So, I continued the game (with console commands) in HOI4 and won against Japan (and the PDTO, the successor to US-aligned countries before they collapsed in this mod, again, The Fire Rises. That is what you call the dream, right? The hope that we all dream of? Well… I’ll admit right now, this world I created ain’t so perfect. Because, story time! Don’t worry, I’ll be quick;
So, first there is the… Korea situation. I… ‘help’ Kim restore unity in the korean peninsula;
And here are my enemies; Japan, India, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand… Debate whether this is realistic or not lol.
After… a brutal landing in Japan, which I started in the Ryukyu Islands, then to Kyushu (South West of Japan), then Shikoku. I got bogged down due to intense defense and naval invasions my navy with like… 2020 subs in a 2028 couldn’t defend and I was bad at micro managing my futuristic air, focused on bombing the islands instead of doing naval warfare. I got angry, then invaded the Philippines, took a while to fully invade it due to Australia and India constantly naval-invading, forcing me to micro my units there.
The big defeat was the initial loss of Tibet to India and the loss of Pakistan as my units were ignored while I waged hell on Japan. And so, I formed a defense line there at the Himalayas, then focused on invading Japan from everywhere with the rest of my reserve divisions, and won after… 2 years since the war started? Then the rest was cleanup as I moved my japan units to land at india, as well as some of my filipino units to finish it up, as India fell into chaos and civil war, then I cleanup at Malaya, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand then Papua New Guinea, in that order. The result was the original photo and these lovely photos;
So, the game was over, yes? Well, I had to do a few more console command tweaks before I left, and let the game pass for a bit more to have…
(The photos beyond here are from vgy.me, so they disappear after a while, sorry!)
A United Naxalite India!
That’s it. Here are some… notable look-ins as to what happened beyond Asia, and China…
(The Second European War is happening)
Pavel Grudinin and what TFR calls ‘Socialist Technocrat’
Klaus Armstroff and what TFR calls ‘Revolutionary Nationalism’ also this one is not stored in vgy for some reason
Trotskyist France…?
Caleb Maupin… and… yeah, what TFR calls ‘Americanist Socialism’
Some photos of the rest of America. Africa and West Asia:
And… finally! The last in-game screen:
BTW, if I actually deployed my full air capacity, I’ll be way passing the USSR and the USSA. It’s just that I didn’t bother to micro air because it’s very hard to manage for my monkey brain micromanaging land already in multiple theaters.
What do y’all think?
