Warsongs Radio
Since its release, Equestria at War has garnered a number of fans, both from within and outside of the pony fandom. In recognition of this fact, we at the Equestria at War Team are proud to present Warsongs. Warsongs is a collaborative effort between the EaW Team and artists from the highly acclaimed Ponies at Dawn project that seeks to introduce some of the best orchestral and ambient music the fandom has to offer to a whole new audience of potential listeners.
Warsongs adds a brand new radio station and GUI. Volume 1 adds seven new songs from the Ponies at Dawn album "Eclipse". Volume 2 adds another seven songs from various artists from the MLP community.
Warsongs is not reliant on the base Equestria at War mod, meaning can be used in vanilla Hearts of Iron games, and with any other mod.
Note for Streamers / Youtubers: while we have permission to use the music in this mod, we cannot guarantee that it is YouTube friendly.

Escalation 84' by Euro General
Two years after a devastating nuclear war between NATO and the USSR, remnants of humanity desperately flee through a one way dimensional portal into the magical world of Equestria.

_Logo.png){kind=logo}
(Formerly known as Griffonia at War)

Discord Server
Ghosts of Yore
Lead Developers - AdDur and Elgioneer
Ghosts of Yore is a narrative-driven submod for Equestria at War aimed at the thorough improvement of underdeveloped nations of the world: expansive focus trees, countless events, gripping stories, and challenging gameplay opportunities await you. The current release 2.0 involves three focus trees: Tir Deighe (also known as Northern Tribes from unmodded EaW), Arantiga and Griffonstone. While griffons of the south struggle to reclaim their long lost glory and splendour, the ponies of Tir Deighe continue their seemingly hopeless war against Skynavian invaders - will they be able to win the war without sacrificing their ancient traditions… Or will they become like those who they fight? As the rift between traditionalists and reformers grows, darker forces from the past long forgotten have awakened and threaten to plunge north into chaos.
Discord Server
The War in the Heavens by Glorvas
War in the Heavens is a submod that focuses on expanding the scope of the Equestrian Civil War, turning it into the bloodbath it was meant to be. Ponies march to their doom unquestionably, serving their God Empress to the death. The toll of war weighs heavily upon the economy, making it liable to collapse. Desperate measures are taken, millions of ponies drafted for a seemingly unending war.
Content for the Lunar Empire has been completely overhauled, with limited content for Equestria/Solar Empire and planned content for the Crystal Empire and Stalliongrad.
Discord Server
Red Typhoon by the Red Typhoon team
The year is 1055 ALB. The world of friendship and magic is once again on the verge of total destruction. The world is dominated by 3 major alliances: the Equestrian Covenant - sphere of influence of the Equestrian Federation, the Weter Pact - Union of socialists of the North, and the The Coalition of Flovena - an Alliance of autocrats from the Central regions of the former Griffonian Empire. Three alliances regularly clash with each other in endless proxy wars, the last of which, namely the civil war in the River Federation, can become the very powder keg that will destroy the entire planet.
Discord Server
New Course by АНАРХОПУТИН
"New Course" is dedicated to the completion of the Equus countries, and the rework of the existing countries of the bird continent to the level of elaboration as in Gryphonia, as well as the creation of unique new countries: a separate archipelago of the Edge of the Earth with its ent, countries, and plot.

Aryanne Hoofler by Kristen Reid and Feydrid Kearn

From Rottendedam To Rijeka by Feitanakin and Hecate
From Rottendedam to Rijeka is a submod that's currently dedicated to the countries in the Herzlands and the Riverlands and it's current goal is to rework the underdeveloped nations in those two in-game geographical regions as the devs working on it see fit. FRTR has just released it's first public update, adding a new fascist path for post-LP Bronzehill, in which nationalistic and anti-imperial forces in the county coup the nation, dismantling the monarchy, cutting all of Bronzehill's ties to Griffenheim and trying to unite the ancestral lands of the Diamond Dog race, and updating Tiddo's then-defunct submod for the River Republic, in which the OHS (the spy agency of the Republic) takes over the nation to defend their lands from the Marksist menace, while also preparing the River Coalition for its inevitable fight with the Griffonian Empire.
FRTR's next updates will feature, like mentioned before, a small bunch of quality of life changes with some new paths occasionally getting sprinkled in.

