These kind of mods really make me wish that Paradox actually made East Vs West which could have spawned a proper series of it's own, possibly being a combo of Vic2 and Hoi4 with many unique elements.
There's a couple of paradox like games that do that (cold war / post cold war grand strategy). The issue is that it's really not that fun when you only have 1-3 Super Powers that can easily dominated the world and a bunch of nukes.
@@Palora01 I think it's still a fun frame work to make a good game, if proper AI and mechanics are developed. I can see the third world being very fun to play like in the Middle East, Africa, LATAM, South East Asia, etc. Expansion on the asymmetrical warfare and constant arms race for the bigger powers. There's definitely a gem to be found in it.
More please, this is not going to lie, one the best videos you've made. The editing is just a good balance, but the music choices and the overload of escalation happening is just so entertaining
I love CWE, but it requires a very specific type of player that is willing to engage with the game in ways that don't involve constant warfare, and are willing to live with the consequences of their actions. And uh, good luck finding people like that playing Vic 2, much less any paradox game community
Happy new years here is this years first weekly reminder that jaeger thought he could do an encirclement in the ocean. Also week 14 of asking spud for a full China campaign (yes, I know how his production cycle works but at this point I’m committed to the bit).
This is the hottest take but i actually prefer the victoria 3 version of CWE, it adds so many mechanics such as the IMF, inflation and banking, housing, and so on and is what victoria 3 should have been. You wont be playing a lot of war in either version, so the better experience imo is victoria 3... Although vic 2's politics make far more sense (cwe for vic 2 adds a mechanic so the party in charge is less likely to win the next election for example. Lots of great additions)
I wouldn’t dispute that. When you say the Vic3 version of CWE, do you mean the actual continuation by the same person, or the “Cold War Project” which actually seems to be overshadowing it?
@@SpudgunOfficial good question, I only knew about the one! I'll take a look when I get home from work, but I believe you're right in that it's probably the Cold War Project. My bad and thanks for the correction!
@@SpudgunOfficial Weird loyalty to the OG settintotrieste aside, imo CWP is better than CWE in design and progress. The only thing CWE is superior in is graphics, because CWP devs covered the game in AI-generated stuff which just looks so fucking ugly. I wouldn't play either though, since Vic3 is still totally underbaked.
That is some super underpowered USA to start without transport lol. But this is one of the most entertaining video you have. Personally, i like some larping. The boris yeltsin photos are just hilarious
@@noneofyourbusiness9489 heck even add rusisa to the list if anything this was irl switched, nato super desorganized with no sense of doing xojoined action and the arab states-russia grouping their troops to stackwipe and occupy israel
0:55 I'll give the original mod-developer some slack and just assume that he gave the Soviet Union abilities they said they had. That automatically would make it biased 'cause those motherfackers lied about *everything* xD
This was very fun video Spudgun. And don't worry about ingame larping offending someone in real life. I think at that point they need to figure out what growing up means. Cheers.
I would love to see more of this mod, must different than the DoD series. Does suck that ww3 started so soon, would love to see it play out over multiple eps with some more interactions between nations besides just one war.

Apparently an alternate history mod is more likely to get you demonetized than a modern world mod hmmm
It was bc of the disclaimer, it stated that it was just for the lulz
now its age restricted wtf
Maybe the whole equality and discrimination wasn't that good for CZcams
Who am I kidding, CZcams just automatically does it lol
I sometimes forget the fact that jaeger really did try to encircle a navy. All thanks to good fellas in the comments I keep remembering it.
I love that everyone has committed to never letting jaeger forget
Also the navy wasn't even encircled, he failed at even that.
It's our service to the community
How long has it been since that happened 💀
@@monkusaugustus4017 I think actual years at this point
>give up Crimea
>Ukraine also gives up Crimea after so you get it back
Yeltsin was the modern Bismarck.
USA complaining about a hug box brings a tear to my eye
The irony is real lol.
The Israel player is beyond larping
Ask him what his opinion of a downwards pointing Red Arrow is?
I was playing Egypt in this game, it was a lot of funny larping with my buddy Syria 😂
You are a gigachad freeing palestine 🇵🇸

Unironically how it works. Legit is what we deadass said to Iran when the Israel-Gaza war broke out

sounds like it could also use a kinda UN, similar to the galactic community in stellaris

there's a game called espiocracy being developed where you play as a spy agency for a national government during the cold war
Lmao the Israel player getting killed completely but just saying no to giving up even the slightest bit of land.
historical larp
He could've gotten away with it if he didn't mention he was taking Jordan
Friendly reminder Jaeger forgot navies have tunnels that they can move through and prevent them from being encircled.
The Yemenis learned well from the experience of Jaeger who tried to encircle a navy
The end result ended up being similar
@@toreq1127 nah the Yemenis did a far better job
I honestly thought you guys hired an Israeli statesman the guy playing Israel was so realistic lol
India immediately jumping to the defense of Israel is so real
well yeah, if there's israel on one side muslim states will go to the other
if there are muslim states india will also fight them
The Tunnel Option
Alright everybody lets see if we can hear some Yiddish down in the Sewers
What a based statement from TheBasedMan
the bloody mattress option
lmfao. The news is spreading
International Relations 101: Veto every resolution. Great video like always Spud, this one was incredibly funny
Quite crazy how they managed to re-create the metro 2033 lore
More please, this is not going to lie, one the best videos you've made. The editing is just a good balance, but the music choices and the overload of escalation happening is just so entertaining
Isreal player being a doomer player and sleezing everone to joining his war is quite in character for the nation 😂😂😂
Isreal uironically got a rise out of Spud 😂 ngl it's always fun to see someone level-headed get upset haha
Kind of hilarious that the players are instinctually forming the Alliance of the Periphery and it falls apart without doing anything
This was so damn fun, but the mod seems a bit coo complicated for a viewers pov. Still, would love to see much more
All those events and decisions - don’t worry, the player was just as confused as the viewer
@@SpudgunOfficial haha fair enough
You're not a vic player if you think it's complicated.
Guys why do I hear Yiddish through my floor ?
Reminder that the Navy tried to encircle Jaeger
While this doesn’t necessarily satisfy my Bavaria desires, this will work for now. Great video !
“Just veto everything” hahahaha

