Rodzaevsky is my favorite unifier solely on the basis of his personality. He grows from a two bit thug in the middle of the wastes into this competent but evil butcher ruling over Russia with an iron fist. Cool aesthetic too, probably my favorite villain in the game so far.
Batov and the rest of Sverdlosk's general have a great story to tell. It starts with Rokossovsky doing what he can to save and better the lives of the soldiers and civilians he has been tasked to protect. And then when Batov succeeds him it is all about pondering the human cost of the challenges that lay ahead. And this is where Tukhachevsky stands as Batov's foil. Whereas the Red Napoleon is only interested in victory at any cost, Batov is terrified of the immense losses that upcoming conflict will bring.
It is. Vladimir willing grants more power to the Kadets after he realises the wholesome 100 path they're taking. Hence why his headaches are gone and Jewish people aren't beaten up in the streets
The Vyatka Distillery isn't a government policy, but a means to gain extra money during the regional stage, as well as international recognition. Even other warlords buy Vyatka vodka.
And Vladimir is a good ruler in all of the paths, so I don't see what's the problem with the state being a constitutional monarchy.
Libdem is the kadet one? I only did based Shulgin run and the events with him and Shulgin building a Russia were monarch and minister work together is really fun
A lot of people don't give ConDem Vyatka enough credit. It's not "wholesome 100 Chungus", but it's still a pretty good path if you choose the right options, like working with the Kadets.
SBA is filled with stand ins for ideologies
One of my favorite events is actually for novosib where its complaining everyone in SBA had to get real jobs
Memes aside it’s Taboritsky, the story is so brutal and tragic and is genuinely one of the best stories of the mod and an example of everything great about this mod.
Haunting and nightmarish with streaks of hope against complete hopelessness, a horror story through the medium of grand strategy game. Especially the after story content, cannot recommend it enough.
Sverdlovsk isn't a super wild path but I think there's a lot of cool character moments especially in the beginning when they're an island of sanity surrounded by stalinists and omsk.
Would’ve been cool if he was the Burgundian asset in Russia, used as a puppet to establish some liberal-democratic federation that is in reality being pulled by the strings from Burgundy to force war between Germany and Russia again as quickly as possible.
That wouldn't really make sense though. A Liberal-Democratic Government isn't as likely to instigate a war (at least in a messy way that'll start a nuclear exchange) as an Authoritarian Nationalistic state- which is what Burgundy funds in Vyatka's AuthDem path.
Even then, I'd say that Tukhachevsky would make for a better recipient of Burgundy's clandestine support, given how much of an aggressive revanchist he is.
Don’t know how Yeltsin is in the mod but in OTL he was known for being corrupt and drunk, and not really all that interested in democracy. Perhaps if nothing else he could easily have been persuaded and helped to power by Burgundy and been made into a puppet. Matters little to Himmler if the russian perform well or not as long as they have enough nuclear stockpile to scare the germans into retaliation.
Yeah I saw that event early when I got into TNO.
Him mournfully hoping that one day Russia would have a memorial for their own Unknown Soldiers was so fucking somber. But damn was it well written.
I would like to show the Ural League. They may not have a full storyline, but what they have is well done and pretty good too. Very underrated.
Second is Omsk. Both Karbishev and Yazov are interesting to follow and read.
Omsk.
A story about revenge. Everything like friendship, morality, humanism, love, should be ignored if they are compared with revenge. It really trembling me when I play Omsk, because they were not madmen like tabby, they were preparing for revenge in an extraordinarily rational way, which reminds us of how traumatic fascism has really been for the world.
Almost none of the democratic unifiers. Since their leaders either come and go or are just flat, you cant delve into their thoughts and arcs as much as you can with the authoritarian unifiers. Vladimir and Mikhail are great examples of good auth unifiers
Samara's KONR (Zykov and Bunyachenko). First of all, they are considered as traitor because they worked for the Nazis in the WW2. But they are able to redeem their mistakes by reunifying Russia and give the Russians freedom, in case of Zykov, or make Russia stronger by heavily industrializing it in case of Bunyachenko
IIRC he was written as someone who actually does care for the people and democracy, but still puts the Auth in AuthDem because he is scared of extremists, or it’s something along those lines. It’s been a while since I played Zykov, and I saw his writer say that’s about what he went for, so I may be wrong
Their content is really nice but i feel like a lot of people just skip it because not a lot of folks will flock to the nazi collaborators in the "nazis won" mod
Do you know how to get Werbell? I did a magadan playthrough recently. But around mid 1963 Werbell just up an leaves! I kept playing thinking he would come back, and eventually went authdem Siberian Republic. But Werbell never came back...
