Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg - Global Alternate History Mod for HOI2

I agree that Germany's tech-teams need to be slightly worse than OTL.

On the other hand, Austria could probably use som improved ones.

Doesn't France have IC already?

And of course if you churn out tanks and engineers the understrengthed German army is going to get overrun! But I still need quite a few tests of this from both sides to see exactly how the OOBs need to be adjusted, and also what sort of border fortifications the countries need (esp. -> Should there be anything in Belgium...)

Yes, france has whole 79 ICs but it's such an annoying number...

Yes, there should definedly be something in the F-W! Also, overrun might be a bit wrong word...once the client states start to bring their troops I think I'm in troubles... :wacko:

Also, could you check in the vanilla 'ministers_SER' and 'ministers_YUG' files, to see who could be kept, or would need adjustments?

Unfortunately I can't download your game, but if you need something.

with the main task of the German player being to delay the French assault long enough to bring in support from the Eastern states

Is there an event that casues these two countries to go to war? I reached 1941 as Russia and everyone was pretty complacent. I think Turkestan and myself were the only countries to DOW another

Aren't they like, German allies?

Anyway, assaulting German urban terrain and forest isn't easy with mechanized forces and if it turns into a war of attrition the germans will have superior IC and doctrine tree that can be research faster...

Ok. First thing is, Sarmatia, have you put Falkenhausen with the AOG yet? If the answer is no I suggest that everyone now begins their posts here with a reminder .

Secondly, here is a batch of events concerning the Philippines after the US civil war starts. Before I put them down just a few points concerning them:

1) ID's and possibly event pictures/styles will nedd changing of course
2) As before, I've not used the 'News' format for the descriptions that you proposed using Sarmatia as I'm unsure how to do this. I have of course put in some ordinary descriptions to use till they can be changed.
3) I have some other events planned but need a bit of guidance - see my next post below.
4) Haven't got round to searching for Philippines ministers yet so the commands in the events below to put them in aren't complete.
5) Depending on Japan's decisions concerning the Western California Federation (CAL) more events may be needed concerning them and the Philippines.
6) With the event chain below there is a 5.72% chance (if all countries are AI) of Japan and Germany going to war. Actually I thought it was higher than this so I may have done my maths wrong.

Anyway, here are the events:

I have also created this event which will occur a few years later if the Philippine was successfully puppeted:

event = {
id = 14
random = no
country = JAP
name = "The fate of the Philippines."
desc = "For several years now the Philippines has been a satellite state of ours. However many of our generals and economists press for more direct control to aid in the efficient use of the region's resources. With Germany weakened it is also unlikely that any other nation will dare oppose such a move. Even effective resistance in the Philippines is unlikely."
trigger = {
flag = JAP_PHI_SUCCEED }
}
date = { day = 1 month = september year = 1940 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1947 }

action_a = {
name = "Enforce direct control"
ai_chance = 90
command = { type = trigger which = 15 } # A PHI event giving a 5% chance of them resisting the move, possibly by finding a major ally
command = { type = dissent value = 5 }
}
action_b = {
name = "The Philippines can remain as a satellite"
ai_chance = 10
command = { type = relation which = PHI value = 25 }
command = { type = belligerence value = -5 }
}
}


What I need though is extra triggers for it so that it only triggers if Germany has been weakened by a fair amount but I'm not sure what triggers to use for this so I need help.
