AS KAR NON HIST

The pictures above are 95% outdated and are here as examples

What is it all about?

As Kar Mod is all about rebalancing vanilla into a more both experienced/inexperienced player friendly checksum as well as making non hist paths viable while keeping the spirit of vanilla in place. I value both fun of casual gameplay&competetive aspect of Hoi4. This is an essential modification if you are looking for the best Hoi4 experience out there.

Sometimes I also make updates for singleplayer related to AI which also make very small lobbies more interesting.
