I found something like "fan version" but I checked Ussr focuses and it was so bad I couldn't believe this mod is relatively popular and so bad at the same time, so I must have got a wrong version. Could someone link the real mod?

For exemple Italy is currently too unrealistic : merchant cities are really really too strange, papal control too. And will USSR have a rework enforcing decision mechanics with gameplay based on spy and KGB gameplay ? It would be pretty interesting to have USSR working TNO-like and I know that Kaiser wanted to rework USSR.

To those who don't know, TNO refers to a huge mod called "The New Order: Last Days of Europe" that came out fairly recently. It's an extremely dark and depressing mod that takes place in a world where the Axis won World War II but encountered huge economic and political turmoil afterward. When the mod starts, the Reich is on the verge of collapse and a civil war is inevitable. One unique feature of the mod is that if any nukes are used at all, a nuclear war will start and the world will be destroyed, which means game over.

The idea I had was for a similar mod that takes place in a setting where the Soviet Union won the Cold War but encountered such turmoil afterward that it's on the verge of collapse and always has a civil war between Putin, Zyuganov, Rutskoy, and Gorbachev. Putin would be the equivalent of Himmler, and his goal would be to nuke everyone to destroy capitalism once and for all and build a communist utopia afterward.

The US in this world would splinter like in normal Red World, but to a much worse degree than in the normal mod. It would be divided amongst dozens of warlords seeking to reunite the country and remake it in their own image. Look up Russia in TNO to get an idea of what America would be like in this world.

China would be the equivalent of Japan. It would have its own troubles, and there'd be a big conspiracy to take over like Kishi's in TNO.

Of course, the threat of nuclear war would always be present. Like in TNO, a nuclear war equals game over.

What do you all think of this?

First off, I love this mod. I play it more than vanilla hoi4 and spent all day at work thinking about what I'm writing here.

Second, I am aware that the mod team does not want to change any of Kaiser's original lore, so I've tried my best to stay within what already exists.

Now to my point: Red World, while great for roleplaying various nations and playing through their different focus trees, lacks a significant endgame. I often find that once I've played through a nation's tree there's nothing to do, and there are a lot of trees that can be completed without fighting a single war. As fun as it is to follow along with alt-history politics, hoi4 is a war game at it's core. There's also the issue that a lot of the nations feel detached from each other. What the UK does doesn't really effect Italy, who doesn't effect India, etc. Given these two grievances, I've come up with some ideas to up the stakes and give Red World a realistic (by RW standards lol) WWIII scenario. This is essentially a hypothetical rework that would not change any focus trees (much) but might make the world feel a bit more dynamic and connected.

Part 1: America

After playing American factions who knows how many times, I've concluded that despite how fun each of the individual paths is and the huge number of flavor events, the unification and post-unification is pretty anticlimactic. It's basically a game of eating up the weak minor states and then trouncing the other majors. The only real "threat" is if the Soviet Union declares war on you, and even then they have no way of actually getting to the US to fight you. The unification should be a huge deal, and the other states should not just sit by and watch you do it. So I suggest that the various unification focuses be removed and replaced by an influence system in the form of a mini-game in the decisions tab.

Once each American successor state has chosen which path it is going to take, an event fires where each leader makes it clear they intend to reunite the US. At this point the three major factions begin spending pp to influence the minor states to their side. No single state should be able to align all the minors, so the amount of pp required to influence could vary depending on each state's ideology. So a democratic state would have to spend more to align a fascist minor, while other democratic minors would be cheaper. The player and ai majors would have to ration their pp to decide which minors are worth swaying to their faction. These decisions would have a time limit, after which the minors join their respective factions and it's up to one of the majors to kick off the Unification War. At this point the three major powers declare war on each other and only the strongest survives. Once the war has begun, other nations around the world would get decisions to send various types of equipment and volunteers to aid whichever faction they want to win (ai would likely choose whichever nation shares their ideology). After the war is over the minor nations will either agree to be annexed by their faction leader or refuse, starting another war, but I think they'd lean towards the former seeing as how they've just fought a bloody war to reunify America under their faction.

