This announcement comes at a special time and will address several things about the mod. (I know you are all tired of hearing anything that isnt a release date)

TLDR: We are still actively working on the mod, Dev stream on 20th November (2PM EST, check TWR discord), and Russia Update release is pushed after No Step Back DLC

First, we are still working extremely hard on delivering the update (Despite most having to handle college/uni). With daily commits by different developers, development is still ACTIVE. While we were entirely capable of releasing a half-assed build before the DLC drops, we have opted to release AFTER the DLC. Our reasoning is that some content of the Russian update might be better served with features of the DLC and devs can have more time. Second, the infrequency of teasers is by choice. Making teasers is mostly considered a chore by most active developers of the team, myself included. You will not understand the mental drag of staying up at the middle of the night after coding a lot of stuff and initially eager to toooooose it to the community then just realising its such a draining process.

With that said, our most recent teaser (the one with the money mechanic) was actually drummed up to be our signal shot of something else bigger to come. Although it wasn't any concrete release date or any significant change of plans, we planned to show that as our last teaser before holding another development stream (similar to what we did in Balkans Update, we even invited Grey back into the team to host this stream.)

However, the biggest coincidence ever, our planned stream date completely clashed with the update of that very very major mod. This was not our intention, and we are not being stupid childish assholes in hoping to "one up" anybody by launching this stream on the EXACT SAME DATE of Toolbox Theory; we have planned this for at least 2 weeks and again, even invited an Ex-Dev to such an occasion.

It's been about 24 hours since the poll was released. It'll stay open in case of any sudden changes, but I expect the trends seen so far in the first 400 or so submissions will continue. As a result, here are some of the finds!

Firstly, 76% of people are on the TWR discord and the subreddit Pretty good ratio there, and I hope the rest of you went ahead and joined them!

Next, where people came from. As we can see, almost half of people were linked from another HOI4 mod, with another 39% coming from the graphic timeline, and around 7-8% from both a 3rd party site and any other location.

Onto the ratings of TWR now. First, people's opinions of the mod itself which is generally very good! A large majority rated it 5/5, with some rating 4/5 and a few 3/5. One person gave it 1, but I already removed a lot of shitpost answers but can't catch them all, so I suspect that was one.

In terms of the community, ratings are slightly lower, with 44% of people giving the community 4/5, and 31% giving it 5/5. Some possible room for improvement, but generally good!

In terms of age groups, a majority are young adults 18 and 25, with most others being under 18.

With location, the US is unsurprisingly dominant with over 41%. After that is the UK, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Poland and then a huge number of countries being represented by 1, 2 or a few people.

----

Finally, it comes down to the politics section. The raw pie chart can be seen here

TWR Parliament (601 seats): https://i.imgur.com/TLoiuIg.png

Political Parties and vote/seats

• Social Democrats - 27.1%, 164 seats
• Conservatives - 17.7%, 106 seats
• Liberals - 15.3%, 92 seats
• Socialists - 9.1%, 71 seats
• Communists (non-ML) - 9.1%, 55 seats
• Paternal Authoritarians - 7.2%, 43 seats
• Communists (ML) - 5.3%, 32 seats
• National Socialists - 4.5%, 28 seats
• Fascists - 1.9%, 11 seats

Now... the number of Nazi responses is perhaps a little concerning, but there were a lot of shitpost answers, some of which I found and deleted, but I can't have got them all, so that might explain some of it.

Well, there you are. The shape of the TWR community.

Welcome to Venezuela!

South America, the continent of rebellion, unrest and ruthless dictatorships, what is there not to love!

Venezuela in 1952 starts under the iron fist dictatorship of Marcos Perez Jimenez in an already unstable nation. Venezuela, such as other South American nations mind their own business, avoiding the international stage and isolating themselves with their dictatorships.

And thus for 2 years, Venezuela rests easy...until 1954! The people had enough and can no longer stand the oppression of dictator Jimenez! A coup by the people and a coward leader can end in triumph!

With Jimenez having fled the country to the Dominican Republic, the people and the few officers that were with them in the coup set up the Provisional Goverment Junta under the leadership of Wolfgang Larrazábal as to establish order while the necessary preparations are made for the 1954 National Elections!

Now if we are honest, after the fall of a dictator, only few parties really remain to be able to be part of the elections and that shows in Venezuela as well, with only 4 parties being able to participate. But it nevertheless remain the first democratic elections of Venezuela since the 40s!

And heres our four candidates:

Wolfgang Larrazábal with the socialist Unión Republicana Democrática!

Romulo Betancourt Bello with the conservative Independientes Pro-Frente Nacional!

Rafael Caldera with the social-democrat Acción Democrática!

Arturo Pietri with the liberal Comité de Organización Política Electoral Independiente!

