Cheers! Running Maia now, some of the 'rehab' events are just absolutely top tier. The Immortal sent me, haha.

Thanks again for all your hard work, eager to try out the other paths too.
Eis  [author] 19 Jul @ 3:25pm 
@Phatts Not really. Best I could say is the revolt scenarios are technically secret and have focus trees, but they're not fully formed or all that interesting.

@Mr Zoat The AI is generally very stupid in HOI4, unless you coach it to be better, which I have only loosely tried to do. I don't even really know what I could do to make the AI beat Lonetree consistently without making the Calm Asylum unreasonably powerful.

Everyone has a different experience too. One player posted a playthrough on Reddit where Maia conquered half the OWB world before they fought them.
Mr Zoat 19 Jul @ 11:09am 
The SI seems unable to beat Lonetree. Any idea why?
Phatts 18 Jul @ 9:41pm 
Holy shit, what a mod~! Top tier writing, and the 'politics' management plus the multiple different paths have had me playing and replaying this nation over and over again. Thank you so much for the time and effort put into this mod, kudos all around!

A quick question, are there any 'secret' paths hidden in the mod? :winter2019happyyul:
Mr Zoat 9 Jun @ 4:32am 
Okay, so I thought that I'd do a Cedric playthrough to see what had changed, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth to play as an evil character that I then did a Julian playthrough... And then I noticed that Valerie could get Sophisticated Power Armour and Implant Technology. So I did a third playthrough. There are no nations with branching paths in the base mod where I've done that. The writing on this is very good.

The only bad part about this submod is the pacing. Party, that's the Legion losing the California so quickly these days, but in my playthroughs Far Son died before I could meaningfully attack them, Ouroboros look years and by the time I won the Legion was already dead. By the time I got to the bottom part of the tree someone had already unified most of Canada. Not really sure what could fix that.
Mr Zoat 6 Jun @ 3:20pm 
Ah, found a bug. If you conquer the Sleepers and Ouroboros has conquered The Old Bones, then try to pursue peace with Hecate from the focus The Splitting of the Moon while at war with her, the focus Luna Trauma automatically bypasses. I suspect it was only supposed to bypass if you had agreed actual peace.
Mr Zoat 6 Jun @ 1:53am 
'Mortal America'. Hah!
Siren System 27 May @ 4:20pm 
I do still wonder who runs Canada in that path though... and how the family reunion goes... an... shit I might just need to do a badguy play-through. CURSE YOU FOR MAKING TONS OF INTERESTING CONTENT!
Siren System 27 May @ 4:18pm 
It's updated! Time to revolution again (I refuse to help a ruthless capitalist or support the "Nuclear Family")

@Eis by sometimes i mean like two time :steammocking: after i taken the event to give territo after the war but in peace deals i take territory, i will not get force to give up after.

But other then that Great mod, one of my favorite owb mods. :steamhappy:
Eis  [author] 26 May @ 6:21pm 
@Douchebaguette (Tom) Er, sometimes? Like not always?

Not sure what the problem would be. Tested the event and I know it works, so if there's circumstances it doesn't work under, I can't really know what they'd be.
Douchebaguette (Tom) 26 May @ 5:59pm 
@Eis Thank you. also idk it are meant but if you do help them and give the terriroy to them after the war like it does with the other wars sometimes they dont take it after the war.
Eis  [author] 26 May @ 5:52pm 
@Douchebaguette (Tom) Well I had it set up to add a country flag that bypasses the focus, but I just saw I might have neglected to add it in the case of them asking you to assist with The Old Bones, so that might be what happened to you, I guess?

I'll patch it.
Douchebaguette (Tom) 26 May @ 4:33pm 
so if you take pace with Ouroboros (event a split personality) you are just locked out of the tree? because then you cant do *Lunar Trauma* and then cant do *Tying it all together*???
Rent-A-Boom 22 May @ 4:49am 
Great writing and gameplay.
Eis  [author] 18 May @ 1:41pm 
@Commander_Ace Maia and Cedric, but none of the other routes, sorry.

@RedDustDra Kind of, sort of, eventually. I am very tired and the dev team still has a mountain of work to do themselves. And I am one of them!
Commander_Ace 18 May @ 10:52am 
I was wondering something about the update. is the: Rebuild the great works and sites of America! Refurbish ancient monuments like Mount Rushmore or pre-war marvels like the Tibbets Penitentiary just for Maia or is it for any other leader as well?
RedDustDra 18 May @ 5:58am 
This is top tier content for OWB. Is it still planned to have it integrated?
Billygoat 17 May @ 4:18pm 
Hey, I just wanted to say the mod is incredible. I've always thought OWB was a bit lacking in the depth and amount of writing for nations, and this scratches that itch perfectly. Great work!
zezia 11 May @ 10:34am 
@Eis Fair enough
Eis  [author] 10 May @ 2:36pm 
@zezia Valerie's take on "liberating oppressed people" is not so much autonomies like Julian does, but more removing what she perceives as unjust governments.

