What I said at the end of the video is basically me saying that the GWR saga will be discontinued. The mod makers seem to want to make a totally historical mod which, by as you saw in this video, involves nerfing pretty much everything non historical. For example, features such as an unavoidable Ottoman surrender countdown, and an impossible to beat Xinhai Revolution could all be coming soon. TLDR, this mod will soon become unplayable/close to unplayable unless you are the Entente. I’ve already gotten comments saying what I did in the Ottoman video is now longer possible (sultan path removed, starting factories nerfed etc). Alt history paths tend to be the fun and interesting ones and if these are made impossible then there will likely be no more GWR videos for now. Hope y’all’s enjoyed watching while it lasted, and make sure to play before your favorite strategy gets nerfed! Just an fyi, it already took me 3 tries to crush the revolution before the rest of the country rebelled so be aware of inconsistencies even on the current patch

[@brendanmui7571]

Tbh it feels like the devs have no stones

[@HC44809]

Devs are ruining the mod by nerfing everything

[@warcrimeconnoisseur5238]

Why? Why do devs hate fun so much?

[@shadowmane6528]

I Loved great war redux IT was my Favorite mod but the devs destroyed the mod sadly

[@dyn9726]

I know being a dev is hardwork but still, by fixing with nerfs and not properly rework them is basically a death sentence for the lifespan of the mod. And it's obvious that people wont have fun 🤫🤫

[@truelightningstriker5803]

Abokado: *Breaks WW1 in HOI4 and is having fun* TGWR Devs: We don't allow any fun here. Swing the nerf hammer, boys.

[@blazingblizzard-6894]

Despite Pwner’s spam about the Qing submod for GWR, it genuinely is the fix for what these crackhead GWR devs are doing. It’s an actual dynamic tree that’s fun to go through, a much fairer difficulty, and a satisfying gameplay loop. It may not be the fix to entire Great War Redux, but it makes Qing very fun to play and is worth trying out!

[@TGACmapper10]

16:20 It doesn’t belong to Russia, it doesn’t belong to ukraine Everyone knows FREE PROPERTY OF GREAT QING DYNASTY

[@Venator-Class_Star_Destroyer]

I am the Community Team Manager in the HoM server, and hosted the GWR on 3 different occasions, first two times were fine but the third time? We were in in perpetual trench warfare for like the entire war, it was painful and it stretched to 1919 and nearly 1920 but the German Player surrendered in December. This mod is fun and well made usually but there are too many buffs and debuffs when fighting and in MP where everyone is more competent than AI it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to actually break through, it took me turning off the AI of Italy after the player left to help end the war. But I suggest playing the Qing Submod, it allows you to avoid the Revolution and do some pretty powerful things

[@achourfreepalestine]

I love how he called an entire nation's name "clickbait" 😂

[@achourfreepalestine]

I really love the comedy in this channel

[@legaullonapoleonien8760]

Great video, love it. I agree with you about the balancing of the mod, I get it why it should be harder to Austria-Hungary than the US. But if the nerfing is too harsh, it's not fun anymore. I really wish the devs reverse some of their nerfing !

[@samidknom6970]

Man i love your videos

[@J7Handle]

I just wanna say, doing force attack with one division and then adding other divisions to the General does NOT give the force attack bonus to the other divisions. Gaphically speaking, they'll have it, but in the actual combat stats they achieve, they will not. Furthermore, if you do a force attack with one General, and switch that division to another General, the division will keep the bonus for the normal 7 day duration. And the effect can stack with multiple Generals. What I've often done with this in many playthroughs is, if I have a few spare generals and a bunch of command power, I'll swap a pair of divisions to an new army, put every general on that army in turn, do a force attack with each one, then switch the divisions back to the original army. And then I can get +300% attack and +450% breakthrough bonuses, though my divisions will also suffer hefty casualties even with all of the breakthrough and the shortened duration of the battle, because the strength damage penalty of the force attacks also stacks.

[@ack5567]

Great video!!!

yeah man i got hoi4 because this mod and i last week i was playing as ottoman sultan path watching your video as guide i notice after you defeat balkan league you get an event called raid on sublime port there are decisions to slow down the time for the event to trigger but even after you have clicked on those decisions it will always result in sultan being removed and constitutional monarchy coming in and you are stuck with playing with the same party you kicked at the start of the game the ITF authoritarian party

I personally as the Qing, build a fort on what is effectively every border, amass the most unnecessarily large army, and grind everyone’s recourses and MP

[@Potatoguy-qd8ei]

I have played through China in that mode so many times and when you were getting the option for the fate of the Beijing Army I was saying pick the top option pick the top option because if you pick the bottom option it prevents you from getting a bunch of claims and core

[@nathanchen4068]

he did pick the top option

[@ankard4]

No its time for the real challenge young padawan great war redux submod for the qing empire are you ready?

[@Jackandhiscats]

It kinda makes me sad to see how poorly the developers of this mod are handling it. by nerfing the non historical parts of the focus tree and making them needlessly difficult it is going to kill the lifespan of this mod

[@leelaprasad9916]

Bro you should try playing The Empire Mod. It is basically the same except the start date is 1700. Top countries to play are Spain, France, Austria, Russia, Prussia, Ottomans and Persia.

[@mappingshaman5280]

Why would you play as half baked persia and not as the mughals or England which have full focus trees?

[@leelaprasad9916]

@@mappingshaman5280 Persia's focus tree is half baked, have you seen it. Also the Mughals? They only have two focuses. What are you talking about?

[@mappingshaman5280]

@leelaprasad9916 it's the marathas whom only have two focuses lol. The mughal focus tree is big and has things like going after the European colonisers, attacking the ottomans, etc. The persia focus tree is small and even the devs have said its unfinished.

Instead of annexing Mongolia and Tuva, let them get focus tree factories. Its not much, but the land is useless and you can annex them later.

[@mappingshaman5280]

The issue with that is Russia has a 35 day focus to annex tuva so you're against the clock to annex them.

[@Bacegun]

For some goods, like trains or palnes or tanks you need the ressources to produce them, meaning if you dont have steel you get a -100% factory output on some things (6:43)
