Hoi4: MLP Equestria Drops the Power of the SUN 

Stakuyi: "were just gonna play a nice fun game" *fives seconds later* "What I a doing? Why am I causing a civil war? Why is everything on fire?" *five seconds later again* "YOU WILL ALL BURN FOR I AM THE FIRERY GOD-EMPRESS!" a mod about ponies haves broken this man. Someone get the wife to play, I want to see what happens with her.

"Can we do anything?" "The bat problem?" "Gets event 'The Final Solution'" *clicks start* Oh, Stakuyi, never change.

I love how this just becomes the Imperium of Pony (definitely *not* associated at all with the Imperium of Man) at the end.

Man, the first 10 minutes occuring just because Stakuyi (like Celestia) couldn't be bothered to be a better sibling is the peak of EaW content.

It always amazes me just how huge this mod is.

Stakuyi: Rules Equestria for five minutes. EVERYTHING FALLS APART. Stakuyi: No. No. No.

I fell over laughing multiple times during this, watching him create the Moon Mistress and then the Tyrant Sun all within the first what? Five or Ten minutes?

Well that escalated quickly. This is literally the "this is fine meme" but you start the fires.

I love how Equestria went from the US and Britain to WW2 Germany all with the same leader. Here I thought that was the role for the Changelings lol

Other countries burn their enemies with napalm. The Solar empire burns its enemies with a STAR. Will you do the Dread league next after it updates?

I like how within five minutes Stakuyi caused a race war with horse-bats, a Secession movement of the Southern States, Rebellions in the Western areas of Vanhoover and Las Pegasus, Conflict in the North with a race of shapeshifters who were crushed almost immediately and a genocidal campaign against the horse- bats. A comment on the Chiropterra video said that Nightmare Moon's rebellion was a child-friendly Horus Heresy and throughout this video Equestria rapidly became the Imperium of Man. I really wanted a video like this ever since I heard there was an event root to become Daybreaker because I knew Stakuyi would do this one perfectly. This video was everything I could have hoped for. Playing as the Lunar Empire in a future video would be a pretty fun event

Only five minutes in and things have already gone to hell. My Little Pony! The real sad thing is there are probably so many Equestria routes that this may be the only one we see, ah well, revel in chaos!

Buffalo: "Holy shit, we... survived despite everything, we're finally..." Celestia: "Knock, knock, Wanna know what makes us truly like the UK/USA?" Buffalo: "Not sure what those 2 things are but, what does?" DAYBREAKER: "(Prepares unnecessary & humongous fireball) SURPRISE LIBERATIONS!"

"When did we make a bomb??!!" So much for friendship is magic debuff, might as well get "friendship is violence"

This went from a land of peace and harmony, to being ripped to shreds by a 7 way civil war

Damn. I love the way they turned thr Nightmare Moon event in MLP into a rebellion. In the show she was so powerful that she conquered parts of Equestria on her own.

If you want to play a more wholesome path, go for the communist path of Hippogriffia with Posada. It's literally a dating simulator, with hydrogen bombs.

Hey Stakuyi! I wrote Localization/focuses and stuff for the Pony Confederates! They gave the job to a Mississippi girl probably cause it seemed funny, but I was just happy to work in some historical stuff. The harmony route for them I wrote was gunslinging crusader cowboy goodguys a la Dark Tower, so there's also that. Glad you're having a zany time with the mod!

Hope you have fun during your trip to france!

As a side note, the presence of such an amazing choice of artwork in the thumbnail means stakuyi had to spend time browsing through pictures of Celestia to find just the right one. That's adorable.

Suggestions for other Nations you should play. Lord Protector In the Griffonioan Empire: Which is the based bird Cromwell path and it's one of the hardest path in the game as you go full Order 66 and fight literally everyone to destroy the old rotten empire and replace it with a new one. Kingdom of Aquilea: You get a Bourbon- Napoleon bird gal and create a Griffion French empire or become the next French revolution. The Griffoian Republic: Basically Chiang Kai Shek mixed with Mao's long march. You can restore the republic or go full crazy nationalist. County of Bronzehill: The dogs can go full North Korea with a literal Kim il sung and Emperor worship or have dog Rosa Luxemburg take over. The Barrad Magocracy: A country full of op characters and crazy paths. Arcturian Order: Fight against the darkness of the approaching Dread League as a country of knights and get married.

Seeing a man who isn't a brony but who can, regardless, appreciate and even enjoy pony content is always heart warming. I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos on the mod, and as a newb to hoi4, I've even picked up some tactics from your play.

At the beginning it was gonna be the first wholesome playthrough of the mod but it ended in My Little Holocaust.

With the Crystal Empire you con literally create Mordor with the pony version of Sauron.

i was watching the start going "Oh god, he's going down that route...oh no..." Haven't played it myself, but i recognized the lore hits, the descent into dictatorship, i knew what was coming. The glorious Eternal Sun. watch?v=-w_wKzNoG-s Raise the Sun : Sylphstorm

It's Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasus. All three recognize themselves as different types of ponies. In ye olden pre-Equestria days, they were split into tribes with different cultures that all had tenuous relationship with each other. Equestria was formed when events occurred that forced them to band together into a more genuine unity.

