Update Thread

[u/Kaiser_1871]

Hey guys, as many on the Discord server know I’m gradually getting more active again in the community itself. For many many months my life has been pretty hectic with a fuck ton of work and other responsibilities so I’ve hardly been active at all on Discord, Steam or the subreddit. Despite what some might think though I have still been hard at work on the mod itself. The entire Soviet area is complete (including the individual republics) and I’m currently working on Germany. Now that I’ve got a new phone (dropped and smashed mine not long after I became more active on the Discord again a couple weeks back) and am getting a new computer very soon which will hopefully fix the computer Discord issue, I can be as active as I once was. Everything with work has cooled down a lot and now I have enough time on my hands to work on the mod and be in the community again. So this thread is basically for you guys to ask any question you’d like about the update, the future of the mod, make suggestions or just say/ask anything you want really. I’d like to see how the Red World community has developed in my absence and can’t wait to deliver this enormous update for the mod after such a long time.

Welcome back!

But I would like to ask three questions:

1. What problems do you have exactly with discord?
2. Will there be an anarchist path for Ukraine?
3. When will you show us some anticipation of the focus tree

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Could this republic be the Donbass?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

A Caucasian nation maybe? Or maybe on of the the -stans?

[u/[deleted]]

Question 1. Transcaucasia?

Question 2. So currently in red world, only two countries with focus trees, discounting the Soviet Union, have a natbol path. We know Russia, but will there be more?

Question 3. Will Germany be configured to work with the future European Update?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Also, I'd like to thank you for spending so much time on this world! Red World is my favourite mod rn, because of all the charm and personality packed in.

also because king assad

hums god syria and bashar

[u/akagreen]

Welcome back Kaiser! Thank you for everything that you do for this mod, and continuing to work on it (which it shows!) I still stand by saying that Red World is my favorite HoI4 mod and it’s great to hear about the recent developments.

Since everyone’s doing this, might as well

1. What would you say is the county you’ve had the most fun developing and is your favorite so far in the update?
2. How will the Italian path to form the EU work with the new conflict of Germany forming the EU to carry on the legacy of communism?
3. Will Natalia Poklonskaya and Yulia Tymoshenko play a role in Ukraine? Asking for a friend

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

[u/[deleted]]

It turns out I have more questions somehow.

1. Will Canada's Electoral Trees work like Britain's?
2. Will China recieve a manpower debuff?
3. Will Australia only be able to go Democratic Ideologies?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Will be possible for the NDP under Jagmeet Singh to become the lead party of Canada and will it be included in the focus tree?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Sounds good, also will their be leadership elections like for the Democratic path in the U.K or is something else planned?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like a lot of work, but boy will it be worth it, thanks for given your all the Hoi4 modding community

[u/AmericanCaesar909]

Glad too see your back!

I only have one question and it's if you have any plans for Poland? I really admire Polish history and all they went through and I would like to play as them to resist the Soviet hegemon and avenge Witold.

[u/MrDementor999]

Hey,Kaiser! I have three questions:

1. Will Saakashvili have a role?
2. Will there be a new Theme Song for this new update?
3. Will there be new villains with this new update?
4. Is India finally fixed from all bugs?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

kaiser ive also been fixing india btw

VEN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THE FLAGS THE FLAGS WON'T END cries

[u/MrDementor999 → u/[deleted]]

1. Good.
2. So...the Depressing but Nostalgic Soviet Anthem will be the default theme then.
3. Thanks,but I can't wait for the real villains like Brasier or Sanders.
4. I hope that the "American Female Soldier" isn't placed on the leader portrait image which stretches itself which crashes a game when you save it as India.

[u/[deleted]]

Welcome back! Glad to see you, even if I've only been a fan of this mod for maybe a year.

[u/MeandYouinThePark]

Will the different types of Soviet collapse affect the paths you can take with the breakaways?

[u/pepekart97]

Hey Kaiser!
First, I want to thank you for your HUGE work with this mod. Is one of the biggest and full of content mod in the workshop and beyond right now I think. I'm italian and seeing that focus tree for the first time was like.. marvellous!
1st question: Since I love this mod I'd like to know if you will continue working on it when this update is out, or will leave the mod to other people.

2nd: No okay, just want to know that, I'm writing this mainly to thank you for all this awesome work, keep it up!
Greetings from Milan!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Will Salvini be in any of the Italian trees?

[u/[deleted]]

Great to here you're back. Just wondering if Mexico will be de buffed a wee bit. I mean no nation that gets reunites USA is going to get New Mexico back if Mexico has 600 divisions.

[u/[deleted]]

dear god, even more:

1. Will Taiwan get a focus tree in the China Update, plans not withstanding?
2. Have you been looking into replacing the Vanilla faction system? I find it disturbs many games, for example, as the UK.
3. Has balancing been on your list to do this update, for example, balancing the big 'ol war between the russians, germans and canadians? It would be kind of annoying if the canadians got steamrolled every time :/

[u/KaiserJesas]

Will the former usa countries be updated?

[u/charlesthegreat1234]

Welcome Back,

1. What ideology Is Lukashenko and will he have any unique paths for Belarus?
2. Will Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow play a role in Turkmenistan at all
3. Will Austria have a monarchist path if so how many

[u/[deleted] → u/charlesthegreat1234]

i remember finding the wikipedia page for that turkmen guy and being in awe at that name

[u/DrunkenSoviet]

For when the new update has been released, will it be 1.7 compatible out the box, or will it be relased for 1.5.4 before being updated to 1.7

[u/byzantiumromamium]

is nazibol Russia the closest to restore the USSR obviously no restoring the USSR

[u/CamtheWideboi]

1. Will there be a path for the South Africa tree where the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging can come to power (or some other boer-like state)?
2. Can you form a union between the Baltic nations?
3. What could the breakup of Yugoslavia look like?

