Equestria at War (Video Game)	comment	Equestria at War is a Game Mod for Paradox Interactive's Grand Strategy Game Hearts of Iron IV and a Fan Game of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that blends the detailed World War II and political simulation of Hearts of Iron IV with a modified, grimmer version of the My Little Pony setting and storyline.Released in July 2017, Equestria at War has grown to be one of the most comprehensive mods for HOI4. With a custom-made map, 60+ countries with 30+ unique focus trees, racial tech trees and units, a huge variety of complex interweaving events, and more custom icons and portraits than the entire base game, it shouldn't exist, but it somehow does.It can be downloaded on the Steam Workshop and has two wikis available in English and Russian.note An older English wiki, hosted on Fandom, is no longer officially supported by the mod developers.See also Balefire Blues, a Fallout: Equestria-based submod of EAW that's also a crossover with another famous HOI4 mod, Old World Blues.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: While it's a given that a war game set in the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic would be darker and edgier than the show, it's also arguably darker and edgier than unmodified Hearts of Iron 4, with more horrific depictions of crimes against sapient life, such as the Longswordian Genocide, the Dread League's mission to exterminate all life, and nuclear weapons that actually reduce a state's population and leave long-lasting fallout.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_177a6464	type	Genre Shift
Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: For both Hearts of Iron and MLP. For MLP:FIM, its characters are in a world akin to ours on the eve of World War II, and thus problems aren't going to be solved by the magic of friendship as opposed to war, diplomacy and economics. Once you step out of the Pony-Changeling conflict, the mod makes heavy use of Fantasy Counterpart Culture and No Historical Figures Were Harmed (Kingfisher is obviously Huey Long and Lavender Berry is Lavrentiy Beria for instance) to see what would happen in a Hearts of Iron game if our world's nations, problems and figures were in a fantasy setting while inhabiting the bodies of mythical creatures. And within the mod, the conflict between the Arcturian Order and Dread League is straight up fantasy, with both nations having been lost time and centuries behind anyone in terms of scientific advancement and technology. With some elements of mystery, it's almost closer to the spirit of the show.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_17975d1b	comment	Unstable Equilibrium: Leave any expansionist nation/faction alone for long enough, and they will go through your best troops like a hot knife through butter when they eventually come knocking on your door. If they are passive after reaching a certain point instead, cross that faction off your "to conquer" list as they likely have around 300-500 divisions worth of troops. The Herzland regions are very guilty of this, as nothing short having every other vassal simultaneously declare war on the Imperial Heartlands alone like the aftermath of Ferdinand Dawnclaw's coup can make the match-up remotely even due to how underdeveloped they are in comparison. If you are playing as a vassal state, once you see one of your fellow peers get annexed, kiss goodbye to your chances of victory and play another country as you are wasting your time.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_19b6f396	type	Alternate Timeline
Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_19b6f396	comment	Alternate Timeline: The events of FIM Seasons 1 to 5 still happened as per normal. The timeline divergence happens at Season 6. Chrysalis never tried to replace the Mane 6, and Starlight Glimmer never led a party to defeat her, meaning that the Season 6 finale never happened. Chrysalis has instead been working hard to industrialise, unite and militarise the Changeling Hives, going for a much more...direct approach. In turn, Starlight Glimmer eventually grew uncomfortable with her place with the Mane 6 without the events of the Season 6 finale to quell her doubts as a leader and hero. She thanked Twilight Sparkle for her tutelage and journeyed off to support Friendship and Harmony in her own way. Thorax never met Spike and is currently advocating for a system of trading goods with other nations for love. The Storm King never invaded Equestria, and was defeated by the Mane 6 and the Hippogriffian Air Force in the battle of Ain Trotgourait. It is also evidenced by Fizzlepop Berrytwist (formerly Tempest Shadow) being a General and a Military High Command candidate for Equestria at the start. Twilight's School of Friendship has been established as per Season 8 with its events playing out. Though without the support of the reformed changelings and Starlight Glimmer, it does not perform quite as well. The Student 6 become just the Student 5 with Ocellus being trained as an Ost-Kommando in Vesalipolis instead. After the events of Season 8's finale, the non-ponies return to their respective nations to serve as various Political Advisors instead of staying in Equestria. It is however noted that they spilt up to spread Equestrian Harmony as shown from their buffs, sometimes acting as delegates for Equestria. Season 9 isn't canon as the darker setting convinced the Royal Sisters to stay and the defeated villains not coming back. Sombra's return and takeover of the Crystal Empire is a completely separate event which isn't canon anyway. The Royal Sisters abdicating the throne to Twilight takes place only after a secret route which require playing as the Changelings and annexing Equestria or one of its successor states.

