Rule of Iron Men - The Bandit who United China

R5: One of the most unlikely contendors out of the Chinese thunderdome was that of Shen Hongying, a bandit and folk hero backed by the Zhili of the north. He took the reins of Lu Yuguang's south chinese fiefdom during the SSJW and consolidated rule over not only it but also all of Manchuria and Korea after the fighting had ended. Once it was complete, Shen's army unveiled properly mechanised divisions which proved crucial in crushing their once-overlords in the Zhili of the North. China became united to a degree, but Shen's ailing health became an issue. Two groups, Zhu Jiahua and the Jingxing Society and the tenuous alliance of Li Yaohan and Shen Rongguang rose to the occasion after Marshal Shen's death, with the latter coming to power. His consolidation absorbed the remnants of German companies, industry, and assistance from abroad combined with all the grace and fervour of the 'last of the romans' of old generals. Democracy set aside for the time being.. perhaps there is still hope for this China held together by military force and pragmatism...

Which city should be capital of a unified Centroamerika?

Historically, the capital of the Federal Republic of Central Amerika was first Guatemala City (1823-1834) and then San Salvador (1834-1839/41).

Guatemala City was and still is the most populous and economically important city in Mesoamerica, but the argument could be made that it's too close to the mexican border.

I think a central location would be a sensible choice, but that still leaves three candidates. And if Costa Rica is included into the new state, San Salvador would pethaps still be too far west, while Managua or Tegucigalpa would be in a good central location, although both were relatively underdeveloped in the 1930s.

What do you think? If we exclude the possibility of a new planned capital (like Brasília), which city would you choose?

Why does the entire middle east and balkans revolt/declare war on you when you do kadro ottoman empire/turkey "union of party and state"

It's a bit comical since the focus itself doesn't state anything beyond increased resistance. What a jumpscare!

What is the best division template and strategies for winning as a revolting Poland?

I’ve played Ukraine a decent bit recently, especially the revolt paths, so I’ve been thinking of trying polands revolt paths. However, from what I’ve seen when Poland revolts it seems they’re always focused on by the reichspakt and also Poland doesn’t have nearly the same industry or manpower as Ukraine. So I was wondering what’s the best kinds of division templates for playing Poland and what the general strategies are for both socialist and nationalist Poland are?

Why can't I get into this mod?

I've been trying for about a week to get into Kaiserreich, I like the worldbuilding and the alt-history but when it comes to actually playing I can't seem to get into it. I've tried a few nations but didn't really enjoy them, so far I've played Austria, Bulgaria and the Italian Republic and found them all kind of boring or annoying?

The Italian one was the best one but by 1941 the war was over and I was completely surrounded by Third international which included the whole of Europe.

In the Austria save the same thing happened, I formed the United States of Greater Austria and by the time I incorporated Hungary, Germany had capitulated and I was surrounded by the Third International which had taken Romania and Serbia. In the Bulgarian save I quit midway thru but don't really remember why, I think I was frustrated by a decision which put the Ottoman Empire against me. I want to understand why this mod is so highly liked, if anyone has any suggestions for simple somewhat strong nations to play to get a better feel, it would be appreciated.

Sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language.

What are the most cursed paths in the game?

Let's say something super totalitarian and despotic. I would like to play those paths. Preferably if their content is not too old

Dai Jitao liberates Asia and more!

Another long game, although suprisingly it wasn't very painful. 11000 tactical bombers and infantry beat the AI tanks and mechanised because they can't handle the supply, a mistake I made many times in the late game. Turns out the best division is the one you can feed. I did use state transfer tool to adjust some borders and add the Arabian Federation to my faction, which I feel was justfied since when I unified China they were fighting for their life against every other Arab state and I saved them with volunteers. Also, letting every single KMT faction into the government after unification is both incredibly funny and gives a lot of busted generals and advisiors, especially with the Yunnanese military tree which gives direct XP and trait boosts to commadners. The Chinese Century will be a long one.

Worldly Natural Governance - SPD Germany's World Hegemony

R5: Dominating the world, economically, diplomatically, and militarily, is the 'crowned republic' the Social Democratic German Empire. From its auspices as a world power slowly being snuffed out by revolutions across the world, Germany deployed itself across nation by nation, rescuing falling powers and even saving big players such as Spain, the USA, and the Ottoman Empire. With this newfound might, Germany sent its armies across the world, defeating its enemies in the 2nd Weltkrieg, destroying the Japanese and Indian menaces, and promising an era of rebuilding towards a moderate, social democratic cause. This was ingrained by the election of Theodor Haubach and his deputy, Fritz Naphtali, and the guarantor of several decades of Social Democratic rule to come. Many decry the SPD for its foundations of what may become a lasting party-state, but seeing how the left and right tried to tear Germany, and the world apart, it is no wonder as to why the only sane, and just government survived.

Unlike Fengtian, New England has a… complicated relationship with the rules of war

In a world where the Entente, after defeating the Third International in the 2WK, join forces with the Japanese Co-Prosperity Sphere against the Reichspakt

So...why are the Entente extremely incompetent nowadays?

Like for real. I remember a time when Canada and National France (aka "Sand France") were once fairly competent on the default game settings and often won crucial victories in North America and India, which automatically made them a force to be reckoned with. Nowadays, it's a miracle if they even win against Panama. Seriously, in the majority of my recent games, Canada loses to Panama and almost always gets demolished by the WCA before 1940, even if the WCA are still fighting the Not Pacific States (aka the "ACC") and the American People's Government. And National France hardly ever does anything at all anymore - uncharacteristically, in my opinion, given their fanatical anti-socialist views - and often just keels over with barely a fight once the Internationale invade North Africa.

I remember when the Entente could actually successfully naval invade the fuck out of most nations, which, among other things like naval strength and a decent air force, gave them a unique advantage that justified their existence as an alliance. Now, it's just pathetic.

My Koumintang government got pushed back to the sea. Is there any hope?

The Qing and League of eight provinces teamed up and pushed me back until I only have this small strip of land and an island. Then Japan naval invaded the island. Now all my Koumintang goverment has is this.
