Because Bronies are a special breed of dedicated. The world the show crafted was that engaging, and the fans feel an unusual comraderie due to the oppression felt for liking a TV show. And with the world expansion during the last season? Knowing what I know of the show (my BiL was the half finished Celestia fursuit meme, guess what family gatherings were about so I had to stay on the up and up...) Most of this mod was simply plug in the puns and pictures; anyone who knows the lore knows about 90% of this is ripped from the show (including Stalliongrad... that was an actual reference during a Los Pegasus travel sequence iirc). The anime fights made it almost worth it. Almost. Nothing quite like rainbow death lasers from fashionista and party cartoon horse things.

[@kettlejocksjr7771]

the reason why the nation would not cap was because the forest is alive and that's what's actually dealing damage to your units(meme event). so you gotta make sure that the forest does not own a single state even the territory you captured. that's why you gotta read the lore sometimes.

[@PhoenixFires]

Its funny because all of this is pretty accurate to the show which addresses Equestria as a big allegory for the geopolitical and social issues that humanity has faced over the years. The Changelings are racial hierarchists, the dangers of extreme equalism in Our Town, the Buffalo being native Americans who are repressed and in conflict with the Western cowponies, the Griffons being isolationist xenophobes, the dragons trying to overcome their greedy and sadistic culture which ostracized the kind and generous, a literal god of chaos voiced by the same guy who played Q on Star Trek, etc. As much as MLP was about the simple issues of being a good person like kindness, respect, responsibility, etc. it was also discussing many adult themes and issues like genocide, slavery, racism, xenophobia, classism, and authoritarianism.

The changelings are insectoid shapeshifting succubi. They literally consume love for sustenance. Their main feeding strategy is to kidnap a pony, shapeshift into them, then eat the love of their friends and family until all positive emotion has been drained away. This is canon, this is how it works in the show.

But here' we've got a half dozen places further north just on the same continent. Although I guess Pinkie did have to go through the Crystal Empire to hit Yakyakistan, so there's at least one country canonically north of the Crystal Empire. :D

This mod is genuinely incredible, and imo the best HoI4 mod of all. The sheer depth and content available is actually staggering. If you ever play again, Hippogriffia has over a dozen possible paths and is very interesting, and even that is just a small sample of all the content available.

[@Ushiokoroni]

Never watched the show and probably never will be, but i just love this mod. It is one if not the best total conversion mod for HoI. Gameplay wise there are new techs, new unit's and so many detailed focus trees that can let you go so many different ways in so many different nations. And there is so much lore that mostly has been created from the ground up by the devs, you can either ignore it or read up on huge history and curent events. My favourite part is tough that you can do your own thing and not just get dragged in to just one big world war like vanilla thanks to one nice thing that the mod does different. The create/joined faction mechanics are turned off by default, tough can be changed still in the menu btw. But what that does is that you can only create and join factions through focuses, events and descisions and you wouldn't believe how great it is that you can just do your own thing without having to worry that you are draged in to a big war all of a sudden. All in all this is my favourite way to play HoI by now, i have played so many games alone and with friends so far and im still far from having played all the different nations and directions. And the devs just keep on adding more and more.

[@trapical]

I agree that it's by far and away the best way to play single player Hoi4. The base game is better for multiplayer because the wars are truly global and you need coordination. EaW is mostly about having multiple small scale wars and it's much more manageable for single player.

Last time I tried this mod it was just the two continents. The one in the south is new for me.

One even gets to execute one of the original characters from the show that is acting queen of the Crystal Empire. After Sombra comes in, the country is renamed into an even cooler name. And a choice eventually comes up with a choice to marry one of the other leaders, one of which is the leader stakuyi is playing in this episode.

[@royalfusilier1427]

@@fighter1375 No... but it still fits.

[@fighter1375]

@@royalfusilier1427 Reminds me of when TommyKay, a good HoI4 player, did the same thing as Stakuyi for this mod but with the Dread League, he got his ass kicked and went along the lines of "I don’t think I understand this mod" and hasn’t touched it since

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

Hello, as a former writer of the game; this is still pretty good after all the years of development (Last wrote for the game in 2020, but man do I have a lot of countries in there I did stuff for at this point that is still there!) Hope you at least had fun. Though I would honestly, play something besides Changleings. Might I recommend playing again as Kasa, New Mareland, or the Griffonian Empire or the Aquelian Republic?

