HOI4 has made me hate Germany

While I was previous fine with the existence of Germany as a nation before playing hoi4, this game has truly changed my perspective. Something about the billion Germany-centric mods, mods making Germany extremely overpowered for no reason, soy Hoi4 tubers on their zillionith Germany playthrough, and general German bias has gotten to me.

I have over 3.5k hours in this game, yet have not played Germany in any mod in over a year and a half. When we I play a nation, I go out of my way to annihilate Germany and remove them from existence. It doesn’t matter what mod, what scenario, what country, but I always destroy and carve up Germany. It doesn’t matter if I’m playing a pro-German path or a shitty backwater country, Germany must die. I have never allied with Germany without stabbing them in the back immediately.

It doesn’t matter the mod or playthrough, I have destroyed Germany. Notable playthroughs:


Kaisereich Belgium: 10 million dead Germans

Kaisereich Poland: 25 + million dead Germans and Austrians; couldn’t even win

RT56 Luxembourg: 3-4 million dead Germans

Vanilla Netherlands: 10 million dead Germans

Vanilla Poland: 20 million dead Germans

Vanilla Austria: 10+ million dead Germans

Vanilla France: Usually between 6-10 million dead Germans

15+ Vanilla USSR games: Usually around 10 million dead Germans; I can hold the 1941 border

Soviet Estonia/Baltic: 10 million dead Germans

Barebones Man in the High Castle mod as USSR: 30+ million dead Germans
