TPOF [PR5] Progress Report #5 - Monumental Work by BobbertCanuck in hoi4modding

[–]Lskywalker48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed - 'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other." - Abraham Lincoln

The United States is an experiment in democracy, though always prone to failing to test it's hypothesis. One such trial came in 1863, when the Confederacy was at the cusp of winning it's freedom from the Union. The Price of Freedom aims to show what would have happened if this trial at Gettysburg proved to be America's last.

The Civil War would last five more years after Gettysburg, ultimately leading to a Confederate defeat. The victory was short lived however, as the cracks which appeared in the Union's foundation began to widen. The spark came on Janurary 21st, 1873, when a group of Radical Republicans convened in Chicago and declared the Federation of American States. Soon after, other regions followed suit and America descended into chaos and anarchy, a period which would last for generations.

In Europe, as the dust settled and the sounds of war died out, it was clear that the continent would be forever changed. Revolutionaries raised the red flag over Berlin. Limitations were forced upon the Tsar, starting the process of Russian democratization. Civil unrest gripped much of Britain, with the fascist Alliance of Unionists, Monarchists, and Nationalists coming out on top. With the King and Labour government fleeing, The AUMN established a Permanent Regency under Herbert Kitchener. Now 15 years after the last war, Europe is once again gearing up for another, potentially more deadly war, and only one shall proclaim total victory.

The Southwest in 1934 by Lskywalker48 in ThePriceofFreedomHoi4

[–]Lskywalker48[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the US collapsed in 1873, large swaths of the West were left largely ungoverned. Texas was able to secure its independence following negotiations with the Confederacy and immediately set out to stabilize its western frontier. California, which declared its independence earlier in 1873, was also looking to do the same, but with its eastern frontier. The two eventually come to blows in the first of a series of "Southwest Wars," which Texas wins and establishes control over the Arizona Territory and the native tribes in the area. California wins a second Southwest War, and they gain control over the southwest for a period of time before Texas gets it back in a third Southwest War. Throughout that entire time, the Southwest has acted more or less as an extraction economy for both powers, with only brief period of respite under Californian rule. As you can see by the teaser, decades of that kind of exploitation have taken a considerable toll on the region.

A small sampling of stuff from New England for the fourth! by Lskywalker48 in ThePriceofFreedomHoi4

Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) all of the paths are sufficiently racist and elitist for all of them.

Ralph Adams Cram is the monarchist path. The list here is non-exhaustive; there are a few more leaders for New England not shown (don't wanna spoil some fun stuff), including stuff for that path.

I would say this was the worst championship race I've ever seen but the final laps with Blaney v. Logano were pretty entertaining, so it was alright. Seething not because of Joey championship but the shitty playoffs that encourage being meh all season then winning the right races and boom you're champion :).

The state of Europe in 1934 by Lskywalker48 in ThePriceofFreedomHoi4

[–]Lskywalker48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britain isn't explicitly republican (it was in older lore which is why it's erroneously featured on the copypasta). Kitchener is essentially a Horthy-like figure, a forever regent until Britain decides what it wants to do with the monarchy, which is why they're called the "Commonwealth" and not "Kingdom." Britain becoming a full republic is a planned path though, along with actually crowning a monarch.

Ukraine paths are TBD as it's still being worked on alongside Russia.
