I wouldn't say its all that chuddy. The china paths in particular are basically
I played the top two paths and they were fun. There is also a pretty underdeveloped path for Russia becoming USSR again which was alright.
Last, there is an America civil war between biden/trump which is fun, with a couple ML paths in there as well, underdeveloped currently.
I agree too, it's fun to play if you consider the chuddy paths (especially the Gunther EU one the TFR subreddit has been cheering about) to be completely batshit insane and only an obstacle to world socialism. I'd say it's an overreaction, and a shame because I posted my HOI4 TFR China game here, got to larp a lot during so, and overall, I'm saddened by the situation, since now the China development will be unknown in how it develops, especially since I wanted them to develop a super ML China that you don't have to lose the Taiwan War for..
I'd say it has it's liberal and chud elements (especially in regards to the American Civil War and how they portray the MLs, compared to the main two Trumpist/Biden-aligned factions) but can overall be fun as a communist to play.
Though, yeah I'm curious why the PRC TFR devs withdrawed.. Maybe because of the whole Gunther Fehlinger (WEF-aligned ultralib) pretty much streaming and endorsing TFR while the devs are amicable? The detention doesn't seem to be confirmed just yet..
Hey, don't sell our favorite balkanization enthusiast short like that.
I don't know dick about these confounded map games or this mod but this seems like a pretty wild overreaction by the authorities
Unfortunately the American leftist paths kinda suck compared to China, Yurop or the neo-USSR.
You have:
Neosocialists: DemSocs trying to “reform” a system they literally just fought a war to tear down.
Octoberists: MLs who are largely portrayed positively but implement a sinister commie party-state with surveillance and censorship, and also SwCC even in games where China abandons it because why the fuck not. Content is most lackluster of the four.
Anarchists: A Chud’s idea of Anarchism.
Jacobins: PatSocs and all that entails.
In terms of ForPol, aside from a few focuses, you more or less just sit on your ass and do very little aside from sending a handful of volunteers here and there. You can’t even join the USSR’s neo-Warsaw Pact or intervene in the Great Asian War in support of China (even Kaiserreich lets Red America join the Third Internationale and bash some skulls and that mod is almost a decade old).
I recall the APLA paths are at least being reworked at some point but when that actually happens is anyone’s guess.
