The Best New Mod Pax Britannica: An Imperial Timeline | Hearts of Iron 4 | Alex the Rambler

Ойындар

Welcome back everyone to Hearts of Iron 4, today I'll be trying one of the best new mods - Pax Britannica: An Imperial Timeline. Set in an alternative history, mech units are now a thing and they are AMAZING - who knew HOI4 + mechs would be so fun.
Welcome to Pax Britannica: An Imperial Timeline, an alternate history science fiction mod for Hearts of Iron 4.
Taking place in the wake of a failed American Revolution, the mod focuses on the substantial changes this causes in world history, compounded by the success of Nikola Tesla's Wireless Power Concept. The Victorian Era has been flash frozen by this advancement, creating an anarchic mix of the Jazz Age, Wellsian science fiction and transhumanism. The world is both familiar and utterly alien, and the mod seeks to explore that universe and provide a unique style compared to other overhaul mods.

    I can also say with 100% certainty that there is a Romanian developer on the team as well, wanna know how? I saw another vid on the mod before this one and decided to try the mod out to see how the Balkan war might go as Romania, and realized upon starting the game that Romania actually has events tied to it, and a (currently non-functional) "Legionnary Coalition" button on the government screen, which is a lot more than what you'd expect at this stage of the mod. Oh and also there's almost certainly a brazilian dev too, since there's a whole collapsed Brazil situation at game start and you can reunify Brazil as multiple of the break-away states or reunify as the remnants of the Brazilian Empire itself.

    Imagine living in this timeline as France. You united your country, advanced into the Benelux and created it seems the most powerful alliance in the world. You satrted advancing into Germany together with Russia and your victory seems assured. You hear that the British have joined with the Germans but pay no attention as what can they do towards the powerful French army? I mean their ships can't go on land can they. Suddendly you hear reports of British troops landing in Cherbourg but think no more of it. Then you hear more reports of mechanized Death Machines who destroy everything in their way but are sceptical of their existence. A month later your country has suddendly fallen to the British and you are forced to return to your country who has fallen into complete chaos. You are now completely confused about what the hell just happened and right then you see them. The Death Machines, they march past you on their Biped legs and you just stand there and wonder, how these hilarious looking machines have done imesaurable destruction and will now be a burden to other armies of Europe. You laugh and months later you read in the newspaper that the Russians and Italians have been defeated.
