Hey everyone,

I’m planning a Commune of France campaign and I wanted to ask which paths are the most interesting or fun to play. I’m interested in both sides of it:
Which paths have the best flavor, events, and political story, but also which ones are considered the strongest or most “meta” from a gameplay perspective.

I’m not only looking for roleplay, but also for a path that can perform well in the Weltkrieg and give me a strong military/economic position.

Which Commune of France route would you recommend, and why?
Are there any specific political choices, focuses, army builds, or early-game strategies that are considered optimal?

Any tips are welcome.

After more than 4 runs trying it out and realizing it was just impossible instead of being a chance-based event, i felt betrayed because SURELY the little fishing superpotency ought to manage to do it somehow? Say, if you have captured Canadian territories by the time the option comes on you should get an alternate event where the extra resources are enough to pull this off. IDK, release the Titanic hotfix KX devs pls.

New to the mode, any recommendation?
