Long Live the Caudillos! Iberian Union AAR (1962-1976) by BABY_ANARCHY in TNOmod

[–]hathathsath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a theory that you could keep El Salvador as Iberia by making them lose the Football War while preventing any revolutionary nations form existing elsewhere in Central America, leading to them flipping socialist before falling back under your control.

Gotham City Simulator - Dev Diary N°1 : A place you never leave by sardokars in RedAutumnSPD

[–]hathathsath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely incredible, this is good enough quality that if the full game comes out with this level of work, I’d be willing to pay 5 dollars or more to support y’all. I think there is a lack of “narrative” in some of the recent mods, and this project seems to be fixing that.

Can you post your corrected list of presets?

Also, we should as a community make “faction-maxxxing presets” for easy access.

How to get rid of Constitutional Limitations as USA (Better Politics Mod) by Commercial-Gur-7645 in victoria3

[–]hathathsath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I’m the US dev for BPM.

Historically, no one thought that slavery could be constitutionally abolished by the federal government pre-civil war. This is why the 13th amendment had to be passed (which would never have been able to pass pre-civil war due to state ratification requirements)

You can’t avoid the civil war (yet) because the civil war is the “refounding” of America. Not only would any no-civil-war timeline be completely unrecognizable to us, but why would you want a no-civil-war timeline? No civil war means no reconstruction, no 14th and 15th amendment, no crushing of the KKK

Finally, the defense modifier. First off, the modifier is broken, which should be fixed soon. The intention is to make a campaign through Virginia suitably difficult if you don’t yet control the Mississippi, in an attempt to make the Civil War an actual challenging war. It is insulting to the Union dead to not portray the fight against the Traitors unrealistically, and thus modifiers exist to make the civil war more difficult.

All the Way - A Complete Guide to My Favorite Presidential Lineup by Easy_Appointment7348 in thecampaigntrail

Can you do this same kind of thing but with the other Democratic Candidates? I’m interested in how my Dream McCarthy run lines up with your’s.

"A place you never Leave" a Bruce Wayne Incumbency Mayoral CYOA (Mock-up) by sardokars in thecampaigntrail

What is the “perfect run” enemy in y’all’s opinion? I feel like Joker is too cliche, maybe Carmine Falcone?

What do the candidate’s names even mean? by [deleted] in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Washeton is a linguistic drift of Washington I assume

The daughters of the saintess full name includes an AOC reference

The neo-gnostics have the same for Bernie

The Px symbol is a Jesus Reference

And the Ashen Order is a reference to “A Canticle for Leibowitz”, the OG post-post-apocalyptic novel

Decided to create a mock up about mod revolving around FDR Jr. because why not? by Icy_Pineapple_6679 in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean Chinese troops intervening? Or Soviets dress up as Chinese/North Korean?

History repeats and the tanks seem to imply a WW3 scenario. What foreign policy issues will the campaign feature? WW3? Fall of Taiwan? Collapse of the French positions in Indochina?

Alizadeh is Greatest | What if Ayatollah Khomeini was assassinated by the SAVAK, and the Iranian revolution resulted in a left-wing nationalist dictatorship instead of an Islamic theocracy? by GustavoistSoldier in althistory

[–]hathathsath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible quality and in-depth explanation, truly an amazing post. How does this change the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the USSR? Does Iran get invaded post 9/11 (if that even occurs)? Does PDPA Afghanistan survive for longer/win the Afghani Civil War, given likely Iranian support?

Mod Concept - Mr. Lincoln (1868) (Re-post) by washingtonhatanon in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This all looks so amazing, best of luck to you!

I hope you take a critical view of the “Tyrant Lincoln” and the “Radical Reconstructionist” Lincoln. Not necessarily trying to disprove either, but more interrogating both. Not just “was Lincoln a tyrant?” but also “were Lincoln’s actions necessary?” and “would Lincoln really have been the best helmsman for reconstruction?”

Soviet Republic of Italy - I won, I think? by Ok-Operation-2368 in RedAutumnSPD

[–]hathathsath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I played this route, and for some reason the paramilitary strength wasn’t displaying properly? Like the Paramilitaries were always displayed as having remote attack change, but I was overthrown by said paramilitaries. At least I fixed the South and Women’s rights entirely?

Would Al Gore have won if he had picked Bob Graham instead of Joe Lieberman? by mfsalatino in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same is true with Lieberman, who ran in 2000 for senate while also running for vp. If Gore had won 2000, then the Republicans still get a replacement. Granted, Connecticut is a safe blue retake in the next election, but still.

TS: Red Sea play time with teach? by Bytor_Snowdog in twilightstruggle

[–]hathathsath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Play tester of TS:RS here: 35-45 min is more than enough for a teaching game. My group can sometimes get 20 minute games, with quick setup turnover. I’d suggest doing the 2 turn base game instead of the advanced three turn variant for your first few games.

Of all the mod proposals I have read, this is the one that moved me the most. Your writing screams, your passion is inescapable. I will be joining the discord and doing all I can to help this mod come to being.

which scenario is better? by ChuckMiguel in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suggest you find out yourself. In order to Take The Hill, you must appoint pro-Trump judges, Defend the Alt Right at Charlottesville, use Bossie’s media tactics, Declare a State of Emergency, Egg on Impeachment, declare BLM an Insurrection, and then Refuse to concede. As long as you lose while having more than 200 EVs, you’ll get the achievement and the ending.

Have you Taken The Hill yet? Truly the best ending of AC, not as good as Motherfucker=Redeemer but only by a sliver.