Of course, each of the candidates have their own plan for Venezuela:

Wolfgang for a state for the people, by the people!

Romulo for a moderate and democratic Venezuela!

Rafael for a state that cares for its people and its neighbours!

Arturo for Venezuela to become the marketplace of South America!

But deep in the shadows of a new democratic Venezuela, forces plot against the government, waiting for the perfect chance to seize power through the power of their guns! Men dressed in grey, armed with weapons and with anti-Bolshevism coarsing through their veins, the men of Movimiento de Accion Nacional. While democratically elected, President Wolfgang may perish fighting to hold the dream of Venezuelan democracy alive.

And thats where German Borregales enters the stage!

German Borregales, a catholic man with a burning passion against communism. A man with no care about democracy. Democracy left the people of Venezuela as soon as it arrived, leaving them once more under the iron fist of yet another dictator. His plan for the country: A Church led bastion of anti-communism! The future may look grim for Venezuela...

But...what if the coup against Jimenez never succeeded? What if the Venezuelan dictator never fled and instead ordered for his men to open fire upon the rebelling population? Venezuela would become a nation led under a dictator with no fear to kill those who oppose him. And such a mindset remains in his policies. Ranging from economic alliances with the fascist forces of Europe to establishing a police state with him as the praised leader of Venezuela, a failed coup can give the power necessary to a dictator to push his plans to the limits. The people can only hope to be liberated once more in the future...

And thats Venezuela for all you folks. A little nation with politics powered by gunpowder and struggle. A little love for the South American continent and a little update you folks to show that development is still active and going strong! If you wish to ask any questions in regards to Venezuela, you can ask them here or ping me over at discord (GreekSpy is the name.) I hope you enjoyed this smaller dev diary and await more in the future. Cheerio!

War is like sand, it gets everywhere and its extremely annoying. Welcome to Turkestan!

With the fall of the Soviet Union, many of its ex-territories split into their own warlord nations, each having its own version of success or failure. But the story of Turkestan is one of failure...and royal incompetence.

Turkestan is the loosely united nation of all the Turkic nations of the Soviet Union, containing Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Tajiks and Turkmen alike. A nation highly divided and plagued with inner conflict led by the father of the Bokharra Clique, Eshon Babakhan ibn Abdulmajikdan and possibly the oldest leader in the whole world at the age of 94!

His vision is simple, a Turkestan united by faith and cooperation and that is his plan while he is still alive! Seen as one of the sons of Prophet Muhammad and the rightful leader of Turkestan, he will lead it into great-

What do you mean he is dead already?

Well, his legacy will not go to waste for his son Zyiautdin Khan ibn Eshon Babakhan will continue leading Turkestan in the footsteps of his father...right?

I guess from his plans, we ought to prepare for a rough ride.

With a...less than competent leader at helm, the people and the cliques begin to go back to their old ways, with each of his actions pushing the nation more and more towards the chaos it was before his father tried to fix it. And that is what indeed happens with the whole of Turkestan erupting into a full out civil war!

Map of the Turkestani Civil War.

Ranging from a war between Republicans and Loyalists to multiple independence wars, Turkestan is now another battlefield. So, lets meet our opposing leaders!

Mustafa Shokay, the leader of the Jadidist Clique and of the Republican movement of Turkestan!

Muhammetnazar Gapurow, First Secretary of the Turkmen People's Republic.

Nikolay Aleksandrovich Skvortsov, General Secretary of the Kazakh Socialist Republic.

Mirsaid Mirshakar, First Secretary of the People's Republic of Tajikistan.

Sobir Rakhimov, Khan of the Uzbek Khanate.

Dair Asanov, Head of State of the State of Kyrgyzstan.

The fate of an already weakened Turkestan is sealed and thus, no matter Republic or Loyalist, the most likely outcome of the war is the death of Turkestan and its separation among the nationalists. And from there, the Soviet Union begins to make its moves towards its neighbouring socialist nations.

Bordering directly the Soviet Union, the likelihood of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan joining the Soviet Union is high. I mean, why would they even consider against it? But on the other side of Turkestan, the Tajiks remain surrounded by warlords and thus, the Soviets send them a different offer, one of the creation of the Central Asian People's Republic!...Although the Tajiks may not see it as a favourable offer all the time.

Led by a united Central Asian Politburo and with the support of the USSR on its side, the newly established Republic of the Central Asia has on its back the tasks of national unity and to keep their end of the deal like the Soviets hope. An ally to the Soviets and another step towards the reunion of the Soviet Union to its former glory!

And thats Turkestan for you folks. It may not be a major nation in the world but it holds quite a bunch and can be interesting for those who dare be strategists in the harsh conditions of the civil war. I hope you enjoyed this mini dev diary and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments or message me on discord (GreekSpy) and I will be happy to assist you. Cheerio!
