Player lead peace conferences is absolutely required imo.
Came here to say this, peace conferences are so awful lol
I choose to just use tool pack. That way you can have a proper representation if war score and just use toolpackto fix bordergore.
idk why but for me it only works 1/3 of the times
I just wish it was easier to have your allies puppet in player led peace conferences instead of just annexing
The toolpack is way easier to use
One mod I can never play without again is the modifier icons mod. It gives a specific icon to each type of buff and debuff. When given a giant wall of text, it can be sometimes hard to read out all the modifiers, but this makes it so much easier and it’s just a quality of life mod I can’t go without now. It’s also Ironman compatible.
Totally agree. After playing with it, I cannot go back.
It's criminal that this mod hasn't been integrated into the base game.
How are mods ironman compatible
5:50 damn he just flipped us off
AI : don't use Nukes
Also AI : nukes Stockholm
I'm still praying for a mod to give the intel agency a "no upgrade in progress" alert. Between that and the upgrade notification not taking you to the intel tab, it's like Paradox doesn't want us to use the agencies.
"Don't play hoi4 without these mods!"
Proceeds to list mods he plays hoi4 without
"Where is my favorite Nuclear Physycist and chief of nuclear program?
Where is Nuclear Nadal???"
- Admiral General Aladin of Wadiya
why is this quote wrong. It's literally "Where is the head of my nuclear program, and procurer of women."
@@Costenyo It's very Aladin isn't it?
@@teoman5936You mean it's very Aladin don't you?
I can do without that hotkey mod. I play every paradox game with just my mouse, spacebar & enter.
It's actually one of the many reasons i love paradox games. I really do not like having to memorize a billion hotkeys.
Same lol
I learn a few hotkeys but not many. EU4's hotkey V I dont think I could live without.
How do you halt your divisions?
@@antoniusxxo5687probably by right clicking the province they are standing on, but how they halt an entire army across a frontline is what i want to know
@@knife3730 Just press 'H' and it will halt everyone who has been selected
One problem with undeletable units is that if you annex a country like Italy, you get stuck with those units for the rest of the game because you can’t delete them
I guess you could send them on Leeroy Jenkins runs.
I usually run a mod that changes all your puppet’s map color to match your own.
why would you want this?
@@Ageust2 Why *wouldn't* you want this?
@@Ageust2 looks cool on the map
@@johnteixeira6405You play as Japan and defeats China and puppets Russia. Now a third of the map looks like its been splattered by cum.
@@Ageust2 Easier to tell what I actually control when I zoom out.
The only mod I really want back is the one that gives earlier start dates. As a casual player, I prefer the longer buildup. Sadly those mods are all outdated and broken at this point ._.
Yeah, it's a shame that there aren't more mods exploring earlier start dates; that said, Paradox fumbled the bag when it comes to this, '33 and '36 should have been the two vanilla options for start dates.
You could play a great war mod. Era of discovery or the dark age if you want to go farther back
Yesss i used to play The darkest hour mod all the time, it hasnt been updated in a while
00:00 The Beginning
11:35 The End
0 hours in vanilla. I'm playing hoi4 only with Equestria at war mod on.
don't sleep on kaiserreich, and old world blues, both are also pretty good with so much content and flavor
@@terribleplayer2526Rt56 is also pretty good. A bit overwhelming though.
OWB definitely looks better than most of the garbage Paradox has pushed out over the years.
Thanks, this is really helpful! Especially the puppet troop one. Another great mod is the coloured airforce mod which colours the icons of different plane types different colours (red for fighters, green for cas etc) which makes selecting them much quicker and easier. This only happens in the airforce map mode. I can't play without it anymore!
Expert AI is a must for single player if u want to fight competent Air/Tanks (otherwise, without it ur just boosting bad divisions). Toolpack is great for combining minors without destroying balance by turning them off, or creating scenarios that make your country of choice more fun/rivals more challenging.
Coloured Naval & Airbase icons add more flavour and makes it easier to see and categorise those parts of gameplay.
I’d love a Kaiserrich version of this video.
Ally’s railroad GFX is a game changer, lets you actually focus on railroads
I really like the mod with random country placements (mod should be in replies if youtube doesnt delete it)
Amazing content!!!!!!!
There's also mode called New Ways it's like road to 56 but it's more about focus trees try it out!
Puppet recourse is one of my favorites
I want to see you play Equestria at War. I think you'll have a blast.
I always use :
- More Divisions Icons (Fixed)
- Increased Experience Cap
+ Expert IA 5.0 when I play a major
+ France Expanded when I'm playing my country :3
I also have Player-Led Peace Conferences when dumb IA screws up my game, and Free Division Editing to experiment things ...
Colord buttons, more division icons, and various music mods
-Colored airforce
-Better airforce deployement
-More units levels
-Clear nuke number
-Better preset colors
-Linear XP gain
i always use toolpack to make somewhat reasonable peace conferences. no more random chunks of land inside another country, or 5 italys etc.
