This mod is all about giving you more choices and more options, regardless of what nation you go for. Not only that, but the mod actually gives you a surprising amount of freedom of how you want to direct your nation. With this mod, smaller nations finally get to step into the limelight, even if it’s just a little bit. You see, one of the main issues of the vanilla game is that most minor nations don’t really have their own unique stuff. If you’re interested in an alternative post WWI era, this is the mod to play.Īside from just extending the timeline into 1965 though, this mod actually adds a ton of extra detail and stuff to do. I don’t really want to go into too much detail since experiencing it’s a pretty unique ‘what if’ scenario that has so much to explore and discover. To help you on that journey, the game boasts tons of new and unique events and decisions to make, fully-formed focus trees, and a ton of new ideologies to experience. What path you take relies solely on you, whether you want to grab hold of the German Empire and take it to global domination, or maybe one of the defeated countries and lead them back to victory. With Germany becoming the dominant world power, countries like the UK and France take on isolationism and a unique form of communism. It’s a pretty interesting question, and a fleshed-out scenario for you to play and experience. An interesting take on alternate history, Kaiserreich posits the question “What if the German Empire won WWI?”. Regardless of which you chose, all the mods below are available on the Steam Workshop so they’re super user-friendly and easy to use.īest Hearts of Iron 4 Immersion Mods #1 KaiserreichĪrguably one of the best Hearts of Iron 4 mods out there, Kaiserreich actually has its roots in Hoi II, so it’s been around for a while now. The second section is more about utility and adding complimentary mods, such as things which make the AI better, or that change the textures of the game to look nicer. One section are total immersion mods, which change the game fundamentally, such as extending the timeline, changing it to WWI or even setting you in the lore of a beloved franchise. While there are an absolute ton of mods out there, I’ve decided to mainly focus on two things. Thankfully, the modding community is both great, and has your back when it comes to Hoi 4. Of course, while all that is pretty great and awesome, for those of us who’ve been playing the game for a while now, especially the previous installment, you might want to add a little bit of zest into the game.

Want to be the Reich and go on world-domination (by not attacking Russia waaaay too soon)? Go for it! Want to lead the free world to victory as the UK or the US? You can do that too!
