The world war is something to be avoided at all costs in TNO, and a conventional war between the big three will be nothing besides an exercise in delaying the inevitable. More so, we are working in a game built around a fast build up to an inevitable conventional war, which is not what TNO is about. This means that we are working in a game built around, in its core design, around 8 years of gameplay, and that's stretching it. Hearts of Iron IV, despite all our hopes and desires, is not Victoria 2 ( which the mod was originally made for, see our first Development Diary about leaving Victoria 2) and it is, thankfully, not Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, March of the Eagles, or Svea Rike, which would be much harder to adapt the setting to (see our future diary about our difficulties in porting TNO over to Svea Rike 2, the superior game). So some of the most commonly asked questions we receive is based around how, exactly, we expect to do this mod.

When describing the art to Matheus, I imagined the situation as Bormann having attacked the city, and the other three rushing in to try and claim it for themselves. You can find the massive and full HD version here for those of you who want some new TNO wallpaper.įor fans of TNO I think the image is a bit self explanatory, for those not quite up to date, it shows Speer's 'liberal' supporters attacking Germania, the capital of the Reich being controlled by General Speidel, during the German Civil War. Today we’re going to go over some difficulties in adapting a Cold War modification into Hearts of Iron IV and one of the many ‘flashpoints’ in the mod that makes things interesting and brings the global powers that much closer to nuclear annihilation.īut first, I’d like to share a new piece of artwork for the mod by the very, very talented Matheus Graef! Welcome to another Development Update to bridge the gap between now (which is whenever you’re reading this diary if it’s before Cornflakes drops) and the release of Cornflakes (which will allow us to resume dev diaries as per normal).
