Feel free to make it! I love to see more people get into modding video games! I await with excitement
Nova Ferringway 21 Sep @ 12:55am 
I am curious, I am tinkering with the Idea of making my own Wings of Fire mod. There wouldnt be any issue with me making my own, would there? I plan to do things my own way so I wont be taking anything from this mod.

DenisTheRealOne 10 Sep @ 8:26am 
Why can i add a battleship as a support company:secretweapon_hoi:
Hoi4_player 1 Sep @ 8:31am 
Okay, thank you
T.S.Smith  [author] 31 Aug @ 6:55pm 
Yea sure, just make sure to credit u/LazyFurry0 because I traced the map they made, and credit me because I put in the blood, sweat, and diesel to shove it into HoI4 and name everything.
Hoi4_player 31 Aug @ 9:52am 
can I borrow the map files to use for my own mod? I'm planning to tweak it a little but I'm not very good at modding states.
DenisTheRealOne 31 Aug @ 5:58am 
Nah I want dragons with guns
HaveaFuntime 29 Aug @ 3:37am 
Great Mod however i would like that the weapons are more in line with what is actually in wing of fire (spears, fire, frost breath, etc) and maybe some more event but apart from that this mod has been great fun to play with my brother. Looking forward to future updates

I am making a new update starting... sometime? I'm home now so I got the time. I dunno I'm still trying to figure out what to do for the next update
Tootless127 5 Jul @ 6:38pm 
what they said :steamthumbsup:
StarNeverDoes 28 Jun @ 3:55pm 
Don't worry about it! Work on it when you want to and when you've got time!
T.S.Smith  [author] 28 Jun @ 10:21am 
For the concerned, I have not abandoned this, I just haven't really been able to work on it with my summer job's internet being so sub-par.
Tootless127 19 Jun @ 8:16pm 
update maybe?
Happy_wolf 12 Jun @ 2:57am 
Lol I haven't launched it yet but I'm already looking forward to it, if there's an opportunity to become a dictator for Darkstalker I'll cry🙏🙏🙏
Happy_wolf 12 Jun @ 2:50am 
Duuuude, thank you very much for do that. I will always follow the updates here. I hope your mod will become as big and cool as Equestria at War and you will have more fans:steamthumbsup:
VBN_Games 4 Jun @ 6:49am 
Nice :D
T.S.Smith  [author] 3 Jun @ 8:51am 
Update out :D
T.S.Smith  [author] 28 Apr @ 5:53pm 
An update is in the works, aiming to drop it in early June, no guarantees though
sigma52775 28 Apr @ 3:54pm 
i checked this mod out and it is amazing. i hope we get an update soon!
As a WoF fan and a HOI4 enjoyer, thank you so much for this
Holy fuck this is peak
the goober 21 Apr @ 11:01am 
HOT TAKE: when the dragon nations are finished we need a human nation lead by the invincible lord. a focus could be "utilise dragon-bite venom" or something like that.
T.S.Smith  [author] 18 Apr @ 4:19pm 
I just learned Onward got a major update, so expect a 17-year delay for the next update.
Just kidding, have the discord server lol :tobdog:

As a former Hearts of Minecraft Dev, part of my soul died seeing you say Petals of Hope.
HoM just updated today
But the compliments are appreciated, I'm happy you liked it :D
StarNeverDoes 12 Apr @ 12:02am 
I checked it out, and yeah, the open beta title did not lie lol. Imagine this mod with the level of quality that Petals of Hope has! I've got a little bit of fundamental experience modding HOI4 but I'm mostly just an enthused writer. If I can help in that regard, that'd be awesome! Looking forward to that discord comin out!
StarNeverDoes 10 Apr @ 11:03pm 
This mod heavily excites me as a long-time HOI4 fan who is getting into Wings of Fire! I can't check it out at the moment, but this sounds very promising and awesome.
T.S.Smith  [author] 5 Apr @ 1:16pm 
I figured out .dds import/export on Krita
This is going to make gfx work a billion times less painful for me
At this point in the update it's fairly irrelevant, but I'm still hyped
T.S.Smith  [author] 4 Apr @ 5:09pm 
I don't think I'll go with a protagonist system. One of the things I am (barely) doing with Flames over Pyrrhia is trying to say in some fashion that long term wars, like the War of Sandwing Succession, are not likely and/or possible in modern warfare. This would predispose to the Dragonets of Destiny to never be kidnapped as eggs. Additionally, Hearts of Iron IV is good at showing the broad strokes of history, and less so the specifics. Will I wholly rule out having a protagonist system? No. But it's very unlikely. Thanks for the idea though!
Sir Piggy 64 3 Apr @ 1:20pm 
what about a protagonist system like balefire blues's
T.S.Smith  [author] 2 Apr @ 9:10pm 
Yea I'm fixing the Rainwing tree in the next update, you also never get a third research slot or remove that -50% recruitable pop idea. It will be fixed for both paths
Sir Piggy 64 2 Apr @ 3:03pm 
can you make it so the rainwings can get off of undisturbed isolation if doing the rearmament path
Sir Piggy 64 2 Apr @ 1:19pm 
maybe you could add a protagonist system sorta like the way balefire blues deals with its protagonist because balefire blues is based of a my little pony fallout book. the way balefire blues protagonist system works allows the main character to cause stuff or cause story divergences from the canon. like one possible alternate WOF scenario is that all 5 guardians raise the DODs instead of just the normal three, maybe even have a way for gill to survive.
T.S.Smith  [author] 27 Mar @ 6:47am 
Xfidjit, Flames over Pyrrhia is still in development! I'll be releasing a discord for FoP with the next update, so you can check it out then! In the meantime, if you want to learn modding, the Hearts of Minecraft Discord is very open to teaching new modders! (If you hop in, feel free to ping me!)
Xfidjit 26 Mar @ 7:00am 
is this still being worked on? if it is i want to learn to mod HOI4 and help work on it. the main reason i havent learned modding is because i wouldnt really know where to start
T.S.Smith  [author] 22 Mar @ 10:38am 
2k Unique Viewers has been passed! Super happy with that, so I'll tell y'all this.
The next update has quite a bit more releasables, effectively 8 new ones!
Wolsin 14 Mar @ 3:36am 
Whenever the update is out, i hope i won't miss it! I'll start coding my submod then if you don't have a discord. It'll probably be for the Skywings
T.S.Smith  [author] 13 Mar @ 2:04pm 
I won't blame you for missing the focus trees, they're pretty buried in the description. Currently the only ones with complete trees are the Sandwing Sisters (you'll get to play as them if you play the Sand Kingdom), the Rain Kingdom, and the Boreal Republic. The Sea Kingdom is pretty much complete, but has a few tweaks left before I can consider it truly complete for now, and the Sand Kingdom tree is passable-ish.
(I will note however I forgot to give the Rain Kingdom a way to get more than 2 research slots, that will be fixed in the next update.)

