Propaganda Campaigns

Propaganda Campaigns - The Pre-"No Step Back" Original

Propaganda was and still is a powerful tool when it comes to rallying people for a war. World War II especially saw massive propaganda campaigns by all participants, some of which still hold their influence to this day. Unfortunately, HOI4 pays little to no attention to this topic except for one or two useless decisions that you never use anyway. So let's change that, shall we?

This mod adds a completely new propganda system to the game. Complete decisions and create departments for your information agency to earn Propaganda Tokens that can then be used to launch powerful propaganda campaigns. These campaigns not only give you an advantage over your enemies, but are also displayed in the game in the form of real posters from the second world war. (Read the disclaimer at the bottom)

Features:

• 1 new Ressource "Propaganda Tokens"
  
• 48 new Propaganda Posters
  
• 15 new Propaganda Leaflets
  
• 5 included Nations*
  
• 1 new Operation
  
• New Events
  
• Working AI Behavior

The main focus of this mod is to add new peace-time mechanics which extend the base game in a meaningful way, while still maintaining the original game flow.

* Included are Germany, Soviet Union, United Kingdom and France (incl. Vichy France)
** Check out these two submods to add United States/Japan and Italy (by 1230james)

Current version: 0.9.0 [Development Paused]

I have worked hard to ensure that most of the planned features are fully implemented. Although development of the mod has been paused, it is completely playable for all included nations listed above and will continue to be updated to the latest versions of HOI4 if needed.

Please make sure to report any bugs or balancing issues in "Bugs / Balancing".

Compatible with: Road to 56, Kaiserreich, The Great War, Calm Before the Storm*

* Check the change notes for a complete list of compatible major mods
** Please note that I will not create any custom posters / features for these mods

This mod should be compatible with most other mods as it does not modify any base game files. However, I cannot guarantee that there will be no conflicts one hundred percent of the time. Also, for obvious reasons, I cannot ensure proper balancing or immersion regarding the campaigns in other mods.

This mod was designed in a way that anyone can easily add new propaganda campaigns to the game. You can find a tutorial and all necessary documents in this Guide. Don't forget to shamelessly promote your submod in the discussion "Your Mod Spotlight"

I want to thank IndelibleGlacier, [TGC] SwissPidi, s-someer♥, AiH and Lazuli for helping me translate the mod into different languages, as well as SpatialX for helping me with the posters for France. Keep up the good work guys!
