HOI4 Dev Diary - The Baltic States 2/2

[MAX_PL_2]

Anyone know if there's any chance the devs will be playing the next patch during PdX Con?

it is possible that it will be the same as before with the gameplay showing the new dlc

 

[MAX_PL_2]

I am worried about the price of this dlc

 

[Ghili]

Can we get a bit more information on the forest brothers?

@Meka66 Hey hey, great to see so much content coming with the next DLC but id feel silly if i didnt ask about Formable Nations haha - in a previous diary you mentioned you'd be interested in adding more form nations - is there any chance that any of the suggestions I had will be making an appearance in a later dev diary maybe?

Hey, a guest appearance from Hovelax.

Love your Focus Tree mod, man, wish you can complete it sometime in the future. Also, i hope my guy heard your suggestions for the Soviet Rework and implement those suggestions from both mods.

Btw, my mod is similar to your Formables mod, tbh, but only focusing on grounding the existing WtT's Formable Nations. And yeah, your FT and my SFNR mods didn't have any conflict and works well.

Okay, Meka, i'll write my review now.

@Meka66 How about a little hint for the next diary?

 

[MrMcQue]

Yep, they are being demoted to generals.

I don't mean to sound like a broken record or anything, but i think you should look into reworking some of the states and the name of the states.
As far as i can see, Estonia still uses it's modern borders, while the 1920-1940 borders was slightly different (Estonia owning both sides of the Narva river, for example.)
The Harnu typo is still in, i see. (it should be Harju)
Memel should be Klaipėda when under Lithuanian control.

Doubt they'll charge more than 19.99 EUR which is a fair price to pay for such a big DLC.

 

[modddy00]

Ah, one more question, Upon the creation of PLC will Lithuania get Polish generals and vice versa?

I am sincerely surprised

 

[Skalbini]

So let me get this straight, you get the thunder cross in power, who literally have a cross in their flag, and they can become ...pagan? Would the flag change then?

That cross that's on their flag was actually a pagan symbol i think, so it makes sense

 

[Treviranus]

Does the "State Paganism" focus require having reformed Romuvan faith in CK2?

It's a video game and we want the player to play the video game.

Actually it'll be very cool if as the soviets we can either choose to annex the baltic or puppet them ( the ia will always puppet if it's a player or annex if it's ia ) so if a player play baltic he can continue or if he play soviets he can have the factories

 

[Rachidelson]

As a person that doesn't know a lot about baltic history, I actually liked this and don't have any real suggestions, but what does the "Occupation" focus do, and why would the player grant basing rights to Germany or the USSR? Will this work like the Polish plan east to make the AI lose time? Or does it offer good stuff for the player as well? Thank you.

 

[modddy00]

I didn't do all of these, but I did do a Turkestan formable for this patch. I was bored one day and learned of the Turkestan SSR and implemented it in my own time

Finally, The republic of Stan

 

[plaid pancake]

I

Will I be able to form the Iroquois Confederation when the US gets its next rework? Or the Aztec Empire when Mexico is reworked? Possibly Carthage for Libya's? The Inuit Empire for Canada? Neo-Mali with Mansa Musa the Second? The Djinn Federation for a re-worked Saudi Arabia? Perhaps the Sumerians or Akkad or Neo(cubed) Assyria when Iraq gets its rework? Would love to have Sargon the Second with Saddam Hussein's portrait (wearing sunglasses of course)...most of all what I want is the Thalassocracy of Atlantis for the Mediterranean re-work. Would be great to see an entire island chain rise from the ocean after you unlock it with the Athenian Democracy national decision tree. They should have a 30 day nuclear programme decision to reflect their technological prowess.

It's a videogame. If the devs wanted to make everything super historical, the game would play out almost the exact same every time. I see that these things are a little outlandish, but it makes the game interesting, and allows people who play smaller nations to have more fun.

 

[mr.repnikov]

Hi! Who will be the head of the Reichskommissariat Ostland? Can I appoint Hinrich Lohse as the head (possibly by event) or will Gustavs Kelmisch be the head?

 

[Meka66]

Right now they don't, but we're seeing about getting that changed before release. No promises though

 

[MrMcQue]

You mean with Divine Marriage and Polygamy? Or rather Bloodthirsty Gods and Haruspicy so you can sacrifice your Generals and read their entrails to gain intel?

 

[MAX_PL_2]

Right now they don't, but we're seeing about getting that changed before release. No promises though

whether it is possible can to create zapadoslavia in Polish or Czechoslovakia ?
