That is certainly not what I expected... I only wanted to unite Iberia. But the whole Celts is nice.

cool path duuude

It was a good old-fashioned game. I wish there were more content after the unification but it's okay.
Also irregular cavalry is really powerful here - Semyonov's buffs and motorized doctrine finished the European Russia in a year.

What a run huh.

So I've decided to play social democrat CSA - and it's not what I expected. Gradual capitalism reformation? Banking? Using army against radicals? Those reddit schizos were right - social democrats will always betray the revolution!
It also turns out that I elected the worst leader - this corrupt clientist Glup Shitto.

Thank God I elected syndies in 1944 and ended this nonsense.

For those who don't know: the expansionist route of Swedish diplomacy is accessible through remaining social-conservative. And later you can elect other parties, for example social democrats.

So, after playing several paths I've realised that THIS is the most probable path of Germany in KX - not necessarily unification with Austria, but definitely von Papen's chancellorship.
Populist programs of punishing 'bad junkers' while elevating 'good junkers' on top. Not total autocracy but slow domination over democracy Bismarck-style. etc etc.

Also I didn't released Poland after annexation cause didn't feel like it.

that's it.

Not a single division here! And I am a faction member!
Is it possible to survive as Red Ukraine without game-ruling Russian Civil War or Revolution?

I'm really interested in who you guys think is the most suitable (or the most probable) to end up as Chancellor of the German Empire in 1936 in the newest update.
I understand that this question may be too vague or too broad so I will clarify it in 3 subquestions.

1. Which party is the most probable to win in April 1936?
2. Which man from this party (or Schleicher) is the most probable to be picked up by Wilhelm II?
3. (if it is not quite probable) What is your headcanon Reichkanzler?

Right now I'm not sure how to answer to these questions, but I'll try.

1. I believe DKP is doomed and won't win these elections. On the other hand, the pendulum won't swing too far as not enough time had passed and people won't change their mind too quick from conservative to progressive. That's why I believe Zentrum with its populist programme and moderate conservatism will be victorious.
2. First of all, I don't think Schleicher has that many chanches to be appointed as he's quite risky. Though, I can be wrong. If Zentrum wins, then Papen has many chances to be picked by the Kaiser as he is quite influencial and will continue the conservative path of the previous years of DKP.
3. Nevertheless, Rathenau is my headcanon, as I believe he will reform the Empire into something more likeable and survivable while not deforming it into something completely new as SPD candidates will.

So what are your thoughts?

Not such a positive path, it turns out huh.
The amount of "literally H*tler" moments is far bigger than I ever expected. Natpop Savinkov is just an edgy socdem compared to pataut Petain and especially his ministers.
Nevertheless, it was a great run.

A nice and wholesome conservative path. I believe it perfectly catches the nature of the Second Reich in this universe - to balance between old and new, monarchy and democracy.
I don't know what else to say. 10/10 content. Thank you guys for this update!

I was so inspired by this Germany update so I decided to make my first AAR, hope you enjoy :)

Also, I was planning to either unite the Europe or annex Austria but noticed that it is impossible for Weber and his successors too late. Still, "Imperial Federation" unification path is also nice.
