This will get released first than Grimoire, that I can assure you.

What's the situation in Iberia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and the Near East?

Here a hint:

W6KM4vT.jpg


I have not yet decided about the general situation in Balkans.

All of Iberia south of the Ebro river but Gibraltar is controlled by a stereotypical Caliphate of Iberia that dreams of conquering all of Europe and spreading the religion of peace to its remnants. Most of it was depopulated. Same on Southern Italy split between a Gaddafi style dictatorship in Sicily and the Republic of Naples which emerged as a sort of not completely successful "Arab Spring" against the King of Kings of Sicily. Naples is the only secular Berber country in the post-ITZ world. Papal Rome controls a strip of land in Central Italy between the Imperium and Naples and the Church returned to the old days of "unremitting defense of Western Civilization" instead of Vatican II.

As for Southern France, that screenshot explains it, and Coptic Marseille also is one of the first possible roads of expansion through conquest for the Imperium. I thought that making everything that arrived from North Africa stereotypical would be too banal, thus only Iberia is the stereotypical Andhaira faction, and with over 60 IC, they are a serious threat to CNT-FAI, Lisbon Commune, the Minarchist(and obviously 'thal) Basque Republic and the Kingdom of Galicia, to the point the existence of Iberia forced them into setting aside their ideological and political differences and even consider a possible alliance(by events once this gets done).

Also the Templars will have an unique decision involving the launch of a crusade to retake Sicily, but only if they reform into an actual post-apoc Knightly Order rather than the Sicilian Mafia dressed up as Knights Templar they are in the beginning of the scenario.

As for Gibraltar, it, like Ibiza and Malta, is controlled by a strange faction. Here some in-game quotes about it:

"Try your luck at Le Grand Casino de Monte Carlo! Your safety Guaranteed by Knights Hospitaller! We accept Denarii, Bayernmarks, Euros, Templar banknotes and Pesetas!"
--Banner on the cratered road to Monte Carlo, Monaco

"The rebirth of gambling is recent, but vices always return faster than the best things of civilization. It's unclear how Monaco survived the War and how the Knights Hospitaller took control of it."
--Chronicles of a Nomadic Berliner

*Edit:

Iberia and Sicily are "Warlord Property", Marseille is a Post-War Republic and Naples is an Elective Kleptocracy(something similar to most RL thirdworldia "democracies")

PS: The three "main" alliances are the Democratic Union, led by the New Bavaria Republic, the Imperial Pact, led by the Imperium and the Mars Accord, led by the Brotherhood of Iron.

And of course, Juche Eurasia is the fourth main "alliance"

Just noticed the name of your mod and have to ask what you want to say there. Faden means thread only in the context of sewing, so you'd better use something else. I'd gladly help you there. Furthermore, 'Postnukleares Europa' would be gramatically correct.

Will wait and see if you can beat Grimoire, looks good so far!

I think I'll stick to the fake German in this one.

As for the Finnic Commonwealth, it is not as powerful as its size hints. The big orange thing in the east of the map is called the Rad Frontier because it was the most heavily nuked front line of WW4 and became a near impenetrable radioactive barrier between Europe and Asia.

Until BEST EURASIA comes in through the Rad Frontier with the full might of Juche

*Edit: Descriptions of the other factions in the first screenshot. Some may be a lot less interesting than the first eight ones I did in this, I know.

As the closest NATO country to the Soviet Union, Turkey was one of the primary locations for allied nuclear armaments, but such deterrence failed in the onset of the massive Fourth World War, and Anatolia was annihilated by the barrages of Soviet nukes, rendered virtually uninhabitable, forcing the Turkish people in a long exodus to the west, and also allowing, due to the despair, for long discredited ideologies to resurface. A strange hybrid of Ottomanism with hardline Stalinism became the dominant power in the Turkish settlements across the lifeless ruins of Bulgaria and much of the Southern Balkans, and a rapid slide into totalitarianism crushed mercilessly all resistance to the police State, now yearning to become a red Ottoman Empire and achieve the ambitions the failed Siege of Vienna in the 17th Century crushed.


The Megali idea, once forgotten, was partially successful after the chaos of the Third World War. Germany was forced to resort to a nuclear attack against Thessaly to defeat Soviet and Greek communist forces and pave the way for the reunification of Greece. Eurocorp offered Eastern Thrace and the West coast of Asia Minor to Greece, but the latter would quickly fall apart due to Turkish revolts, while a mass evacuation and resettlement of millions of Greeks to Constantinople because of a dubious zone of alienation established in Thessaly and most of Greece secured Constantinople, which was one of the reasons Turkey joined NATO. With the now friendly Federal Republic of Germany and the unique economic model of Eurocorp, Greece was prospering, until all ended in the year of the nuclear apocalypse, 1970. Constantinople was directly hit, and the birthplace of democracy, Athens, was ravaged as well, its ruins reduced to craters and glass and the modern city of Athens reduced to ruins. Despite the insurmountable tragedy, the Greek government endured and survived the apocalypse as a rump state. However, from waves of refugees of the Anatolian wasteland under a red iron grip, a new threat emerged.


