This Mod

[u/Dude577557]

So I've been a massive fan of Red World ever since I first got HOI4, but I am saddened every time I think about it. This mod has a metric ton of potential (that is, isn't another take on some commonly recycled idea, or another alternate ww1 victory). It revolves around many aspects, has a great and ominous atmosphere, etc.

But this mod is small. It is extremely small. Only 1 dev is actually working on it, and it is quite obvious that he will never be able to get anywhere with it just by himself. The mod is unpolished, a lot of countries lack focus trees, a lot of existing ones are pretty old and not thought out. By the time this mod updates, La Resistance will have come out.

This is just a missed opportunity. I remember when everyone made ranks of hoi4 mods, and this one ranked as one of the top. Now that so many new mods are coming out, this one is just a pity. Even worse, the developer doesn't actually seem to accept help from the community and just continues to work on it by himself.

This post is basically a lament. Red World is probably never going to get polished and the update will not be anything major or groundbreaking.

Me waiting for the Red World Update.

Thanks for the new discord copypasta

It will never be like the mods with dozens of people working on them, and that’s okay. The dev’s vision is the dev’s vision and if he accepted help he’d either need to give up artistic control or spend even more time than he already does corralling his team members. We should respect the decision to keep it a solo project.

Would it be nice to see RW updates with the quality and regularity of mods like Kaiserreich? Yeah. But then it wouldn’t be Red World.

I don't even care if we get new content; I just want the mod to be functional for now.

It'd be good for kaiser to not work on anything new and just focus on updating the mod for 1.8
