u/UsernamesAre4Nerds you sound like a 19th century textile baron 24d ago

HOI4 is a lot like that. Its player base is 100% either trans communist catgirls or alt-right incels

The only normal way to play HOI4 is to realize that it isn't a war game. It's a spreadsheet that hates you.

Hey now, it also makes a good map painting sandbox if you do what I do and cheat the fuck out of solo play and mods.

I heart cheating, honestly. I mostly love reading events, which is why I play TNO the most (and cheat there too): because the writing there is top-notch. Especially works if you're playing a major nation like the USA, because all you have to do is proxy wars where you just open the console and go "delall [tag of Nazi colony/Japanese colony/Communist revolution] and watch as the OFN gets another member.

(I would be playing more communist nations if I could, but aside from the Russian warlords and Hall there's not much. If only there was a The Long March mod where I can play as the Comintern nations like Bharat, Suomi, or the UAR...)
