Радвам се. И аз играя България повече от други държави и за това направих модът.

Не, както написах по-долу, ако ъпдейтите от Парадокс нямат нищо общос с България, значи няма нужда да ъпдейтвам, и жълтото триъгълниче не трябва да ви притеснява.

Здравей! Много харесвам мода и го използвам във всяка моя игра (главно защото играя само с България :steamlaughcry:)! Любопитно ми е дали работиш по нова актуализация?

MRorca:

No. Cause you will have to download the entire DLC anyway, but it's just gonna be in my mod.
It's also gonna make conflict with the people who own the DLC.
If you want to play it so hard, wait for a discount on it and buy it.
It's not costing an arm or a leg.

They had their attempt. They could have done better.
I am really glad that there are people that enjoy the work I have done.
Thank you! :Farm::Windmill::coffee:

This is like the only mod that makes my idol gigachad Boris at least somewhat worth being played. I swear paradox devs love to make characters I like utterly shit

squide:

Yeah, I gave up on trying to edit the map.
Every big DLC screws the changes I have made and the work to restore them is too much.

Sad to see the ugly central macedonia state go unfixed

Since HoI4 just dropped an update, I will explain something for the people who will see the yellow mark on my mod and come here to want an update.

THERE IS NO NEED.
The patch notes didn't mention anything about Bulgaria, so nothing needs to be patched.
You can play my mod with the new version of HoI4 just fine.

Have a good day and enjoy! :Farm::Windmill::coffee:

Uploaded a small update to fix a few localization mistakes, and the Bulgarian Shipping Chamber showing up two times.

Thank you all for the help! Enjoy your games! :Farm::Windmill::coffee:
PillBox20  [author] Jan 16 @ 2:48pm 
TheInfectedgame:

Yeah, I checked and I see the problem. Tomorrow morning I will fix it.
Thank you for reporting it!

Edit:
Essentially you now have an extra level of the national spirit.
Enjoy it while it lasts! XD

in the navel tree, completing more then 1 add dockyard focusses gives you a double bulgarian shipping chamber spirit, only 1 gets the upgrades though

Hello everyone!

The long awaited update is here!

Since it took so long to make, there are a lot of new changes.
I will list the most major ones.

-Total Rework of the Economic Branch.
-Total Rework of the Navy Branch.
-Huge Expansion of the Army/Airforce Branch
-Expansion of the Byzantine/Third Bulgaria Empire Branch.
-Total Rework of the Communist Branch. (phase 1 complete, phase 2 in future update)

As always, since there are so many changes, there will probably be bugs.
Report them as soon as you confirm that it is a bug, and not a feature.

Thank you again for all the patience and support!

In the following days I will update the mod's description and add new pictures.

Happy New Year and have a great day! :coffee::Farm::Windmill:
PillBox20  [author] Dec 29, 2024 @ 2:29pm 
I have left a few sneak peak pictures on top of the page
for you to see some of the contents of the new update. :supporterstar::LTHdangercat:

NOTE: Everything you see there is pretty much done,
but since it's not released yet, it could get changed.
PillBox20  [author] Dec 29, 2024 @ 2:07pm 
Hello everyone!

The more I reach the end of this update, the more I think that the update will not happen before new year.
I will be straight with you and tell you now, so that you don't hold your breath.
At the worst, I will upload the update around 10.01.2025. At best, in the next few days.

I get a lot of ideas as I go on, and I need time to test and see what works and what does not.
This loses time no matter how much I try to rush things.
On the other hand, I like to make everything work properly before I upload something.

So I will have to thank you for your patience, wish you a Happy New Year in advance,
and start next year with a bang of an update.

See you next year! :Farm::Windmill::coffee:

brickdude05:

Well... I have been losing interest over the years in HoI4,
but modding kept me back and back again.

I am sure that it will one day come a time where I will have to drop everything
and focus more on myself, but I don't see that day any time soon.

So for the time being, I will continue doing what I enjoy.
Thank you everyone for the support and feedback! You really are helping!

brickdude05 Dec 8, 2024 @ 10:24pm 
Man, it is surprising how long this mod survived throughout hoi4's history. Many people would've been too busy with personal life and gone on to do something else of interest. I don't think the average hoi4 player base recognize that, and I want to say you have very good commitment. This mod is a underrated gem.
PillBox20  [author] Dec 7, 2024 @ 4:21am 
Hello everyone!