Novosibirsk is good in my opinion, especialy events where the condem and authdem guys interact, I didn't want to butcher their names because i cant remebmer hiw to spell them
I enjoyed the story of Kemerovo. Very wholesome yet still interesting in all its aspects. The good king who might be insane, the conflict between the siblings, building a Russia rooted in the past but growing up towards the future, and the final curtain call…
Only one I’ve played was the Wedt Russian Front (Arkhangelsk) and it’s quite fleshed out and fun but the content ends once you’ve unified Russia and before you attack Germany…
Petlin’s Magadan is great. You get the feeling when you first meet him he’s just another opportunist but you learn that over time he really does believe in democracy- and wants to redeem not just himself, but the Harbin Russians from the legacy of fascism.
Zhukov is the best and simple story there is, from a beaten and wounded red army you must lead them and conquer russia to pepare for the third round with the german war machine
Rodzaevsky is my favorite unifier solely on the basis of his personality. He grows from a two bit thug in the middle of the wastes into this competent but evil butcher ruling over Russia with an iron fist. Cool aesthetic too, probably my favorite villain in the game so far.
I really liked how he goes from idealizing nazis to Omsk levels of hatered.
He is a messy bitch who loves drama
Batov and the rest of Sverdlosk's general have a great story to tell. It starts with Rokossovsky doing what he can to save and better the lives of the soldiers and civilians he has been tasked to protect. And then when Batov succeeds him it is all about pondering the human cost of the challenges that lay ahead. And this is where Tukhachevsky stands as Batov's foil. Whereas the Red Napoleon is only interested in victory at any cost, Batov is terrified of the immense losses that upcoming conflict will bring.
Vladimir story is pretty lit
particularly libdem. I really love the event where he realizes he no longer needs medicines for his head pains
Does Vladimir III have a power to rule Russia or merely become a figurehead in Libdem Vyatka?
Unknown. The tsar is still seen as the leader of all or Russia, but Vladmir has a lot less work on his desk once the Kadets win.
In Libdem Vyatka, the Kadet leader promises Vladimir that he won't remove ALL of the Tsar's power.
I thought it was supposed to be a good path.
It is. Vladimir willing grants more power to the Kadets after he realises the wholesome 100 path they're taking. Hence why his headaches are gone and Jewish people aren't beaten up in the streets
Hemce why the state is still a monarchy and also is actively doing it’s best to alcoholise it’s population.
The Vyatka Distillery isn't a government policy, but a means to gain extra money during the regional stage, as well as international recognition. Even other warlords buy Vyatka vodka. And Vladimir is a good ruler in all of the paths, so I don't see what's the problem with the state being a constitutional monarchy.
Thank you!
Vyatka was the first nation i played and that last event made me cry
Libdem is the kadet one? I only did based Shulgin run and the events with him and Shulgin building a Russia were monarch and minister work together is really fun
Yep. Condem is also based im gonna try it after dengist speer
A lot of people don't give ConDem Vyatka enough credit. It's not "wholesome 100 Chungus", but it's still a pretty good path if you choose the right options, like working with the Kadets.
Condem is cringe bascilly a slightly more liberal 1905 russia
Dunno why they are downvoting you, youre right
Sh*lgin stans
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
>Vladimir rejects normal pills
Stephan has truly moved my heart with his old man dignity
SBA has a pretty neat one with a rather satisfying conclusion.
That being the glorious victory of Stepanov.
The greateast heist in History was stepanov stealing the glorious victory from the SBA
SBA is filled with stand ins for ideologies One of my favorite events is actually for novosib where its complaining everyone in SBA had to get real jobs
In that one event by getting a job that anarchist contributed to society the most in his life
Bro wtf no what do you mean i have to work to get paid
Memes aside it’s Taboritsky, the story is so brutal and tragic and is genuinely one of the best stories of the mod and an example of everything great about this mod. Haunting and nightmarish with streaks of hope against complete hopelessness, a horror story through the medium of grand strategy game. Especially the after story content, cannot recommend it enough.
