[QUOTE=Freakie;46525776]Looks to my uneducated eyes like something insufficient RAM would do.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I think so. Oh well, there's nought can really be done about it. [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] This new DLC already looks to be promising. Even if they completely bugger the RP aspects, they seem to have at least learned that they can't keep releasing products with the mind set of "we'll patch it later"

Yeah, doing QA and beta-testing [I]before[/I] launch is definitely a good idea.

[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13459825/NukularBambs.png[/t] The US decided to go to war with me over Uruguay. I had 52 nukes saved up and enough ICBMs to cover the mainland US. This is the result. Oh and of course they get 0 dissent from literally 50 nukes hitting the mainland because they nuked the chinese a few times so literal nuclear holocaust is 100% fine as long as the other side gets bombed to shit as well.

Ah CKII, never change. Load up the Charlemenge start with this guy named "High Cheif Nalgra of Yugra". Son and I both aren't married. Get us married first thing. Not even a day into my son being married i become lovers with his wife, who is 16 (I'm 39). I have a child with her, luckily my son thinks it to be his. then she dies of illness. God, I love this game.

I don't know if anyone here plays with BlackICE but the new 1933 start date is pretty sick, theres some great Alt-history chances, just as Germany where you can be either Nazi's, Weimar, Commies or Social Democrats and alot of other stuff for other nations. Unfortunately there's not gonna be any event chains for anything besides Weimar and Nazi party, which leads me to my question does anyone know any good alt-history write ups where Commies take control in Germany? I'd rather just write the events than have to think them up. [t]http://puu.sh/d1NGJ/233ca88e53.jpg[/t]

Also change the name of Germany, it's like a communist USA being called Communist Party. [editline]autism.png[/editline] I also remade the flag I use for my current DH DDR game for HOI3. [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13459825/DDR_ALT.tga][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13459825/DDR_ALT.png[/img][/url] [editline]yetmoreautism.jpg[/editline] Actually the biggest problem here is changing flags and names while in game. It'd be cool to have a "Change the Weimar Republic flag". You could probably do that with an event giving the DDR (if there's a human at the helm) all provinces minus 1 then spamming events telling the player to save and reload as DDR, then have a decision giving the final province/annexing the old nation. It's hacky and ugly but it should work.

Its written like that by default, the small parties aren't expected to win (infact the Nazi's are fucking stupidly OP, I had to cheat to win. They have insane Org bonuses and just end up sucking you dry of MP). The flag was also just the political parties boring Red background and star. I'll check out Mixed Mod, thanks. [editline]23rd November 2014[/editline] I had actually already made the one you saw in the screenshot. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33594635/KPD.png[/t] It includes the star of the party, the flag of the German revolutions prior in 1848 and the Grains to show the 'working peoples'. Its just something haphazardly thrown together I feel like another design would fit abit better than the the overused DDR flags seeing as this is its own independent movement. And yeah, unfortunately theres no flag changing mechanics like in Vicy2. Its to be expected with the small time scale the game is meant to be set in, though your idea is good I wouldn't have thought of that.

I've never played BICE before so I don't know how the mod works and how much the mod breaks by having a communist Germany, but I think you might have a really good idea here.

Isn't the 1933 Start Date still pretty WIP?

Its pretty buggy at the moment as the '33 date isn't ready for release yet, the Nazi's always end up in a war with the allies, the prides of the fleet end up sinking somehow even though they don't exist, and other weird events happen and the AI Weimar and Social Democrats have trouble defending themselves and end up getting annexed pretty quickly because the units OOB spawn them inside one another (cool idea, not very good in practice). I think I'll end up adding something also for the civil war with foreign support like the SCW because as it stands its way too hard. I'll just write the chains independently and release them as a submod, so there isn't any problem when new versions of BICE come out.

I'd guess WWII would've been between the Comintern and the 'Allies', which may or may not include the United States, Italy, and Japan. I'd imagine the Germans would've sent troops to the other side in the Spanish Civil War, and they would've won. Might've annexed austria and czech back as part of germany for the revolution, but otherwise I don't see them aggression any more than the USSR did against Finland or some other countries during the war. That is until World War II begins in 1940 between the Soviet-German alliance and the Bourgeoisie Powers.

Why not go full alt history and create a rival Internationale under the Trotskyists? Would also set up for a nice big war between Germany and the Soviet Union. [editline]why[/editline] TBH what I think would happen is Austria being influenced/infiltrated by German communists causing a civil war or a coup d'etat. Italy won't like this and will probably declare war if Austria gets annexed/puppeted by DDR. If the couping fails DDR should be able to just invade Austria, but that'd mean Italy will defend Austria. I'm not sure if Italy should be able to call in the Allies by decision/event. If Germany loses this war (let's say the Italians push up to Bavaria) Austria will be made a puppet of Italy. Probably also join the Allies shortly after by event. If Italy loses DDR'll get an event asking if they want to annex outright, annex only the colonies or annex part of the Italian coast/Sardinia. If Germany annexes the colonies you can have events giving Eritrea to Ethiopia and go from there (making them a member of the Axis/Comintern at the end of the event line ofc). In any case there should be a chance Hitler becomes leader of Austria.

Would you have an option to continue paying reparations in exchange for the French and English turning more of a blind eye? Choosing to reoccupy the Rhineland, a 5 year plan, etc. How would Poland feel being bordered by two massive communist states. How about possible German communist influence in the Second-Sino war and the Spanish Civil War? The Popular front in France was also the majority during the 30's, continental Europe would be dominated by these 3 perhaps? Would Germany setup pro-communist client states or just outright annex them? Theres also the pro-fascist parties in Italy and Austria, maybe the tripartite would be between Japan, Austria and Italy.

SCW can be done like in Mixed Mod. Tripartite could be fun if you can make 4 factions happen.

I can't wait till HOIIV comes out and we get tons of alt history mods.

[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46557497]I can't wait till HOIIV comes out and we get tons of alt history mods.[/QUOTE] Meh, I'm not sure if HoI4 will be interesting enough for me to get it. There's probably quite a few modders who won't jump ship to 4 yet. [editline]24th November 2014[/editline] Actually the best thing they could do is make their scripting language more powerful, add flag/name changing and conditional logic.

I'd assume the allies would have been extremely hostile to a communist Germany. Take into account that a lot of US businesses supported the Nazis since they were the only real rival to the communist party in Weimar. As well some would argue that the Nazis were able to build up without confrontation due to the belief that they we're going to take their new war machine towards Stalin and the communists. It's only when Hitler sets his eyes on the Czechoslovakia that they start seeing they've made a mistake. After the Nazi-Soviet pact is signed it guarantees war between the West and the Third Reich. I'd imagine a more active USA if war broke out in Europe with Communist Germany. It was really only their own interests in Asia that conflicted with the Japanese that brought them into the war in the end. Otherwise there was some pretty high support for the Fascists in Europe.

Newer Paradox games have much larger audiences and many more modders, which is why I'm sure HoIIV is going to have a shitton of awesome mods.