The Knightly Order of Hellquill is a Griffonian Empire knightly order founded to fight against the ponies of the Riverlands. They were granted their captured territory as a reward for their actions. The County of Longsword is formed from a similar Knightly Order as Hellquill, and is ruled by Count Pallas Dusktalon after gaining its independence. The Order of Opinicus is a Knightly Order founded by the Empire in the Free Towns of Gryphus to defend their Empire's southern border. Even after Gryphus declared independence from the Empire, the Order persisted and are as fanatical as ever.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: While the continent of Equus may still disguise its underlying instability through its seemingly perfect exterior, Griffonia had already ditched the faÃ§ade and fallen deep into chaos; the continent is filled with radical revolutionaries, cruel bandits, supremacist fanatics, despotic autocrats, ambitious imperialists, bitter revanchists, and worse. Warfare, bloodshed, and even crueler acts are all but inevitable on Griffonia. Zebrica isn't much better either. Many of their nations are left in ruins due to being the Storm King's first victims in his attempt at world conquest. Warring factions and crime lords are seizing power left and right while the nations that are not ruined by the Storm King only just came out of isolation only to land themselves in a hostile political landscape.

Where possible, these are built on characters and concepts that existed in some form in the original show; the kirin village from the original show is now the entire nation of Kiria, with a plot revolving around the effects of the Silence and different characters and factions competing over the new shape their society should take, as Autumn Blaze, the protagonist from that episode, trying to balance the ideals of Harmony with the compromises of politics and the demands of modernization.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_2937826d	comment	Hurricane of Puns: Fitting with the source material, a truly staggering number of place names are puns that combine a real world place name and a word associated with the primary species inhabiting the place, even those that never showed up in the show, such as Thessaloneighki (Thessaloniki) or Feathisia (Frisia). This also extends beyond places - characters, design companies, and sometimes even equipment items will also incorporate similar puns. Many Zebra places and names are based on real locations or names but with a letter, usually the first letter, replaced with a "Z", such as Congo -> Zongo or Hamilcar Barca -> Zamilcar Zarca.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Magical infantry equipment. While it has significantly more soft and hard attack and breakthrough than standard infantry equipment, its production cost is much higher, its reliability is much lower until relatively late models come into play, its defense is lower, and magical equipment requires magical crystals in addition to steel to produce. While steel is relatively spread out and widely available, only a few countries like the Crystal Empire and Diamond Mountain produce any significant amount of magic crystals. On top of this common support companies like military police and engineers use regular infantry equipment and have no magical version, unlike regular infantry, special forces, and motorized/mechanized infantry, meaning that even an industrialized country with a surplus of crystals cannot fully replace standard infantry equipment with magical. Conversely, a pony or changeling country that has researched magical infantry equipment cannot fully abandon it afterwards because their special mage and infiltrator companies will convert from regular to magical infantry equipment once magical infantry equipment has been researched, and unlike special forces, cannot be switched between the two.

Which said, their mostly offscreen history and more fractious, morally-grey attitudes arguably make them more suited to non-canonical expansion. With the release of Zebrica, the titular continent is dominated by Zebras (which is represented by only one side character in show canon) and various other one-shot races along with the ones introduced in the 2017 movie. This leaves another sandbox for the writers to play with, resulting in many previously unthinkable paths.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Changelings vs Olenia a battle so one-sided, that the non-historical option deliberately holds back the Changelings to give players a chance to play around with the rich Olenian content that would be otherwise wasted. The same logic applies when it comes to the polar bears to their west due to being downright primitive. Most Changelings players take over these two countries first before invading Equestria and/or the Crystal Empire. On the flip side, an Olenian player who knows what they are doing can turn what looks like a losing battle into the deer curb stomping the changelings.

