Hearts of Iron 4 Roman Ambitions is a Ridiculous Mod (HOI4 Italy Rework)

Hearts of Iron 4 the Roman Ambitions mod is ridiculous but a heck of a lot of fun. A HOI4 Italy rework will hopefully come in a new expansion but this might be the next best thing!

What if we just gave Italy 1000 tungsten and oil. And let them annex most of France

You know a mod it's gonna be good when the focus tree is full of underscores.

I don’t even know why they do. The focuses are capitalized, which you have to do in localization, since syntax (the code HOI4 is written in) doesn’t allow for capitals.

What in Hoi4 is called "South Tyrol". The northern part of the Province "South Tyrol" is actually where South Tyrol is which is 80% Austrian. The Southetn Province of "South Tyrol" in Hoi4 is Ternetino which is majority Italian.

[@spark6401]

I hope they are actually going to rework not just Italy, but the soviet union too. Give them actual trees, bigger than the spanish and portuguese. More events, alt paths, etc. I understand that it will take allot of time for the devs to do it, since covid is a thing, and they need to do other things besides reworking those 2 nations. Anyways, great video, Alex, as always!

[@pardzival6660]

of course it will happen. Rumors has it that next big update/DLC is gone be the soviet union as its codenamed Barbarossa

[@spark6401]

@@pardzival6660 Oh yea, i completely forgot that they talked about this. Thanks for reminding me

[@thekommunistkrusader3921]

That's a hope odds are it will be as big as Spain which is still good and all but still

[@m1sz3lpl24]

USSR, Italy and Polish trees need a rework badly. Poland could use general rework, it's wildly unhistorical in its '36 start

[@oscarmarke882]

I don't follow.

[@ghostlyowl2302]

I love the fact that Portugal which never really got involved in ww2 get a large focus tree, but Italy which was one of the big three gets a pretty much generic focus tree

[@rja8504]

Alex “Nobody could defeat me at this point” I think you forgot the Russians and the Americans.

[@tremedar]

That's funny. With no British glue to hold them together Russia would die and then America. With standard issue SPQR you have enough resources to utterly crush everyone with what he owned...with the insanity this mod gives you? Hahahahaha....the whole WORLD outside their faction working together wouldn't be enough.

Im pretty sure everyone wants an Italy rework alongside the soviet focus tree or just everything needs a rework but good video alex 👍

[@slaaneshshewhothirst9136]

God: How many border wars did you start? Alex the Rambler: Yes

[@Canada1994]

Take a shot every time a civil war breaks out. By the time this is done you'll be drunk.

[@lamarepository248]

Who do you think made this mod? I’d bet it’s some genuine Italian fascist who tried to make his glorious empire in vanilla, but sucked at the game so much that he resorted to making this abomination. Either that, or it’s someone who’s been waiting so long for the Italy rework that he’s gone completely insane

[@jarroz9620]

Yeah this just screams "fascist larp" a shame as the early civil war looked interesting, this could have been a decent mod.

[@lamarepository248]

@@jarroz9620 an italian fantasy about killing 3 civil war's worth of italians! Facism is interesting.

[@JWorldReality]

Your guess is right, the original mod creator was an Italian fascist . The mod has changed hands since its creation but a lot of stuff is still left over.

[@_badger_9902]

Probably just a troll tbh.

[@billybish1717]

I'm actually British, and I just prioritised what I found fun, (eternal agony ain't fun, agony to mega reward is fun) , and if I wasn't good at the game why would I start the mod with a painfully hard civil war that has heavy heavy negatives on the player

[@emperorofnothing1]

you think you had it bad well my italian uprising joined the comintern

hey Alex, i suggest you play mods with colour puppets mod, it makes your puppet's colour your colour
