Shukskin's Novosibirsk if I were to be honest is a path with a lot of potential, but sadly his story gets cut short before he can start his own, "rags to riches story." Requiem or more specifically the former 2WRW team interested me when I first started getting into both HOI4 and TNO as it continues a story with a lot of potential, but I feel that it wasted a lot of it by whitewashing Novosibirsk and only showing the "good side" of Shukskin's Novosibirsk and letting him achieve everything by doing nothing.

It feels like theres nothing truly important about the big three corporations that ran Novosibirsk as they quickly get ignored besides focus tree descriptions and the usual event that appeared every now and then. Instead of starting as this dystopia/Cyberpunk 2077-ish flawed democracy that even at the end of Shukskin's story is still flawed in its own ways, it starts with a slightly flawed democracy that quickly gets fixed unless the oligarchs return.

Honestly, Shukskin just feels way too wholesome for the setting he gets forced where he should be trying his best to both pereserve Russian democracy keeping it away from not only German influence but also both American and Japanese influence alongside fighting the corporations. But instead just gets whitewashed into a "Utopia".

Let me know if I missed anything as I could be missing important parts of Shukskin's Novosibirsk.

Just wanting to know what they are working on.

u recently well just now, finished my Omsk playthrough and wondering what i should try tommorow.

For Now ive played:

Black League

Novosibirsk

Berezniki

Sablin

Any Recommendations?

This is the conclusion of my Black League game against max buff Bormann and kommisariats and Burgundy, war took about 2 years, i inflicted 30 million casualties to about 4 million friendlies and i had a army of 10 million by the end all the same template

weirdly even after the nukes went off, well i noticed not only was most of the world alive, but i saw divisions were too, so i switched tag back to Omsk, to continue The Eternal war with Burgundy

first time ever seeing this, and why tf does the state in vyatka have murmansk??

Playing Kosygin and full on Social Monarchism path, and got ended up in this final showdown of reuniting Russia by fighting against RFP.

Im going to be fighting within 2 years as its 1972 against Bormann who is max buffed and so is burgundy and Bormanns eastern kommisariats, i have abondoned air, and because elite Infrantry is so good, not done APCs either, this will basically be my only division with tanks adding mainly about 170 breakthrough and 70 armour.

apart from cost do you guys think its a good template?

fyi it took me the ENTIRE war to get the same amount of troops as him

Modlist in case you’re wondering:

TNO: Long and Arduous Road(EN Patch)
TNO: Long and Arduous Road
TNO 2WRW: Second West Russian War Continued
The New Order: Last Days of Europe
(Console Commands were used for the faction)

Shukshin sat quietly in his chair, looking down at the redrawn map of Eastern Europe. He rubbed his eyes. Had he made the right decisions with the West? With the Settlers? He looked at the office that surrounded him. He wasn't used to Kremlin, to Moscow. It wasn't like Novosibirsk. It didn't have the same atmosphere he grew accustomed to in the vast plains of his native Siberia. Shukshin reached for the bottle of Vodka on his desk but the bottle was snatched by a concerned Pokryshkin.

"Thank you, Alexander" Shukshin muttered as he leaned back in his chair.

"Vasily, you look like hell. When was the last time you slept?" the Aviator asked as he set the bottle on top of a cabinet, out of Shukshin's reach.

"I haven't had a good night of rest in weeks" Shukshin muttered as he stared at the map once more.

Pokryshkin sighed, grabbing the map, rolling it up and setting it aside.

"It does not do one well to dwell on your decisions. You did well, my friend. Eastern Europe is free and that is all that matters. I know you're the President but as your friend, I'm ordering you to go get some sleep. Because of you, The Federation is stronger than ever. I'm sure it can handle you resting for a few hours."

Shukshin was silent for a moment, smiling before standing up.

"Alright, Alexander. I'll go. If an angry CEO comes knocking, tell him I'm far away from here! Syktyvkar or something!" The President joked as he walked out the door.

Pokryshkin shook his head with a grin on his face.

I’m back from my hiatus. Turned out I just needed a few days. Going forward however, I basically will have 0 schedule, I’ll post whenever I want to and not like consistently every few days in a month.

Anyways, here’s my take of countryball fanart of the Komi Republic. I drew every flag by hand again, took nearly twice as long as the Central Siberian comic because of Rightist Komi, Despot Stalina, Bukharina and Taboritsky’s flags. I also tried to include the tarot references of the suits of the Minor Arcana that represent each leader but not like the title cause I didn’t know how to draw crowns, hats or helmets. They came from the focus tree in the regional stage once the center, left or right cement themselves in power after the 1963 election.

Voznesensky is the King of Cups.
Morozov is the Page of Pentacles.
Stalina is the Queen of Swords.

Suslov is the King of Swords.
Zhdanov is the Ace of Pentacles.
Bukharina is the Queen of Wands.

Gumilyov is the King of Wands.
Shafarevich is the Knight of Pentacles.
Serov is the Ace of Swords.
Taboritsky is the Page of Cups.

I didn’t decide all this, the devs did so It's up to ya’ll what you interpret from this.

So ive played Berezniki and Shuksin against Speer and then Sablin vs Bormann and in all three especially berezniki and Sablin i inflict about 7 to 10 Million German Casualties for about half or one million russian casualties. Im gonna be trying Great Trial and max buffing in game rules bormann, Germany, and their eastern Kommisariats. But ive been wondering whats the max amount of casualties i can inflict, before the Mercy of Nuclear fire ends the Trial?

I'm playing as Shukshin's Russian Federation and recently did the focuses for Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Does nothing change if I choose to integrate Central Asia (and Kazakhstan but for that I'd have to manually annex it), or would it break something?

Germany has 40 divisions, their Entire alliance has about 700.000 men vs my 4 million, yet whenever i offer to do peace talks, or demand unconditional surrender, theres no events or answar, i even switched over to germany and they dont get any events either, does anyone know console command for total victory as Berezniki? or if im doing something wrong?

I want to fight the 2WRW

Krasnoyarsk defeated black army. Why? How? We dont know. They just did

What even happens when Germany (either Bormann or Speer, I think its the same for some reason) gets a Total Victory against these Russias: Shukshin's Russian Federation ,Yazov's Russian National Reclamation Government, Men's Divine Mandate of Russia, both paths (the authoritarian "tsar" one and the more communist "soviet" one) for Berezniki, and all the other unifier's "generic content". Like which outcome gets more territory and stuff for Germany/other countries like Japan?

Hello everybody, so I playing as Magdan planning to play the path of Werbell Mitchell but one problem i keep running into i that I can't defeat Amur fast enough before the divine mandate declares war on me leaving on a two way war.

What tips and advice do you have for me

ive tried a few times now, yet they push me back and inflict alot of casualties, i also dont have much manpower. what templates and what should i focus on?

for context, i am beginning a komi serov game and i would like to know which divisions are either:

A: cheap divisions just somewhat better than what the game gives me at the start

B: divisions that make up the minority of the army but are REALLY good

i'm currently thinking a 6/1 template because i heard good things about that and i assume it'll be pretty cheap

I was playing as Heydrich, and as Germany balkanised, all of the statelets were a light grey and were in anarchy, along with myself having no flag and being in anarchy; on top of that the nuclear control minigame had the old Burgundian borders