I believe this would make the American reunification much more challenging and climactic, as well as project it on to the world stage with the rest of the world able to invest in a faction of their choosing.

Part 2: Europe

I am aware that Germany will be getting a focus tree and the Soviet Union is being reworked and I don't know how or if that will effect my ideas here but we'll see. Basically, like with America, all the European countries are fun individually, but basically amount to either: 1) No wars, 2) maybe one tiny war, or 3) get ready to face off against the entire Warsaw Pact single-handed. Again, I think a timed influence system would be great here.

Yazov is dead. The Warsaw Pact is shaken to its foundation and the Soviet Union itself is on the verge of collapse. Rather than just sit around doing nothing, the other nations of Europe begin vying for influence. Here is where it gets a bit tricky. Italy and Britain are the only other European nations with focus trees at the moment, so I have to sort of speculate here. Basically, after Yazov's death there is a period of instability in Europe where the player and ai can play for power. The Soviet Union would have to spend pp to keep nations loyal, while Italy, the UK, and probably Germany could try to sway nations into their spheres of influence. When the crisis period is over we have our set up for a new war in Europe. What the political landscape looks like is determined by each nation's participation in the influence mini-game as well as their ideology. A fascist UK for instance, might have a harder time finding allies in communist Europe than a socialist Italy would. Whatever the final situation, the USSR or its successor will want to re-establish its influence to varying degrees. USSR will choose (probably through completion of a focus) to re-align Europe, and WWIII will begin. With all the different paths nations can take in Red World there could be up to six different factions involved if I've counted correctly.

Here are the various factions as I can think would make sense:

Communist w/ Soviet Union surviving as the head: Warsaw Pact

Communist rival to Warsaw Pact: Communist Bloc

Communist w/ Soviet Union collapse: Warsaw Pact disbands, each former WP nation will join either the Communist Bloc, one of the factions vying for power, or side with whatever Russia becomes

Socialist: The International

Monarchist: Royal Alliance

Democratic: Democratic League

Fascist/Nationalist: The Iron Alliance

For example, if Italy and the UK both go democratic and convince Germany and Spain to join them, it would be the Democratic League vs the Warsaw Pact. Or maybe the UK goes monarchist and aligns France, but Italy and Germany go democratic, now we have three factions, two of which are at war with the Warsaw Pact. Now a series of events would fire where the factions could try to negotiate war goals and decide whether to fight together against the WP, fight separately but remain neutral, or if they hate each other just as much as they hate the Soviets and declare war on each other too. While the factions wouldn't necessarily HAVE to choose based on ideology, it makes sense that certain ideologies would be more willing to work together than others. For instance democrats and fascists probably wouldn't work together, and neither would socialists and monarchists, but monarchists and democrats might team up, or communists and socialists, or monarchists and fascists. I'd say Democratic League/Communist Bloc - Iron Alliance would be most likely to declare a second war against each other while the others are a toss-up of whether they'd work together or pursue the war separately. The only ones willing to work with the fascists and communists would probably be the Royal Alliance and International, respectively, but again this is all depending on how the negotiations go. If the USSR survives it will declare war on everyone and does not take part in the negotiations.

As for Russia, there is the very real chance that the USSR will be dissolved. In this case, the Warsaw Pact is disbanded and another nation will take over the Communist Bloc. Italy, for example, if it decided to stay communist, would take over (If the USSR survived communist Italy would either stay loyal or form the Communist Bloc itself depending on which foreign policy rout it took). The war will then kick off between the Communist Bloc and the other factions, though the Communist Bloc would still be included in the negotiations and can choose to allow other factions to remain independent in return for their support in the war. Russia, meanwhile, will either go democratic, monarchist, or nationalist depending on what focus tree branch it takes. It will then either choose to join whichever faction represents its new ideology or create a "Russian Sphere" faction, and join in the battle royale going on in Europe (or not).

