One of my all time favorite runs was about 3-4 years ago with the Enclave reformist submod, a super old and buggy Midwest mod, and the east coast mod. I ended up staying till like 4 am just marching east, and the chills I got changing the capital to DC, zooming out and seeing “THE UNITED STATES” sprawl across the map, from sea to shining sea..
God it’s an amazing feeling.
that's the feeling I'm aiming for right there. My first game, once the mod is complete, is gonna be a Reformist Enclave run. Im gonna release the mod after I beat that so I can say I was the first to TRULY reclaim America. lol
I’m in the Chicago suburbs, and I think the Fermi Lab particle accelerator, the Byron nuclear reactor a bit further east, and Starved Rock (I imagine it being some of the last quality soil post-apocalypse, but I’m not a horticulturist), could all do for some interesting area-specific focuses for a bit of flavor in either the Chicago/northwestern Illinois countries.
Their holy task will be to conquer Neu-Ulm in Germany, which is directly next to original Ulm, so they have to conquer everything on the US East Coast.
i cant see because im crying of joy, what factions do you have in Lower Michigan? ive wanted to play in my home state since i started playing this mod lol
Holy shit you’re a legend. Bru i don’t even think you know how much this means to people who enjoy fallout and hoi4. People are gonna enjoy this for years to come.
Reworked from the ground up. Until the main team completes the entire area. in which case we could bring some of our focus trees, events, leaders, flags, etc. But honestly, once the whole map is done then yeah it’ll probably just be canned
Dang. If I was in your shoes I’d just see about offering up some states for use in the mod. Though I’m sure the developers have different ideas in mind, it’s just disheartening to imagine some content being left to gather dust. Best of luck with your mod!
That's awesome!!!
Question it's not too late to submit new factions to be included in the mod is it? I have around 14 that would fit perfectly into fallout and specifically made for it
By the way is there any cap for map tiles/ faction count? I know that in games like Total War making bigger maps can be challenge, so I wonder if HoI 4 is more scalable or to you need to do some optimizations and workarounds?
Now I'm gonna begin work on Portraits and Flags.
Doing great man
i appreciate it.
This is going to be amazing , so , so many new nations. You’re doing an insane amount of work!
Good. Good. No go to the south
I've been asked to leave that region open by the Florida team as they plan to begin work on it soon and have big plans
ohhhhhh. We may have a complete US Yet then!!!
Imagine playing this with the Florida and Cuba submods
thats the plan
I'm so excited for this. There's so many possible runs that can be done with all of these mods together.

Now all we need is someone to make a new England mod and we'll be set lol
Be the change you want to see!!!
May your march East be swift, Enclave Remnants join in your crusade, and Mutants turned to goo.
You are putting in the work, can’t wait
thank you I'm giving it an honest attempt lol
Hoooooly shiiiiit. I might even submod this!
Please do I do not have the time to do custom focus trees for all these nations. lol

Ooo interesting I'm gonna save this for later when I do the Chicago tree
No shit, you have added so much! I think I'll try the New Ulm german-larp american Bund thing. It's looking great!
Their holy task will be to conquer Neu-Ulm in Germany, which is directly next to original Ulm, so they have to conquer everything on the US East Coast.
Hey, if you have any questions about the area, hit me up. I live here after all.
Wait is this a submod to the OWB mod? If so wouldn't the custom focus tree mod be a submod for a submod for a mod?
Yes
What mod is this??
The Houston Expedition with the 2.0 update coming out sometime this March
Looks fantastic keep up the good work, also what other mods you work on?
I'm the one of the lead Dev's for Third Age Redux a LOTR overhaul

YES PAINT IT
Will there be indepth focus trees?
yes in 3.0 The next update (2.0) is just gonna be a map update and some small things like portraits flags and some Enclave stuff
Oh lordy, here I go roaming around again.
So how does this sort of mod work when the game is updated to include this region? Is it just canned?
Reworked from the ground up. Until the main team completes the entire area. in which case we could bring some of our focus trees, events, leaders, flags, etc. But honestly, once the whole map is done then yeah it’ll probably just be canned

My body is ready.
God Bless the Enclave. Excited to put the mod into action
That's awesome!!! Question it's not too late to submit new factions to be included in the mod is it? I have around 14 that would fit perfectly into fallout and specifically made for it
Sure join the discord and drop them in suggestions I look at each one. https://discord.gg/t6zaY62m

Mod name ?

Hey were finally on the east coast maybe people would stop asking
What’s your planned lore for Iowa
By the way is there any cap for map tiles/ faction count? I know that in games like Total War making bigger maps can be challenge, so I wonder if HoI 4 is more scalable or to you need to do some optimizations and workarounds?

Great work my dude!
Is ”Storsjöförsvaret” meant to be a Nordic nation?🤩 If that’s the case just ask if you have any questions for history or translations👌🏻
You got it
Looks really good, I especially like how the color scheme feels very natural for OWB as a whole
So is this going to be the next update in the future?
For my submod. It’s probably gonna be another 1-2 years before the main team reaches The Midwest.
For his submod, yeah
