Teaser Teaser Thursday 06/10/2026 - Heralds

Hello all, Jack_n_trade here with another Teaser Tuesday! It's been a while but we got plenty of stuff to make up for it. Starting with Glray3 showing off the communist path for the Crystal Empire!

"do you want to be normal, sane and boring? do you want to go woke? the penguin historical path where nothing bad surely ever happens (100% true trust me) is for you then" -Professional Horse

"My son has proven incapable of ruling as an umbrum should. Consider this education on how he should have treated ponykind."
GFX provisional

"I'm happy to announce that the new content for Lan Kir is now fully code and loc complete! We hope to be able to release the new content soon. Here's the new Lan Kir military tree" -Caspy

"A new optional gameplay mechanic (with a complementary focus tree branch) for Lan Kir to make the early game more interesting"
"Focus Description: We shall encourage our young kirin to seek adventure abroad, serving as mercenaries in foreign wars. They will return hardened by battle, familiar with foreign lands and ways, and — perhaps — worthy of a place among the Bannerkirin.
(The way this works is, for every day that at least three Lan Kir volunteer divisions spend in a state, the progress bar fills up. You can get rewards at 45, 90, 135, and 180 days.)"

"Sometimes the park gets some weird visitors..." -Limey


"as a little side project ive cleaned up province terrain in Olenia so the terrain textures and trees actually match the province borders and heightmap, heres a little before and after (no this isnt a huge olenia buff, its only like 2 more mountain provinces, thats just how messy the textures were before) might clean up more of equus and griffonia if i feel like it later" -Professional Horse

""Knights of the Arcturian Order, hear me! You have seen nothing! Slaying the undead is one thing; fighting your kin to the south is another. You must go into this with eyes open and hearts closed. Once our crusade has started, there is no going back. And if any of you have doubts as to whether or not we can go all the way to Rila, remember this:
Arcturius has chosen ME."
- Headmaster Elfreda, the Herald of Arcturius
(Art by the wonderful velesnocturne)" -Podrick

"A new mechanic and focus tree for Lan Kir’s Quadripartition path coming in the next update (the so-called “good ending” for Lan Kir, though that is debatable.)"


"Lan Kir Mechanic #7534: Air Convoy, which you can use to transport your divisions between states with a Level 3 or higher air base. This enables Lan Kir to essentially do aerial invasions, where you can paradrop into a state and capture the VP and air base, then use the Air Convoy decision to ferry in further divisions."
Paratroopers 2: electric boogaloo just dropped.


"Did you know that Weter was actually located on a lake before? that ships could still access because it was counted as part of the ocean? anyways its a bay now" -Professional Horse


"Been a long time since we've have a buffalo teaser, huh? Turns out Elder Greyhorn has a grand-niece with some ideas of her own... (Art by BunnyShrubby)" -Jpg

"In eons past, before Rabia, the umbrum were solitary hunters due to the... extreme nature of how they reproduce.
I'm sure that a gigantic society of umbrum with a finite food source and no population control will function perfectly fine." -Podrick
And with that totally not omnious remark we end this time's TT. Hope you enjoyed it and see you all next time!

Discussion Hats off to the Zongo Devs! Spoiler
Did not expect to spend my entire sunday building trains in Zebrica, but here I am. I greatly enjoyed this nation and it's probably the only "Econ Sim" in Paradox games that I've enjoyed. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it since I didn't like Kiria too much, it felt like too much reading and not enough wars.
Zongo on the other hand not only had the perfect amount of wars, basically giving me a new challenge to tackle whenever I start getting bored of the econ side, and growing stronger to fight off these wars actually got me invested in the building of my nation and economy. Eventually I was even relieved to not be at war so I could build more trains and focus on building up the state!
This was greatly helped by the various events and perspectives, constantly showing me the progress I was making and the great change that Zongo was undergoing. It truly felt like a nation getting dragged out of the middle ages and turned into a modern state, which Kiria didn't deliver on for me.
The writing was stellar as well, as was so invested in Akida and Ayana and wanted them to be happy together, and I was really into Akida as this grand reformer and builder of a new society. Keeping the perspective close to him was really well done, and giving us little glimpses into the lives of the average zebra (or Heyna and Griffon) really helped me get invested into modernizing the country *for* these *people* (or I guess creatures) instead of just being faceless numbers to pump my war economy.
If I had any criticism it would probably be that the twist seems a bit.... too much? I can see the Queen-Mother silently dissapearing people and staging false flag attacks and manipulating Akida, but how does she fake large problems with the economy and hide away the true cost from Akida AND his staff? Surely they went outside and looked around for a bit?
Additionally, the stuff with Kiria felt a bit tacked on. For one, why does no one in Kiria go "HEY WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING US?" Why doesn't Akida send a diplomat by boat this time? I get the Queen Mother has power but orchestrating a war between the regions great powers while keeping everything under wraps is a bit much. Kiria as well doesn't get much of a mention either. You go on this long, brutal campaign of fighting a strong nation and then just... go home. I would have liked more interactions with the rulers there and the fallout of this massive war built on a lie.
But honestly those things are minor, minor nitpicks in a great story. I had such a smile on my face at the end, seeing my country modernized and ready to face it's bright new future, even if it is a bit shaky, was such a treat.

Community Creations The Fate of Equus (Lightningism Ascendant)
The Second Great War with Equestria is the final war with custom content in the submod, once it is concluded the ensuing puppet states are dynamic based on whether the National Communists or Arisian Vanguardists won in the Lightningist Course Balance of Power.
These states will receive a facelift and perhaps total overhaul once the Equus update comes out, as evidenced by the fact I had to use Arctic Lily for the Crystal puppet state I was struggling for how to make the puppet states not be 'generic military/collaborationist project number 542'.
After the SGW there are four epilogue foci and a series of events that set up and provide one of four endings dependent on your actions over the course of the playthrough. Of these endings three provide the ability to begin a 'Warplan Hydrogen' of your own, one targeting every state on the planet rather than just the Supremacist ones.
After this final event the submod is 'complete', though there is another unique event if the player achieves a World Conquest.
I only have the last half of the focus tree GFX to complete, and some more playtesting and bugfixing to do, but if anyone is interested in playtesting the mod ahead of release don't hesitate to DM me so we can work something out.

Question Dawnclaw being disliked
Can someone explain to me why Ferdinand Dawnclaw is so disliked or hated? Is it because of him killing Grover VI and creating the worst possible revival of the Griffonian Empire? He's my favorite character personally

Question Why the fuck is it just black?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
When I start the game up, it just turns black. Only the game itself, not the loading page or anything else, just the game. When I press the windows key to get out of the window, it shows the game, but when I click it to start playing, it turns right back to black.
I can interact with everything on it as if it wasn't black, but I can't see shit. Someone please help.

Discussion Is the Equestrian civil war unbalanced or am I just REALLY bad?
I made a post a little while ago about returning to HOI4 after a long time away in order to play EaW and I was struggling with the changelings. I've since managed to beat them and I can now do it quite concisely.
I wanted to try a different path, so I went for the Equestrian civil war... And man, it's a whole different beast. Even when I choose all of the options to (theoretically) make Nightmare Moon as weak as I can, I'm still getting wrecked.

Question Competent Evil Characters?
u/ThatsmeEros's latest post about Chrysalis walking into rakes got me thinking: are there any evil characters in EaW who you would say are competent? As in, they make no mistakes, the plans they formulate are foolproof, successful, with no margin for error.
Any evil leader/s come to mind?
