HEARTS OF IRON 4 STEAM DISCUSSION MOD

Alternate routes exist in the NF trees of other countries, for example Russia can go neutral and even flip over to the central powers, Italy can go pro-German and remain in the central powers for the duration of the war etc.

Hence what I said, the mod is completely railroaded to make everyone except Austria go as anti-German as possible. Historically the Americans were reluctant to get involved, just like the Brits.Ībout your last point: I *always* had historical focuses turned off. The US always picks the most anti-German route it can get. It is just always assumed by the mod that sub warfare happens. You get zero choice in the unrestricted submarine warfare, which historically pissed off the US (along with the Zimmerman telegram, which is like I said the *only* choice you have in the mod). Britain is always a member of the entente proper, from the beginning, instead of just guaranteeing Belgium and being *on the fence* about joining the war, as it was the case historically Italy always sides with the entente from the beginning, which didn't happen historically That being said, the mod doesn't even do it historically: If I wanted to recapture what actually happened, I'd watch a documentary. The point of playing HOI4 is to explore *alternate* histories. That said I think you can turn historical focuses off. I love Germany but having it dogpiled by the Entente is pretty much the point. Originally posted by Count Dunkula:I mean, it's supposed to be a historically-focused mod AFAIK. And the fact that these guys actually make their own game too makes me shudder. It's the most sorry excuse for balancing I have ever seen. Otherwise, take it back to the drawing board immediately.Īnyone who reads this, DO NOT waste your time with this mod in its current state. If the intention here was to ♥♥♥♥ all over Germany and have a good laugh at the expense of everyone who dares pick that nation, you succeeded. And last time I tried this it was on the LOWEST DIFFICULTY SETTING, for God's sake, it's still not possible. Aside from that, the mod is completely railroaded to put you into this kind of position every single time. Literally the only thing you have under control is whether or not to send the Zimmerman telegram, if you don't, the US won't join in on the fun, but that's it. Meanwhile of course the ottomans get completely stomped. Not that that helps though because being pummeled from all sides wrecks your industry, you can't keep up with production and attrition does you in. Then you'll have to contend with constant naval invasions in the balkans, italy stabbing your back of course (always) and trying to at least sort out russia, which is the only place where you can at least advance somewhat albeit slowly. Never in a strategy game have I ever seen something this ridiculous.

Trying to do the Schlieffen plan is laughable, even with 2x24 armies of 40 width infantry divisions with heavy artillery, soft attack of around 180, Germany cannot beat ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BELGIUM to get to france. You'll always have to fight at least four major powers (france, russia, britain, italy) and several minor ones as well cause they're railroaded to be anti-German literally every single game and there's nothing you can do about it.