He always gets broken with the historical puns… warms my cold heart.

"There probably won't be any wars." - 10 Minutes later -

I don't care about MLP at all but this mod is exactly what HOI4 mods should be. Fun unique different nation types on a brand new map so you can try them all out against each other.

My little Pony, My little Pony! Apocalypse Ponies! Collect all 4 now kids, Famine, War, Plague and Nuclear Death Ponies! At a store near you!

I appreciate that he started with trying to work things out…and then went all in on the Evil Empire move xD

I expected a nice change of pace ,you know playing as the good guys… I was not expecting THIS

I never thought i would see a reference that's a mixture of 40k and Dark Souls in a My Little Pony Mod

That has got to be one of the most chaotic Equestrian run and Solar Empire formation ever.

I love how Equestria just became a exact version of the Imperium of Man Banzai!

Im currently watching a grown ass man play a My Little Pony edition of a game about world war 2, but damn I am enjoying it!

"It's amazing how quickly this game turns you into a monster" - Sseth

So basically MLP turning into 40k

Only Stakuyi can take Equestria from having no war support to literally burning those who oppose them to death

devs: hey look at this peaceful and nice world stakuyi: genocide it is

Kinda felt like warhammer with the "all hail the god emperess"

MORE PONIES! MORE BLOODSHED! FOR KHORNE!

The three different sub-species of ponies are "Earth Ponies", "Unicorns", and "Pegasi". Earth ponies are basically normal horses, and make up the majority of the pony population. They tend to do a lot of the manual labor jobs since they're physically stronger than the other two types. Unicorns are the magically gifted ponies and tend to be among the higher-ranking members of society due to their abilities. Many of the more technical jobs are done by unicorns, as well as being members of the Royal Guard. Pegasi are the flying ponies, as you'd imagine, and usually live much of their lives within the sky, especially in cloud-based communities, since they're the only type that is able to actually walk on clouds. They also are the ones that make up the entirety of what is effectively Equestria's airforce, for obvious reasons. There are one final sub-species of pony known as "Alicorns". These are the rarest of all and have the abilities of all three types. One only becomes an alicorn through being given the honor of such by an existing alicorn, and they are the hierarchical rulers of Equestria. They also live extraordinarily long lives, possibly thousands of years. Celestia and Luna are alicorns, and they have been running Equestria for centuries.

The fact that this is a mod about a show for small children, and yet it is probably the single best total conversion mod out there is insane. Anyone from fanatic lovers of the show to people who only now knows what MLP is, this is definitely a mod for HoI4 players.

Play the Lunar empire, you can mess the lore so much that Nightmare Moon (who canonically is essentially a tyrant) becomes an actuall good person. Also, is Luna´s "evil version" and the ruler of the thestrals, so you can do a good run by making sacrefices. Its literaly the ends justify the means. ALL HAIL THE MOON

Next challenge: Power of friendship, basically Equestria but now avoid cults and war as much as possible while annexing/puppeting as much as you can If not at least see how long can you last as the buffalo XD

I wonder if he knows about that third option for Equstria where that one princes, not Luna nor Celestia, comes into a situation where the other two princesses disappear and tries to hold the nation together. When she couldn't, and everything falls apart, she snaps and develops a psychotic bloodlust where she will force friendship on everyone, even if it involves piles of ponies lying at her hooves. The icons for the focus tree looks like something out of a horror story. I was shocked when I came across that, and the expression she makes.

Lets try playing as the peaceful harmonious ponies. 15 minutes latter. I WILL DROP THE SUN ON MY ENEMIES!

Me : Yes! More EaW content! *6 minutes later* That escalated quickly

Even if you hate the show,but with this mod you can enjoy the chaos.it was really enjoyable to see your civil war dude.keep it up.

Love how he unintentionally starts the civil war

When you play as Equestria again and Luna's bat pony decision pops up go middle (I believe in you Luna). After that go to the elements, then pick the bottom options for the civil war and resist Nightmare Moon. That's how you get both sisters into power. If you want Nightmare Moon don't pick anything for war support or any good political advisors cause it'll go to Celestia. Take focuses that won't help her and spend the political power on random stuff. Also you'll be constantly be navel invaded by her puppets. One more thing all these nations you saw in this (Eques) video will be remade from what I heard. I still recommend the Equestria at War Super Events mod (good art and quotes)

Enjoy France, I’ve been there once going from Paris to Bordeaux then to Nice. I would definitely check out the Lascaux caves, the major historical sites, and enjoy some Mediterranean weather.

I hope he gets to see the crystal war. I would like to see his reaction to Crystal Empire (king sombra path)

I hope he'll play Escalation 86 submod for this where you can be the USSR, EU, or the Americans in Equestria

Man, these Sunny D commercials are getting intense.

