    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Very excited! Subideologies allow for an unprecedented degree of granularity in representing the diversity of political theory (and applications) that existed, or could have existed, within the confines of the overarching alternate history scenario presented. As a corollary, this facilitates...

    WIP Map Thread

    This is the reverse of a map I did a while back still in my test thread (which was the Hearts of Iron 4 Video Game Mod TNO's Russia semi-extrapolated onto the U.S. in the Kaiserreich fictional universe). This one instead approximates the situation of the U.S. in Kaiserreich to its counterpart in...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I think Vyatka's easier, but if you made West Alaska your screensaver you got do your first game there! You owe it to Snake, I mean Big Boss, I mean Werbell.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Hey, just thought I'd share since this is TNO-adjacent. I've been lightly practicing my AH map skills (spending way, WAY too much time) and for fun did a "What if you had TNO-Russia style stuff happen to the U.S. in the Kaisserreich fictional universe" (still WIP, but it's coming along well)...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Indeed. De-canonization can neatly do away with such paradoxes, perhaps matching responses to events like the 2WRW to the specific identities involved to some extent, or otherwise leave it to the (now freed) imaginations of the players. I've long thought TNO could employ Kaiserreich's model of...

    No real joke, just a reference to the specific sub-faction. Would you prefer "Revisionist Post-Fascist Russian Nationalism with Corporatist Characteristics and Baldness"?

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I have mixed feelings, but overall lean in favor of removing canon. The proposed TNO2/3 dev canon was certainly interesting and brought up some interesting questions about the ramifications of an (alternate) cold war and some metacommentary on the narratives that surround "winning" such a...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Thanks for posting! That Willy Brandt picture is pretty cool. Sort of reminds me of that Metal Gear Stalin parody thing from earlier in the mod XD. With them listing party ideologies as, for example, "socialism" and "communism", are they doing away with the AuthSoc/LibSoc ideology labels?

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I'm also still playing around with the super events as cinematic animations concept. Still haven't got around to finishing the Russia ones, but I was very impressed when the devs reworked the Iberian Wars super event. I'm still somewhat confused that none of the audio lines within seem geared...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I think the question of Shafarevich's political taxonomy can perhaps be argued more easily in favor of @Gukpard 's stance. However, very much depending on TNO2, one could potentially make a "proto-fascist" reading of Shafarevich, interpreting his actions as setting up a more overtly fascist...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I think the devs said they're keeping him as a general for France, just not as a political leader.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Oh yeah, I was going to put that one before Red Baikal, actually. But instead I wanted to give it more work once I get the reunification cinematics out of the way. I really wanted to focus on Karbyshev and Rokossovsky's parts in the event, especially since their in the playable game for such a...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I absolutely will add the new unifiers. I'm just working out a few aspects of their concepts I'm still debating, but should have them up in a day or two. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get the explanation for the last two up first (Heirs of Harbin is updated and Red Baikal is about to be). Anyone in...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Aaaaaand here's the other scene idea I promised for today. The explanation for this and the previous one will have to wait until tomorrow. I recognize the potential similarity to a recent IRL event and just want to note that I put this scene together way, way before it happened and that the...

    Hey, thanks! Out of curiosity, what did you like? I'm interested to know what worked about this concept.
