Darkest Hour will forever be better than HOI4The fact that Darkest Hour's map is more historically accurate than HoI4's map at launch
That's hoiIII.The fact that Darkest Hour's map is more historically accurate than HoI4's map at launch
I've not actually played any HoI games except for IV, so forgive me if my knowledge of their names is sketchy. I find it slightly outrageous that the map shown has a more accurate (read: less trash) portrayal of China.
Remember when the promised a more realistic china for Waking the Tiger?
I actually quite like the Power Struggle mechanic. That's also the only thing I like about it.
> Congratulations, you have successfully realised that Xi'an was not under Communist control in Jan 1936.
> You're now one step closer to realising that Yan'an was also not under Communist control between Nov 1935 and Dec 1936.
> Dude, if CHI_OOB.txt literally says that this part of the Chinese army is commanded by a general who is also the leader of a warlord nation, you have no excuse to not adjust borders accordingly.
its HOI4 you literally have ALF LANDON CONFEDERACY and MACKENSEN ANTI-NAZI COUP

On a side note, it seems that JJ McCullough has purged his website of all his Filibuster Cartoons. Such a shame. Anyone know if their is an archive somewhere?

The Armenian-Pontic War of 2009 was an armed conflict that occured in the Anatolian-Caucasian region over border disputes between the Kingdom of Armenia and the Greek Republic of Pontus, allied with NATO. Military forces engaged in late March. Armenia was defeated in November, and the government was forced to provide reparations for destroyed infrastructure and displaced families, and cede their nuclear arsenal to Germany. The conflict almost escalated to nuclear war in September, but covert operations prevented Armenia from using their missiles, which may have been targeted at major NATO cities such as Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Tsaritsyn, and Krakow. There is no knowledge if the Communal Strategic Alliance Treaty had some involvement in the conflict, but the CIA confirmed that CSAT remained neutral in the conflict.

As always, incredible detail, but I'm not too crazy about the auburn sea colour
Yeah, just seemed to make the rest stand out.
Nope, it was aimed st you. Both the semi playful 'get out', though more how even in this world that has so much of the Artict sheeted away there is no real Northwest Passage.Well, at least not by way of the Hudson Bay.
I made this more as a test of my new map style than anything else, so there wasn't exactly a writeup, more just a bunch of ideas, and the majority of those were put on the map as footnotes. If you have any questions about things that aren't explained in the footnotes, just ask.
I assume that Armenia was the aggressor in this scenario? What exactly was their ultimate goal? Complete annexation of the Pontic Greek state?
Diplomatic relations have been sour between the two nations since their founding after the First World War in my TL, mainly dealing with ethnic nationals that Armenia claims inhabits the eastern shores of Pontus, centered around the village of Ardeşen. Journalists and historians claim that the Armenian government is masquerading the claims so a more broad coastline could be made for Armenia's trade interests. The World Association of Nations, then later the United Nations, did nothing to help the situation, favoring Pontus' claim. if the shores of the Rize province could be secured, Armenia would invest in it to make a more viable trade network instead of having their maritime trade funnel through third parties (Pontus, Don, Kuban, etc.). The Armenians never sought out to annex Pontus outright, because of the hostilities made between Armenians and Greeks throughout the 20th century because of the dispute.
FYI, Armenia's nuclear program leased out Indian (Hindustan) expertise, as part of their interest to push NATO away from supporting Pontus in the conflict after NATO allied with Pontus in 1978. Armenia's nuclear program was confirmed complete and an arsenal was operational in 1994, being labeled as a rogue nation due to slander by Armenian diplomats in the UN and towards NATO countries involving threats of provoking nuclear war.

Yep! Though the timelines "around" this one don't really tend to contact them much due to this world being much shittier than theirs, there are some refugees from the worse parts of those worlds that are desperate enough to try fleeing there, and as such it's received refugees from alternate Americas in three different timelines (all of which were previously in various states of civil war). Two of them were solely composed of humans and were culturally rather similar to the Americans of TTL, so they were integrated easily, but the one where the refugees were a species of humanoid lizards have proven a bit more difficult to integrate.
I could overlook superheroes, but a left-wing Queensland? Now I know that this is an unrealistic timeline./s
Automated defense systems in the Amazon? Ludicrous, who'd think up something like that, ungodly, really...
