TFR

What Hearts of Iron 4 mod does TFR stand for?

The Fire Rises

TFR is an acronym for "The Fire Rises," a popular modification (mod) for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV (HoI4). HOI4 is a World War II–themed strategy game where players control a country, manage its military, economy, and diplomacy, and try to change the course of history. The TFR mod adds new mechanics, events, and gameplay elements, often emphasizing alternate history, global conflict, or intensified military strategy.

The mod gained popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s as HoI4's community of players and modders looked for ways to expand the base game with unique content. Players, content creators, and HoI4 enthusiasts use TFR to refer to both the mod itself and the gameplay experiences within it. You will likely see TFR in forum posts, Discord chats, and YouTube or Twitch streams.
