot of Mormons living in it.
-Arkansas would definitely join any new Confederacy and aren't even part of the Great Plain geographically (they're in the Ozarks). Iowa and Missouri also aren't part of the Great Plains region, but rather the Ozarks/Midwest as well.
-I don't really see Florida being part of New Afrika, they have a much lower black population than the other states in it and I could also see Florida being it's own country if they don't join a new Confederacy.
-The Midwest, despite being it's own cultural region, is completely split of between these fake meme countries like the Great Lakes Republic, Great Plains, and whatever that light blue one is. All the Midwest should just be in it's own country called like "The Midwest Republic" or whatever.
-The "Free States of America" should be renamed to the "Great Plains" since that's where they actually are with them getting the remaining states from the original Great Plains country that wouldn't be in the Midwest/Confederacy.

It's like this Balkanized US scenario was made by some third worlder who knows very little about the US and just made up shit to fill in the states they don't know about for some US collapse wet dream.

a lot of nations are basically unplayable and for those that aren't you'll just be doing the same thing that you've probably done on a bunch of other nations.
compare that to EU4 for example where a majority of nations have their own individual playstyle
