Hey so I just bought HoI 2 and AoD off steam since they were both $4.50....so what are the good mods? I already have read Cassidy's LPs using the Fallout and modern day mods so I'm gonna get those and I downloaded Kaiserreich since it looked interesting. Any other HoI 2 mods that are good? As for AoD, I have no idea since I haven't looked yet and still have to install it.

Alas, all MDS were bad in Pdox games. You need unique mechanics to represent modern days...
DAIM was a very good AI modification for HoI2. Then there are mega mods - Kaiserreich, Flames of War, C.O.R.E., Total Realism Mod (dunno if this one is updated).

Kaiserreich for HoI2 or better, for Darkest Hour. Someone should make LP based on that.

Well that sucks to hear that about the Modern Day mod...I was hoping that would be good. Has Paradox ever given a reason why they haven't made a game that runs from 1940s-now? It'd be awesome to play a Cold War-era HoI. I wouldn't care if it wasn't historical...I'd just like some updated tech trees and new countries.
And judging from the other comments it looks like Kaiserreich was the way to go, glad I got that one. My only gripe is just the pacing of fighting...is it the mod or is it just a HoI 2 mechanic where movement takes forever. Terrain seems to have much more impact than in HoI 3, same with organization...really annoying trying to take a hilly or mountainous area, since I can defeat the enemy and they have enough to to retreat and come back before I get to it.
There are many difficulties when creating a modern day game. First of all the importance of war has to be greatly reduced, what with nuclear weapons and MAD. The game should be an economic/political game, and this is boring for most players (ie lack of good target groups).
I would really like a good modern day game too, but alas, no "major" (as major as Paradox at least) developer will make it.