She has always been an aggressive and headstrong person, the type to assume they'll be better off under her new state. Whether that's true or not is a matter of opinion, and on her better path there's a case to be made. But when she does something like, defeating Standing Rock, her instinct is to administer the lands herself rather than try to invite old governments back and let them handle it.

Besides, if I had Julian and Valerie handle these things the exact same way, there'd be little difference between their paths gameplay, wouldn't there?
zezia 10 May @ 10:49am 
I am very interested in what you add to take into account for the new update.

I do have a question regarding Valerie's path. She is about liberating the oppressed people of the Wasteland but unlike Julian's path that doesn't happen.

A example. Standing Rock. In Julian's path you can get the nations that were annexed by Standing Rock to be released but in Valerie's path that doesn't happen. It just becomes new territory. Why is that?

This mod was one of the best OWB experiences ever, 11/10.
Hero for Fun 16 Mar @ 3:50pm 
10/10 Would C O R R E C T citizens again
Eis  [author] 8 Mar @ 3:53am 
@
💖⎛⎝Silver Knight⎠⎞ Not *yet*, no.

5.1 has been a hectic piece of development and I wanted to wait until after it to see about getting this integrated.

I'll also be releasing a content update for 5.1, since it concerns most of the Asylum's immediate neighbours.
Sad that this has not been integrated into the main mod yet
Magi 19 Feb @ 4:10pm 
I have never before been bamboozled by a mission tree well done
jenmcc 8 Dec, 2024 @ 12:20am 
Amazing mod One of my favorite would love to see more like this mod
HereticKannon 16 Nov, 2024 @ 10:17am 
This is an incredible mod, thanks for all of your hard work.

Mindfr3k24 28 Oct, 2024 @ 7:04pm 
On the official OWB? Ill send it as soon as I can.
Eis  [author] 28 Oct, 2024 @ 7:02pm 
@Mindfr3k24 Hmm, well, that's not a file my mod messes with. Far as I can tell that's something from the base mod, so I don't know if it's what's causing your crash.

It's gonna be hard to know what caused your crash honestly. Maybe if you sent me your error log on Discord? I'm Skellie there, with Mini Maia as my pfp.
Mindfr3k24 28 Oct, 2024 @ 5:59pm 
This is what it says at the end? [12:56:29][2276.03.18.02][trigger.cpp:432]: common/decisions/caps_base_decisions.txt:232: resistance: Invalid Scope, supported: State, provided: Country
Eis  [author] 28 Oct, 2024 @ 5:40pm 
@Mindfr3k24 The file titled "error.log" within your logs folder, the last thing in that file before your game crashed. That's what we're looking for.
Mindfr3k24 28 Oct, 2024 @ 1:56pm 
I'm not sure which I should check to see that.
Eis  [author] 26 Oct, 2024 @ 4:49pm 
@Mindfr3k24 What is the last thing it says before the crash?
Mindfr3k24 26 Oct, 2024 @ 3:05pm 
It shows it quite a bit in the error log.
Mindfr3k24 26 Oct, 2024 @ 3:05pm 
It may be an issue with better Ideologies?
Eis  [author] 26 Oct, 2024 @ 1:49pm 
@Mindfr3k24 Well there's not a lot I can do about that without more information.

Are you running any other submods? Have you looked at your error.log?
Mindfr3k24 26 Oct, 2024 @ 10:58am 
I'm having crashes on February and March 2076, I'm not sure why.
Olaf Ivarson 14 Oct, 2024 @ 12:05pm 
One of my favorite OWB submods!
Will it be upgraded to the current version?
Pillowesque 13 Oct, 2024 @ 2:53pm 
Wow this is amazing
CornualSquid16 3 Oct, 2024 @ 12:44pm 
Amazing mod, keep up the good work.
Ass Blaster Master 3 Oct, 2024 @ 12:49am 
im gonna try to remove and resub to your mod
Eis  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 11:08pm 
@Ass Blaster Master Mid-game? Like you were playing normally and it changed?

Are you running any other mods? Things that might introduce stuff to change a focus tree? I know some have decisions that can load the generic settler one.
Ass Blaster Master 2 Oct, 2024 @ 10:43pm 
it just kinda changed on me
Eis  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
@Ass Blaster Master Well that's an odd one. What focus were you doing when it happened, do you recall? Or did you just reload a save and find it changed?
Ass Blaster Master 2 Oct, 2024 @ 9:54pm 
so uhhh what do i do if the mod broke and the focus tree is now a generic settlers one
