We are proud to present:
Ante Rebellum:
An alternate history mod for Darkest Hour
Mod history:
We started working on the mod for HOI4 a few years ago, but after growing dissatisfaction with the community and game itself, we decided to make the switch to good old DH earlier this year. Progress has been good, and we have created most of the major countries and are working on events now.
Timeline history:
In short, the Russian revolution of 1905 topples the empire and established a left leaning socialist republic. Without the Russian empire, Germany effortlessly wins the Great War and goes on to become the hegemon of the world. Japan carves out its empire in Asia with Russia weakened, and is unchallenged, for now. Following the great depression, the USA was unable to stop the red scare and was faced with a brutal civil war that divided it along the Rockies, with the remnants of the old federalist government in the east, and a new National Integralist order in the west.
Now, in 1936, the Soviet Republic threatens to awake from its sleep and throw the world into chaos. Will the old order be able to unite and stop the red wave, or will the Soviet Republic achieve its alleged goals of a workers' utopia?

This is only an announcement, as the mod isn't ready to be released yet. However if you wish to discuss the mod further we are more active on our Discord.
Since we only have two developers, one of which is very busy, development is slow. Volunteers and input are very welcome, however keep in mind that we try to keep our scenario realistic. We have one PoD, and all events must follow that PoD, so no memes.
I will post pictures of the mod in the next post.
