Don't tread on the bear: NCR in Old World Blues Hearts of Iron 4

[@zestfisher565]

EY More Old World Blues! Thanks once again, the perks of you knowing snip-bits of Fallout Lore and thus far rather knowing of HOI4. For me a wonderful Combo to watch.

I know all th elore! (not really, but I played Fallout twice, Fallout 2 probably 5 to 7 times, Fallout Tactics three times, Fallout 3 twice, Fallout 4 twice and Fallout New Vegas 2738736529 times.

Welcome to the group, I am pretty shit in vanilla but can take on any challenge in OWB.

[@FriedrichBarb]

You must do the Lost Hills next, its the ultimate "Invade the entire map" nation and a very unique political power/volunteer system

[@NaN-noCZ]

“It’s big, it’s strong, it’s also a bit corrupt.” When you put it that simply, I realize why the NCR is compared to a bear, just like Russia.

[@samerwin5853]

Of all the factions in OWB the one I personally enjoyed the most was Lone Star. Rebuilding Texas from the ground up was a real test but a fun one nonetheless.

[@Eskeletor_210]

Other than lone star and Enclave I also like the Seattle chapter

[@KevinShift]

Hi, enjoying the playthrough of this wonderful mod, one of my favorite mods in HOI if not my favorite. I also enjoy the longer video format of it as it shows the full scale and events of the mod. An interesting path and somewhat more difficult nation (since you said the NCR starts off strong as it does) is the Texan Brotherhood. The focus and lore is really interesting as the focus tree goes down the reformation of the state of Texas as whole after an entire debacle with surrounding Texan alliances. I hope you read this and I would love to see you take interest in this nation as it's one of the lesser known ones, anyways love the playthroughs of this amazing mod keep up the great work.

[@VanBourner]

definitely do Enclave reborn. In the older versions it was incredibly indepth and fun, haven't played it since then but I guess they only really improved it. Also your subjects are getting their autonomy through war effort

[@naturalbornpatriot6369]

Troll Warren is an excellent choice to play as and form “New Mariposa”. Or, Shales Army/Ironmongers (behemoths with shale, tanks with ironmongers, they both get access to intermediate aircraft as well).

[@SacredDaturaa]

It feels like the mod really needs to make the NCR's debuffs more severe. The NCR should start the game already creaking under its own weight and barely able to hold on to their extant territory.

[@hopin8krzys]

Tlalocan (or however it was called, the big nation in Mexico) is also really fun. To not spoil too much - its an AI at the end of its life, and it will split into three separate nations

[@Slywyn]

I played this a bunch recently and tried out the Enclave Reborn mod with Enclave Reborn + or whatever it's called and I have to say it was ***excellent***. I loved the writing in it and there were a lot of new mechanics and things to do. I really, really, really loved it.

[@kdholden]

if nobody got me taureor got me thank u for the old wars blues content

[@Taureor]

I got ya. THere is at least one more video coming

[@spudzzy0373]

24:00 not something in OWB but the Minutemen are argueably the only good faction in the Fallout lore. They don't discriminate against ghouls, only want to help the people (at a minutes notice), and actively help people to rebuild the wasteland. Sure they aren't the most powerful but that changes with (presumably) the canon ending of FO4 (Minutemen and BOS survive) when they become as powerful as you wish. Gotta have some light in the dark of the wastes

[@Taureor]

Nah, canon must be the institute :D Who would choose Preston Garvey over his own son?

[@spudzzy0373]

@@Taureor joke answer? minutemen = settlements = cool builds Real answer? FO games seem to have the least bad ending be canon and given that the institute are one of the evilest factions in the franchise I can’t see them being the true ending. The brotherhood gets a pass despite not being the best since they’re Bethesdas favourite

[@Batboy11k]

“God Bless the Encolave”

[@Freezezonian]

I've always found The Twin Mothers(they are just above Laniu's cohort at the start you can find them as an interesting nation pick in the Texas focused start screen) as an interesting pick. Their focus tree has some interesting directions. and if you lose their big main war they end up re-spawning so you can try again.

[@The1971Cuda1]

I’m really happy to see you playing this mod! I really hope you give the enclave reborn mod a run at some point as well!

[@FeCyrineu]

You should play with the Enclave+ submod. It's pretty good!

[@shiny1556]

This mod is incredibly cool. Not only is its OC content really cool and fitting in the lore, this mod is full of deep cuts. For example the entire Washington Brotherhood War along with the Cause is all from Fallout Extreme (a planned fallout game that died really early) and the Slthanter were cut Fallout 1 NPCs. This mod deserved to surpass Kaiserreich so its well worth the celebration.

[@hopin8krzys]

When you will play EAW, you could leave ironman on - that mod is more stable than vanilla

[@jackgrimmett6470]

i recomend the enclave reborn + plus mod it expands on the already great submod but expands the paths for more late game fun, the navada path isnt done too often and was recently updated would be a change from the normal america or purist rout that are so common :) btw love your vids realy helpfull

[@Shadowguy456234]

[@Elyseon]

The Malpais Legate is Joshua Graham's former identity. I guess in this timeline he never got set on fire for losing the first battle of Hoover Dam.

[@domena1007]

The reason that your puppets got autonomy was because you had too many of them. You gain a national spirit which increases puppet autonomy if you have a lot of them, but I think it also gives you -5% consumer goods, I am not 100% sure though.

[@snowmexican4980]

Keep going with the modded Hoi4 stuff. I love the modded Hoi4, espically OWB.

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

43:54 In an Ironic Twist, Malpais Legate was spared from Caesar and did not become the Burning Man, hence his appearance here.

[@SadRNGesus]

Robot City is a fun and (at least for me) quite hard start, i had to fight for survival and it has a nice focus tree.

Kampania wyprawy na północ bractwa stali (bractwo stali z Waszyngtonu) jest dość ciekawa.

[@hedgehog3180]

The ammount of industrial technology you need to research seems kinda odd given that it's a very big part of New Vegas that the NCR already uses concrete and on such a large scale that they even set up a lime quarry in the Mojave. And other pretty big part of the game is that the NCR already has a railway system and factories and were planning to build a railway into the Mojave. Like the industrial technology of the NCR is clearly already up to a roughly 1940s level by the time of New Vegas. But I'm guessing it's meant as a balancing thing.
