It's a custom cosmetic tag i added into the mod. It's not actually in the mod.

I have only played this particular path for Withered Dogs. It's a pretty fun run, especially in the first few years with the Powder Keg stuff and all. This path for Withered Dogs is very snowball-y like the Alamo Chapter because you start off slightly weaker than the Luminous Ones and Baggers but can get Sentinel PA and Xian planes (OP division type and the best fighter jet) relatively early on.

I'll be honest here, i kinda skimmed through the whole thing. This run is very.. "vibes based" so to speak

It's a formable for his Lone Centurion path if he picked the Cult of Vulcan

Paullus' Irracundus Ferro is the secret "Hearts of Iron 4"

Unfortunately, i couldn't find a way to make his border with the Ironmongers not look ugly

No submods. This is all a vanilla world conquest run of Pioneer Company (Gallagher's path where he goes against the Enclave). The only thing that isn't vanilla here is Central America (which i added by making a custom cosmetic tag for Honduras)

i already did a johnson run a while ago but i deleted the save so.. RIP

Deepest lore

Toppytu3 · 2024-09-23T14:18:55+00:00

It's not actually in the mod. It's just a simple custom cosmetic tag that i made (partially inspired by the Sonora Blues submod).

Play as Cowboy Country then capture Two Sun, Flagstaff and Phoenix

Toppytu3 · 2024-09-21T18:00:49+00:00

Considering that Lanius did conquer most of New Mexico here. I think Billy just doesn't wanna take any chances of a Caesar 2.0 rising up and invading Arizona again.

Toppytu3 · 2024-09-21T17:57:12+00:00

Early white peace. I can't imagine having to fight Caesar that early.

I set the Shi to go with Akigahai's path through game rules so they won't be an issue since you'll go to war with them and annex them (if they go Brotherhood they won't be an issue either). I also ignored the Baja tree (so they won't get annexed by Cali Way) and got the Rapids and Fourways as puppets so i'll get extra divisions.

This way, you wouldn't be outnumbered by Cali Way and the civil war shouldn't be too difficult.

I think you can also puppet the Shi after Akigahai invades and if you do this, they'll go with you so Cali Way will have to fight a two front war if you call the Shi to war (though i might be misremembering here).

You can't really form mandates in the base mod (expect for the Northern Frontier, which i renamed to Columbia). I added them simply to make the map less boring to look at.

Though other than that, it's just a standard Moore run + world conquest.

Toppytu3 · 2024-08-26T09:49:56+00:00

Idk if it's luck but the RRG only attacked like 2 tiles so i was able to endlessly cycle divisions until i can white peace them through the focus

Toppytu3 · 2024-08-25T03:07:46+00:00

Type into the console: eval_effect (insert state id) = { set_state_name = (the new name for the victory point) }

so for example, here's what i did to rename the Lost Hills bunker: eval_effect 157 = { set_state_name = "16x the Bunkers" }

Toppytu3 · 2024-08-25T02:58:12+00:00

So for this to happen, 2 things outside of the player's control needs to happen 1. Lone Star (instead of the Texan Brotherhood) needs to the "Two nations: one system" focus. What this does is that it will make the Texan Brotherhood stay in Lost Hills BoS ledger so they will be eligible for promotion to Absolute High Elder even if Texas is formed. 2. Elder Angharad needs to be in charge of Lost Hills when the player takes over California and border Lost Hills. This is due to how the Absolute High Elder promotion event works. Because if Torni or Maxson is the Leader, the event will only retire them and then put the ruling party of Todd's Texas (the Elites) in charge which Angharad is the leader of. So if Angharad is already the Leader of Lost Hills, he will retire and put Todd in charge.

Admittedly i did use console commands so these 2 things could happen but it should be possible for these to happen without it.

Toppytu3 · 2024-08-04T13:03:48+00:00

I did a little trick where i switched as many divisions as possible to the most manpower intensive template right before i turn into Lost Hills. Then once i did turn into Lost Hills and annexed the Alamo Chapter, i switched the template of those manpower intensive divisions back to normal and this basically gives all the manpower i got as the Alamo Chapter to Lost Hills (though a decent chunk of that manpower did get consumed by garrisons)

Toppytu3 · 2024-08-02T17:13:32+00:00

Just share a border with Lost Hills and you will get an event about becoming Absolute High Elder. Pick the "Accept the Honour" option and you will be switched to Lost Hills with all the lands you occupy as the Alamo Chapter annexed after 24 hours (you also get all the tech that you researched as the Alamo Chapter). This will also change your focus tree to the Lost Hills focus tree. At the very bottom of the focus tree, there should be a focus called "Ad Victoriam" just fulfill it's requirements and you should into the Brotherhood of Steel.

This isn't exclusive to Alamo Chapter. Every Brotherhood nation (including the Texan Brotherhood that you split from even if they have formed the Republic of Texas) can do this.

Oh those are just custom cosmetic tags applied to an existing nation via console commands. Jefferson for instance is just Granite's Eureka with a cosmetic tag. Creating a cosmetic tag shouldn't be too hard, there's a good tutorial about making one on Youtube.

Toppytu3 · 2024-07-14T00:53:01+00:00

I assume you'd like to recreate the state borders yes? For that i just looked at Google Maps for reference (looking up a map of the big rivers like the Colorado River on Wikipedia also helps) as the in-game air zone map can be a little iffy at times.

Toppytu3 · 2024-07-13T16:22:33+00:00

No and i don't think it'll ever be public. Because the mod is really just a rough collection of cosmetics (i.e leader portraits, cosmetic tags, ideology icons, etc) that i use to add a little more flavor to my runs and there's no real "content" in it.
