So, I'm about to start my first-ever USA playthrough. My plan is to go Wallace>LeMay>Glenn. Any tips?

Obvious boosting of the NPP prior to the election of 1964 and passing the Civil Rights Act. Having a liberal majority in the Supreme Court helps too, to help screw over Wallace's segregation attempts.

If you want to do some good before throwing Wallace out of office, pass Social Security and Medicare without segregating it, but that in and of itself is a small challenge. Do know that it takes a hot minute to get through LeMay's tree, so if you want to speedrun impeachment and the senate trial you can go the focuses that work to end the Civil Rights Act.

Both Thurmond and LeMay have access to the NPP foreign tree, so if you have the time you can time the treaty port negotiations right and have Glenn! get all the credit.

A liberal Supreme Court will also work well in a certain part of Glenn!'s tree.

It's over. TNO was a mistake.

I cannot help but agree. Sometimes I really hate the fandom.
 
I think there need to be more wholesome TNO memes and less of an obsession with Taboritsky, Omsk and the like.
I've always said that WerBell is never talked about and for no good reason.

He is hilarious, wonderful, badass, and memeworthy, way more memeworthy than lame-ass rape jokes. In a sane world, Cincinnatus WerBell would be memed to hell and back. I am, of course, not someone who would want to live under Cincinnatus WerBell, but it's far better than the fountain of memes known as Ordenstaat Burgund.
 
I have tried every trick under the Sun and still can’t get this mod to work. I used to be able to play pre update, but I haven’t been able to get it to work once since TT. Other mods work fine on my pc too :/

After a conversation with our gentle friend @Baron Steakpuncher I was told that as better things might get in some areas, sadly the british never will catch up with their modern standard of living or diplomatic power

Please take your moment to take your fedora, bowler, baseball cap or anything you have over your head (hair included) in tribute to our might british friends who blessed our world with tea, mods and benny hill, who are doomed to not be as epic in TNO as they are otl


Take a moment in silence and give them your sublime and truthfull F

I'm the same. Are you also crashing just as the game finishes loading?

To be honest, that is to be fully expected. After all, unlike OTL, TNO Britain would, at the very minimum, be bombed flat by the Nazis as well as having many of the cities turned into Stalingrad-style battlefields during WW2; Not to mention having endued 20+ years of balkanization, Nazi occupation, and low intensity guerrilla warfare that eventually turned into all out civil war. And that is even before getting into the fact that England would have been largely cut off from the international market due to the OFN embargo combined with Germany's economic cluster f*ck, or the brain drain resulting from all the people fleeing overseas to the US and Canada via Scotland.

For TNO Britain, the City of London, for example, will never be able to regain its position as one of the world's most important business and financial centers, and Rolls-Royce will not be one of the leaders in the aerospace industry.

Thinking about it, I think TNO Britain can be compared to a mix of OTL Turkey (Going from having once been a mighty empire to a shadow of its former self after being defeated in a war. Might try to pull a dramatic shift back towards greater international engagement later on, but will remain a regional power at most), Thailand (An active US strategic ally in the Cold War used for the power projection for the former in this part of the world... But clearly the junior partner that is more or less subordinate to the wishes of Washington and dependent on Western money), and the Czech Republic (Having once been an industrial and economic powerhouse in its own right... That sadly got wrecked as a result of occupation by a foreign power. Eventually managed to break free and re-intergrade with the world economy, allowing it to flourish... But never managed to fully regain the place it once had).

Which is why in my TNO head canon, the NDL government under Jellicoe went with the reintroduction of battleships for the Royal Navy instead of shifting to aircraft carriers, and listened to Arthur Harris' heavy strategic bombing focused approach when developing a new doctrine for the Royal Air Force instead of listening to their American and American-educated advisors who told them to focus on jet fighters.... The same reason that in OTL the East German military retained so much Prussia influence and traditions despite being communist: Because they were so desperate to assert themselves as a sovereign nation.

On the 'plus' side... In my experience, the TNO world is so wrecked in general that even with just England alone before the British reunification, the country tends to be the second largest economy in either the Einheitspakt or OFN depending on which side they ended up joining. So that should still give them some muscle to throw around on the international stage.... Even if that is more a reflection on just how poorly the rest of the world is doing instead of any sign of how great things are for England.

Tbh this is part of a wider tendency of hoi4 mod fandoms hyperfocusing on the extreme ultra-reactionaries and their extreme socialist counterparts (and god forbid you have nazbols). It's a trend I am generally both puzzled and annoyed by.
 
So apparently Serov won't display Koreanphobia anymore following a rework. Would not be suprised if that instead he develops his own antisemitism instead
What I don't understand about that Komi/Russian unifier is that, he was only anti-semitic and anti-Korean(?), the other discriminations I don't see them. What sources did they use?
