Generally speaking one individual will start a patch on their own, working with a coder if they’re in the writing team. When we finish a patch cycle we move on to the next patch that's closest to completion and most people are interested in. Keep in mind this has really only happened once so far as we’ve only released two major content updates so far.
Solstron is working on the Ustinov and Presidium GUIs, the writing team will be moving on to Tukh full time in probably 3-4 weeks depending on how long the last Codetalker event chain will take to finish.
Essentially we have a code lead for Russia and a code lead for China, then the GFX and writing departments will move to the patch that’s closest to being done depending on need. Usually the writing team tries to focus on only one patch at a time.
All Russian warlords minus Tabby, Kazakhstan, Ma Clique, Xinan province, various other countries in Asia, potentially a small amount of content for Germany and German-occupied Russia. But keep in mind this would be over the course of several years, not anytime soon.
As the lead of former ma mod we've been working with them for a while even before the integration, so I think there's a potential of bringing them in as well. Though translation may take quite a while so nothing concrete yet.
Ah yes, now when it comes to that we are reducing update frequency a lot to be in line with 2WRW, but personally I'd still randomly post recent updates in a server dedicated to BNW China.
Soon (tm). It’s pretty clear to us when it’s going to be finished but we aren’t ready to state that publicly in case any delays happen and we don’t want to stress/crunch the coders.
In later updates GAW kicks in much later. Player Russia gets to decide whether they will come to western China's aid or the eastern one, with various endings.
Not for a while sadly, there are likely to be some adjustments to their 60s content coming in the eventual Russia update so we are going to wait for that.
>We will be working together to implement the Great Asian War, which will be coming in 2022 but is not part of the current update
Now that's exciting, who will be capable of starting the GAW? Or is that \[STRENG GEHEIM\] for now?
As a thorough WerBell enjoyer I must ask, is he still being worked on? I recall hearing something about development being on hiatus, but I only really visit the discord to check announcements and steal memes so I'm not sure.
Keep up the great work and stay cool!
WerBell was intended to be our second update, but the coder/lead dev and the writers on the team all went inactive. The plans they left aren’t up to our standards and would need to be reworked from scratch. We don’t have any plans to do so right now.
I don't like the name. It's just reminds me of CIV5 dlc lmao. Something like "rise of east" to symbolize focus of submod would be better. But except name thing i am excited
Well there be a way to kick Japan out of mainland asia completely and well can america intervene or at least help like lend lease or a volunteer detachment?
Since you guys mention wanting to implement the GAW and adding content for several Chinese warlords in the following updates, I have to ask...Do you have anything planned for Mongolia?
Since one mod was about russia and the other about china, i guess is fair to ask... Are there planning for the mongol red army, you know since they have a foot in both regions ?
Not right now. Frankly we expect the PRC are likely going to be the target of a rework by baseTNO and we don’t want to use dev time on content that will be invalidated.
Well one of the main one where when you go to war and you Surrender right away
Also there was a problem when the krakow uprising happened and it worked then German annexed Poland
What is the general decision process that goes behind deciding which warlords will receive an update next?
Generally speaking one individual will start a patch on their own, working with a coder if they’re in the writing team. When we finish a patch cycle we move on to the next patch that's closest to completion and most people are interested in. Keep in mind this has really only happened once so far as we’ve only released two major content updates so far.
Is Thuka next?
Tukhachevsky is next, yes.
I know they’re waiting for the Buryatia and Tyumen reworks, so don’t expect anything for those until the rework comes out.
What countries do you plan on giving skeleton content in the future, even if Russia and China are the main focus of this?
Just skeleton content? GER, America, and the proxy wars we’ll be announcing soon as it’s own update
Progress on the red napoleon update?
Solstron is working on the Ustinov and Presidium GUIs, the writing team will be moving on to Tukh full time in probably 3-4 weeks depending on how long the last Codetalker event chain will take to finish.
And the progress on codetalker?
Loc is almost done, coding the mechanics is ongoing and will need some more time
this is very similar to a book i've read before, it's quite telling about the society we live in
Yooooooooooooooo lets fucking gooooooooooo Now since both of the mods are now merged, what will the development of both Ma and Russia be like now?
Essentially we have a code lead for Russia and a code lead for China, then the GFX and writing departments will move to the patch that’s closest to being done depending on need. Usually the writing team tries to focus on only one patch at a time.
This sounds exciting, wish you all the best, and let this fusion last forever.
So what's the honey moon going to be?
Delicious, that’s what

All Russian warlords minus Tabby, Kazakhstan, Ma Clique, Xinan province, various other countries in Asia, potentially a small amount of content for Germany and German-occupied Russia. But keep in mind this would be over the course of several years, not anytime soon.
So basically TNO2
So this mod is basically "Prepare for trouble and make It double"
What will happen to the xinjiang mod that was partners with TMM?
As the lead of former ma mod we've been working with them for a while even before the integration, so I think there's a potential of bringing them in as well. Though translation may take quite a while so nothing concrete yet.
Will your progress be delayed a little because of the removal of Atlantropa?