The work is still continuing on the update, but since it is taking so long,
I want to write what you will see when it comes out. Spoiler... it's a lot.

-Total Rework of the Economic Branch.
-Total Rework of the Communist Branch.
-Expansion of the Byzantine/Third Bulgaria Empire Branch.
-Total Rework of the Navy Branch.
-Huge Expansion of the Army/Airforce Branch

All of the above are complete, except the Communist Branch.

I am aiming for the update to come out before New Year.

Thank you all for your patience and support!

Wish you a very good day! :Farm::Windmill::coffee:
PillBox20  [author] Nov 16, 2024 @ 11:05pm 
Heads up everyone!
I have checked the mod with the new game version, and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
You van still use the old version of the mod until I finish the new update.

Just a note as I don't plan to buy the new DLC until a discount, so take that with as much :par_bandage: :steamsalty: as you need.

Wish you a good day!
TzarElemag Oct 31, 2024 @ 6:37am 
Awesome 😊
PillBox20  [author] Oct 31, 2024 @ 5:26am 
TzarElemag:
Oh, another small spoiler.
I have also reworked how you remove the army restrictions as to be more historical.

In essence you have a decisions tab and you can start working on the same decisions (and a few others) that help you convince the UK to remove the army restrictions.
I just made them take a bit longer.

Overall you will be able to remove them sooner, and you won't be forced to take a focus to start the negotiations process.
PillBox20  [author] Oct 31, 2024 @ 5:23am 
TzarElemag:
Yes, I have already rebalanced Tsankov's path and even added another focus to the Total War sub-branch to beef it up a bit.
You can still do the Bulgarization of the Balkans to core everything you need.

Usually no matter what path I choose (except democracy) I try to do some early conquest before I finish my entire political path and/or economy.
After I secure some land I can chill for a few years and build up for the big war.

I thought that by not having access to the church focus that the monarchy and the Legioneers have, people would figure out that they can't go for the Patriarchate. Hmm...

With the massive economy rework that is coming in the next patch, I think it will make each political path even stronger, so I am excited to see how the players make it work for them.
TzarElemag Oct 31, 2024 @ 4:11am 
Aside from that I really like how parts of the focus tree disappear when I pick a path and if you could do that with the faction focuses I believe it'd make it more obvious what the player can and can't do when going certain paths.
TzarElemag Oct 31, 2024 @ 4:07am 
About the Second white terror focus, If my whole game gets ruined because I'm forced into a civil war then it makes sense to make the focus a bit shorter, not only for new people that are giving this path a try but also to save time because by the time I'm finished with everything political I have to go to war if I want to avoid conflict with the axis or allies. From what you said, I understood that if I go Tsankov I go Total war and that is not really what I want so I guess I won't play that path but I wish it had some more versatility
TzarElemag Oct 31, 2024 @ 4:07am 
Thank you for your answers Pillbox20, I didn't know that the focus for the bulgarian patriarchy was actually intended to not work for Tsankov. I'm not sure if I missed a text or something while going that path or it's just not mentioned at all which confused me. Now it makes sense going Total war because I don't have time to do Fate of the balkans. By how the focus tree was put it made it look like I can do total war, the thing in the middle and fate of the balkans with whatever path I choose.
PillBox20  [author] Oct 29, 2024 @ 5:27am 
TzarElemag:
So I have some time now and examined the focuses.
Now I think that you mean that the Second White Terror focus itself is too long at 105 days.
I am honestly not sure what I was thinking back then.
Since I am working on the next update, it won't be too much work anyway to re-examine the Tsankov path and see if it needs rebalance in the focus days and some minor tweaks.

Thank you again for your comments! I will see what I can do. :LTHdangercat:
PillBox20  [author] Oct 29, 2024 @ 1:13am 
TzarElemag:
As for the Patriarchate not being open to Tsankov, that is on purpose too. He radicalises the church and I don,t believe the Patriarchy in Istanbul would accept the Bulgarian Church back into their community because of that.

So you are pushed into the Total War scenario that is to the right of it. I don't remember if the Bulgarian Hegemony path is open to him, I can't check right now, but it is still a good option for him.