The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was restored after NATO defeated the Comintern forces in the region during the first years of the Third World War, and during the second interwar, Yugoslavia prospered, while a more tolerant policy to the many nations within mended the wounds of the second world war and kept separatist fervor almost forgotten. All changed with the end of the world in 1970, and most of Yugoslavia was devastated by the barrages of ICBMs. Remnants of Serbia survived the devastation, but crime quickly replaced the rule of law, and those at the wrong end of such grim, dog eats dog world, end literally eaten by the flesh enjoying pets of the current godfather of the Serbian Mafia. The Mafia's hegemony and any notions of sovereignty in the remnants of Serbia are at stake, however, because of the rise of a nightmare that combines Communism and Ottomanism in the once depopulated southern Balkans.

It was in Sarajevo that the first of four wars which together brought mankind to near-extinction was provoked. One of the relatively few Soviet nukes targeted against the former NATO-aligned Kingdom of Yugoslavia fell there, and Bosnia was almost wiped out in the nuclear apocalypse. What remained ended stabilizing itself as the Republic of Bosnia, after some early years of chaos and anomie. While resilient and determined to overcome the challenges of the post-nuclear world, the people of Bosnia are affected by endemic corruption and threatened by the Serbian Mafia, by the Croatian and Slovene technocracy of Yugoslavia and by the Turkish Bolsheviks who settled much of the previously ghost towns and ruins of the southern Balkans.

The ideal of an united State of all southern Slavic peoples endured through most of the 20th century after the Great War, but it quickly collapsed under the nuclear devastation of the Fourth World War, which did not spare it, for Yugoslavia was then a member of NATO. Most of the Balkans became either depopulated or lawless, and only in Slovenia and Croatia the former Yugoslavia survived, in a manner. The kingdom was gone, and in time the fledgling State would develop itself into a technocratic order, with increasingly planned economics inspired by the pre-war Eurocorp model focused on meritocracy rather than equality. In 2039, the last remnants of the old Yugoslavia, now dramatically changed, is ready to restore order to the hives of crime and corruption further south, yet this will be a challenging goal, and the coastal portions of Croatia and Yugoslavia subjugated by the immoral, unethical, short term near-sighted Republic of Venice are another problem any plans of reuniting the now Croatian-centric Yugoslavia will have to overcome.

In the first months of the Third World War Eurocorp and NATO fought against the Soviet Union, Bucharest and Ploesti were directly hit by ICBMs of the United States, but that massive tragedy was only the beginning. After the Soviet's Bitter Peace, the Kingdom of Romania was restored and the country was recovering with a new oil boom their ties with the Eurocorp ensued. In 1970, things were going well for the country, until WW4 happened, and something far worse than the atomic bombings of WW3 almost wiped out the Romanian people. Very little survived, and after being nuked multiple times in two world wars, Bucharest and most of South Romania became godforsaken no man's lands until the mid 2030s, while crime rapidly overtook the remnants of the country. The situation only changed when a mysterious paramilitary group which claimed descent from the Order of the Dragon, associated with the infamous Romanian national hero, Vlad Tepes, restored order to the dying and battered nation through a form of frontier justice not unlike that employed by the Lord Impaler, and perhaps, considering the threat they face to the south, terror may be justified.

The city of Venice survived the fall of the Roman Empire and the nuclear fall of Italy. However, it suffered a lot more with the latter: over ninety percent of her population died in the 1970s and much of the city was razed by the atom. All the charm of Venice perished quickly, but its location and relative safety allowed it to flourish once again as a trading power providing valuable and cheap resources to newly born and reborn communities through the 21st Century. Ruthless and plutocratic, the new Venice has no ethical limits on what or who can be traded.

It is said that the Soviet Eurasia feared the German research into Artificial Intelligence more than all German nuclear weapons, and the quantity of nuclear warheads detonated in the region where most of such research happened during the Fourth World War certainly showed it. Unfortunately Prague was heavily targeted as well, and the Czechs were almost wiped out, most of their country turned so radioactive it could never be inhabited again for many lifetimes. Only in Moravia some remnant of the old country survived, but it was a harsh existence to live so close to the infamous Glow. Many moral boundaries were broken by the last remaining Czechs for the sake of survival. While it retains the same Constitution and political structure from former Czechoslovakia, the Moravian Dayglow is much more corrupt and nihilistic.

When the world ends, things can get very strange quickly. No greater example of that exists than Chernoslovakia, a strange tyranny formed after the nuclear apocalypse of 1970, whose rulers fear no god but Chernobog, a long forgotten demon in old Slavic folklore. How such cult took over the entirety of Slovakia is a mystery, for a dark curtain was shrouded across the country ever since the Cult of Chernobog forged their order out of chaos. What is known is that Dark Slovakia is even more bleak than the Dayglow, for it is a place where most lost their faith in mankind and the future, a place where might makes right, and there are signs they are amassing a large military.

For those few who still had expectations, I have bad news:

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/steam-is-charging-for-mods-now-lmao.98728/

While it's very unlikely Darkest Hour will be affected, being an old game, between this and the fact the greedy Paradox Interactive have long become Steam-exclusive and DLC milkers extraordinaire, I'm not taking any chances. This is now officially forsaken and cancelled. I also will never, ever waste time with modding again. A new wave of decline, courtesy of Steamtards, is at hand.
