If you have the right DLC, a serious amount of nations can change ideologies.

Also this.

What are some good ideas for alt-history divergences that take place in the 19th Century?

I was thinking something to do with Lincoln's assassination and the Great Railroad Strike

Just a random idea off the top of my head. Do something with Lincoln avoiding assassination, leading to a quicker integration of former slaves into society. Maybe increasing the workforce that eventually strikes during the 1877 railroad strikes.

God I wish Paradox would license out the Clausewitz engine ala Unreal or Unity.

I want to make EvW real.

WHAT IF THE CONFEDERACY WON WW1???

Didn't Lincoln have plans to send former slaves back to Africa?

What if… Abraham Lincoln was a black man?

What if John Brown successfully sparked a widespread slave revolt

Attached: serveimage.jpeg (850x400, 54.79K)

if i remember correctly put taxes and tarrifs at full and cut all spending on education, military, admin. then slowly started building up factories,

Red World is developed by a reactionary monarchist who inserted his ideology everywhere.

What if John Brown successfully sparked a widespread slave revolt, but he's a she and her name is Joan Brown.

I mean the CSA winning the Civil War is an obvious one. Also maybe the Paris Commune succeeding in establishing a lasting socialist state in France.

There is pretty neat mod for vic2 called Napoleons Legacy about what if napoleon won and the 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧anglo🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 got vanquised

Isn't there a mod for hoi4 with the same premise that's made by someone from here?

There's a mod where Napoleon won and the continental system stayed in Europe, it's called Apres Moi Le Deluge. There's one called Bax Brittanica where the USA lost the revolutionary war. There's also one called In the Name of the Tsar where Russia won WW1.

I'm just happy to see someone using the 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 meme correctly.

Are there any good mods or games that I could use to fill the gap between EU:Rome and EU3? I want to do a playthrough from EU:R to HOI3

That's a pretty tall order since EU:R doesn't even go into AD.
CK2 with Charlemagne starts as far back as 769. When The World Stopped Making Sense is a total overhaul that pushes the start date all the way back to 476, not sure how developed it is though since I've not spent much time with it.

I used to play the 399 AD mod back when I played EU3 and remember it being pretty good, don't ask me how far it goes though. (think it covers Europe to Asia but it's been years since I played it)

If EU4 is an option, there's the 12 Vultures mod that goes from 746 BC to 476 AD that's better than playing EU:R at all imo (it features from Europe to Asia excluding basically the Scandinavian peninsula, modern Russia, and Southeast Asia outside of the mainland), but it's kind of clunky and is for an old version of EU4 (part of why it's clunky).
And The Rome That Did Not Fall goes from 395 AD to 973 AD (only Europe/Middle East though).
Both made by the same guy that made the 399 AD mod for EU3.
You'd have to hell of modding experience to convert anything to any of those 3, though, with the way they're designed, but there shouldn't be anymore trouble converting from them than it would be otherwise, and they're the best options for the time period imo.
There's Imperium Universalis, too, though it's still pretty earlyish in development as far as having a proper full campaign through it goes, but it shows a lot of promise and has a high province count so you don't finish conquering Italy after you've got like 20 provinces.

Honestly the period just isn't covered that well in general by games of the genre, I wish it were cause it's the most interesting time period for a game of the sort to me. I remember there being a couple attempts at a Rome period mod for CK2, but I think they fizzled out at some point.

I suppose my autism will just have to go unfulfilled

Fuhrerreich > kaiserreich
Also flying saucers and the socialist future is based. Too bad it's not included in a world-changing mod like fuhrerreich.
I have a question though. Can we have an actual economic discussion regarding the trade system and the building system of hoi4? Is it socialist?
It's like cockshottian economics, here.

Why did this thread reach page 4?

China rework might motivate me to actually learn HOI4, I can't wait to play as Guerilla radical socialist KMT led by Madame Soong Ching Ling

China rework? China was given a focus tree in Waking the Tiger. While they've expressed interest in going back and reworking previous dlc focus trees somewhere along the lines, that would most likely be Together for Victory or Death or Dishonor, which had very underdeveloped focus trees compared to WtT, and the upcoming trees in Man the Guns.

The Communist China focus tree is pretty fun, haven't really played much with the China one though.

Honestly, the Paris Commune succeeding would be a pretty interesting alt-history mod. Could even have France end up fragmented with an uneasy peace, socialist revolution spread to some European countries, and have a lot of others go reactionary as fuck in response.

nani

Successful 1848 revolution.

user means the Kaiserreich China rework.

Ah, makes sense. Haven't really spent much time with mods. I'm only like 200 hours in so I'm still figuring out all the base mechanics and stuff.

lmao are you fucking retarded? HOI4 feels so unrewarding and is simplistic as fuck. Just click and drag a line over your enemy's capital. It's almost too easy, and definitely not fun. Also the DLCs are expensive if you're not pirating.
DH is the only good HOI game that isn't needlessly complicated like 3, or ugly like 1, or unpolished like 2, or made for retards like 4.