Thank you for playing my mod and than you for your comments! When I finish with my responsabilities for today, I will be doing somr finishing touches to the reworked economic branch, so I can check if everything of what you say works as I remember it.
PillBox20  [author] Oct 29, 2024 @ 1:13am 
TzarElemag:
Hello!
I am not on the PC right now, but from memory I can say that what you say is exactly right. Works as intended.

When I made the Tsankov path I looked heavily into his history and his first mandate in the 20s. Long story short, his policies went really hard against the communists that caused large scale protests and it ended his rulership. I just made his path a "what if he was successful" kinda deal.

About the mechanics of the Fatherland front, I didn't want to touch them cause Paradox has made them way too complicated and integrated with other systems, so just for something that can be defeated in a short order, I am not gonna touch the whole system. Just defeat them quickly and you are good.
TzarElemag Oct 28, 2024 @ 11:28am 
Another thing I forgot to mention. Restore the bulgarian patriarchy doesn't work and it says that I don't have the national spirit ''the bulgarian orthodox church"
TzarElemag Oct 28, 2024 @ 10:24am 
I've got a few things to say. When I go fascist, more specifically NS, why am I forced to deal with the communists first out of everything else? I don't have any time to do anything. Even so that is not that big of a deal to me, but why when the civil war that happens if i don't do anything about it I get turned communist? Why do I not stay Fascist and fight the war against the communists? I don't see any decisions to do something about it.
PillBox20  [author] Oct 14, 2024 @ 9:08am 
Good evening everyone!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am back on working on the next version of the mod.

The reason why I have not modded for the last 3 months is because I got distracted with some good games.

I won't put any time lines, but I do want to upload the next update before the next DLC comes out.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your support! :coffee:

Blue Emerald:

The mod is still operational, but can,t say when the new update will be online.
VVenchov Sep 2, 2024 @ 8:30am 
I know I'm getting annoying, but will the update be released soon or will we have to wait up to a year?
PillBox20  [author] Jul 16, 2024 @ 4:06am 
Blue Emerald:

There is progress, yes. But will not disclose anything at the moment.

You will have to wait until the update is uploaded. Thank you for your patience.
VVenchov Jul 16, 2024 @ 1:54am 
Any progress on the big update?
PillBox20  [author] Jun 17, 2024 @ 9:08am 
GREA:

Thank you! Because it is unknown what exactly caused his death, I usually stay away from implementing anything related to that.
Paradox just introduced a system that would cause his death around the historical time, unless you play really well with his political path.
Still working on the next update. It will take some time as I am reading a lot about the things which will be included in it.
:coffee:
GREA Jun 17, 2024 @ 8:15am 
I am very much looking forward to Boris III's follow-up national policy, and I greatly appreciate this politician who works hard to maintain his country in an extremely tense political situation. Therefore, in normal mods, I usually cheat to prevent him from dying and continue to realize Bulgaria's dream of becoming a great country. Extremely looking forward to your future updates:steamhappy:
PillBox20  [author] Jun 15, 2024 @ 2:12am 
Blue Emerald:
It is operational. It doesn't need an update.
Currently I am working on something big, so I can't make a simple update to get the version correct.
It still works. Enjoy!
VVenchov Jun 14, 2024 @ 2:22pm 
Will the mod be updated soon?
PillBox20  [author] May 2, 2024 @ 7:34am 
borislavbtanev:
Thank you very much!

Currently working on a big update, so the mod won't be up to date for a while.

Should still work. :retreat:
borislavbtanev May 2, 2024 @ 6:26am 
I really like this mod. It's just so well made
PillBox20  [author] Mar 30, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
Blue Emerald:
Thank you!

Currently working on a rather big update to it, so it won't be updated for a while. Maybe two more weeks.
Hope that it will looks pretty cool after it.

PillBox20  [author] Feb 24, 2024 @ 4:17am 
Hello everyone!

I have uploaded a small update.

It fixes some things related to the Army Restrictions (also new effects from it)
You get your third research slot back now as well.
Now if you support IMRO, you get a repeatable decision to increase resistance in Macedonia.

That is all. Keep reporting bugs and I will go hunt them down!
PillBox20  [author] Feb 19, 2024 @ 7:04am 
Hello everyone!

I made a small rebalance in the industrial branch.

Tobacco Exports - new national spirit. Upgrades with Nationalisation
The Autarky Sub-Branch is rebalanced.
The Paramun Bauxite Mine gives now 16 Aluminum.
The Sofia University focus now gives you Electronics Research Bonus.
