      Because Bronies are a special breed of dedicated. The world the show crafted was that engaging, and the fans feel an unusual comraderie due to the oppression felt for liking a TV show. And with the world expansion during the last season? Knowing what I know of the show (my BiL was the half finished Celestia fursuit meme, guess what family gatherings were about so I had to stay on the up and up...) Most of this mod was simply plug in the puns and pictures; anyone who knows the lore knows about 90% of this is ripped from the show (including Stalliongrad... that was an actual reference during a Los Pegasus travel sequence iirc).
      The anime fights made it almost worth it. Almost. Nothing quite like rainbow death lasers from fashionista and party cartoon horse things.

    Its funny because all of this is pretty accurate to the show which addresses Equestria as a big allegory for the geopolitical and social issues that humanity has faced over the years. The Changelings are racial hierarchists, the dangers of extreme equalism in Our Town, the Buffalo being native Americans who are repressed and in conflict with the Western cowponies, the Griffons being isolationist xenophobes, the dragons trying to overcome their greedy and sadistic culture which ostracized the kind and generous, a literal god of chaos voiced by the same guy who played Q on Star Trek, etc. As much as MLP was about the simple issues of being a good person like kindness, respect, responsibility, etc. it was also discussing many adult themes and issues like genocide, slavery, racism, xenophobia, classism, and authoritarianism.

    I'm surprised the Crystal Empire is that far south. Like I thought the reason it was snowy and icy outside the shields all the time was because it wasn't just at the North end of Equestria, but up in the Artic Zone. Like Alaska or something. But here' we've got a half dozen places further north just on the same continent. Although I guess Pinkie did have to go through the Crystal Empire to hit Yakyakistan, so there's at least one country canonically north of the Crystal Empire. :D

One even gets to execute one of the original characters from the show that is acting queen of the Crystal Empire. After Sombra comes in, the country is renamed into an even cooler name. And a choice eventually comes up with a choice to marry one of the other leaders, one of which is the leader stakuyi is playing in this episode.

  • @Ushiokoroni
    @Ushiokoroni Рік тому +5

    Never watched the show and probably never will be, but i just love this mod.
    It is one if not the best total conversion mod for HoI.
    Gameplay wise there are new techs, new unit's and so many detailed focus trees that can let you go so many different ways in so many different nations.
    And there is so much lore that mostly has been created from the ground up by the devs, you can either ignore it or read up on huge history and curent events.
    My favourite part is tough that you can do your own thing and not just get dragged in to just one big world war like vanilla thanks to one nice thing that the mod does different.
    The create/joined faction mechanics are turned off by default, tough can be changed still in the menu btw. But what that does is that you can only create and join factions through focuses, events and descisions and you wouldn't believe how great it is that you can just do your own thing without having to worry that you are draged in to a big war all of a sudden.
    All in all this is my favourite way to play HoI by now, i have played so many games alone and with friends so far and im still far from having played all the different nations and directions.
    And the devs just keep on adding more and more.

    I can explain the Everfree Forest. You see, years ago there was this god of chaos and disharmony called Discord. He is a draconequus, basically a chimera. There was a point in time when he took control of Equestria and ruled with chaos. During his control he ridiculed the lands and puppeteered Celestia and Luna. Eventually the princesses had enough and encased him into a block of stone to be imprisoned until years later where he was reformed by the kindest pony Fluttershy. Right before he was captured and encased in stone he was seen eating a bag of seeds. These seeds were thrown about an already grown forest filled with magical beings such as mimic crocodiles and timberwolves and planted themselves into the ground to become the Everfree Forest. Created by his chaotic magic, these plants and vines grown from these seeds became sentient and living, with the goal of taking over Equestria since the stoning of Discord. Now, inside the forest is a tree called the Tree of Harmony. This was grown by a single seed filled with magic and hope of a better world. This tree grew up near the Castle of the Two Sisters which was the old home of Celestia and Luna. This seed was planted when the original protectors or the land, called the Pillars, had to sacrifice themselves to time and space to hold a pony of shadows called Stygian. Stygian was the original creator of the Pillars but eventually grew mad after being forced out of the group after the group thought that he only wanted to steal their ideologies. This Tree of Harmony had a powerful magic that became the Elements of Harmony, which were eventually controlled by the mane six. (Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Apple Jack). What most likely happened is after the lands were taken over by the changeling hive, the tree of harmony realized that something was wrong and had seen that the Elements of Harmony failed to protect the lands from the changelings. With the Elements of Harmony now gone, the magic to control the Everfree Forest ended up dissipating and allowed the forest to grow. You were sending in changelings to fight living trees and vines, and other dark creatures that don't care about your guns and war tactics.

    I love that they made focus trees based on all the alternate dark futures from the time-travel episodes.😊

    Ya know, this is pretty much all lore friendly. And yes, that would be lore friendly for a TV show aimed at little girls. For as much glitter and sparkles that show had, it also showed everyone getting their hooves dirty in war, betrayal, mind control, politics, strange political relationships (cough Fluttershy and Discord cough), fascism, stereotypes and legit racism, monarchy vs democracy, curses, and tons of DBZ lasers and fights and nightmare fuel... all powered by the magic of friendship. Oh, and the exploding top half glass of chocolate milk or Rarity in denim. For a TV show it certainly was ahead of it's time, and gave the franchise a dose of actual feminism and equality, not the man hating misandrists we see today (seriously, one scene famously showed a husband javelining his exhausted wife into the BBEG, while another husband changed diapers _with his mouth_ as the wife prepped for the journey. It was actual supporting each other, not a battle of the sexes.)

      I think I might need to watch this show now. What the hell? I'm old enough to watch porn, but I want to see what happens in a show aimed at little girls. What is happening?

    Hi Stakuyi, I have a challenge. Take advantage of Fascist percent to expand as the US and still be democratic. Basically be at 30% fascism to get to the war goals area and expand. Then once you've expanded enough, ban fascism and head towards the giant awakens.

    As an Equestria at War dev, I would recommend playing Hellquill if you enjoy genocide so much, specifically the "Reformisten" path.
    As for countries that you should stay away from, please do not play Stalliongrad or the Dread League. Both of these countries are exceedingly outdated and of poor quality, and do not reflect the high standards we set for ourselves in our newer countries.
