Place the sign above the opening of a wood chipper, then watch as Wiz becomes the most vilified man on the internet.

Seriously, the changes coming will provide you with all tools necessary to become the galaxy's biggest racist rear end in a top hat if you want. You could be all "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearing to be free." and resettle them properly. Or you could also just start towing their refugee ships into the nearest sun before you start eating the rest.

I actually do feel legitimately uncomfortable playing as Germany in HOI because I hate seeing hitler's face every time I go into the politics screen, like "that's me, i'm Hitler"

Yeah for some reason being stalin and literally choosing to enact the great purge doesn't bother me at all, but looking at a picture of hitler gives me the heebie jeebies. It doesn't make much sense but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a very fun nation to play from a gameplay perspective, being a plucky little militaristic upstart and seeing how much of the world you can conquer. You just have to uh, not think too hard about what your actions represent

The only time I've played Germany I couped them to Democratic first.

With all the national focuses giving you war goals and the fact that this was the release version where other countries wouldn't sanity check their focuses, it worked out mostly the same except I wasn't Hitler spreading fascism.

The only true way to play Germany in any HOI is to go communist. Long live the GDR. :ussr:

e. EU4 horde mechanics are also sort of gencocidey if you pick up the coding of development = population.

Yeah, it's been awhile since I played EUIV, but two things come to mind:

1. You can literally attack the natives in colonized provinces until their population is zero.

2. You can pay to "switch" cultures in any province you own, which happens over time. This is literally an abstraction of cultural, religious, and physical extermination of human being on a large scale.

I always tried very hard to not actually think about what some of the real life things the game mechanics were modeling.

And in the case of the military attacking the natives, there is a very literal translation.

Only guys at Paradox know when, and patch 1.5 will be bundled with a paid DLC. The latest dev diary mentions which of the things are part of the free patch and which features come with the DLC.

Last I played HPM I got annoyed at how much stuff it adds to the game, which also seemed to make it run slower. I would recommend NNM instead if you only want some more countries and stuff

That said those look like some neat features, perhaps I'll hold off on the Rights of Man or Together for Victory DLC and just wait the Banks DLC.

Does anyone whose used this mod know if it changes the South Africa events? It always bugged the poo poo out of me in vanilla that the Boers are just gifted large swatches of lands to represent their trek and no one around them gets a chance to do anything about it even if you're the Zulu's and they're stealing half your country.

Once I reviewed hoi3 by saying the ai had trouble actually doing the Battle of Britain or invading anybody (which was true, and made playing as countries outside the mainland dull as gently caress) and got all these angry emails saying that only losers and retards let the ai control their troops because i guess they couldn't conceive of someone not playing as the nazis?

Whenever I play Eu4 as a colonial nation I always select "let's be friends" for my colonial policy.

I pick that unless I'm playing as a native in which case I need the +10 or whatever colonists and choose the exterminate all natives policy.

Glad to hear it! And not knowing what you're doing is the best way to keep megacampaigns from getting boring.

...Okay, the second best way. The best way is to be like Wiz and mod in all kinds of flavor that also coincidentally removes most of the strength you built up last game. But I'm not smart enough for that except when my AAR readers feed me ideas.