[@Toksyuryel]

I'm curious to know why you aren't involved in the project anymore

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

@@Toksyuryel abusive community They didn't like that I was streaming and doing better than their "official stream" and started making a bunch of fake pictures including ones of me doing self harm, such as drinking a blue liquid from a windex bottle. So I left rather than deal with it even if management was on my side I saw no reason to stay after that.

[@Toksyuryel]

@@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer Ugh, it's so horrible that they did that to you :( why do people have to be such assholes. I hope things are going well for you now.

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

@@Toksyuryel Devs are cool, closer community members suck. It's a nice feather in my cap at this point for a writing reference. Highlights from me: Most of the political events for Aquelia New Mareland's Revamp, one of their generals, the tank commander is also my OC, as is the Pink Zebra Several events sprinkled through the River Republic are mine and the advisors Quick Stitch and Martini are things I added Kasa, all of it, literally nearly every bit of it was written by me including the splash page Several of the minor events in the Crystal Empire and Equestria The Entire Heyna philsophy and splash page I was the primary playtester for the entire naval rework and am one of the reasons they have that massive naval tech tree that they do; also figured out how the AI worked for the dev team so they could write a co-herent AI Navy and make it work. The Penguins were written so much by me that they had me do their admirals and I literally just used the Penguins from Madagascar as a meme that people just enjoyed having I edited a bunch of the events involving "The Woods" and every changeling player will have PTSD flashbacks from that Beyond there, various little events, tech descriptions, national focus descriptions, and "International Events" flavor text are mine. I worked for them for nearly 4 years. I am glad to see it streamed through the incidents especially the windex bottle has made it where I myself will never play the game.

[@that_guy_412]

in all honesty this mod is THE best mod for hoi4 and its so sad that it is underappreciated just becuase it has ponies in it if you ever decide to more of this mod youll never run out of fun content oh and dont play as Harmonic equestria till they get their update personally i recomend either the solar empire or the lunar empire

[@ferretzim8694]

I've played this mod a lot, (maybe even more than basegame it's so detailed) and it's really good. Not just as a full conversion mod, but in that some nations have special subsystems you can play around with. When a mod adds compelling political intrigue, and the need to balance relations within your borders, you know they've put a lot of effort into it.

[@myhopeyourhopej-hope9913]

As a brony who doesn't understand history, but does understand the lore, this was so much fun to watch even though I was correcting him as if he can hear me through the screen. I would love to play this, omg.

Hey! I worked on several of the nations, namely the Southern confederation in the Equestrian civil war, the Manehattan-based Equestrian Liberation Front (which shows up if the Changelings in the Manehattan Commissariat collapses), Vedina (the bretonnia griffonland), and Yakyakistan! We put a TON of writing into the mod and it was some of the most fun I've had in a collaborative creative project. I had a lot of creative freedom (putting a lot of eldritch lovecraftian shit into YAK and an option to turn the southern rebels into a crusading knightly order of cowboy gunslingers for instance). It's a great mod with a lot of depth

Idk when I found that out but I remember the descriptions of the arisian (ariskind? seaponies? the one from Aris!) planes are hilarious in the kind of abstract pain this mod brings.

And while it's an old video, I'll go ahead and say the same as others that play this mod... The events are important! Some events have tiny bits of text that if you notice and act upon, will unlock completely alternate paths for your entire nation. Never speed through any events with choices.

Ashes of Equestria is pretty based, yes.

Hi Stakuyi, I have a challenge. Take advantage of Fascist percent to expand as the US and still be democratic. Basically be at 30% fascism to get to the war goals area and expand. Then once you've expanded enough, ban fascism and head towards the giant awakens.

[@TheJoshman01]

"What is going on!?" *Skips all lore explanations

[@Undomaranel]

Ya know, this is pretty much all lore friendly. And yes, that would be lore friendly for a TV show aimed at little girls. For as much glitter and sparkles that show had, it also showed everyone getting their hooves dirty in war, betrayal, mind control, politics, strange political relationships (cough Fluttershy and Discord cough), fascism, stereotypes and legit racism, monarchy vs democracy, curses, and tons of DBZ lasers and fights and nightmare fuel... all powered by the magic of friendship. Oh, and the exploding top half glass of chocolate milk or Rarity in denim. For a TV show it certainly was ahead of it's time, and gave the franchise a dose of actual feminism and equality, not the man hating misandrists we see today (seriously, one scene famously showed a husband javelining his exhausted wife into the BBEG, while another husband changed diapers _with his mouth_ as the wife prepped for the journey. It was actual supporting each other, not a battle of the sexes.)
