(Game is Hearts of Iron 4: The New Order, the good Axis victory timeline mod).

    Is the mod fun? The premise is incredibly grim and fighting a nuclear nazi germany sounds miserable. I'll probably still give it a shot if the writing is good and if the left has a decent shot at winning

      I had a fuckton of fun playing TNO, the writing is excellent and god knows how they managed to find so many obscure characters to make them leaders/important people in their timeline. It's a realistic representation of what would happen if the Nazis won the war, everything falls appart very shortly, it's not an ideology nor a system designed to keep itself alive for too long. You can play as Nazi Germany and take Gorings path and you will see, it's sheer chaos.

      I still haven't been able to reunite Russia as Sablin, the most wholesome lefty ever. Fucking Rurik owns me every time.

        I’m optimistic that the dev team has been moving left since the creator logged off. Still radlib but not inherently anticommunist/revolutionary anymore.

        Eh, the whole "gray scare" and the US supporting communists to fight fascism is comical.

        I should mention that the country writing teams didn’t work together. Hence why non-lib left paths are doomed in the US and Britain, but not in Russia.

            Oh yeah. Harrington is some blessed reformist fantasy escapism.

            Also, even if I hate LBJ (Vietnam and all), I found his path funny. He essentially goes on a bullying spree to get the Great Society passed.

      It's very fun. Reforming the USSR as Yagoda and also kicking out Yagoda and removing the dictatorship is one of the most fun games I've had in Hoi4