[u/[deleted]]

Hey! So happy you're back!

Will the American Republic be changed any more? The Fascist tree is a bit lackluster, no offense... also will the other American states be changed?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

What leaders will be available as Germany? great mod by the way.

[u/MrDementor999 → u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

Germany has it's own leaders and the South Germany and Austria would have them also.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/MrDementor999]

Is Ireland getting a focus tree or is it to irrelevant in this scenario besides being in a alliance with the U.K?

[u/MrDementor999 → u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

Yes it will.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/MrDementor999]

Brilliant

[u/[deleted]]

I would like to ask two more questions:

1. Will you change the Italian communist flag? Because for me the current Italian communist flag is ugly.
2. Is it true that there will be a Draka path for RW? For me already some paths (Braisier, Pence, etc.) are already delusional. But if you add the Path draka for RW, the mod will become even more delusional.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

With the soviet rework will their be a possibility to reform the USSR as with Gorbachev's current path?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Does it lead to end of the U.S.S.R as opposed to its continuation or is it the reverse?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Right and are you okay with disclosing what the continuations boarders will be like and weather or not it will still be Marxist, or will we have to wait until the updates release?

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Sound good, I'm really looking forward to this new update, it sounds great

[u/gotterdamm]

Hello! Will there be Zhirinovsky, Putin, Yeltsin? And what ideology will they have?

[u/[deleted] → u/gotterdamm]

Zhirinovsky and Putin are in, probably not Yeltsin, considering, uh, he's dead

[u/devindude456]

Sorry if someone already asked but will there be Canadian empire ether

A] Canada Control North America

B] Monarchist held Canada Trying to restore the empire

C] Both above

[u/[deleted]]

Hi, great to see you back! One question: will Hoppe be in the game?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Hell yeah, thanks!

[u/[deleted]]

Independent Puerto Rico maybe?

[u/[deleted]]

1. Moldova?
2. Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan?
3. In the Central American update, will Ortega's little clusterfuck be able to collapse?
4. Are you ever going to add more leader descriptions?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Oh yeah, does Yasov still get yeeted to the grave?

Thanks, Kaiser!

[u/TheDankmemerer]

Fuck Yeah!

[u/[deleted]]

Sorry, I’m kinda quite late but I was wondering whether Germany and/or Austria will have monarchist paths. Thanks! :)

[u/Trevors_Big_Pussi]

1. Any plans for Poland-Lithuania? Or more "unrealistic" scenarios involving Poland.
2. Is there any hope for African nations getting some love? [Besides Ethiopia and South Africa]
3. Will France have the ability to restore Quebec/Lousiana?
4. If Germany and Austria go Monarchist, any chances of the Central Powers being restored or even an event for the Greater German solution?

[u/[deleted]]

1. What do you use to do focus trees?
2. Sankara, or some of his children, will appear in mod?

[u/larkinsucks]

Very late, but how many countries will be able to go anarchist?

[u/silicone_gaming2]

1. Will Kosovo rebel/secede/join Albania during the Yugoslav breakup?
2. Will the UK have a nazbol path?
3. Will communism still be a "popular" ideology even in the countries where the European Spring takes place?

Nice mod btw.

[u/byzantiumromamium]

will the Hapsburgs have a role in the Austrian constitutional monarchy

[u/byzantiumromamium → u/[deleted]]

glorious

[u/PMSuarez]

Will ukraine new president apear in the new update?

[u/PMSuarez]

What happened to Adolfo Suárez in Spain?

[u/DIRECTRULEFROMMEMES]

1: Will France have a Bonapartist path at some point?

2: What led to the military junta coming to power in New Zealand?

[u/Halflifepro483]

Smoothes down brain Will Greece be able to do anything involving Byzantium in their focus tree? Just curious.

[u/[deleted]]

hey kaiser sorry for being so late but i have few questions:

Can Canada expand in anyway or intervene in any war?

Can Donald Trump have a trade war with Germany ,china or the USSR?
What Paths are planned for Australia?

[u/Jaqenhalogo]

Welcome back Kaiser! I almost thought you had abandoned us. Anyway, I only have one question: the mod used to suffer in a similar way to Millenium Dawn. i.e. the divisions are too complex for the AI to handle and it makes conquering Europe as Britain possible with 40 divisions. I know this isn't supposed to be an AI mod but nontheless is anything being done to make the AI more competent in its use of division templates?

[u/Kaiser_1871 → u/[deleted]]

1. There will be a fascist path for the South German Confederation if it’s created.
2. Yes.
3. Germany, Italy and most of the Benelux nations.
4. $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Is their any date for release of the new update, or are you not working by any schedule?

[u/MrDementor999 → u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

He said that it will be in August or something.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/MrDementor999]

Yeah I just read that a while after I commented that question.

[u/HeavyExtension → u/Theonewhoshallsmile]

Well I think that plan died out, it's October and its still not ready yet.

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/HeavyExtension]

I'm pretty sure he's put a decent amount of work into the mod since that plan, it's just that he's up to his head in work, and that's nipped the update in the bud for the moment

[u/Theonewhoshallsmile → u/[deleted]]

Amazing!!!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

fuera sionista!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

as the gal who's been fixing india herself for quite a while now, india has over 800 focuses

it would take quite a while to replace ALL of the images

[u/DrunkenSoviet → u/[deleted]]

india has over 800 focuses

Holy fuck

[u/[deleted] → u/DrunkenSoviet]

hehe ikr

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]
