[@lightning77877]

Considering the substantial impact and popularity of mods like Kaiserreich/(preferably) Kaiserredux, BlackICE, and the already mentioned World Ablaze within the HOI community, I'd love to hear a more extensive gameplay analysis from a developer perspective. There are many design choices, mechanics, and possible narratives unique to these mods that could spark intriguing discussions. Some questions I'd like to have answered are: What are your general thoughts on these mods? Do you think they provide a significant addition to the HOI4 experience, and in what ways do they enhance or deviate from the original game's vision? Are there specific features or mechanics from these mods that you particularly admire or find interesting? Why? On the other hand, have you observed any mechanics or features in these mods that you think could have been implemented differently, or that you believe don't quite fit with the overall design philosophy of HOI4? Looking towards the future, could you imagine any aspects of these mods being incorporated into upcoming versions of HOI, or inspiring new directions for the game's development?

[@potato88872]

Shame, they forgot the EAW mod

[@themightykoopatrol2001]

I think a Middle Eastern DLC would be pretty interesting, affecting the conflicts that happened in Iraq by defeating the Brits in WW2 and having the chance to save Iran from invasion + Utilizing petroleum economy a lot earlier with the Saudis will be too good to be true. + Turkey would be legitimately better with a far more complex focus tree + Forming a Caliphate as Yemen would be a legitimate challenge. Next can be a Soviet Rework about the pupper Soviet Socialist republics and having the chance to play with nations such as Kazakhstan, Belarus, and the one I am most excited for, Ukraine. Imagine turning your back to the Soviets and forming your own empire, it would be great. + Some outside conflicts can be great too, such as forming countries like Greater Armenia, Belarussian/Ukrainian annexation of the Polish lands, Turkmenistan invading Meshed, and obviously the best in my opinion, reforming the Afsharid legacy with Azerbaijan/ Timurid Empire with Uzbekistan/ Both with Turkmenistan. A Southeast Asia rework would be mighty, playing as the Indonesian resistance and declaring independence, asserting dominance over Japan as Phillipines, forming an Australian Empire, claiming and owning Madagascar as Malaysia, and taking over Siberia as Thailand... It would be extremely great. + A way better Japan, India, and China experience. South America DLC is not even needed; however, we have a gigantic Brazilian fanbase, so that might come out too.

I downloaded a Cuba rework focus mod to see what theyd do. They either go fascist or communist and immediately start plotting and going to war with South America. Of course when the world tension rises the big boys get involved. I was playing Germany and wanted to go get the netherlands first (cause they didnt return me Kaiser >:( ) and got dragged into the war which involved the allies and comintern along with the entirety of asia. All american countries were involved and somehow when I came in and solved the problem by killing cuba, i was fighting for asia. I let communist china and china take the NA and SA lands, just because I could. The most horrible war ever.
