A Global War - Road to 56 WWII Timelapse

A big issue with timelapse videos is that they always only focus on a single theatre, leaving all other theatres behind, meaning that the audience doesnt get the full picture of what is happening. Im trying to develop a new format (besides the unit flags and statistics that I alaso introduced) to make the videos even better.
This is a first attempt and as always I will continue to keep improving. Looking forward to your feedback!
This unhistorical WWII timelapse is based on The Road to 56 mod. Hitler attempts to conquer the world along with Italy and Japan in the far east.
The Road to 56 mod can be Downloaded from Steam, its a great addition to the game!
This Second World War timelapse has been simulated by AI in the video game Hearts of Iron IV by Paradox Interactive.
All DLC are installed:
- La Resistance
- Waking the Tiger
- Man the Guns
- Together for Victory

[@the_user1522]

Yeah, he was the first to use this style, then in less then a month everyone is using it

[@stoferr]

Yeah, there has been a lot of copycats. First the division icons. Then I tried putting in graphs with statistics. That also got copied. Then I removed the graphs because most people on mobile couldn't decode them and instead used simpler numbers. Then the number got copied too. :D So far the only thing people haven't directly copied are the popup events and now the moving camera. But that's only a matter of time. It's all good that we inspire each other but it would be nice if someone also made their own concepts instead of just duplicating.

[@plushie946]

They really have to fix that bug (or feature) where after a war a nation will stay the same ideology and then they will just get endlessly invaded past that point. If they aren't puppeted after a war they should still lose their faction and they should have a high chance of another ideology becoming most popular, leading to either a change of government, civil war or coup. Also peace treaties should really have a truce system with them where the same majpr nations cannot continously go to war.

Even though this mod is very good at bringing flavour to minors it is so imbalanced such that ı turned it off after some time.