I use the toolpack without errors, I like it because it helps with the new wack ass peace deals, for some reason I can never give my puppets land so I just prefer to use it
Black Ice that is all needs to be said.
hot garbage mod
It's good for the historical detail and historical battalion options, but it suffers of being too centric on Germany and being kind of a wehraboo mod in some ways, without adequate alt historical support, which sucks when the AI fails to do something they did irl and it spirals onto an ahistorical playthrough.
I personally play with toolpack all the time, not to cheat, but rather a peace conference correcter. I'm a person that likes seeing what the AI does on their own when doing peace conferences, so I don't play with player-led, but I have toolpack in case the AI does some horrendous things to each other's borders.
its also fantastic for setting up different scenarios if you want something new, personal favorite of mine is to unify a bunch of smaller nations into larger entitites so there is far fewer but larger more capable nations in the world, and boy its interesting to see the African Union rising and taking the entire continent, or in Asia and SA where major powers rise up and how it just changes the entirety of the game.
For an alternative to road to 56 I use UTTNH Extended Timeline. The road for 56 wasn't for me as WW3 kept happening instead of entering the cold war as Germany and the Soviets tried to get turkey for themselves.
I like using Democratic Collab Governments. mostly because it allows non-aligned and democratic countries to use the collab government mission in the agency tab
I´d add "Topbar Resources" and "Resource Rights GUI"
First one pretty selfexplanatory you just see your current resources on the topbar and can adjust your trade super easy.
Second one is more like the toolpack one, on more then 1 occaison i lost resouce rights in puppet territory, so i felt the need to get this mod.
Do the mods require all DLCs activated? I'm more of a double shot vanilla latte player myself
i always use player conferences player lead because if not the bordergore is insane
And because the AI is a douchecanoe and will go out of its way to snatch stuff you want, just to be contrarian.
One tip for performance install process lasso its speeding up late game 1940 and later
Honestly my additions would be map modes (increases the map modes, from seeing all cores, ideologies, and more), and modifier icons, no need to read, and speeds things up
Also any performance mod, they're just good, same with state transfer tool
I love "make unhistorical actually playable. It's do just what it says. It let's you choose from all paths when setting unhistorical and make ai more competent in more complex paths
For single player: reduced cost for supply hubs. Makes stalemates due to logistics more bearable
FPS map for better fps and colors.
Vanilla Naval Rework mod to make navy more realistic/historical. As a navy enthousiast, I cannot play without. But it does make large changes.
played with historical naval production all the time, make navy much more fun and makes a lot more sense. change the production price and refit price and stuff, good to go with "refit" mod.
Like and Subscribe, best of them all
there is no mod for pre-choosing research and national focus...is there?
or for the agency operation?
I used to play with mods that change the icons of party, spy agency, some flags...
But now... I practicaly only play Kaiserreich xDDD It's just soo good. I wish Rt56 to be just like Kaiserreich, but in the normal timeline. The options, the focus trees, THE PEACE CONFERENCES, the political system with more than just 4 "ideologies", the division cap...
With the new DLCs, I even feel that the world of Kaiserreich is more consistent than the vanilla one...
Yes, I'm whatching you LATAM, Swiss, Ethiopian, Turkish... etc focus trees...
In vanilla you can only play, historical world, or schizo random world, where a baby runs an island in the Pacific, Turkey try to form basicaly a new Mongol Empire, or Switzerland take Austria and northem Italy just for free...
There is a mod "HOI4 if it was good" that prevents the UK from guaranteeing independence
Also small quality of life mods I use are:
colored puppets (your puppets match your color on the map)
Colored events
Show speed in construction view (shows your buffs for constuction)
I have a mod that adds some techs for buildings that produce resources like steel and tungsten because for some reason when the game hands you a small nation with no manpower or industry they also don’t give you resources most of the time and its its just a shitty situation. It makes countries like Afghanistan, Iran, sinkiang, and some South American nations, hell any minor nation, easier to build an economy
Really would be cool to have only the 56 focuses as a mod
Fps map its my favorite one
Expert AI is necessary for sp historical games imo
You forgot the most esential mod: Trilogy Radios
Don’t tell me what to do you’re not my dad!
Some of these might make the game actually fun. If I can get rid of the lag.
A mod i havent played without 200 hours is Ragnarok 1937.
expert AI? Feedback, I can't even beat the Germans as the USSR
dude just make fighters cas and infantry w some arty
You can literally beat Germany as the USSR making no mils and without doing any weapons research, with no air and without cheesing with armour slaves. You don't even need level 6 forts or higher. Just make mils, and make as many 16w inf divisions with AA as possible. 7 on anti air at the start of the game and any extra mils you get put on guns.
@@aaronfalcon3152 I'm a bad player. I couldn't hold them at moscow
@@kickassgreek Legit, go start up a game now. Just make a division which is 8 inf battalions and support AA. Queue up 100 or so, set to infinite deploy so that it will keep printing them out. Next just set 25 of your starting factories on guns and 7 on anti air. You should end up with like 300 divisions by barb. Without assigning generals, put them all in the same blob and either fall backline or frontline the axis when they declare war. Just build whatever you want the entire game, if you want to do forts, do that, but you should do enough to hold with that. any more factories? put them on guns/AA on that ratio. Lastly, don't try to attack back. Just try to hold and you'll be fine.
