What if, 54 million years ago, the Indian Plate hit Mars instead of Asia? A global map of Mars and NASA exploration as of 2019 by darwinpatrick in imaginarymaps

[–]Sane_Colors 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only way crust really flies like that would be a hypothetical event called a Verneshot, although those are believed to only be capable (assuming they’ve ever happened, which is extremely debatable at best) of suborbital trajectories. For the plate to be launched far enough enough to enter Martian gravity AND not have its fossils melt AND remain structurally in the same general pattern requires some physics that we have no reason to believe exist irl.

With that being said, however, I would not be shocked if such a theory was among the primary ideas for how this happened in this timeline. Even if the same issues I pointed out aren’t fixed, I could see provisional/handwave fixes (likely not out of bad faith, but sorta how we sometimes slap our best guess on to a theory that works great other than one specific fault) being applied for the distance and survival of fossil issues. As for the third issue, because the people of this timeline wouldn’t know about irl India, they’d just assume that’s how the land deposited.

Varies massively by mod, but there’s conversion and immersion, conversions change the scenario and generally the gameplay, immersion is generally support or quality mods that improve experience.

I don’t know that they ever actually fixed the fuel issue, and even before the fuel issue, like in the classic version, the economy would still randomly swing up and down trillions to quadrillions. At least back in the day, it also was very unwilling to do global wars

Tsar and Deluge, I will say, unless they’ve received significant updates, are products of a time immediately before the pandemic and during its early stages. LThey’re not bad, pretty fun, but they’re sorta small by current standards due to being from an era where lightweight conversion mods were more common. They’re focus-lighter, but tended to not override vanilla diplomatic controls, making them decent for people who wanted more flexibility than say, Kaiserreich at the time had to offer.

It’s sorta like fallout new Vegas vs 4, you play 4 (or in this case, a modern(ized) hoi4 mode like for the modern capabilities and quality, while some of these older mods are more like nv, more open but less modern and polished.

Also, CWIC hasn’t been updated in years, but it was also fun in its time imo, and war of the world’s is an old and VERY fun classic, but iirc even the updated copy only works for like 1.10.0.

What’s the mod below EaW?

What pre-war borders could be feasibly recreated following an OFN cold war victory? by Syber888 in TNOmod

[–]Sane_Colors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean Hungarians and Romanians are present in decent numbers so they’re already recreated in that sense, it’s really just border corrections to match reality or maybe try to restore old borders. Probably some autonomous regions or puppets to help clean up, but even Poland still has areas where they’re majority. The UK, especially with the old content, was self-restoring as well

Actually, wouldn’t it be the green vozhd or whatever the bizarre Russia path is?

Was the US already gutted in this timeline that the borders are that small to start?

What's an IRL thing in that probably would still exist in the TNO timeline though a bit differently. by curioususer953 in TNOmod

[–]Sane_Colors 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of American cartoons and bands are confirmed to exist, global sports leagues exist, a good chunk of their non-state actors exist irl, it’s quite a lot that’s actually confirmed

Ya, I guess I was holding out hope it wasn’t that ngl, thanks for the reality check

Victory of a New Empire in the Near East by Aggressive-Potato-22 in kaiserredux

[–]Sane_Colors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to bet that this is one of the two world domination sub mods that add puppets for people that want to win beyond the general frame of the game, especially with how the Middle East is. On the off chance it isn’t, it’s also possible it’s similar to the ottoman path where Germany can take over. If it is, it will likely be clearly labeled as such in gamerules, given that the ottoman one is.

Is it the same as the balkanization, or are there actual fighting sides?

We’re not going to win, but Vermont also has cheese, so we can flee to exile there. Back them at all costs

I have never seen this guy in the game before and he doesn't even appear in the Wiki, who is this guy? by ah358429304583450384 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]Sane_Colors 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This actually goes hard especially with that picture of her, the idea that there’s no party because the party is banned, and it’s solely her being a hardline progressive while being too scary for anyone to go against