You should check out Benito's Eldritch Wild Ride. Its a really cool lovecraftian mod and baiscally Mussolini makes a deal with the devil to conquer the world

Keep up the good work Brother, I hope you become a successful youtuber one day with millions of subscribers

“I don’t want a civil war.” Proceeds to click every option with red text

Best path in my opinion is Giulio Beakolini's Kingdom of Wingbardy

If you ever want a reccomendation, Ive recentely finished a game as the Griffonian Republic with my friend and it was a lot of fun. Also many paths to choose from, so you can once again create the most nightmarish state possible, if you want

17:44 I'm 90% sure that 'god-empress' is a Warhammer 40K reference

It’s one of the biggest meme mods ever actually fun as fuck but by god I want to know who had the time and energy to make this and why they did

Love it or hate it. My little Pony Friendship is magic was a massive success. Not speaking about the revenue. There was just something in there that grabbed the attention of lots of people. LOTS. OF. PEOPLE.

Watch as Stakuyi turns Equestria into Historical/Mythical China!

If you're looking for a 'nicer' playthrough then there's Harmonist (default) Hippogriffia - somewhat a similar start as you're a 'peaceful' nation but awoken by the drums of war like Equestria - a parallel to the US in WW2. There's also a few routes for that, including The Abyss... ;)

we went from praise the lamp in stellaris to praise the sun in HOI4 Equestian

Wait what, i am so confused. I did not expect the funny history short guy to be a MLP fan and even less play it openly. I cant compute.

Lore of Hoi4: MLP Equestria Drops the Power of the SUN momentum 100

So, for future reference, should you play this again on your own, you want to have Celestia help Luna with welcoming the Thestrels to avoid a civil war.

How dare people not like these videos, unless they are worried about your mental health from being subjected to so many puns.

This mod is just...so bizarre......it's optimized by God, it has more content than Vanilla and several of the larger mods put together, it's creators put an incredible amount of love and effort into it....and it's about ponies.....I love it, but it's bizarre....

I never thought I would be interested in MLP but here we are.

I love seeing more of these videos! Also surprised to see them coming back but hey I'm not complaining! Also you should put Hippogriphia on the poll for next video, they have a lot of fun paths

You could have done two more things: Re-educate Twilight Sparkle into Inquisitor Sunrise Sparkle and go punish the bats in Chiroptera for plotting the Lunar Uprising.

I would love to see you play the Unification War, Reconquer Terra as the God Emperor

I've never seen someone have so much fun committing war crimes on an unprecedented scale.

1:00 the term is grandsire for horses and ponies (learned that cause of Skyrim)

Can you make a small shorts series detailing the backstories of some of the countries in this mod lol

Halfway through: A fulgure et tempestate, libera nos Imperatrix noster. A peste, tentatione et bello, libera nos Imperatrix noster. A flagello Kraken, libera nos Imperatrix noster.

Brings a whole new meaning to burn in holy fire

24:30 "There's really nothing here that can stop us!" Oh you naive summer child, you beat the EASY part of the game...you were only halfway there! The Griffon warlord was coming for you and you were not ready lmao

So next one: Play as the Diamond Mountain dogs and DIG DEEPER! or Play as Greifwald and go with the prelate but DO NOT BE ANNEX BY THE EMPIRE! or Play as New Mareland and go communist and pick Maresoc (btw after you get new focus tree purge the army immidietly or you get a civil war)

Try playing Balefire Blues, it's a combination of Equestria at War and Old World Blues

you should play the Yale Rectorate path where you resurrect the dead, it's lit af.

Lemon started five minutes into the game and already there’s the American Civil War but with ponies

It's never a stak video if their isn't a mountain of corpses the size everest by the end.

I feel like the makers of these mods made them for their kids and just....as dads do...fell in love with it and just filled it with puns

I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm used to you're educational shorts. so the thumbnail, you're face, and you're very teacher like voice through me in so many directions it made me have a mini existential crises

I love how this is kinda a cannon alternate universe in my little pony, along with total changeling takeover. Yes this one a hunter at being cannon.

Shit went down spiralling out of control pretty quickly... Just to be reburn in Holy Fire into something beautiful.

This literally became the imperium of man . . . Well mare. Next the stars!

So this is why Sun Butt farmed everything out to Book Horse...

This is what i always thougth. Celestia keeps the harmony in equestria, but the rest of the world suffer. And sonner or later it will lash back to slap the ponies in the face. Harmony is not maintainable permanently. Balance can be.

My Little Pony the show: friendship, tolerance, acceptance, teaching good morals My Little Pony the HOI4 mod: genocide, unrestricted war, nuclear Armageddon, brutal oppression

Welp, this went from 0 to 100 faster than I would have imagined

Millions of ponies: dying The music: just stay happy guys it'll be ok

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP (and this Gun I Found) COMPELS YOU!!

Here's a challenge, play as equestria with a morally good outcome.

I think you should dedicate a day every month to Equestria at War, to make it an event people look forward to. You could call it EAW Sunday, which can be pronounced as "EWE" or "EW," so everyone can be happy!
