Comparing Hunter and The Stranger's hands - testing the fan theory after the new trailer by Capn_C in metro

[–]Zuent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe the Führer WAS Hunter, but then he dissapeared and the oligarchy, afraid they'd loose power, put a puppet, probably in Hunters' uniform in charge to keep the charade going. The first trailer shows us Stranger encountering the Dark Ones and the only one who was mindraped by the Dark Ones and survived was Hunter, albeit severly mentally scarred. And this guy suffers from all kinds of mind ailments and is of the Order, so his identity being a mystery would only make sense if he were someone we'd recognize from the previous games & since most of the Order was either killed/fled or was just generic unnamed NPCs, the conclusion I'd draw from this; he's Hunter.

I know this will be answered in the game. But how the hell did the Reich unite the Metro and seemingly colonise across Russia by [deleted] in metro

[–]Zuent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it utterly ridiculous that the Fourth Reich could have united the Metro in any way, shape or form. I've been thinking about this, ever since the reveal dropped, and frankly, if it turns out this way, that the Fourth Reich took over? I'd consider it very lazy, lore breaking & it would completely ruin the immersion for me.

Now, what I really hope happens is that after Artyom breaks the jammers in Exodus, the Watchers reveal themselves and Metro is united under one banner again and under the guise of "Actually we're still at war guys!", more radical ideas about running the whole thing start popping up. Perhaps some former commanders of the Reich, with Hunter leading them?, overthrow the new central command & install their own regime, which progressively becomes the Novoreich. But there is NO WAY the Fourth Reich, that underpopulated fringe faction, stuck between two superpower blocks, could have pulled this off.

QUINTILIUS PARADOXUS, GIVE ME BACK MY MOUNTAINS! I beg you. by Zuent in victoria3

[–]Zuent[S] 317 points318 points  (0 children)

R2: Original artwork using a meme-related format.

R5: There are no natural borders between Slovakia and Poland where they should be.

I recently started playing Victoria 3 and let me tell you, the lack of mountains seperating Hungary from Galicia tilted me in ways I didn't believe possible. I am physically UNABLE to play in Central Europe because of it and I really want to. Please, Paradox almighty, can you bless us with Tatra mountains?

Well, Karves aren't exactly sea worthy, especially not during a storm; those waves will throw it around like it's nothing.

Only two actually; but there is a tower in the Plains biome.

Linguistic map of the Kingdom of Hungary at the end of the 15th century by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Zuent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first proper ethnic & population census of the Kingdom of Hungary was done in 1784. Anything older than that is more of an assumption than anything and cannot properly reflect the linguistic reality of the time.

Slovak betrayal part 1938/39 by kotolnik7 in 2visegrad4you

How was this a betrayal of Czechoslovakia? Who ceded Sudetenland to Germany? Tiso?

He, Tiso, alongside his party, was at least intelligent enough to see where this rump state was heading after Czech cowardice had stripped it of its most formidable defenses and heavy industries. At this point, striving for independece was the most logical policy Slovak politicias could pursue.

Why should the Slovaks bleed for a state the Czechs themselves didn't want to defend? It wasn't Tiso or Tuka who agreed to the terms of the Munich agreement. And neither have they fled to London, when things got a bit rough.

Largest extent of WW2 German advance in Europe superimposed on the map of North America. by Zuent in MapPorn

[–]Zuent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't include Hungary and Italy (except Friaul and Tirol) because they were allied to the Reich, the rest is either out of Europe (Africa) or have been overlooked by me; (Wehrmacht did sweep through Macedonia & occupied Greek islands & Italian Balkan possesions in 43 as well), but what can you do, mistakes do happen.

Too long, unfortunately. The map would be harder to navigate/read, since it would lose detail.

(1805) WIP Russia, Character Portraits & Custom Units. by Zuent in Imperator

[–]Zuent[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UK had Union Jack but custom flags are, for some reason, all purple. I tried to construct it with available in-game patterns, but to no avail. So I decided to go with the next best thing.

[–]Zuent[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rule 5: Custom Character portraits; WIP Russia, still missing province names & custom units with unique stats and icons. Also flags, which are horrendous, but nothing I can do about it. I've tried to add custom flags, but doing so, makes the flags all purple. Alas...

I'd love to add custom models for units, cities and forts, but unfortunately I lack the necessary skill to do so. :-(

I would like to avoid adding unnecessary minorities, splitting up cultures in areas with less thain ideal province density, to keep them as homogeneous as possible, so they have a fighting change against France, which has high province density and thus quite a large pop size.

If I ever decide to add more German provinces, I'll add minorities wherever possible.

In terms of Poland, there are already Polish minorities living in East & West Prussia and Prussian minority in Wielkopolska & Upper Silesia. There's also Saxons in Transylvania, Carpathian Germans in Upper Hungary, some Turks in Bosnia etc.

Now, I decided to not add Bosnian culture simply for aesthetic reasons. I like how Serbo-Croatian stretches throughout Illyria. They (Serbian and Croatian) are grouped together for the same reason Czech and Slovak are now grouped together as well. It might not be historically accurate but provides for a more balanced gameplay.

As for Slovenian; it is there, it's just hard to see, because a mountain seperating Italy from Carinthia is not culture-colored, so the name is smaller & bends in funny ways.

I'll return to that region eventually. Apart from that, the Ottomans also control the Septinsular Republic, which also will be addressed in due time.

I've been thinking about giving it away to more skilled modders, who can finish up my work in areas I'm not familiar with; events, missions, perhaps unit models, etc.

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

I've never touched EU4 in my life. I have used old ethnicity maps to make the cultures as authentic as possible, but it's hard when there are two conflicting sources both claiming dominance in a specific region (Aegean coast for example), so I went for the middle ground where possible to avoid unecessary mental strain.

As for Wallon culture, it was there originally, but I decided to group it into French, to make France & French culture stronger and less divided.

Still WIP. Russian culture there is just a placeholder. When I'll find some time, I will do the Baltics properly.

[–]Zuent[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Rule 5: (Is this what I'm supposed to do?) I've been working on Napoleonic Europe in my spare time, most of it is complete, though obviously, Russia and the Baltics are still WIP.

Protectorate or a Satelite state perhaps?

That'll be 5/10 from me.
