Historic Geographical Overhaul

We’re baaaa-aaack!

Formerly known as Hecking Gorgeous Overhaul, Historic Geographical Overhaul is a complete overhaul of the HOI4 Map. You can now remake historical borders including: The Cold War, World War One, the Napoleonic Wars, or even your favourite alternate history mods. This mod adds so many new nations that it would take me over an two hours to write them all here.

This mod is a complete overhaul of the HOI4 map. Mods that modify anything other than Scripted GUI, Graphics, or Music are not compatible. Toolpack is HIGHLY recommended.
This mod IS NOT ironman compatible.

We do all of our production on GItHub, which houses the more experimental builds. If you’d like to test new features as they come out, you can!

Q: WHY IS MY GAME CRASHING?
A: HGO truly isn’t meant to be unpaused. It’s purely to make maps, alternate history scenarios, or provide resources to fellow modders.

Q: Can I use the provinces from HGO for my own mod?
A: Yes! Just credit us when you post it to the steam workshop with a link back to HGO. That’s it.

Q: Why are countries not in factions anymore?
A: For some reason, when a country is in a faction, it slows the transfer process of transferring states. Hence why they’re disabled for the time being.

Q: Do you plan on adding new scenarios?
A: Maybe, we don’t know yet.

Q: How are you supposed to invade England with no air nor navy?
A: The supply region and strategic area systems are disabled for the time being. They will be reimplemented eventually.

Q: What’s the graphical mod in the screenshots?
A: The screenshots are made with the following:
Sensible Map Font: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1772079976
Sensible Political Map: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1772080537

Toolpack: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1417069016

Q: Why aren’t buildings showing up in states?
A: Buildings no longer appear on the map, which reduces a lot of potential workload, and also removes close to 80,000 errors.

Q: Are you guys going to expand into the arctic?
A: We’re trying to. We currently are having issues with the map size being over what it is currently, and once we figure out how to get around the map limitations, we’ll add it in.

And lastly…

Q: Why was the original mod taken down?
A: The original HGO mod team had a falling out. After numerous arguments, HGO was divided into two mods: Project Magellan (and HGS) and (a now much smaller) HGO. The two rivaling mod teams exchanged hostilities and both sides ended up doing drastic things out of anger. The main issue between the two teams was the use of intellectual property. This debate eventually led to a DMCA takedown being filed on HGO, and then another DMCA takedown filed on HGS. Both mods ended up being taken down. Ironically, HGS and Magellan have been recently reconsolidated back into HGO, making the whole situation come full circle.