@@aaronfalcon3152 use FM lines? i find issues that the units just want to keep moving all across the line, keeping their org way down
Coring button for PP and FPS maps, also AI limiter wich nerfs all non WW2 figthing ai to reduce lag.
Dave is too stingy to pay 5 pp to delete he's undeletable divisions so he installed a whole mod for it. I love it.
I like my HOI like I like my ice cream... vanilla
cant believe you remember the spot mod lmao,also the spot mod died because the main dev quit hoi4
Do the framerate edit in the Notepad, it changes the FPS limit from 75hz to 144hz or 165hz or 244hz. The game is limited to 75 fps by default, 20 fps on 5x speed.
Ngl most of these mods are content-creator mods and probably not a lot of regular players are going to use these mods. Thanks for reminding me about Spot Optimization though!
I feel like I'm kinda getting bored or vanilla so I just started doing veterin with Ironman on lol
Ide like to do that to fix this broken ass game that I love for some reason but I’m addicted to getting the achievements
There are a few more I can suggest:
Better game performance - removes some countries which have no focustrees and rebalances the game around that
Modifier icons
No AI Spam - reduces late game lag by limiting how many divisions ai can make
player led peaceconferences
Show speed in construction view - absolutely essential
Colored railways
coloured buttons AAT
topbar - adds a factory count in the UI
Show Speed in Construction View!!!
Color Buttons
Modifier Icons
Colored Railways
Topbar Resources
Player lead peace conf
These are great ones too.
There was one mods one I can´t find any more.
and that mod this this.
when you design a place the game would at the end "manually" add a Global shortification of the plane.
Airframe: Inter-War Small. Role: Fighter. Main Armament: 2x Light Machine Gun
so when you see Ki-10(Japan) or He 51(Germany) it would add after the name F0 (Fighter interwar) example Ki-10 (F0)
if the Ki-10 in its secondary slot also had CAS weapons like bomb locks it would change it to.
KI-10 (FC0) 0 = interwar.
1936 =1 and so on.
Jet I think had like 5 and 6.
But it was more so that you did not need to look at the blue print to understand what the plane was for
it only took the airframe, carrier, small, medium, large.
the level interwar, 1936, 1940, 1944, jet 1 and jet 2 (1944 whit jet engine was I think missing).
it took the main armament and secondary (only counted each role ones so sticking 3 MG on it and a something that did cas and also air did not cause it to have 4 F in it).
for all nations so you had a ide of what an aircraft was supposed to be doing whit out having to look it up on wikipedia plus if you had like 5 different aircraft you sort of knew what they all did.
and a general older airframe is worse (that said if you had inter war airframes whit Heavy MG and 1936 whit 1 light MG it would not tell).
and this was for all aircraft from start to any that was made/designed later.
Me doing only achievements in singleplayer : Nope thanks 💀💀💀
u can use SOO optimization instead of Spot
Yea I have it too but does it actually make a differemce now? Dave said in the video that the hoi4 devs have incorporated these things into the main game...
@@KokenyRichard My friends mades the mod and it changes a lot. it is not really important what it does on screen but it helps to lower the errors(which causes game to slow) u can see it on Debug mode.
i cant even beat the normal AI how am i supposed to play with expert AI 💀
Colored railways. So I can see where my supply bottlenecks are.
Historical German Flag. I don't believe in censorship.
Catland. Lets you play as a cat leader of Luxembourg and take over the world.
Country Roulette. So I can play a random country during the game I don't get to pick what country.
USA States Redux. Every state in the USA is it's own country. Things can get very interesting.
There is a better "toolpack" called "toolpack without errors" and it even has equipment, tanks and soon planes that you can easily use instead of having to do commands
Radiant Flags: Historical and Realistic. the flags in HOI4 are sooooooooo bad, and this mod saves my eyes from it. a must have.
Don't play without Black Ice.
I'm 1000 hours in and not a single achievement lol.
like mods
No mention of fps map? Okay... I guess it's a 3rd world pc problem things. Also would be helpful if you're also mention mods that are compatible with iron man.
mods that change the game itself arnt ironman, only gfx stuff
I play without mods to get achievements
isnt Road to 56 RP what u want?
fps map... player peace conferences...
Bro isnt running the latest unofficial toolpack
I always use the mod called Konzentrationslager. It adds very much needed flavor to the game.
Expert ai is dogshit. It just gives the ai bonuses
by default, it does not give the AI bonuses
Feedback, you're playset looks horrific, please make a video cleaning it up to rectify this issue; thanks.
Who are you
You are playset??
You are playset look horrific
No Italian Civil War is a must mod
Dave will you vote for Farage the Barrage
First
Thank you but one mod is enough
The Historical German Flag :)
This dude begs for Likes and doesn't even Like the No undeletable mod he praises... ^^
Coloured buttons
