ArchangeI posted:An Alien invasion DLC is a really fun idea, if only because it will piss of the grognards. Again. Pffft, the grognards have already long since cancelled their pre-orders. If I remember right, when you popped the alien invasion event via the console in HoI2 (and maybe even still in Darkest Hour, I'm not sure), you would specify a province for the aliens to land in, and they would start spreading. They start with, iirc, 1936 tech, but get mind-boggling research bonuses that propel them far past the player in no time. I want to say there was an AAR on an alien invasion in the past couple years on the Paradox forums, but I can't find it at the moment.

Why do you gotta bring in Aliens? I wanna see Nazis fight Aztec Warriors shooting Obsidian bullets. I am so looking forward to HOI4 for my Grand Campaign with SI turned on

gently caress an earlier start date, but one which extends -fully featured- into the Cold War period would be fantastic.

As it stands, the HOI framework doesn't work well enough for modeling all the things that made the Cold War special. And there's enough about the Cold War to make it getting its own game worthwhile.

Victoria 2's influence, flashpoint, and diplomatic crisis system would probably be a better framework for the Cold War.

Please keep the HOI timeline limited to 1948, Paradox. Kaiserreich has a terrible amount of empty space it has no hope of filling, and stopping the tech trees and such at 1948 would be a great way to silence the demands for late-game stuff we can't provide. If you want to do East vs. West properly, though, go ahead.

Groogy posted:Why do you gotta bring in Aliens? I wanna see Nazis fight Aztec Warriors shooting Obsidian bullets. Wicked idea. At least the "Occult" tech tree could be put into Darkest Hour though. If you can think one up that would be a funny addition to say, Kaiserreich instead of the boring secrets weapon tree full of future ships nobody will ever use.

I will have to come up with some Alt tech for the AAR when I get there. An Occult tech tree would be awesome for the Aztecs actually. Maybe also for my Norse nations, depends on what happens in Vicky I guess.

Awesome Kaisereich right now. German puppets in Asia crumble, I nobly defend my fellow germans! (monetary interests) and declare war on the heathens! War is going fine while I whittle down my dissent from black monday. Gasp! Japan decides to take the Legislation Cities? My german people? Uh. My money is being threatened! War! Two fronts are fine if they are in the same general direction, right? So now there is a land war in Asia along with the mother of all sea battles around the chinese coast. Japan had the upper hand at first but then ALL of my fleets arrived. Now they are re-organized into task groups and my luftwaffe is patrolling the seas. This will be fun. (only my 4 divisions of marines sorta kinda decided to retreat into enemy territory so now its a race. Can my mot inf take the province before I lose my best shot at taking the japanese home islands?) (and will France declare war?)

Darkrenown posted:We won't start before 1936 initially, and I'm not that keen on doing it later. I mean, there's some cool things to do, but an earlier start means even more sitting about for some nations and a much larger chance that you don't get anything that even looks like WWII. Plus if Hitler doesn't come to power we don't get any use out of our glorious portrait , but the paucity of techs meant I had to rework vast swathes of the tech trees for everything just to get enough techs in the '20s for there to always be something readily researchable. HoI2 proper and HoI3 were little better in that regard, and made it unappealing to ever shift a scenario back from a '36 start. Even doing a mod with a 1930 start seems like it'd involve having to redo chunks of the tech tree, just to deal with having a start a few years earlier than vanilla.I mean I could mod that on my own, sure, but if that sort of thing was already fleshed out just in anticipation of people fiddling with the start date a bit, then I probably wouldn't make so many whiny noises.
