Description
Whenever someone wants to start, join, or follows a HOI4 mod’s development, everyone has the hope that it’s going to be the next best thing. Every major and relevant minor has content, there are several different paths, there are super events all while being a completely fresh scenario, rather than something that’s already been done and already being enjoyed by others.
But because people have these expectations, it's very unlikely that a concept manages to achieve any sort of success, with the usual outcome being a lackluster release which is then quickly forgotten.
If this outcome is so common, how do projects like Kaiserreich, TNO and the Fire Rises manage to avoid this fate?
In this video, I will be outlining my experience working on several failed mods, and explain my “Loreigin story” as to why I take a single point of divergence approach to all of my timelines.