We also have unique unit models for the Republic and it's puppet.
Crisis in the Heartland by Sapare
Submod focused around the Griffonian Empire and its starting subjects. It permits you to take an alternative set of focuses that circumvent the need to annex your allies and instead introduces new puppet mechanics centered around manipulating the autonomy system added by Paradox's DLC.
Equestria at War: A Faustian Bargain by Lunar_Explorator and Superior Serperior
Submod for DEFCON. Works with the demo too!
Transports the DEFCON experience into the world of Equestria at War, from the Hearts of Iron IV total conversion mod, Equestria at War.

Join the discord to make suggestions or organize games for playing with the mod: https://discord.gg/6DcqPkA
Our Nation A fascist submod for Our Town.

Buffs and expands Diamond Mountain. Adds additional options for King Rover and a new non-aligned path.
The Duchy of of Arschfick-Nirgendwo by The_Laundry

Wrath of Australemus by neonthefox12
"For many, the world has been revealed. Very little still hides. And yet, during this darkest time, the world still holds some secrets. Down south, a relic of the Earth that was remains. Diamond Dingos hold the line as Emus plan their genocide. Meanwhile, an even older force watches, waiting to return to glory."
A rather ambitious submod that adds the new continent of Australemus. Six new nations are added, ranging from the marauding warbands of the Emus, the battered-yet-strong United Austrailemus States, the modernizing Wokou, and the human remnant of Scortch. Currently in Beta, Scortch is the most complete of the nations. Future plans include fleshing out all 6 nations, a tech tree unique to the humans and emus, and new nations that can effect the balance of the world.
Great Feeling by Catnapper & ValenceWubs
Great Feeling and the associated music mod are about taking the Changeling Lands and turning it into a nightmare that you control. Negotiate with terrorists, feed your enemies to barely-sapient cave-things, build an army out of slaves, and spite the gods themselves by continuing to live. Why? Because you're the bad guy, and you wanted to.
Heroes & Generals by Beakwood
Heroes & Generals is a small expansion submod that brings to you more generals for commanding your troops and navy. The focus for the moment will be on Equestria, development on other nations will follow at a slower pace. Events are planned for unlocking new generals near the end of mod development. Currently adding 37 new leaders (Army/Navy), 10 new Aces, 37 new traits.