It’s a very easy one to make, I only realised because I researched the state of CWE while making this video :)

About half of my large vic 2 playtime was spent in NWO and CWE. I love this, I would highly appreciate seeing more!
First 2024 reminder that Jaeger tried to encircle the navy!
Every CWE game I have played has devolved into madness, it's like playing through a stroke
I hadn't laughed so much watching a video from you in so loooong thanks spud
Say what you want, Israel perfectly roleplayed their nation
Great video was good to have a pause from the main DD series
What a way to come in swinging heavy to the new year. That video title got me clicking as soon as i woke up
Heres what you gonna do now spud, escalate this to a series!
I can't believe I missed the upload of this somehow. This was amazing, wish there was more of this stuff.
Please make more of these CWE videos, I loved this one
I can only listen to this rn because I'm at work. The good thing is that I get to enjoy it twice
Okay now this is actually a top tier video
More videos like this!!! I love your series and other vids but that was just so fun to watch.
holy moly new spudgun video just drop
One of your best videos, I love that you used musics from Command and Conquer !
Love the music in this one. Very C&C!
This game: the blessed timeline.
Hilarious vid Spud, would love to see more
damnn this video is great, i would absolutelly love watching more CWE content
yes, make another video like this. It's a breath of fresh air
Looking foward for more of this!
I want to see more of this mod in this channel. keep it up!
Probably the funniest video on your channel.
oh a spudgun in the modern age and with ost from world in conflict, what a nice thing to watch on a Friday
This is the best example of Real Politik i’ve ever seen
I mean, that's what the cold war was in a nutshell.
@@DarthFhenix55 it was more like a thinly veiled ideological larping competition with realpolitik underneath lol
The simulations are getting too realistic.
Except Arab armies being competent lol.
@@noneofyourbusiness9489 heck even add rusisa to the list
if anything this was irl switched, nato super desorganized with no sense of doing xojoined action and the arab states-russia grouping their troops to stackwipe and occupy israel
The roleplay is peak this video
I really liked this video!
CWE RP would be crazy cool
I fuckinh love everything about this video. Especially the immersive 21th century music
great video spud!
I would LOVE to see more of this mod, especially maybe a full series MP game, albeit all those decisions and pop ups 😂
Based Arab league, Doomer Israel. What an absolute banger of a vid. Thank you President Spud!
Heuy is really good at rping as isreal i'll give him that
Love hearing that World in Conflict soundtrack.
World in Conflict Soundtrack goes so well with this, have a like.
Based Chudgun playing as Russia
To be fair the Israeli player was role playing correctly they would Nuke their enemies if they were facing total destruction
0:55 I'll give the original mod-developer some slack and just assume that he gave the Soviet Union abilities they said they had. That automatically would make it biased 'cause those motherfackers lied about *everything* xD
3 weeks of spud drought you nearly murdered me dead
I have a passionate love-hate relationship with this mod.
Which ones better, cwe or mhm?
Cant wait for spudguns TNO vic 2 mp video
Israel player had a very good LARP!
Awesome 😎 👍
The mod I usually play is CWE single player
This was like making a second American Civil War movie.
What a wonderful ending.
LOVE YOU SPUD
"he's just deathwaring"
yeah thats reality accurate Israel
Very accurate Israel gameplay
That was great
RIP Jordan.
Only functioning democracy in the whole levantine shitshow.
"This is so dumb" when your only peace option was destroying his nation. Lol
we had previously offered Gaza and Golan Heights which he rejected. This moment also received a flashback, you watched it twice
More of these please
truly cinema
Wake up babe new Spud video dropped
we need more!
This was very fun video Spudgun. And don't worry about ingame larping offending someone in real life. I think at that point they need to figure out what growing up means. Cheers.
What divergences of darkness timeline could make the modern world look like that at the start!
It's gross, horrifying even!
I would love to see more of this mod, must different than the DoD series. Does suck that ww3 started so soon, would love to see it play out over multiple eps with some more interactions between nations besides just one war.
Welcome to 2024, Spudman!
Spud’s most based video yet 😂 I died laughing when that one guy told the Israel player to hop on another apartheid state like South Africa 🤣
I can tell from the fucking accent that my dude in Brasil is Brasilian
Okay now THIS is epic
israel player kvetching is so fucking hilarious
The problem i have with the mod is its utterly torturous to upgrade factories as u have so many and they need being upgraded so fast
Let's FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
that's why mods about modern world dont work.
lol you put the H-man on isreal. ofc he was going to start a war
very cool putting the chechen war song in there.