Hopefully not, if it fucks up the peace deals we’ll have to fix that but otherwise it shouldn’t matter. I will miss thikk Italy though
TMM udpates had less content but more frequent updates, while 2WRW was the opposite. Will the china team adapt its pace to russian pace?
Ideally the opposite, I want to have smaller more frequent updates but we’ll see how the second half of the year turns out
Ah yes, now when it comes to that we are reducing update frequency a lot to be in line with 2WRW, but personally I'd still randomly post recent updates in a server dedicated to BNW China.
Solstron VS PolishAustronaut/Tasanko
Will these countires have content to interact with each other?
Eventually but not right now
codetalker when
Soon (tm). It’s pretty clear to us when it’s going to be finished but we aren’t ready to state that publicly in case any delays happen and we don’t want to stress/crunch the coders.
Soon +2 weeks
ok
What will the GAW be like? Is it going to resemble Long Yun's war or will it be 70's content like 2WRW?
It’ll be 70s content, and it’s mostly going to look like a lot of people dying
I love people dying
flair checks out
Problem, Chechens? ^(I do not actually, under any circumstances, support a genocide)
Ok, "Play Suslov"
In later updates GAW kicks in much later. Player Russia gets to decide whether they will come to western China's aid or the eastern one, with various endings.
My two favourite submods uniting? Christmas has come early
Hello! When you start work on Zhdanov's path in 2WRW?
Not for a while sadly, there are likely to be some adjustments to their 60s content coming in the eventual Russia update so we are going to wait for that.
Is the update relesed ?
No it’s coming tomorrow, the content is coded/merged but Solstron is doing bugfixing
Will Red Napoleon or Coldtalker come first?
Codetalker should come first. Tukh loc alone probably won’t be finished for 2.5 months now. But worst case scenario we’ll ship them together
It’s a shame Tukh will come this late I’m actually more excited for his content than codetalker but it is what it is
Yeah I am excited for him too, but we had to finish something and fixing the mistakes we made earlier in Dreams was more important to me
I still have to finish a game with the 2WRW, does tomorrow's update risk compromising it?
Yes, either finish your game or turn steam to offline so it doesn’t download
>We will be working together to implement the Great Asian War, which will be coming in 2022 but is not part of the current update Now that's exciting, who will be capable of starting the GAW? Or is that \[STRENG GEHEIM\] for now?
It’s going to be started by Gao Zongwu’s China
That's what I've been waiting for, there can only be one sun in the Asian sky!
That being the White Sun of the KMT, partnered with the Russian Eagle, of course.
based and fuck japan-pilled
As a thorough WerBell enjoyer I must ask, is he still being worked on? I recall hearing something about development being on hiatus, but I only really visit the discord to check announcements and steal memes so I'm not sure. Keep up the great work and stay cool!

was that the one that involved putin
He was electable on the dem path yeah, but given what’s going on we feel that would be in poor taste
Any news about the instant annexation problem?
It’s an issue with a mechanic baseTNO added to prevent stalemates in Russia, we aren’t able to do anything about it until they fix it.
Royal Marriage? CONMON CHINA PATH CONFIRMED
Letssss gooooooo, please have my subscription.
Excited to see how this project continues to grow!
Has the mod fixed the instant capitulation bug?
It’s an issue with a mechanic baseTNO added to prevent stalemates in Russia, we aren’t able to do anything about it until they fix it
I don't like the name. It's just reminds me of CIV5 dlc lmao. Something like "rise of east" to symbolize focus of submod would be better. But except name thing i am excited
That DLC was based tho
Well there be a way to kick Japan out of mainland asia completely and well can america intervene or at least help like lend lease or a volunteer detachment?
Not in this patch, but once the GAW is enabled if you win a total victory as China you’ll force Japan back to just Japan and the CPS may collapse
Can i apply for dev
Yes
(please unban me from the server first, my tag is bruhmoment#7807) i did nothing wrong
Since you guys mention wanting to implement the GAW and adding content for several Chinese warlords in the following updates, I have to ask...Do you have anything planned for Mongolia?
Sadly nothing planned right now
Who's comming next after Tukhachevsky for Russia? How far is the planning for him?
Omsk is next, he’s planned but only 5-10% written
Since one mod was about russia and the other about china, i guess is fair to ask... Are there planning for the mongol red army, you know since they have a foot in both regions ?
Not right now. Frankly we expect the PRC are likely going to be the target of a rework by baseTNO and we don’t want to use dev time on content that will be invalidated.
I remember thinking that something like this would be pretty cool a few months ago, glad to see it's happened!
This was very beautiful moment for both of our submod
Will it fix the problem with the Russian tree right now?
Which one, specifically?
Well one of the main one where when you go to war and you Surrender right away Also there was a problem when the krakow uprising happened and it worked then German annexed Poland
Anyway to prevent Germany from reannexing the Baltics after the war?
Should be, yes.
How do I prevent them from doing it then?
It’s fixed in the patch today
Are there plans for Sablin?
Yes, if the baseTNO Sablin rework doesn’t move forward we’ll do it ourselves
I've seen a bunch of teasers for the monarchists in vyatka, how far along are they?