Discord Server
Finis Praterii
Lead Developer - kacj111
Finis Praterii is a submod which takes place in the aftermath of a nuclear war between the great powers. Many of the old nation states have fallen and in their place local tribes and communes have risen to lead the new world. Now civilization must attempt to rebuild it self and recover but the ghosts of the past still remain and haunt the present.
The Twilight Struggle: The Crystal Curtain
Lead Developer - TechnocommieSparkle
The Twilight Struggle: The Crystal Curtain is a EAW Cold War submod which takes place after the Great War and the various wars in Griffonia. It is the era of the ideological struggle between 3 superpowers. Only fear of the nuclear holocaust stops their warmongers. But the world isn't peaceful. Coups, civil proxy wars, diplomatic battles... Who will win?
Das Vaterland
Lead Developers - Lord Protectress Rose, Igzom
Das Vaterland is a dieselpunk-esque mod for Equestria at War.
The year is 1030. Equus has vanquished under the hooves of the Changeling Federation, a faltering Chiropterra struggles to find its place in the world, the Fascist State of Wingbardy and the Aquileian Republic battle over their spheres of influence, and the Reformisten sit on an unsteady throne over the River Ponies. Technology, despite advancing, has been driven towards the cold mechanisms of diesel-machinery, gearing up for the inevitable wars of the coming decade.
As the new order advances and the old struggles to stay alive, the fate of the world is on an knive's edge, with all wishing to thrust it.
EaW: Nova Terrae
Lead Developer - Handy Andy👋🤠#1355
Chaos, like Harmony or Friendship or Love or War, is intangible. It will remain the same no matter where you are, who you are, and the environment you are in. Discord revels in the chaos, for he is a master artist of it, but he wants more. He thinks to himself about how he can perform the most chaos with the least effort, so he explores some... alternative sources of chaos. He did have some good contenders, mainly typical anime universes or alternate history scenarios like the "Equestria Divided" universe as he calls it. The chaos in all of them are but mere mildly infuriating moments in life compared to his latest source of Chaos, The United States of America, year 2020.
This is a sub mod for the well known and loved mod Equestria at war, and this specific sub mod sets out to explore and develop a unique and lore rich scenario, in which we ask, What if 2020 America found itself in the world of EAW?
Pax Solaris
Lead Developer - Fire-Lord-Sozin
The sun rises in Equestria. Gone are the days when the land of the ponies would solve problems with friendship and understanding. Now Daybreaker is in command, hellbent on forging Equestria into a superpower stronger than any before it. A nation to rival the world. An empire to bring eternal peace or burn everything to cinders. But she has not risen alone. There are those that plot against her, from harmonists to magocrats and ancient doomsday cults. Who will reign supreme and decide the fate of the world itself?
Pax Solaris is a submod currently in development, aiming to massively overhaul the Solar Empire, adding new pathways, nations, mechanics and more.
Equestria at War: Fractured Harmony
Lead Developer - Test4Echo, Vezja, Lord Protectress Rose
What if MARESOC reigns supreme across southern Griffonia? What if the Changelings won, taking over half of Equus? What if the Solar Empire was a shadow of Equestria's former glory? All this and more is the world of Equestria at War in the year 1048. Equus is in flames, a powder keg that needs only a single spark for all out war to reignite, while Griffonia is locked in an deadly stand-off between the great powers of the continent.
Eclipse: Harmony's Trial
Lead Developer - Tonkano
What would the world of Equestria at War be like if Nightmare Moon had killed Princess Celestia after returning from her Banishment? Also with some Red Flood thrown in for good measure.
Change of the Changelings
Lead Developer - YannaChitin
It’s 1007 ALB, and Queen Chrysalis is fighting to preserve the fragile unity between the hives. Across the Changeling Lands, separatists and rebels wait patiently for their chance to strike out against the queendom. In the forests of Soryth, Thoraxians gather their forces, ready to begin the final liberation of the changeling hives. In the north, the hive councils have begun seeking new ways to address the growing worker discontent, finding answers in the teachings of Caramel Marks. Even within the heart of the nation, the divide between the hives grows ever wider as the other queens nurse their grudges towards Queen Chrysalis for the humiliating defeat she brought upon them.
As the queen's rule fades, the future of the Changeling Lands grows more uncertain with each passing day. Will Chrysalis prevail, or will the changelings succeed in bringing about a new system for their people?
Tales of the North
Developer - Hue_Muelltonne
Many Ponies had enough of Celestia and her ability to let most Threats into Equestria, instead of keeping them out. The Revolution in Severyana, the Changeling Invasion of 1002 ALB and the reappearing of Sombra left their marks in the Ponies trust. And in recent years an old Name has risen from the Shadows of an Equus long gone, a Time long gone, the "North Equestrian Republic". Only few know what this State was but many know the core Princibles of it. A free Nation, a Nation ruled by Ponies not Alicorns and a Nation that is home not only to Ponies but also Thestrals and Changelings.
Will this Dream be realized, will it’s Enimies Crush it or will it’s Past come back to being? Only Time will tell.