It probably helps that ponies are just too nice to easily replicate many of the failures of historical communism. The ponies of the Socialist Republic of Longsword, on overthrowing their griffon oppressors, show tolerance, acceptance and egalitarianism to the griffons despite centuries of oppression and even attempted genocide. The Socialist Republic of Skynavia is a strongly democratic socialist country in the far north of Griffonia. They reject authoritarianism of all sorts, even communist authoritarianism.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_52475ffd	comment	Cutting Off the Branches: The "Historical AI" option in the starting screen usually gives what was meant to be the true path each faction took along with the results if the player's faction doesn't meddle in it, making every other outcome Alternate Timelines. Considering that most factions has at least two outcomes, this setting prevents the player from having to constantly guess what is going to happen to his future opponents. Some examples include: "The Great War" being an analogue to WW2 means that the Changelings (Nazi Germany) will turn Olenia (Poland) and the Polar Bears into their puppets. While they would make gains on Equestria and the Crystal Empire (Britain, France and USA), Stalliongrad (USSR) would usually enter the war and help turn the tide, resulting in the Changelings' defeat. Olenia would be restored while the Changelings will be led by Thorax, representing post-WW2 Germany. However, the lands are actually restored to their pre-war borders instead of being split in two between the victors. The Dread League will successfully defeat the Arcturian Order. Rosa Maledicta is the Queen of Bones, meaning that she chose to side with the Society of Bones instead of the Coven of Blood. Wingbardy will be the dominant power in the south with Beakolini as Prime Minister and will choose to annex Griffonstone. When the River Coalition becomes the River Federation, at least one of the member states will quit to avoid being annexed. Greneclyf fails to join the River Coalition and becomes a socialist state. Archon Eros VII is chosen as regent of the Griffonian Empire. Hippogriffia remains Harmonic, is defeated by Colthage and Chiropterra in the North Zebrican War, and subsequently joins the United Ponies Alliance and helps Equestria secure Harmony on Equus.

Any attempt to conquer it by any of its much larger neighbours (and even, say, the Griffonian Empire) is sure to rake in dozens of thousands of casualties on each side, since maneuvering past their positions generally isn't an option. Even then, unless the attacker outnumbers them heavily, Romau can actually turn the tide and drive the enemy back far beyond city limits. In any case, Romau will inevitably put up a tougher fight than either of its much larger neighbours Yale and Greifmarschen.

Some cultures do not take inspiration from the 1930s and are in fact modeled after ancient and medieval ones. Equestria: United States mixed with the United Kingdom Changelings: Nazi Germany Olenia: Scandinavia (especially Finland and Norway) Yakyakistan: Mongolia Buffalo Chiefdom: Native Americans Feathisia: Netherlands Griffonian Empire: Holy Roman Empire, with a dash of latter-day Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia. New Mareland: Australia mixed with Depression-era America Stalliongrad: The USSR. Aquileia: France Wingbardy, Talouse and Francistria: Italy mixed with the Kingdom of the Lombards River Republic: Croatia The River Socialist Union they can form in turn is akin to Socialist Yugoslavia Lake City: Japan and Weimar Germany. Their region, city, and division names are however based on Serbia. Nimbusia: Ancient Athens and Ancient Sparta. PÃ²naidhean: Scotland and Ireland Gryphian Host: Ukraine (specifically, the old Cossacks) Griffonian Republic: Nationalist China, in particular the Kuomintang under Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Culture-wise, the region they inhabit at game start (Cloudbury) is Danish. Socialist Republic of Skynavia: Communist China in terms of splitting from the Griffonian Republic. Their government is heavily modeled off the Spanish Popular Front of the 1930s. Greifwald: Luxembourg by default, becomes Free Territory of Ukraine if they go communist. Prywhen/Brodfeld: Romania Rumare: Wales Longsword and Hellquill: Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, especially as ruled by the Livonian and Teutonic Orders. Somewhat like the Changelings, Hellquill also has Nazi Germany aspects Asterion: Greece Gryphus: Poland Sicameon: Spain Baltimare: Revolutionary Catalonia, the libertarian socialist side of Baltimare in particular Confederation of Southern States: Confederate States of America Free City of Romau: The Papal States and the Vatican with a dash of Ancient Rome Aztlan Free State/Aztlan Empire: The Aztecs with a dash of mid-20th century Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras). Kiria: Qing China Sen Kinh: Vietnam Khamrin: Cambodia Hindian states: India, with the two Yarildoms of Chital and Sambar blending in the Danelaw. Horses in general: various Arabic cultures Saddle Arabia: Saudi Arabia Colthage: Carthage + Latin America (especially Mexico and Chile) Macawia: Brazil Llambet: Tibet Stagpal: Nepal Quaggatai: Steppe Khanates in general, Chagatai Khanate in particular Maregypt: Kingdom of Egypt in the first half of 20th century Abyssinia: Ethiopian Empire in 1930s Yemane: Yemen Asstyria: Ancient Assyria Central Zebrican Empire: Central African Empire Timbucktu: Medieval kingdom of Mali Twizanyika: Tanganyika Idowu and Istermano: Philippines Delanigo: Thailand Feathisian South Zebrides: Dutch East Indies Maretonia and Aestlonia: Babylon and Estonia

