It seems for the fourth time the German rework has been shelved or even dropped completely, but it seems like the Eastern Europe rework is progressing well. We also got a recent teaser for the Austrian rework so hopefully we’ll get a PR on that sometime this year/early next year.
While I could see this happening, I think Wilhelm II could achieve this by simply secluding himself in castle Hohenzollern or another estate owned by the family in Germany. While he’s known for being eccentric and putting his foot in his mouth, Wilhelm II was an intelligent man and knew his time...
The Sega Master System might actually do better in this environment with Atari weakening Nintendo’s hold on third party games and if they can avoid their partnership with Tonka thanks to butterflies from the POD. Poor marketing and a limited library thanks to Nintendo was a major reason why it’s...
Part of me wants there to be no monarchist path for Russia to show how anti-German it has gotten, or at least exclude Grand Duke Kiril’s family from the succession due to their close relations with the Kaiser’s grandson. Then the only way to get Grand Duke Vladimir as Tsar would be in a German...
It sounds like an interesting idea. It could provide the necessary buff the Third International needs to stand by itself without the need of Russia and Japan to dogpile Germany.
Barely to not at all, in terms of a negative effects. They are economically and politically isolated from almost all the great powers, except perhaps Russia, and the minor to mid-tier countries that are associated with them. It’s to the point that there is rationing in place in the UoB, CoF and...
I never liked Goering as the leader of Mittelafrika. It makes more sense that in a post CP victory Versailles-less world he’d remain in the airforce as a high ranking officer, enjoying the kickbacks and potentially getting ready to launch a political career. The only reason he seems to be in...
Britain and Ireland. I don’t think that Halloween can take off in the KR world without the cultural and economic dominance of the US, and even then in Europe places like Germany only started celebrating it in the late 1990’s. Likely countries around the world celebrate their own versions of...
The thing is why would they rejoin the SPD? The SPD is a full on establishment party post-1917, and while not particularly liked by the Kaiser and conservatives they are at least seen as loyal due to voting for further credits to finance the war. At most they would be in the same position as the...
Even before Kaiserreich’s history diverged from our own, the SPD had distanced themselves from the more radical/Marxist elements of the party to the point that said elements split off to form their own parties. The USPD or the SAPD would be a better bet for a Rad Soc or Syndicalist puppet regime.
The Carlists haven’t been removed, in the rework they instead throw their lot in with the Royalists and have the option to coup them after the civil war is won.
I don’t see that as a dev problem but a fan problem. Fans on reddit, and I assume on discord as well, were really applying the pressure for the release the further it got into December and the HoI4 update almost certainly added extra stress in getting the job done. Should the devs have given us...
There's a path where Puyi can take advantage of the chaos and break out of his role as a puppet and assert more power within the empire. However, he's only as powerful as the Kaiser in Germany, if not a bit weaker, and generally needs to work with those in power to pursue his goals unless he...
While I get now where Auwi came from as a possible candidate, I'm still unsure why Charles Stephen wasn't chosen. The memoir seems to indicate that it was only if Poland decided to elect Kaiser Karl as king, therefore entering into personal union with Austria-Hungary, that Poland need fear...
