Description:
What’s the mod about?

In 1936, a lone Luftwaffe pilot crashes in the heart of Africa—and hell follows after him. Crash of The Black Eagle is a potentially dark, alternate-history expansion for Hearts of Iron IV, chronicling the rise and potential fall of Wolfgang Reinhold, the mad "Black King" of Gambia. Stranded in the jungle.

Main Features:

Gambia’s Descent Into Madness – An expanding focus tree with multiple paths, including:

  • A Fallen Eagle (Drown the world in a war conjured up by a delusional mad man)
  • Assessing Our Situation (Attempt to reconnect with Germany and establish a Reichsprotektorat in the region)
  • "Reinhold’s Sanity" – Over time, and through focuses, Reinhold’s mental sanity can either improve or deteriorate, representing his grip on reality and the drastic measures and acts he commits.
  • Ascend To The Stars – Reinhold, should he lose his sanity, has the goal of Ascending through the power of the Gambia River, should he complete his mission, the world will suffer dire consequences, should he fail however, it is unlikely Reinhold’s mind can withstand the suffering.
  • New story-based events based on Reinhold’s actions within the Gambia River.
  • More To Come (Future updates will add additional paths)

Planned Future Content:
  • New Radio Station – Eerie ambient tracks and distorted propaganda.
  • Unique map effects to provide more eerie visuals.
  • Dynamic Disaster System – Floods, famines, and "The Black Sun’s Curse" debuff.

FAQ
  • Do I need any DLC?
    No! This mod is standalone.
  • Is this compatible with other mods?
    Avoid map-altering mods. Otherwise, it should work fine.
  • How dark does this get?
    Very. Expect human sacrifice, insanity mechanics, and various horrific themes.