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6	comment	Enemy Mine: The Kingdom of Brodfeld (Royalist Pryhwen) can call on Blackrock's Bandits for aid against the communists. While they obviously don't care for the slaving, plundering bandits, and Blackrock herself is no fan of nobles, they both have a vested interest in preventing communism from gaining a foothold. The Griffonian Empire can be on the receiving end of the Entente, Republican Pact and Karthinian Pact all at once, despite being on different factions which essentially guarantees that they will face each other afterwards. Makes sense as practically every member of those factions are breakaways from the Griffonian Empire and want nothing more than to see it ground to dust for good in order to keep their independence. On top of all of that, a River Republic-led River Coalition or Federation has a few paths that involve aggression against or expansion into the Empire, allowing them to join in on the "festivities" alongside the aforementioned factions, and opening up the war to include not only the northern and southern borders, but the entirety of the Griffonian Empire's eastern border as well: the Harmonist "Golden Curtain" path, which involves the creation of a large bloc in Eastern Griffonia specifically to counter the resurgent Empire, and the Non-aligned "Phoenix Programme," wherein the River Republic's intelligence agency, the Office of Harmonic Services, takes power from the democratic government in order to address the same threat. If King Sombra takes over the Crystal Empire, he can be your unlikely ally when Queen Chrysalis initiates the Great War. This is because her focus gives annex war goals to both the Crystal Empire and Equestria. She is more likely fulfil both of them if King Sombra doesn't choose her as his wife and/or doesn't include her in the Grey Pact.

If the expansionist, imperialistic Sinister Serov is elected as secretary of Stalliongrad, the country will switch to a darker shade of red on the map. Sombra's version of the Crystal Empire is a blackish-purple instead of the bright purple of the normal Crystal Empire. Protectorates of the Changeling Lands are all a shade of off-black.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1	comment	Crutch Character: Some countries give you high level generals and field marshals at the start of the game, but will soon enough get removed, which makes some focuses which give you generals and marshals to be Suspicious Video-Game Generosity because chances are you are going to need them despite apparently you don't. Albert Berthelot is a level 6 Marshal in Aquileia, but he dies shortly before you can even make use of him. Also from Aquilea, LÃ©onard Rodier will stick with you even if you are going Harmonic path. However, he will leave you later once you have pacified the royalists unless you are going the Supremacist path that is. President-Marshal Kemerskai will probably see you through almost the whole Griffonian Republic storyline until right at the end when he passes away. Chances are you already have some generals powerful enough to replace him. In a particularly cruel example, the Griffonian Empire starts off hosting a Changeling military attachÃ© mission;. It sports two competent playable generals (Synovial and Thranx), a division of high-end Changeling Panzergrenadiere with a corresponding (albeit locked) division template, a dedicated focus tree specialising in massively expanding military cooperation, and positive status effects on research and army experience. This is a gods-send for the impoverished, badly developed and woefully underpowered empire. But thanks to the empire's succession crisis, the player will (in historical mode, at least) almost never be able to put the changelings to good use on the battlefield before Chrysalis orders them back home at the first sign of trouble on the Equestrian continent, taking back all the attachÃ©'s perks and permanently locking off the empire's - at best half-finished - changeling focus tree. The player can at the very least try to retain General Thranx when the latter defects to the Griffons, but even that will only result in destroying Griffonian-Changeling relations. Thranx himself will fall victim to Chrysalis' assassins only a few days later, leaving you off even worse.