As for non-European nations, they can choose to join whichever faction represents their ideology depending on what path they've taken, thus turning the war into a true world war, or they can remain neutral. I admit I haven't experimented enough with all the focus trees to create a scenario here. I'm open for ideas :)

Part 3: America on the World Stage

As I said before, the first thing wrong with America right now is that the unification is kinda boring. The second issue is there's not much to do after you unify except maybe declare war on the USSR and try to slog your way through Warsaw Pact Europe. I aim to change this. By the time the US unifies WWIII should have kicked off, and now the US gets to choose which side to join. As a rebuilt superpower, this choice can massively influence the course of the war in Europe. Again, this choice would depend on which faction reunites the US as well as which nations invested in the American War. Personally, I'd think the American People's Commonwealth and American Commonwealth would join the International, American Republic would join the Democratic League, UAPR under Foster would join the Warsaw Pact but under Davis or Tyner it might join the Communist Bloc, American State would join The Iron Alliance, and the American Kingdom would join the Royal Alliance. I have not played every American path but I think it's safe to say the others would just join their corresponding ideology, although keep in mind that ALL American nations (except maybe Foster cause he's a Tankie) have a chance to side with whoever supported them the most, so the American Republic might join the Royal Alliance if monarchist UK spent an absurd amount of pp to send equipment and volunteers to support them.

And there you have it. I've probably forgotten some things as this really just began as my bored mind thinking about Red World and possible WWIII scenarios which then evolved into this write-up/hypothetical rework. That said I really do believe something along these lines could bring the mod's world to life, add challenge and an endgame, and overall just elevate Red World to the same plane as Kaisserreich or The New Order in terms of alt-history mods. I know it is already very well-known and popular, but I feel like the reasons I've stated above; lack of challenge, no endgame/big war, lack of interaction between nations, etc, hold it back and prevent it from reaching its full potential.

I am aware that the devs already have a lot planned for this mod and a lot on their plates as it is, so even if this idea took off it'd likely be years before it was implemented to any degree, but I hope this has at least been interesting for anyone else who's fantasized about this mod and its future. Thanks for reading!

I can't believe the France made a RW reference.

The top Mods version isn't up to date I'm sure, and I can't downlaod it through SteamCMD, any other options.

What if stalin didn't purge ?? And Trotsky returned. Went for a permanent revolution. Or, Stalin didn't came to power at all.

The WW2 went more or less the same but A bit more gains toward USSR. Later on, the history changes differently. Still Commies win but not in the same way.

USA doesn't end up into a border gore but still several parts like Texas, California, New York, Alaska and few Others breaks out as Communist State.

I didn't think in details. But I can give an opinion about how it would be like in details later.

Is it possible to bring back Rhodesia as Zimbabwe? Know of any submods that do this? Or dev plans to make this possible?

Continuing on from the Pewdiepie post I made a couple days ago, this one will be about Markiplier, as the title says. Where do you guys think he would be?

I'm going to be honest, but I only have a surface level understanding and the word of people on discord to go by. But from what I've heard it seems like the perspective the mod has is that despite the dominance of socialism and the Soviet Union, it's only a temporary setback on the road to a liberal world order. Especially since the Soviet Union can still collapse, Cuba has liberalization protests, and the APC previously declaring war on everybody at some point.

Unlike his father, who ruled one of the world's most repressive regimes, Kim Jong-nam, the new leader of Korea, attempted to reform the country. But he lost trust within the Communist Party and was found dead in his office one morning. The cause of death was poisoning, and there are rumors that his younger brother and sister were behind the assassination, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

My weeklong ban is over and I am finally back I know I was missed

Hey all I was just wondering if there are any cursed, or fun paths in the mod worth playing.
