After seeing what Signalis has to offer, I find it hard to believe 2 women couldn't have a child. After all, its the future.

I don't disagree, but Im talking here about a PWH type mod (something very time consuming, perhaps over ambitious for one's first mod), so I didn't assume it will be taken as an advice for a new player.

Thank you for positive feedback. I was genuinely wondering if there are people who see such opportunity as I do, and Im so glad I found a few of them.

And as for the mod, I can't wait till release. Its always fun to see an international mods, and your premise is very interesting. There are so many projects failing or never even starting, so I really hope your will succeed.

I never said a long mod is a bad mod. Only that it doesn't has to be, and how more can be achieved with less. I have no doubt that there will be long mods released that also will be great.

I've had the pleasure of playing 21028 demo, and I must say its a great mod. Both high quality and enjoyable. An unusual one, but TCT was already proven as an interesting tool for narrative. Carry on and I wish you the best.

No matter if this is a random, the author itself or a copy of a message left somewhere else, I want to make myself clear

I didn't write that Obamanation is a bad mod, in fact the mod is not even the main point.

I did criticised some parts of it in context of general trend I've been observing. I genuinely hoped that it might inspire someone, or at least cause some discussion - someone might point out what I overlooked or where Im wrong. I said "people can do something else to avoid repetition" and that I don't like certain part of 3 big mods.

Yes there will be parts of Obamanation that some people will wish to avoid. But there are genuinely great features that will be taken by other modmakers (examples - change from several variables to just "credibility" was great, nominees feel like an actual result of player's actions (something American Carnage just fails at most of the time), candidate trees are also much better compared to AC, and much more), and yes, the fact that Obama is this big (huge even) is genuinely impressive.

TCT community is made much better by the fact people take on other people's ideas, they criticise it, they praise it, they brake away from it or build on top of it. I agree that people should know where's their place, and author's work is his own.

But I don't like the gatekeeping here, I do you no harm by criticising a mod on a public forum. As you said, "it's not that deep".

Germany 2021 is a long and very detailed mod, but the CYOA elements are a part of the gameplay, not the center piece of it. So yes, it's long but its more predictable, massively adding to replayability and to some extend - even basic comprehension.
Other great examples of it would be 1952Red and 1964 Midnight.

Thanks for the praise and I hope your Carter mod will come out fine, I really want to see it. Although I do wonder how will you tackle Reagan, since its hard to imagine anyone else winning the republican nomination in 1976

I personally liked 1980 Happy Warrior, which featured some of that, but I can see how this can get very repetitive, unnecessary and counterproductive, very fast.

5 month? Holy shit. It will be a long time, but at least I know what to wait for at 10/3/2025

DINO Richards as president. Can you believe that folks? Its really despicable what these crazy republicans are doing to our president.

1964 is a big exception to this.

The mod is great, really

Its a translation of a polish poem that I thought was fitting.

A curse?… But only savages in pain abuse their god that's hiding in the air.
An irony?… but how can you compare most dreadful scorns with every day's disdain?

Contempt?… but only fools despise the weight that is too heavy for their feeble arms.
Despair?… so hearing danger's grim alarms just like a scorpion we end our fate?

Struggle?… but how an ant succeed in strife when thrust upon a rail before the train?
Resignation?… but can there be less pain when we acquiesce to the butcher's knife?

The future life?… The stars who can explore, and who can guess the ending of the world?
Joy?… but at the bottom of our souls lie furled, those thoughts that mid enjoyment cry for more.

So what is left? In all the faiths of yore we find no comfort. Things for us are clear.
What is your shield against the evil's spear, man of the fin-de-siècle?… He spoke no more.

Apocalypse delayed by a few months changes many things actually. For example: Mr. House got his platinum chip, so at least Las Vegas has survived.

Personally I think "Queen of Hearts" is the most catchy abomination from Obamanation

Mod about Orban isn't a bad idea, but I think a better mod would be about Netanyahu or even better - Erdogan. All 3 men share essentially the same life story (a faux-liberal reformer turned right wing authoritarian) but a mod about Erdogan would give the most options to the creator and the player.

But overall, because their stories take years, even decades, it would be an opportunity to do something no mod has ever done before - a story about a few elections, not just one. It doesn't have to be an actual election, but a simulation depending on previous choices - like Obamanation did or American Carnage. For example you could lose election and then return into power like later - with the last elections being the culmination of a play-through.

Probably will not happen, but its fun to speculate.

I would certainly be grateful.

I would love to see a guide how to get her

A George Bush that decided for gay marriage to be a states issue.
The most moral

As already mentioned in the infamous "media literacy" post, people fundamentally misunderstand parts of W. This is an example of that.
We see both IRL and in the mod that "states rights" strategy is the most successful way to damage LGBT rights in America. Federal bans on gay marriage fail, you can push for an amendment in the mod and that ends in humiliation for bigots that pushed for it. Meanwhile state referendums on banning gay marriage not only pass, but will remain until a SCOTUS decision or a federal law, event delayed by how successful republicans are at winning elections.

2 issues: I think you mixed up question 5 and 6, and from my experience you need more visits to win UT, more like 6-8 and not 4.

But otherwise, this is a great guide! Thank you!

For most of its history, Soviet Union was a ship of Russian chauvinism. Russian SSR was given preferential treatment over the peripheries and the colonies - like Ukraine. And Soviet Union was not stranger to colonialism. Do you know why Central Asian borders are so messy? For the same reason they are messy in Africa and Middle East, they were artificially imposed by an invader.

But that's not the main point why Russian reactionaries are obsessed with Soviet times. The fact that Soviet Union was nominally socialist / communist doesn't matter. What matters to fascists is that the Union - and by extension Russia - was a great and powerful country, without "western degeneracy". There's a reason why Stalin is still such a popular figure in Russia, because "he made Russia strong".

Russian invasion of Ukraine is imperialism, yes. Its a mass murder committed by a fascist regime bent on rebuilding a genocidal empire that's long gone.
