This helps divide the map, play as a more obscure nation, or simply change history exactly how you want to. It makes sense to be able to create new nations within the decisions tab in future - but that will take a complete restart.Ī mod consisting of numerous countries - historical or otherwise plausible - that can be released and formed. I think the future of this kind of mod lies in my other, 'Formable Nations' which makes sense for me to continue. New 'state' files change other ones (like Afar).

Paradox does not make it easy for me to keep up with what exactly has been changed. So, enter Custom Game Rules.IMPORTANT: With further changes/rebalances from paradox, it effects 'state' files I use in this mod. So looking at all of these things we decided that we needed to support different rulesets and let players affect how the ai did things in more detail. For example some will use console commands to switch nations to set them on certain paths to match their long term plans for the scenario they want to play out etc, but it’s not exactly beginner-friendly, and isn’t possible to do in multiplayer either. When it comes to single player, players often ask for ways to tailor how they play. I personally think a big reason competitive multiplayer isn’t as common (about 6% of MP games are competitive) is because it’s so much harder to set them up when they require reading rulesets, which become fragile when the game itself isn’t enforcing them.

A lot of stuff that adds fun and a sense of power in singleplayer are not very balanced for organized competitive multiplayer so organizing these games can be challenging, often including long rulesets and policing by the server host. There is also a big split between people who play “historically” vs people who don’t (it’s around 50/50).

Single player, multiplayer, achievement runs, casual relaxing and various other. Today we are going to be talking about something we have been thinking about adding for a really long time: Custom Gameplay Rules.įirst off, let me explain why we are doing this - HOI4 is a game people play in a lot of different ways. Hi everyone! Most of the team is now back after summer so it’s time to spin up the ‘ol diary machine again.