Blackrock's Bandits can enter the Prywhen Civil War by declaring war on both sides, and with all the mercenaries they can hire, emerge victorious by conquering both the monarchists and the communists. The Reformisten, one of three factions in Longswordian civil war, despite starting with the most populous and industrial state under the control, start with by far the least divisions, and are usually the first faction to fold. They can still win, but it takes a very good player to do so. The monarchists of Lake City revere the heir of a barely remembered ancient emperor. In the midst of the chaotic military-controlled Lake City elections, the distracted nation is taken completely by surprise when the monarchists launch a coup attempt.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_82d2715f	comment	Magitek: Starting around 1010, countries start developing powerful magical rifles that use magical crystal cartridges to shoot powerful magical blasts that make them significantly more potent than standard firearms, albeit at the cost of being less reliable until the technology gets a chance to mature. Starting around 1017 or 1018, similar innovations come to tanks, artillery, and warships. By the 1020s, magic crystal goes from a niche resource used only for fancy rifles and nuclear weapons to a vital military resource that forms a basis for nearly all modern military equipment. As a part of the improved technology tree in the mod, countries also get an additional Race-specific technology screen. These generally involve using race-specific magic or powers to enhance the military/industrial capabilities of the country, such as improving industry with Griffon machine enchantments, improving strategic planning with Deer seers, and improving air combat capabilities with Pegasi weather manipulation. These trees also generally involve racially-unique special forces and/or support companies.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_b0855ef3	comment	No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Many. Especially many of the Fantasy Counterpart Culture nations are full of ministers, leaders, generals and scientists inspired by their real life equivalent: Caramel Marks and Fire Angel, the authors of the Social Justice Party Manifesto, the future ideological basis of communism, are based on Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Wingbardian Fascist leader Giulio Beakolini is pretty blatantly based on Benito Mussolini. King Garibald Talonuel III of Wingbardy is a griffon version of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. Pretty much the entire lineup of generals in Wingbardy correspond to real Italian generals, with Griffonized portraits and names altered with a "G" at the start of their name. (e.g. Italo Balbo -> Gitalo Galbo) The Rozenkamp brothers are based on the Strasser brothers, and are likewise Commie Nazis that advocate for a centrally planned worker's republic that is also ultranationalist. Cricket Chafer, the communist leader for the South-Eastern Socialist Republic (Baltimare after it wins the War in the South), is based on Nikita Khrushchev. His strangely realistic portrait is based on a memetic photograph of Khrushchev holding a cob of corn. Most of the Gryphian Host leaders correspond to historical leaders of Ukrainian and Cossack history: Harmonic leader Borad Gfifnitsky is based on Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky who led the Cossack uprisings against Poland, the Supremacist leader Yeven Krawvelets is based on the OUN founder Yevhen Konovalets, the Communist leader Cornilo Khurshevich is another take on Nikita Khrushchev with a reference to his memetic corn obsessions, and the non-aligned counter-coup path leader Pavel Vereskopadsy is based on Pavel Skoropadsky who briefly led post-WWI independent Ukraine, mixed with a little of his many great uncle Hetman Ivan Skoropadsky. Only Caras Bulba, the initial non-aligned Host leader who dies very early, is not based on any historical person, but on the book Taras Bulba which is about the romanticized depiction of Cossacks. The totalitarian leader for the South-Eastern Socialist Republic, Lavender Berry, is based on Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. President-Marshal Kemerskai is a Composite Character of Chinese revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat-sen and military dictator Chiang Kai-shek. His name and title, meanwhile, allude to Alexander Kerensky, Minister-Chairman of the short-lived Russian Provisional Government. One of the generals for the Socialist Republic of Longsword is named Abba Povner, a reference to Abba Kovner, a Jewish partisan in World War II. The anarchist leader for Greifwald, Nestor Bernier, shares his name with famous Ukrainian anarchist Nestor Makhno. The name of the Supremacist leader of Farbrook, Hermane Gering, is based on Luftwaffe chief Hermann GÃ¶ring. Aside from the name and ideology, little else is shared between the two however. Olenian Field Marshal Carl Gustav Mantlerhim is based on famous Finnish general Carl Gustaf Mannerheim. The leader of the Changeling protectorate for Olenia is named Vidkun Hjortsling. The head of state of the secessionist Confederation of Southern States is named J. D. Neighvis, a parody of Confederate president Jefferson Finis Davis. The hardline segregationist leader of New Mareland, Picket Fence, is loosely based on the hardline segregationist US politicians George Wallace and Strom Thurmond. The Kingfisher, the charismatic politician of New Mareland, bears a suspicious similarity to a certain Huey Long. Hippogriffian communist Posada clearly takes some reference from infamous Trotskist J. Posadas, especially his affinity for the nuclear. Hippogriffian supremacist leader Crack Lightning is largely based on America Firster, isolationist, and famous pilot Charles Lindburgh.

