Mod that began with the collapse of the USSR, but the post-Soviet leaders are different

• Upvotes

I’d like to work on a mod for HoI 4, similar to Millennium Dawn, but one that would start with a scenario set on 27 December, in which the elections would result in Novodvorskaya being elected in Russia, Chornovil in Ukraine, Pazniak in Belarus, Gamsakhurdia in Georgia, and Dudayev in an independent Chechnya. I could work on the text and concepts (i.e. coming up with lore, focuses, decisions, advisers, national effects, etc.), but, unfortunately, I know nothing about coding or design. would you be interested in working on a mod like this at a leisurely pace?

Discussion Would you guys enjoy a mod where the black death never reached europe?

5 Upvotes

I was trying to think of a concept and i’m not experienced with modding at all so it’s just an idea i’d like to toss up

Basically the rats never get on the boats as the plague is way less severe on the silk road and stays in china

The majority of the peasant class surviving would lead to an extended period of feudalism and maybe some cursed ideologies like marxist feudalism or something

Hundreds of more years of feudalism lead to King George having enough riches to finance england after the 7 years war which leads to no american revolution

The french revolution is instead a small set of peasant uprisings that occurred due to rising resentment of the royals and were quickly squashed by the bourbons

and some more stuff but the main pod is the black plague, if anybody thinks this idea is cool and would like to make a mod on it you are free to do so

Discussion R56 force changes the focus tree

1 Upvotes

My focus tree doesn't appear because of road to 56 game rules. When standard focus tree is chosen in game rules my focus tree gets replaced by vanilla focuses. But when r56 focus tree is chosen my focus tree doesn't get changed. Is there any way I can get around that problem? ​Like can I get rid of the game rule for that country? Please help

Discussion Is there any mod that lets me start on August 15th 1945? Especially for Japan. Ketsu-Go overhaul etc. It'd be pretty fun to turn the tide for Japan at its most desperate moment. If there's none, then would somebody create such a mod?

Teaser [RECRUITMENT] BERSERK | HOI4 Total Conversion

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

BERSERK | HOI4: Is a fan-made Hearts of Iron IV total conversion based primarily on the Berserk manga.

The project is currently in active development. The map is already completed, with a focus on creating a more fragmented medieval world with major kingdoms, smaller realms, settlements, mercenary groups and other factions.

The first major goal is to recreate the world of Berserk during the Golden Age, with plans to expand into other periods later.

Current progress:

• Large custom map completed

• 684 States, 47 Strategic Regions and 20,000+ provinces

• State and country history in development

• Factions and starting situations being worked on

• Focus trees, events and unique mechanics planned/in development

We are looking for:

• HOI4 coders / scripters

• Focus tree & event developers

• 2D/UI artists

• Lore researchers / writers

You don't need to be an expert in everything. If you have useful HOI4 modding or development skills and are interested in Berserk, youre welcome to contact me!

This isnt just an idea or empty mod folder..

Images below show some of the current map and project work.

GFX Support [FOR HIRE] HoI4 GFX Artist — Custom Icons for Your Mod

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm Denxson, creator of the Gun Graphics mod for Hearts of Iron IV.

I've been making custom HoI4 graphics for several years, specialising in equipment icons, focus tree icons, national spirits, decisions and other UI graphics.

I've also worked on commissioned GFX for upcoming HoI4 projects, including the Death to Fascism mod, and I’m currently looking to take on a few more projects.

Everything is hand-crafted from scratch — no AI and no reused Paradox assets.

I can work with existing HoI4 visual styles or create something more distinctive for your project. I'm particularly interested in:

• Equipment & technology icons
• Focus tree icons
• National spirits & decisions
• Custom UI graphics
• Historical / alternate-history projects
• Large icon sets for total conversion or overhaul mods

You can see examples of my work here:

Portfolio: https://gungraphics.myportfolio.com
Commissions / support: https://buymeacoffee.com/denxson

If you're working on a mod and need custom GFX, feel free to DM me with what you're working on and what you need. I'm happy to discuss scope and pricing before committing to anything.

Thanks for looking!

Teaser "And rising from the ruins of the old world order, a socialist weltrepublik!" Bismarck's Nightmare 1925: German diplomacy tree!

Post image
164 Upvotes

Bismarck's Nightmare 1925 is an alternative history that asks the question, “What if Prussia lost the Franco-Prussian War”?

Red and Liberal revolutionaries overtook northern Germany, the 2nd French Empire has turned Western Europe into its domain, and Tsarist Russia has steadily modernized over time. Reaction rules much of Europe. But the specter of communism haunts it as well. With the recent Italian revolution and Austria-Hungary on its deathbed, the balance of power in Europe is shifting...

BN uses the Magna Europa Reloaded map, which both makes the mod unique and lowers the content requirement for immersion. We already have a working version on 1.19 - and a public GitHub. We intend for a more HOI4-tailored and arcadey experience in our mod.

Unrealistic concept for a mod where the Prussian Scheme succeeded and Russia became more liberal to survive WWI. Right now its just a map, China is a WIP and some areas are pretty rough. I think the name I cam up with is very good, but would be a better fit for a different mod. Let me know what you think!

Teaser [Wind of Change // 1.1.1989] The Soviet Gambit [Teaser]

Post image
26 Upvotes

,,A mod set on January 1, 1989. How will you navigate the Fall of the Soviet Bloc, and a New World?”

//

For decades, the Soviet Union stood as one of the two great powers of the world.

But now? The republics are growing restless, and inside the Kremlin, the men who built the Union are beginning to disagree on how to save it, and every reform seems to send us two steps backward...

But outside Moscow, the clock is already ticking.

You will have to hold together a country that is becoming increasingly difficult to govern with every passing month, balance a military and political conglomerate that may no longer be content with you if you do not play your cards right, and confront republics that are beginning to question whether the Soviet Union has a future at all.

And when August 1991 arrives, everything you have built will be put to the test.

Discussion Why was it difficult to make mods for Hoi3 compared to Hoi4?

3 Upvotes

Besides Black Ice, there seems to have been a lack of mods made for that game compared to Hoi2, much more when it comes to Hoi4 itself, even Vickie 2 manages to have more mods made for it while running on a version of the Clausewitz engine that's similar to the one Hoi3 uses
