  • Today on Hearts of Iron 4 I try the new Star Wars mod - Palpatines Gamble. It's very hard to make a mod like this work for HOI4 but this might be my favorite new mod of 2021 so far.

      @@Isometrix116 You are looking at this as a humanist view. As far as their creator Emperor Palpatine, the Grand Army of the Republic is the same as the Droid army of the Separatist Alliance. A means to an end, expendable and only exists to fulfill it's purpose. I will say that the Clone army was likely considered less expendable than the Droids as they were the ones to wipe out the Jedi. But ultimately the Clone army was expendable, a living means to an end.

    It's Russaan reformation which is essentially laws that demilitarised the Republic which was why they had no standing army. It also placed restaurant on building any military shops over a certain size, certain types of weapons and with certain types of thrusters. It's like the British naval restrictions in regular HOI4 but on steroids.