The Changelings are analogues to Germany, who are revanchist and desire conquest, while Equestria is the analogue of the European Allies (France and Britain), who are surprised by the Changeling invasion despite having witnessed their invasion of Olenia beforehand (the Changeling invasion of Olenia in this case could be seen as an analogue of the German invasion of Poland). The Griffonian revolution that tore apart the empire before being cut down is very reminiscent of the Revolutions of 1848. The Aquileian Revolution is strongly reminiscent of The French Revolution.

The Three Archons are an indirect shoutout to the Three Pashas. Streamer Conquering History Games is a general in Stalliongrad. One of the loading screen quotes is Apple Bloom saying "Buy some war bonds!" One of the hireable government officials is the Nuclear Scientist, that gives a boost to researching nukes. In the case of Equestria, this role is filled by Fluttershy! The Barrad Magocracy is ruled over by a group of five amoral researchers, carving up the land with their often pointless experiments, and who lobotomize people to build their army. The only difference between them and the Think Tank is they haven't put their brains in jars. In the Greater Equestrian Union route for General Secretary Dark Wing in Stalliongrad, one of the military focuses is called Let's Get Dangerous. The Communist leader for Diamond Mountain, the Diamond Dog nation, is Clifford the Red. Several names and concepts are borrowed from Warhammer 40,000, ranging from the Changeling city of Vraks to the Solar Empire going full Imperial Cult under the God Empress path. There are also shoutouts to the original Warhammer in the form of multiple Griffon Knightly Orders, who name themselves things like the Order of the Panther, the Order of the Blazing Sun, and more. The name of a theorist in Gryphus is "Grzegorz BrzÄ™czyszczykiewicz", which is a popular Polish meme originating from a Polish comedy film named How I Unleashed World War II. One of the Olenian military ministers is named "Spurdo S. Perkele", referencing the Finnish memes Spurdo SpÃ¤rde and Perkele. The faction of the Griffonian Empire and its vassals is called the Reichspakt. The feuding House Eyrie and House Erie both have banners featuring a moon and falcon. One of the major advisors for Equestria is Dotted Line, who publishes a paper that kickstarts Equestria modernizing its military. He's also the protagonist of the Equestrian Civil Service fanfics. An admiral for Equestria is pretty clearly a poinified Yuudachi. Sooty is somehow a general for the Changelings. The first focus in Erebus' Ducal path has its description taken directly from the Guardian's speech in the intro of Ultima VII (with Brittania substituted with Greifenmarschen). One of Skyfall leaders is a brilliant mind who left the chemical company and became a teacher, only to enter the criminal world via a student and eventually became a full-blown kingpin. His portrait features a pork pie hat and glasses, and the leaders' name is Walter. The head of state of Azir (a desert nation) is clearly based on a certain sand-hating Padawan. Arms Dealer Pea Shooter, Tobuck's starting leader, is visually and background-wise based off of Yuri Orlov. Taous bin Hanbal, leader of Maretonia, looks like a certain half-gold half-grey demigod.

Republican Pact: An alliance created by the Griffonian Republic aimed at overthrowing the Griffonian Empire. United Ponies Alliance: Formed by Equestria to defend against the Changelings, bringing together horses, commie horses, sparkling horses and Australian horses. Deer and Yaks can also be included. River Coalition: An alliance of nations located in Eastern Griffonia, created over a hundred years ago to protect against invasions by griffon armies. All its member countries have a shared focus tree which works towards uniting the Coalition into The Federation. If the River Federation is established, the alliance itself is renamed the East Griffonia Treaty Organisation. Karthinian Pact: An alliance of Southern Griffonian nations, headed by Wingbardy. Its ideological composition can be any of the four ideologies, as Wingbardy usually retains the faction no matter the ideology they go down. Grey Pact: Headed by a Crystal Empire ruled by King Sombra, it is essentially Equestria's Legion of Doom. Members can include Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and Sinister Serov. Concordat of Free Nations: Headed by Asterion. It is an alliance of nations opposing the Karthinian Pact, based in the south of Griffonia. Griffonian People's Front: An alliance consisting of socialist states in the Evi Valley led by the Griffonian Liberation Army. Revintern: An alliance formed by Revolutionary North Zebrica (communist Hippogriffia) and a communist United Lands of Northern Zebrica (Tobuck under Wallnut Drive). Deerlaw Restorationists and All-Hindian National Bloc: Two alliances formed by Oleno-Hindian and native Hindian states to expand the Deerlaw and restore native rule across the entirety of Hindia, respectively. The two will go to war in the Hindian Wars; after one side is defeated, the other also collapses, its members declaring war on each other until only one country is left to unify Hindia. Ancient Pact: An alliance of the centaur Kingdom of Senturya and the gargoyle Kingdom of Gargiloya.

In this case, they will proclaim the creation of the Kingdom of Cloudbury-Herzland. If you have taken over the world, you will receive a special option to preemptively declare war on the Dread League before they can unleash the Black Crusade to tie up that loose end immediately and finish the game, since it's impossible to manually justify a war goal on the Dread League.

There are various explanations provided ranging from telekinesis (unicorns), claws (griffons, hippogriffs, and dragons) to technological adaptation and modification (non-unicorn ponies, yaks, and other hooved animals). Weapons can also be fired from the mouth or strapped to the side like Fallout: Equestria. There is also some artistic consideration to this, with most guns being depicted with large paddle-like triggers without guards similar to old timey crossbow triggers, which seems to be a nod to the need to depress the trigger with a smaller number of larger appendages, such as a whole hoof or griffon talons. This technological discrepancy is even shown in the game by having the races that cannot use weaponry properly be very backward like the polar bears, penguins and yaks.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_df1a0454	comment	Fantasy Pantheon: EAW creates several original religions that the Griffons and the Riverland ponies believe in. The Griffons worship three main gods: Boreas, Arcturius, and Eyr, and their religion is organized through the Archonite church, with three Archons being the High Priests and a system of Prelates ranking beneath them. The Griffons also believe in a fourth god Maar, but it's not worshiped because it's the God of Death, and only secret cults worship Maar. There are many other minor gods worshipped by smaller societies on Griffonia, such as the Goddess VarÄ—nÄ— worshipped by ponies in the Griffking river basin, the river goddess Eviliana worshipped by the Griffons of Brodfeld/Prywhen, or the sea goddess Sycaecia worshipped by the Griffons of Sicameon, as well as borderline-heretical sects like Trinitarians, who see Boreas, Arcturius, and Eyr in much the same way Christians see the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, rather than as truly separate deities.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_dfe57573	type	Historical In-Joke
Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_dfe57573	comment	Historical In-Joke: The name of the leader of Haukland, Hermann Meyer, is a reference to Hermann GÃ¶ring, who once said that "If one [enemy bomber] reaches the Ruhr, my name is not GÃ¶ring. You may call me Meyer." The bombers did reach the Ruhr, and Hermann Meyer became a joke name for GÃ¶ring. A Griffonian Empire event mentions the publication of a book named "Of Things That Never Happened" by author Barys Solartail, which follows the life of a Republican terrorist named Ropshin, and some critics have pointed out that at times it feels as if the character and the writer are the same person. This is a reference to real life Russian right-wing revolutionary Boris Savinkov of Kaiserreich infamy, who wrote a book titled "Of Things That Never Happened" using the pseudonym Ropshin.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_e0f75086	type	Good Republic, Evil Empire
Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_e0f75086	comment	Good Republic, Evil Empire: The dynamic between the Griffonian Republic and the Griffonian Empire: the Republic is a democracy (or at least aiming to be one) that can eventually adopt Harmony as their ideology, and will always work to improve the livelihood of the griffons if they are victorious, even if they become dictatorial for a certain time. The Empire is a decaying aristocratic monarchy with no possibility of peace or democratic reformnote until 1021, fourteen years after the start date, when Grover VI comes to age and the Regency ends. There is also the qualifier that this applies to the Griffonian Empire tag — some of the Griffonian Empires that can be formed by other countries conquering Griffenheim are a bit less expansionist or a bit more democratic, and aims to reconquer their lost territories to re-establish their hegemony.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_e27693	comment	The Coup: Andreia, a young Nimbusian general, will attempt to overthrow their nation's direct democracy should things not go their way. In Wittenland, Merchant Captain Honoria wins the throne through the support of the nobles, who are using her merely as a tool to depose the progressive Queen White Star. However, she launches what amounts to a coup, executing powerful members of the nobility before they can depose her. Lake City begins with a coup attempt against the government, as supporters of an heir to an ancient line of Emperors attempt to reinstitute the monarchy. However, recruiting Westerly Leeward and his paramilitary to fight off this coup can instead allow Westerly to launch a coup of his own!

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Queen Velvet, Queen of the Deer, is lovingly borrowed/shamelessly stolen of her character in Them's Fightin' Herds. The city of Skyfall and Alaric Dawnbreaker, ruler of Rumare are originally from Dusk Quill's A Soldier's Memoirs. Idol Hooves, the fortification engineer for the Crystal Empire, is taken from The Changeling of the Guard. Dierdre Skye, a Mayoral candidate for Lake City, is a nod to the character of the same name from Sid Meier's Alpha Centuari.

Equestria at War (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: The mod regularly crosses over with other Hearts of Iron IV mods for April Fools' Day. In a crossover with Old World Blues, southwest Equestria can be set to be replaced with an expedition of the New California Republic, which has to find its place in the new world and can choose friendship, conquest, neutrality, or communism. Similarly, Equestria can be spawned into Old World Blues and can "befriend" the whole wasteland. For April Fools Day 2021, the crossover was with Red Flood, with the Dread League following a form of Red Flood's Accelerationism instead of its normal Omnicidal Maniac route. For April Fools Day 2022, the mod crossed over with The New Order Last Days Of Europe, giving Equestria a new path where Celestia and Luna disappear, resulting in Equestria shattering much like Russia does, which drives Twilight down the path of the Blessed Regent Sergei Taboritsky. The April Fools Day 2023 content, made in collaboration with the Unification Wars developer team, turns Emperor Grover V and Ferdinand Dawnclaw into the Emperor of Mankind and Horus, in a loose reenactment of the Horus Heresy.

If you grant him asylum, Chrysalis will formally request that you extradite him. If you do, she will have him executed for treason upon return. If you don't, there will be a diplomatic penalty. And then Chrysalis will have him assassinated. Either way, he will have no chance joining your side as a playable general for very long. The kindest option is to refuse sheltering him outright.

Should Equestria be defeated by the Changelings, New Mareland can harbour the Equestrian government, and call for aid not only from the Hippogriffs, but all pony and Harmonic countries to form a giant alliance. Harmonic Olenia can call Equestria to their defence, which early enough in the game is usually a Awakening the Sleeping Giant moment.
