I see this photo of the Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Hetman Skoropadskij in 1918 in my book on the history of House Hohenzollern
You think the Kaiser sees the Hetman like a true ally or just a puppet for the security of Reichspakt from the Russia of Savinkov in the second Weltkrieg?
If the Entente does not have the USA in its faction, Germany should be able to push for National France to join the Reichspakt in the Halifax Conference in addition to joining Mitteleuropa.
National France revoking its claims on Alsace-Lorraine and its lost African colonies is just acknowledging the reality on the ground, only Mitteleuropa integration is a valuable concession Germany can extract imo. Having National France join the Reichspakt would cement German continental hegemony and ensure it would not have to fight a war on its western flank again, while also avoiding a costly occupation after the immense destruction of the 2nd Weltkrieg. Additionally, it would isolate Britain and make them more reliant on the Reichspakt for future reconstruction and security efforts.
Without the USA, National France would have essentially zero position to reject Germany's demands while maintaining the possibility of a restoration to 1919 French borders under their leadership. I think a demand to join the Reichspakt would not be unreasonable, and National France swallowing their pride to acknowledge its subordinate status to Germany and integrating with Central and Eastern Europe is not an unrealistic outcome imo.
R5: this came to me in my dream last night
Personally I thought it was pretty good, the russian accents make the film so much funnier. But I do think its kind of screwed up that England banned the film.
Germany still manages to lose Belgium
Its so stupid the Russians can go in by mid 39
Since the German aligned world recognized the Commune of France after the British Revolution if I recall correctly, and the Entente and its allies recognizes Sand France as the legitimate French government... Who does the USA recognizes as the legitimate French government? I was just thinking about that last night.
I decided to do an "evil" entente playthrough where I empowered the British exiles in Canada and in my headcanon some variant of the cecil rhodes "round table" secret society were pulling the strings and decided to just subjugate the United States and restore anglosphere hegemony... so basically theres a new one world order controlled by the british exiles.
(I basically just annexed all of the american syndicalists then I just waited for the ACC and APG to weaken eachother and destroyed them both at the start of the 2wk)
I will say this is the most overpowered strategy I have ever done. Spamming armoured cars is good enough to suppress resistance in USA, meaning you get an absurd amount of industry (on top of the already large amounts you can get in canada proper).... i was able to easily build a 300 ship strong navy by 1941
I was able to singlehandedly overwhelm the UOB and COF primarily because I was just playing as the USA at this point pretty much lol. Very fun. I did make it balanced by forcing myself to keep physical garrison divisions and american loyalist paramilitary divisions in the USA and keeping some canadian divisions there.
anyway this is the best outcome for the american civil war and the british crown has a more legitimate claim than any of the illegitimate 1936 presidential candidates
I have no high hopes for Sublime Federation but I'm not so sure about the Kemalist one.
Let's say timeline is a German victory where Ottomans join the Reichspakt and resolve Azerbaijan dispute, constitution is pluralistic and government is at an tolerable level of Pro Turkish nationalism, and state is offering great welfare to the citizens due to owning most of the oil in the world. Would they be doomed still?
For example, Germany/ Usa has a falling out with the Ottoman Empire after decades and they decide to pull an Iraq and claim they are trying to build chemical weapons or nukes, or they simply decide that they prefer trading with fragmented Arab states rather than a strong Ottoman Empire. Not to mention how many ethnicities there are in the Empire and how others can exploit that for the dissolution of the state.
Would they continue trucking on or are they doomed to collapse in your opinion?
Same goes for Austrian Empire. Do you think they can make a federation work, or will they have a war similar to yugoslavian wars in the future and get dissolved?
Like one of them is a colonial rump state that is constantly rebelled on and the other is a government-in-exile of a nation of only 11m compared to Germany's like 90m plus the entirety of Eastern Europe.
Hell what could they do if Germany accepts Halifax and then just decides to betray them
Hi everyone,
I'm the kind of player that really enjoys building up a navy and doing all the micro in hoi4. I'm a rare breed, I know.
I already played as Germany and it was very fun to fight both the UK and France. I even tweaked the rules to make Norway and Ireland go red in order to have more places to naval invade. Would have been pretty cool if the syndies in America had won the 2ACW but sadly that did not happen.
Any other nations you guys would recommend? I'm thinking of trying either Sardinia or Canada but the content seems a bit outdated. I was reading about people saying that after you retake the home islands/italy the game is kind of over.
Happy to hear your ideas!
The flag and seal design style of the 3I is very different from that of the Warsaw Pact OTL, so I really think it should be different.
EDIT: Apparently, it has been updated and that just has evaded me. I still think it shouldn't use the OTL East German emblem, which was drawn up by the Soviet Union.
This is going to be the final vote I’m organizing, if someone else wants to continue after me, go for it. You can download the image in the comment and edit it yourself, I personally used the sketchbook app on mobile. I will also post a no days version so that editing would be slightly simpler.
