Competitive Multiplayer

*** New Pacific Scenario Released! ***

Do you ever want to play a perfectly balanced Multiplayer Match of HOI4?
Ever want to host a world championship to find out which player is the most skilled?
Then this mod is right for you!

The mod creates two perfectly balanced 1vs1 scenario.

One Plays on the Eastern Front and puts Germany against the Soviet Union.
The other plays in the Pacific and puts the Japanese vs the USA

In both of these, both countries start with:
– The exact same amount of factories and manpower
– The exat same starting units
– The exact same Resources, Political Power, Laws
– Both start without Generals, Admirals, Tech Companies, Political Advisors
– Both start with the exact same Politics and no ideas
– Etc, etc, etc. You get the point. They start as equal as possible

There is of course one factor that is not perfectly balanced, which is the terrain of the Eastern Front of WW2 and the Pacific Theatre.

Besides the territory owned by the two players the rest of the world is owned by a neutral country that has tons of resources so both players can trade with it. The neutral country cant research or build divisions or equipment, and wont in any way influence the game besides trading with the players.

So thats what this mod is, a truly balanced scenario where only the skill of the players counts.
If you encounter anything that gives one of the countries an advantage (besides terrain) please report it here as I would consider such a thing a bug.
Also I hope that someone will host some sort of tournament with this mod, if you do please let me know as I’d love to see that 🙂
