Hearts of Iron IV: Peace of a Billion People Mod
A World Without War?
Imagine a Hearts of Iron IV scenario where the guns of 1914 never fired, and the Great War was averted. This is the premise of the “Peace of a Billion People” mod. In this alternate timeline, a general strike orchestrated by the Second International in the summer of 1914 prevented the outbreak of a continental conflict, ushering in an era known as the “Great Peace.” By 1919, the “Charter of a Billion People’s Peace” was signed in Geneva, establishing a supranational body, the “World Peace Congress,” to safeguard this fragile order. Now, in 1936, over two decades of peace are being tested by the lingering effects of the Great Depression, colonial unrest, German ambitions, and Eastern aspirations.
Your Role in a Peaceful World
In “Peace of a Billion People,” you have the unique opportunity to take control of the World Peace Federation (WPC), headquartered in Geneva. Will you act as the guardian of this hard-won peace, upholding the principles of global cooperation, or will you choose to dismantle the established order and forge a new path? This mod introduces a wealth of new content and mechanics designed to immerse you in this alternate 1936.
Key Features of the Mod:
- The World Peace Federation (WPC): Play as a brand-new nation, led by a mysterious AI entity known only as “The Unknown Existence.” The WPC boasts a unique national focus tree, specialized international peace brigades, and a custom Geneva capital.
- The Billion People’s Peace Pact: At the start of the game, all nations are bound by a treaty that provides significant stability bonuses but heavily restricts declarations of war and alliances. Players can choose to break this pact, incurring penalties and the WPC’s ire, while AI nations may gradually withdraw.
- Peace Index System: A new visual panel tracks the “Peace Index” of major powers, fluctuating between total war and perpetual peace. Reaching certain thresholds grants powerful national spirits, while dips can trigger emergency Geneva conferences.
- United Nations Treaty System: The mod introduces the formation of the United Nations, with opportunities for member states to sign disarmament treaties, further solidifying global peace.
- Geneva Influence System: The WPC exerts influence through various peace funds, impacting diplomatic relations and shaping the decisions of nations like Germany, Japan, and China. Betrayal of the pact can lead to collective sanctions.
- Expanded National Scenarios: Experience unique event chains and branching paths for major powers like the USA, Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, and Italy, each with consequences that affect the global Peace Index. Encounter new crisis interventions, such as the Manchurian Crisis, and delve into the mystery of the WPC’s leadership.
- Alternate Timelines: Choose from two new starting scenarios: “Peace of a Billion People – 1936” and “Twilight of Peace – 1939.”
This mod offers a fresh and compelling take on the Hearts of Iron IV experience, challenging players to navigate a world teetering on the brink of either lasting peace or a conflict unlike any seen before.
