When A German Plays Prussia In Hearts Of Iron 4...

It's time to play Prussia and make Bismarck's dream a reality.
It's time for Tommy, a German, to unite Germany under one country.
It's time for one of the most ambitious mods in Hearts of Iron 4.
It's the end of Prussia but a beginning for Germany.
(so epic...)
Anyways Tommy is back to HOI4 Mod Review and he's going to be reviewing a HOI4 Mod with the most potential and that lasts almost 200 years.
The mod is called End of a New Beginning and it starts in the Victorian Era aka 1800s. It's basically Victoria 2 in Hearts of Iron 4.
But yes this could literally be one of the best mods in HOI4, yet literally no one talks about it or has mentioned it for a while now.
He's going to be playing one of the most overpowered countries in this mod and that is Prussia which has so many focuses for different ways you can go on about uniting Germany.
And you always know that a German + Prussia is an interesting combo.
Nonetheless this is what happens when Tommy plays Prussia in HOI4 End of a New Beginning Mod!

Massive thanks from us at the EoaNB team for checking out our mod. a big note is that we are developing each era at a time, so while the plan is to get to 2050 at some point, we prioritize getting the first part of the mod polished first.

[@louieggg213]

I think you should remove the placeholders until the content is ready to make it feel more polished. Just my opinion though and you might have very valid reasons for not doing that. Great mod either way. Keep it up guys!

[@bored432]

Your idea is great but I feel you should focus on the victorian era only because the extra content just makes the game very laggy

[@eoozy2617]

Yeah sorry to break it to you but no one is gonna play up to 2050 in HOI4 unless they are actually mentally insane. I dont mean this in a bad way btw, its good to be ambitious but too much is too much, I mean it could technically work if you added different starting eras but no one is going to play one HOI4 game for 200 ingame years.

[@scrollexdestiny]

@@eoozy2617 agree around 42 it gets boring for some nations or to laggy. i tried to make a world conquest but yeah it got boring and laggy and it feelt like years to wait for stuff to happen. 200 years to many years for one play

The problem with Tommy wanting the ai to be more difficult lies in the historic premise of the mod. Prussia absolutely trashed Denmark in 1864, as well as Austria and France because of General Multke.

[@logikkat3425]

This mod is honestly really good. The overhaul starts in such an interesting time period which can allow for some really off the wall alt history. The main issue with the mod is that the HOI4 engine isn’t made for such an ambitious project and the mod will often suffer from intense lag that even the best computers will struggle with. Another core problem is that the mod doesn’t reconfigure HOI4 ai to be able to handle the intense politics of the Victorian age. Apart from these issues, this mod is very good and as a early supporter I can say that this mod can do some very great things for this game.

[@FalkyRocket2222]

Tommy's reaction to the german flag is a really sad reality. The old german Empire and War flag which I reallt like by design has been tainted by various people, who deny corona and other stuff.

I definitely agree that this mod needs to focus on 1 era first. Of course they can go into the modern/future era when they want to but they need a solid base line. If you go alt history in the Victorian era you shouldn’t be forced into the same World war/modern era setups later in the game, so you need to develop new entirely fictional wars and scenarios for if you decide to empower and improve a weaker nation like China or the Ottomans.
