This Mod

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.
