Game: Krasnacht, a mod for Hearts of Iron 4

Post title: New Ideology idea: Situationism. Born out of the ashes of the Second Weltkrieg, this semi-anarchist movement of avant-garde artists believes in socialist art as the only road to victory against the Bourgeois & Reactionary nations known as "The Spectacle"

    I unironically love Hoi4 alt history mods because they are absolutely fucking stupid and clearly made by politically illiterate people, and that just adds to the fun factor for me

    There was some mod where commie Goebbels walked into a communist meeting and went "Yo what if we had communism, but with ALL the classes?" and everyone was immediately converted into Strasserists. He was also the leader of a faction that was "Bolshevik" translated into German, so it just means "Majority'". It's so fucking good lmfao

      sounds like Red Flood, is that Red Flood?

      It has France turn the Avant-Garde art movement into a literally "crazy" political ideology, lead by a schizophrenic.

          me i just want a modern day hoi4 mod with tons of focus trees so i can have maduro invade the usa

          They have that too, except it's still made by politically illiterate libs who think that if CPUSA came to power it would abolish the first and second amendments.

          Well actually I can see that since the old CP became a DNC tailgaters party

          There's Millennium Dawn which can be kinda good. But if MD isn't your thing, there are some forks of it before the merge with Modern Day 4. One is called Novus Vexillium or something like that. Alternatively, the Cold War: Iron Curtain mod is really good. Not modern day obviously but I think there are some start dates in the 70's.

            Millennium Dawn is really boring though. It tries to simulate economics in a war game which doesn't really go anywhere. There's a bunch of really long focuses for very little benefit. Also the actual warfare is pretty bad, as factions don't form cohesively and the AI can't handle all the added equipment. Speaking of which, all the added equipment and unit types don't make the game better, it just means you have 30 hoops to jump through to deploy a unit

              Yeah, feels like some serious wasted potential unfortunately. I've tried to play an ascendant China trying to overtake the US but its just too boring to get very far. I just spend all the time building factories and doing focuses. It would probably work better in Victoria, hopefully a modern day mod gets developed for Vic 3.

        I think it might have been Kaiserredux or some shit

        I have yet to play Red Flood but from what I've heard it sounds very stupid, just my kind of thing
