The mod focuses exclusively on recreating North America. The action begins in the year 2275. In Old World Blues we take part in a dynamic war between various well-known Fallout factions. All have been meticulously recreated, receiving historical characters, units and their own technologies.
The mod is superbly designed. The authors managed to successfully achieve a post-apocalyptic setting, while maintaining the depth of gameplay typical of Hearts of Iron IV. HoI4 has quite a few mods available, but most of them only offer realistic historical settings. Projects that translate the action into fictional settings are very rare, adding to the appeal of Old World Blues.
The project currently presents a high level of refinement and has a very extensive content., but the authors are constantly working on its development. This year, among other things, a considerable set of new units has been introduced, the list of events has been expanded, and the technology trees have been expanded.
