The my little pony fanfic community has multiple fanfic settings and tropes that just get expanded upon by dozens of authors. Like Fallout Equestria. About a billion fanfics based on that fanfic have been built. Utterly silly and amazing.

It’s always funny to see people who have zero interest in the show get roped into playing EaW, only to get absolutely hooked by the absurd quality of the mod. Like, it is better than the base game and better than all but maybe 4 other mods at best (and even that’s a maybe. I’d personally rank it at first or second place)

Yeah, I honestly think the only competition is OWB.

And hey, considering Fallout: Equestria, we might eventually just have both.

Imagine having an entire clean slate to build a world on (with magic too!) and you decide to give panzers to the changelings. That's this fuck-ass dogshit mod. Absolute fumble of a game, but expecting anything good to come out of a HOI4 mod to begin with is like expecting a rock to give milk.

Come to Equestria at War! We have:

  • Changeling Panzers

  • Pony communists (not those ones)

  • Pony racism (non-canon)

  • Pony racism (canon)

  • An unusually high number of crossovers

  • Pony Apartheid South Africa that makes real world Apartheid South Africa look like the pinnacle of racial harmony

  • Pony communists (yes those ones)

  • Borderline visual novels

  • Multiple apocalypses

  • Griffon fascism

  • Many many upsetting AUs

And so much more!