And I'm always happy to hear ideas!
joeygrtgamer 13 Mar @ 12:42pm 
This looks epic! What nations have focus trees and mind if I give a few ideas?
Wolsin 12 Mar @ 11:13pm 
Thanks alot! I'll be sure to check it out when it's out!
T.S.Smith  [author] 12 Mar @ 6:26pm 
Offer is appreciated ^^ I'll probably release a discord server alongside the next update, so in the meanwhile, feel free to make a submod! :karmafriend:
Wolsin 11 Mar @ 2:51am 
I am a big big fan of WoF, and i'm quite experienced at modding
I'd wish to join to help you! (i could also provied some better portrait since some of my friends are artist)
Immitt42x 21 Feb @ 2:48pm 
Well I must say, that is going to be interesting. If I am reading this correctly, you are saying we will be getting a focus tree for the Sky Kingdom, which I am very much ready for. Every time I use this mod I use the Sky Kingdom so this is great news for me.
T.S.Smith  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:57am 
Aight, so I want to give an update on what I'm working on. Next update will be for the Sky Kingdom and a new city-state (Ancycria) on the Bay of a Thousand Scales. Both trees are going very well. Alongside this, I want to give 2 new basic trees. One for the compliance zones (Nocaria, Satiëm, and Nyria) and one for the releasables in the Sky Kingdom. I haven't started on either of those yet.

Alongside this, I'm hoping to get a big terrain fix made, so the big cities have urban terrain and the Great Ice Cliff doesn't look like Tokyo 2: Electric Boogaloo. It should be pretty easy, thankfully. If I'm feeling dangerous, I might try and have different urban terrain types, like in Hearts of Minecraft (If you didn't know, they have Port, Village, Urban, and Fortress terrain types, and I think that's really cool). It will also be a lot easier to war in the Mud Kingdom because it will no longer be exclusively marsh, it will have plains on the coast and in other places here and there.

(1/4)
T.S.Smith  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:57am 
Another thing I'd like to do with this update is finish the armies for FoP. As of now on my development version, I still need to give the Mud Kingdom, Sky Kingdom, their puppets, the Inland Villages, the Village Trade Compact, and the South Coast Kingdom armies. The Scorpion Den and the Rain Kingdom both intentionally do not start with an army. Navies also need to be finished, but that's something that will be finished at a later date.

(2/4)
T.S.Smith  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:57am 
While this won't be in this update, I hope eventually to add a few more countries to Flames over Pyrrhia. Currently my prime candidates for this are the area with the South Coast Kingdom, VTC, and Inland Villages. I might redo them entirely, only keeping the South Coast Kingdom, or I might not. I at least want to add more city-states like Ancycria and the Indestructible City. Currently the next candidate for a city-state would be one in the Possibility Bay region or around Skorin. Additionally, I plan on making the shape of the Night Kingdom accurate, as FoP is older than A Guide to the Dragon World.

(3/4)
T.S.Smith  [author] 18 Feb @ 7:57am 
And from that I am transitioning to my biggest pie-in-the-sky goal for Flames over Pyrrhia. I would love to add Pantala. That undertaking would be immense, and be a whole update in its own right. It would require a massive amount of bug fixing and lorework, but it would likely be, in comparative scale, one of the most amazing updates to any HoI4 mod. I may never do this, but if I do, Flames over Pyrrhia will still be called Flames over Pyrrhia. I would be very inclined though to call that hypothetical update Flames over Pantala.

TL;DR, Sky Kingdom update, cities will have the correct terrain, everyone will have a military, and I have some pretty cool plans.

If you spent the time reading this, I thank you! I hope you'll be happy with this update whenever it gets completed. I'll be trying to keep you all updated!

May your days be long and your harvests bountiful,

Interesting idea! I will keep it in mind. Also nice to hear FoP is one of your faves. :spiffo:
