Domino Effect is a Cold War-era Hotmod 1968 successor mod, focused on the 1960s and beyond. It aims to restore, refine, and expand the experience with improved visuals, faction updates, bug fixes, and a long-term rebuild from the ground up.
Announcements: Update is now out. will likely have a few small bugs I missed, will patch over coming days.
Status: Alpha / Early Development. Has everything Hotmod did, plus a few more things.
Current focus: U.S. + USSR visual polish, bug fixes, faction cleanup
Update cadence: Small steady updates (At least once a month)
This roster aligns with what was originally planned for Hotmod (To my understanding), alongside the addition of Finland. I plan to add far more than just these nations.
See the full list: Here
Phase 1: U.S./Soviet visual overhaul, minor faction visual drafts.
Phase 2: Major bug fixes, community testing to lock down exact DLC requirements.
Phase 3: Addition of East Germany and other relevant nations, as well make all nations available in all modes.
Long-Term: A complete, independent rebuild from the ground up.
DLC Requirements: Currently undergoing community testing. A definitive list of required DLCs will be posted here soon. If you encounter content errors, please report them in the Discord.
If you run into issues or have suggestions, you can post them on Discord or in the Workshop comments. Discord is the main place for bug reports, suggestions, and general feedback, since it makes issues easier to track and respond to as the mod grows.
Help is welcome in a range of areas, including mod development, testing, references, screenshots, and other support. If you want to contribute in any way, join the Discord and reach out. Or Add me on steam.
Massive respect to the Hotmod team and everyone who contributed to it. This project would not exist without the foundation they built, and the work that came before it.
I still have many more people to credit, and I plan to expand this section with more detail over time. If you believe you should be credited here, please feel free to reach out.
If there is enough interest, I may also expand into other social media/community platforms over time so people can follow updates in the way that suits them best. But for now Steam, And Discord is where the mod will live.

Note: As development continues, I will be improving not only the mod itself, but also the overall look, structure, and functionality of both the Discord and the Steam Workshop page over time.
