This series of articles has been really good. I've played plenty of Dog shit mods of Hoi4 and joined way too may discords to keep up on the development of mods that never go anywhere. For some reason lefties (particularly tankies) seem to love to mod HOI4 despite it having a reputation for attracting the far right
I remember one toozer mod that looked interesting. It was called "Knots and Barbed Wire" and its point of divergence was that the Roman Empire never came to be.
This somehow results in sub-saharan Africans managing to develop guns and colonize the Americas and Europe. Russia emerges as a European empire and seeks to liberate Europe from the Africans, while China is led by an ultranationalist that wants to expand into Russia for lebensraum.
Not suprised that this mod never came to be, as it was so outlandish that the worldbuilding would need much effort. The mod was also concieved by some guy who is well known for having good ideas for mods but never implementing them.
Oh dude, I remember that one! It actually looked kind of neat, with its premise being so novel. I think a spin like that could put African affairs in perspective. It’s hard for us to feel anything when we hear “Zaire vs Burundi,” but if it was like “weird kind-of West Francia country that used to be France attacks Flanders” westerners would have a frame of reference and understand.
I definitely knew the mod would never come out though LOL
I never really followed modding directly, I just look at what cool new mods are available on Steam and play them, so this was educational, is how I’ll put it. Looking forward to the finale. Peace ✌🏻
Why are they called "toozer"? Adam Tooze is a pretty respected economist who wrote a well regarded pop history book on the shambles of Nazi economic planning, and I doubt he would be caught dead playing an HoI ideology wank mod.
Toozer, derived from “teaser,” because all they do is post teasers showcasing upcoming content that will never actually get released. It’s an internet-ism where things get replaced with “oo,” like the “coomer” for perverts or “consoomer” for mindless consumers.
Do you think the tucker carlson mod would have a "Swaggers With Attitude" or "Meme Team" faction?
There is one mod out there that has an iFunny reference in it, and I bring it up in the next article.
Is it “The Fire Rises”? Ive seen a screenshot where Sab is apparently an advisor
Yes lmao
