To form this nation: as Bhutan, control nepal and Tibet (direct controll no puppet)
Formable suggested by: u/JazzyHugh
Ps: I FUCKING DID IT, Anyway why did i do this special episode even if i said in the rules that i wound't do it?
1 reason: the winner of yesterday votation (Ma kumul khanate) have the same flag and name of social democrats kumul khanate
2 reason: u/JazzyHugh is a bhutan developer, in exchange for this episode he would do a special event for me in bhutan, soo yes i can be corrupted (i'm sicilian you know) but please next time give me a hot a 18+ femboy I NEED THIS
Anyway if you want to do this path i suggest to do the normal path because is op (at least against the other king and the nat populist path)
and important thing, i had to cheat to do this in 2 occassion: 1 India declare war against me and i whitepeace (come on), 2 i puppet nepal for the war against tibet, because it was impossible without it, and anyway a have for this bitchass nation i have a eye infection soo idk about tomorrow

Not complaining though, adds some much needed variety to the region.

A long time ago, I made a post slandering this mod to no end. Well, 3,000 hours later, I finally tried it again, and I have to admit—it’s really damn good.

I played a game as Germany last night, and it was easily one of my favorite experiences in HOI4. I absolutely love the lore and the way the focus tree makes you feel. I constantly had to stop and think about which focus I wanted to take. It was so confusing, but honestly, I really enjoyed that part of it.

It genuinely feels like you’re trying to manage a new government, a new world order, and a vast empire.

So, I’m making this post to say: I’m sorry, Kaiserreich fans. This mod isn’t boring. ;-;

Inspired by the comments from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kaiserreich/s/4FNuTnp6Hz

The Internationale would have lost vast industrial resources when their empires collapsed. They would have a severe lack of Oil and Rubber.

Not to mention the devastation brought about by France and Britain's respective civil wars.

It seems like the current content doesn't go into this enough.

Hello friends today I bring to you another iteration of the Enhanced AI submod. I have been hard at work optimizing the mod for 1.19, and I now have a solid working version for you featuring:

• A full division template rework to optimize the use of regimental support companies. On infantry templates, SF will use infantry guns, MA will use heavy weapons, and MW/GBP will mix and match. Early tank divs will just use motorized heavy weapons, but post 1941 they will feature spaa and (heavily armored) td companies.
• A tank design rework. Light, flame, spaa, and spg tanks will have more armor ticks if the AI has lots of mils. Medium tds are a thing now and will be present as regimental support for medium tank divs (heavy tanks will use heavy tds).
• Optimized xp spending. A big issue the mod had is the AI struggling to get its doctrines given the absurd number of templates but I have considerably alleviated this and the AI now progresses diligently in its doctrines while still fielding big armies.
• Bug fixes and some niche improvements to certain aspects of the AI (for example, the UoB is now much more focused on plane production).

Enjoy!

It did not save them

R5: Like much of south china, Hunan's content is much better than it was years before, even if it still lacks post unification content. Cheng Qian triumphed in elections in Hunan and took to war against Yunnan and Liangguang, succeeding against both with the sheer wit of Hunanese high command, and with fresh stockpiles deployed a massive force to face off against Japan. Alongside the Zhili, the KMT won out and soon the two powers came head to head. It was a scary sight at first, just above 120 divs vs the Zhili 200, but with superior strategy and tactical wit, the Second Northern Expedition was won. Cheng Qian solidified the country and moved to reclaim the periphery, including a 3rd Sino Japanese War which ended in the Japanese Empire's total dissolution. Though some lands remain out of reach.. it's safe to say that the KMT revolution is here to stay for decades to come...

like in nearly every game I play unless I'm there to save Germany, Russia always steamrolls over Germany

Genuinely only in a few games I've had Germany does not get completely steamrolled over

Not really sure how but as some point Max Bauer was replaced with Wilhelm IV. I assume because Mittleafrika collapsed, the Hohenzollerns returned to Germany.

To form this nation: as Kumul Khanate, win the Xinjang war and let the Han chinese have 100 influence, then reunify China

PS: I FUCKING DID IT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW, i did a LOTS of savescumming and tries, but really after the Xinjang war is all CHAOS, i need beer now.....

Earlier today, I noticed the fun little inclusion of GDP as a term in the APG reconstruction tree. Now I hardly think that's a problem, but it did get me thinking; quite a few of the economic terms we regularly use come out of the 1920s and 30s, after the Kaiserreich universe has already diverged significantly from our own.

Take GDP, for example. The term was first used by Simon Kuznets in a 1934 Congressional report, and then later seriously adopted thanks to a combination of demands from wartime economies and Bretton Woods. Not only is the framework of the New Deal+WW2+Bretton Woods gone, whether Kuznets left Ukraine at all is up in the air. Now, the "who invented what where" question is somewhat easy to answer for some other terms, since the answer is often "Ragnar Frisch in America/Oslo", and he seems to be living his best life in Norway, but not so for others.

And then, of course, there's the fact that a German victory is going to prop up the German Historical School's lifespan. A Germany that is still academically dominant might well have the juice to keep the Historical School going through Austrian and Popperian critiques.

Alltogether, you have a world that's wildly different from our own at just the same time that much of the language of modern economics is being formalized. The ideas and people that coined terms like "econometrics", "liquidity", and "multiplier" are in flux, and they might well be very different come 1936.

None of that even touches what mainstream econ might look like in a world with syndicalist economies, and that's so far outside my wheelhouse that I won't even try to touch it.

Tldr; specific terms are contingent, and I'm curious how different even economic jargon would be in Kaiserreich.

Having personally wanted a independent Singapore tag in Kaiserreich, I have made a mod that adds it in the game. Now the Fate of Singapore event allows you to release a Free Singapore with a generic focus tree. This is also my first mod, so any suggestions in regards to gameplay and for future ideas regarding Singapore are greatly appreciated.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3769234809

Future plans: A focus tree and custom leaders based around Singapore being led by either Lim Boon Keng and the People’s Democratic Party or Tan Kah Kee and the Singapore Nationalist Party. Unique leaders and focus trees on if Singapore was released by Japan or Britain/Canada

-go down soc liberal hetman path

-get comprehensive land reform and industrial reform

-get a big army

-fortify key locations

-Russia invades

-try defend at russian border

-fail miserably

-try to defend the forts at the russian border

-fail miserably

-try to defend the kiev fort line

-fail miserably

-realise you suck ass at the game

-reconsider your life choices

Basically the question. Thanks

Even when it would make less sense fun-wise (because of many more streamlined paths to go further), what would you think the KR world would like? The start would be some days before the Second Weltkrieg will start in Europe.

Some interesting questions, for example ...

- Is the US Civil War still raging, or has one side already won?

- Who is China's strongest faction to (probably) fight the Japanese?

- Is Germany a fighter for democracy (DU) or authoritarian (democratic) Europe?

- Has the Ottoman Empire fallen or is it still fighting?

- Will Savinkov have prevailed, or did he fail to manage the unrest?

I wanted to do a radical socialist America, but now I am getting demolished by Canada and the others. The other factions (except federalists cause I managed to kill them) signed a peace to focus on me, which would have been fine. But then Canada decided to attack me as well, which could have also been fine but I am just not able to hold New England cause all orders cost a ton of command power and there is never any supply there.
