#Hoi4 list of states mods

While seeking limited goals might be difficult for something as binary as an AI to do, there might be incentives, such as avoiding war by just giving up the disputed states. Think of it as a an expansion of the border war mechanic, but without the abstraction that could be reserved for the AI, to make it easier for the AI. That would fall in with Clausewitz's statements on war - in his book, 'On War' in which he asserts that 'war a tool for the state', or as others have put it, war is politics with bloodshed but better manners. When justifying for war, the player could mark that they are only after certain states, and not the entirety of their neighbor. Aggressors who are only after a few claimed states could be willing to stop there, without conquering their neighbor or puppeting them just to ensure their claims. Perhaps the possibility for White Peace should start with the claims process.

The reason there were so many white peace events was probably die to the mash of mods I pieced together for my own entertainment, but even so, I've seen it happen in unmodded games - one AI is clearly winning, and the other is near capitulation, but instead of capitulation, white peace happens instead. That manner of 'White Peace' should be for when wars have stalemated and neither side has the gas to keep going, or when someone is winning but there is a bigger threat against them, so rather than keep at it to take everything, the victor offers lighter terms to the loser in order to end the conflict. I had a game in which Japan and the various Chinese factions went head to head a dozen times, and every damn time a White Peace event would fire, and everyone would go back to their start lines. SOV starts a 25% civil war and gets -20% stab and war support.Īs long as the White Peace isn't happening every damn time. If Finland is at war with the Soviets and Finland holds Leningrad and Murmansk, a peace is signed granting Leningrad, the Kola Peninsula and whatever the state is to the south of the Kola Peninsula to Finland. 20% stab and war support for all allied powers. France is puppeted by Germany except for Corsica and Savoy, which are given to Italy, and a fascist UK is puppeted in the British Isles. If the UK and France have capitulated but the USA has joined the war and there are no Allied troops anywhere in Europe or North Africa, a white peace is signed dividing Africa between Germany and Italy, allowing Germany to puppet SA, and annexing Canada to the UK, which gets cores on Canada and keeps its puppets otherwise. USA and UK get -20% stab and war support. If Japan holds the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, the DEI, Hawaii, and two VPs in the continental United States (not Alaska) or Canada, the Allies surrender and Japan gets all Allied pacific possessions, but not land in the continental USA.

If the Soviets are at war with Japan and Japan holds everything up to the Urals, the war ends and the Russian Far East is ceded to Japan. SOV gets -20% stab and war support and +0.10 democratic and fascist growth for a year. If Germany is at war with the Soviets and holds Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Baku and a victory point beyond the Urals, the Soviets surrender and Germany gets everything west of the Urals in Reichskommisariats. If Czechoslovakia is at war with Germany and both France and Britain are NOT at war with Germany and CZE holds Munich or Berlin, Germany surrenders and starts its Hitler Assassinated civil war.

This will never happen historically but it is meant to represent a regional conflict that would happen if both France and Britain went for alternative ideologies. If Poland is at war with Germany and both France and Britain are NOT at war with Germany and Poland holds Pomerania, Silesia and Ostpreussen (and anything else that Poland historically got after WW2), Germany surrenders and starts the Oppose Hitler civil war, and Poland gets the states. Requires Ethiopia to hold Somaliland and Eritrea, and results in a white peace where Ethiopia annexes those two states. This is perfect as it is and I think represents what might have happened historically had China performed better. I think HOI4 could be better if there were white peaces hardcoded for certain scenarios in-game when it would be tedious but not especially difficult to finish a war another way.