Compare a Soviet or China run in DH, then in HOI4. The differences in FUN are staggering. HOI4 is fucking boring and personally looks fucking ugly to me.

What nations should I start out with in DH? KR and any other decent mods included

It's been a while since I've played so I'd like and easy yet fun nation to play

Successful Taiping Rebellion

Hong Xiuquan was /ourguy/

How can I play the original CK and Vicky, as well as EU2 on a Windows 10 computer?

Hell should I even bother playing them? Are they any good?

No clue about the others but freegogpcgames.com has CK1.

I have them on Steam I just can't get them to play on my Windows 10 PC

vicky is great at least

Nazbol Bernie is definitely one of the most fun games of HOI4 I've played.

Has anyone played the new Fuherriech patch? It was a lot of fun playing as Trotsky, but the way it portrays socialist ideology is pretty weird, with what used to be referred to as "Vangaurdism" now being referred to as "national collectivism", whatever that's meant to mean.

Wait can you play as Posad in Fuhrerriech????
Also I'm mixed, I think with more time to develop Fuhrerriech could be better than Kaiserriech, but atm Kaiserriech is just made better.
still better than modern day mod though

You can't play Posadas in Fuhrerreich, but i wish it was possible.

Wut

Ugh.

Does anyone still play the older Paradox titles like EU3, EU:Rome, and HOI3?

I wanted to do a mega campaign but if no one plays these games anymore I might just upgrade to the newer games.

This is from the Red World Mod. Assad leaves the Ba'ath Party and joins the Arab Socialist Union to participate in the presidential elections.
Through this path, you can take the focus to conquer the entire Arab world.

So are there any strategy games that are actually good (note: this excludes every paradox game except CK2 and all Civ games)?

Any /stellaris/ gamers on here? Shared Burdens is an op civic

Neat

So Bashar is a Nasserite instead of a Ba'athist? Neat

he is a baathist
he even starts a baath uprising in syria causing a civil war within the united arab republic(that never collapsed)
if the UAR wins there is a chance of reconciliation and assad becoming a moderate socialist democratically elected president
where as if the baath uprising succeeds assad is a batthist nazbol leader in syria

Either the Paris Commune or the 1848 revolutions succeeding would be interesting ideas, but what would the world look like?

Alpha Centauri

The modern day mod stopes being fun after 2003 in my experience.

Do you think the merger between the 2 Modern Day mods is gonna be better?

It’ll probably make thinks shitter by making it harder to just fuck around and do whatever. One mod if for people who wanna use it as a tool to just fuck around and shitpost. The other is suppose to be a “serious” geopolitical simulator. Anyone who thanks that hoi4 is suppose to be realistic is just missing the point. That’s what Darkest Hour is for. The best way to improve the modern day mod is by adding more events.

It's true, honestly it's pretty depressing

Maybe Frederick William taking the gutter crown could be a point of divergence

By the way, any graphic designers here who can make flags and assets and shit?

I recently noticed two black males and one black female who were discussing the secret black ancestry of Abraham Lincoln and the Moors while smoking cannabis and trespassing on private property. I thought "Abraham Lincoln wuz black" was just a meme to make fun of the absurdity of these black cryptohistory weirdos on the internet, but apparently it has filtered into the IRL black consciousness.

Sounds like it was just weed induced ravings man

Unironically going to make a mod about this

Attached: 20190223_125932.jpg (472x472, 325.02K)

Shit I got quads I guess I have to now

Okay the way I see it it goes something like this:

Bruv this is just literally the fucking Southern Victory series you realise this?

I did not as I have never read those books

I got Darkest Hour from the Humble Bundle and installed Kaiserreich. What country should I start as to learn the game easier?

make the union communist and a comentern member. Also have Smedley Butler as their leader.

I was leaning that way, even making it the leader of the International, but I feel like that would take away from the point of the mod that "the CSA was bad"

Plus then that would just be more assets I would need to make, which I can't

What I'm saying is I would need an user good at graphic design to help me

I'm interested in the latest HOI4 expansion which reworks the U.K. focus tree, you can go gommie by decolonising and acquiescing to the TUC.

Just one more day…

France.
Check who you're putting in charge of what on the focus tree first. It will block off certain parts of it.

the user has kaiserreich for darkest hour not hoi4 fam

Russia and going fascist, since it gives you a lot of time and you can choose who to go to war with when and nobody (apart from the Mongols if you leave it too late) will attack you.

America is cool
France is great you're the leader of the syndie world
Russia is interestibg with a lot of paths
Mongolia is glorious and memes everywhere
I adored leading the Chinese overthrowing of the German occupation and dethroning the qing trash

I wonder if anyone has thought of making a Zig Forums themed mod?

Because I imagine it would be quite fun to play

Would that just make a Zig Forums country where the keader is Alunya?

How would you go about that though? A single Leftypol nation with multiple leftypol themed political focus tree paths? Or like multiple nations of different leftypol ideologies that fight each other?
It could be fun from what I imagine