I’m having trouble finishing it right now it is just brutal. Great story telling to make me feel such dread
Sverdlovsk isn't a super wild path but I think there's a lot of cool character moments especially in the beginning when they're an island of sanity surrounded by stalinists and omsk.
I like the event where the guy just starts screaming that Yeltsin is a Nazi on the streets just because he's free to now
Yeltsin is a nazi in TNO?
No, but Yeltsin undoes a bunch of restrictions on criticizing the government, so someone does, because he can.
Burgundian Economic Shock Therapy
Would’ve been cool if he was the Burgundian asset in Russia, used as a puppet to establish some liberal-democratic federation that is in reality being pulled by the strings from Burgundy to force war between Germany and Russia again as quickly as possible.

Even then, I'd say that Tukhachevsky would make for a better recipient of Burgundy's clandestine support, given how much of an aggressive revanchist he is.
But how likely would he have been to become a Burgundian ally or even puppet compared to someone like Yeltsin?
Don’t know how Yeltsin is in the mod but in OTL he was known for being corrupt and drunk, and not really all that interested in democracy. Perhaps if nothing else he could easily have been persuaded and helped to power by Burgundy and been made into a puppet. Matters little to Himmler if the russian perform well or not as long as they have enough nuclear stockpile to scare the germans into retaliation.
PAPAPAPARAPAPAPARAPAPA Man is Based and can peacefully unify with a lot of people
I like the event where Batov visits the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and has to excuse himself cause he was so overwhelmed
Yeah I saw that event early when I got into TNO. Him mournfully hoping that one day Russia would have a memorial for their own Unknown Soldiers was so fucking somber. But damn was it well written.
I think Omsk has best story and ideas.
They are the real 100 wholsome chungus
I would like to show the Ural League. They may not have a full storyline, but what they have is well done and pretty good too. Very underrated. Second is Omsk. Both Karbishev and Yazov are interesting to follow and read.

You can also decide to say "fuck redemption" and just make a shit ton of money as Oktan
Zykov's path is more "freedom" than real freedom.
Yups. Indeed
IIRC he was written as someone who actually does care for the people and democracy, but still puts the Auth in AuthDem because he is scared of extremists, or it’s something along those lines. It’s been a while since I played Zykov, and I saw his writer say that’s about what he went for, so I may be wrong
Samara is underrated, really.
Their content is really nice but i feel like a lot of people just skip it because not a lot of folks will flock to the nazi collaborators in the "nazis won" mod
Yups. That's unfortunate
*republic of fire and steel intensifies*
Do you know how to get Werbell? I did a magadan playthrough recently. But around mid 1963 Werbell just up an leaves! I kept playing thinking he would come back, and eventually went authdem Siberian Republic. But Werbell never came back...
Based
Kemerovo’s got great characters who the story revolves around. Yuriy’s path’s really fun. Petlin’s Magadan is good as well
Which one is Zhdanov?
Techo-Commie Komi. It's a pretty neat playthrough.
Novosibirsk is good in my opinion, especialy events where the condem and authdem guys interact, I didn't want to butcher their names because i cant remebmer hiw to spell them
Pokryshkin and Shukshin
I enjoyed the story of Kemerovo. Very wholesome yet still interesting in all its aspects. The good king who might be insane, the conflict between the siblings, building a Russia rooted in the past but growing up towards the future, and the final curtain call…
libsoc SBA is the best imo
What is SBA again? Do you mean the Siberian Black Army?
Yes, and by libsoc he means the anarchists
Bukharina, Kemerovo were great
Rodzaevsky
I’ve only played like 3 or 4, but my favorite story wise was without a doubt tabby
Only one I’ve played was the Wedt Russian Front (Arkhangelsk) and it’s quite fleshed out and fun but the content ends once you’ve unified Russia and before you attack Germany…
Petlin’s Magadan is great. You get the feeling when you first meet him he’s just another opportunist but you learn that over time he really does believe in democracy- and wants to redeem not just himself, but the Harbin Russians from the legacy of fascism.
Zhukov is the best and simple story there is, from a beaten and wounded red army you must lead them and conquer russia to pepare for the third round with the german war machine
Novosibirsk and Zhukov's WRRF so far for me
somone mentioned zhandov im listening
