I agree. It just seemed like a practical matter to me for players who wanted to skip to the second decade rather than sit through the first again. I’m not so OCD that the niggling thought that there’s a ‘canon’ invalidates my current playing experience.

What would this mean to ‘Chinese popular masses’? I ask because it’s a criticism I also have, but I imagine my meaning would be quite different. I don’t really find the international political economy depicted in-game to be very believable or fleshed out. Bennet’s plan in particular is kind of...

I think for me it's that ultranationalism is so vague, though I understand that's intentional as a sort of catch-all to avoid overcomplication. Still, an ideology that encompasses Qutbism, Lehi's totalitarian syncretism, Omsk's 1984-ness and Kishi's reform bureaucrats is a bit difficult to...

How do you guys feel about the current TNO ideologies? Do you feel like they adequately represent the ideological nuances of the setting given the limitations of hoi4? What about sub-ideologies?

I think I know which video you're referring to: And I really didn't like it. I do agree with the reviewer that economically and technologically advanced major powers would very rarely if ever fall into protracted civil wars in the modern era, but that's about it. When I talk about TNO and...

And which TNO ideology would you have him fall under?

From the Discord. Due to recent drama, I guess he chose to remove himself as a lightning rod for personal innuendo disguised as criticism of the mod.

Another example is the Australian Labor Party’s Prices and Incomes Accord of the Hawke-Keating period. Still, when you see corporatism alongside palingenetic nationalism and strident anti-communism, it usually means one thing.

Ugh, discord drama spilling into YouTube drama. I need the next update just to wash the taste out of my mouth.

I assumed Turkes would be conducting a coup before too long. It’s not like Turkey had any shortage of them OTL. Indeed, I can see the leader of Turkey’s first coup, which was orchestrated by Turkes, is the security minister. It wouldn’t surprise me if Turkes has to outmanoeuvre an internal coup...

Anyone played the From Eurasia with Love update for Red Flood? I did a Spiritual Realm of America play through today. Gorgeous focus icons and neat flavour events as usual, but I found all but two of the American collapse factions to be pushovers and it gets quite sparse outside the Spiritualist...

It's interesting the amount of attention and choice Italy's got in this timeline. It seems rather optimistic at times, but it will make for a more interesting scenario than playing as Germany's incompetent bitch as its OTL performance is usually characterised as (and predicted to be in Axis...

He wrote He Died with a Felafel in His Hand, which was adapted into a movie I liked when I saw it as a teen. And in fact, he was a member of this site. Not sure if he still is.

Observing is probably the least interesting way to play a demo with practically all the focus trees removed, but Durnil's gonna Durnil.

There was a Beja Congress OTL.

I'm pretty interested in Africa and Asia in this mod, so I voted option 2.

Andreas Baader is in the helmet. I see Jan-Carl Raspe with the gross moe and the Charles Manson stare. The 'goth chick' is Gudrun Elssin. Obviously there's Meinhof. Astrid Proll is the brunette with the bangs. All in the RAF OTL, so presumably DSR.

So we have Aldo Moro, who was a Christian Democrat PM kidnapped and killed by the Brigate Rosse iotl; Pietro Nenni, a socialist who was originally close to Mussolini (ironically Nenni was then a republican and Mussolini a socialist) before becoming an anti-fascist iotl; and Giorgio Almirante...

There's a lot of potential in South America which I'm guessing won't make it to the initial release. Last I checked, South America lacked developers.

This is also true the other way around IMO.
