Can Sarmatia put that Kaiserreich Icon set to the page 1? Some mods incl. this one don't have their own subforum and it makes searching for various improvements much harder (370 pages of the Kaiserreich thread...).

We got a good forum already that is enough but I support moving that to post 1.

Hmmm....

I just had a splendid idea! As we're already talking about small nations in the ACW, how about making a real CSA? Confederate States of America ruled by tycoons, southern gentlemen and all that stuff.

It would be fun and would hopefully stop Long from overrunning America. AGAIN.

This is splendid idea, actually. It has my support, altough I have some additional suggestions to it. Instead of having Confederacy spawned during the war, what about having it revolting after the war? KR team has one strict and basic rule: Do not change anything that founding fathers did. Such thing is ACW, where adding new nation to the war would ruin balance and require lots of work.

My suggestion is that Confederacy should be included, but only in case of AUS victory in ACW. If other sides win, it's less possible to have CSA revolting just from nowhere, but this nation could be born as result of faction fights in AUS regime. As you probably know, Huey Pierce Long had younger brother Earl, and brothers weren't in very good relations IRL. Earl also became governer of Louisiana later.

In current KR scenario, there's great chance of AUS chosing full-centralized economy, or at least semi-planned economy, under influence of Long's social programs and corporatist ideas of other influental people in regime, like Coughlin and Kuhn. If regime limits economic freedom too much with it's reforms(like nationalisation of industry), this would be great blow to Southern traditions of small business and free market. Such politics could bring AUS hardliners in conflict with Southern AUS supporters, who fought for AUS because of Red danger and Long's support to Southern interests before and during the war, but don't agree with radical economic policy. If Huey Long insists with his ideas, or even worse, Fritz Kuhn became president after his possible coup against Long(event chain included in current version), those Neo-Confederates mobilize their supporters in military, economy and administration, and revolt as new Confederacy against AUS. One of main motives for Confederate revolt would be also AUS administrative organization. AUS is meant to be one big unitarist state, Confederates who are fierce supporters of state rights, would never accept such structure.

Leader of Confederates could be Earl Long. His motives for revolt could be both rivalty with his older brother, or revenge for brother's death in case if Fritz Kuhn takes power. Main base of Confederacy could be Texas which was fortress of democracy in this time, and some other Southern states with strong Neo-Confederate movements. Confederacy could claim all Southern states, while also being in good relations with Canada, which should intervene if Confederates would be successful. This way, Confederacy wouldn't take entire territory of former USA in case of victory(because Confederacy was made to protect Southern interests, and would split this territory together with Canada(and with extended New England). Entente would get good American ally this way, because USA is often defeated and destroyed in civil war, and Confederacy could be good compensation for this, even allowing Canada to keep real leadership of Entente, which is de facto transfered to USA in case of MacArthur's victory and entrance of USA in Entente alliance.

And who would run it? We'd have to take ministers from AUS and USA, plus the CSA tag is already occupied. I'd rather make Mexico more willing to join, especially if one side gets the upper hand over the USA (Texas and New Mexico) or PSA (California).

Well, Earl Long could be suitable for president, and some of AUS Southern ministers could also defect to Confederacy(like Patton), while most of other ministers can be find with some research. Same thing is with military leaders. Since AUS has many leaders, those who support Confederacy could just defect from AUS, like having those leaders appeared in Confederate forces when Confederacy is formed, and sleeping those leaders in AUS forces with ''one of our leaders has died'' events. About the tag for Confederacy, Armageddon has tones of free tags, why not using one for Confederates? MDS team has made almost all American faction of potential civil war from free tags(Texas, California, Socialist States of America, Cascadia), and they are just fine. Why not doing the same here? What do you think? I'd love to have Confederates in game, they are fun and great option, which also wouldn't ruin game balance and wouldn't require so much work as other American factions in CW, because it wouldn't even spawn during main civil war. Please, consider about that option.
 
Alright Mary I. Consider it version 2.0.
I'll take a crack at doing up some Mongolian icons with the circle and crescent.
I've already did a swap of Canadian-British land icons as the Canadians are MUCH more likely to fight in the deserts (of North Africa or India) then the island bound Brits are.
Are there any other requests for states that were missed or need redoing?
I'll also do up a set for Lithuania and fix up the Belorussian icons.
A set for the Netherlands would be great, but I think someone else previously did one up. If you have Dutch icons or know someone who does let me know.

I'd be absolutely marvelous if you could include the models AoD added in your mod, heavy submarines for example. =)

Edit: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9845727&postcount=1785 Dutch Icons, hopefully the link inside is still alive.

anyway who is in charge of the mod at the moment? because we have a small team who would like to make events and techteams plus some additional leaders and ministers. we already started discussing but we are not sure if we can do anything like this. guess we need approval

You could always visit the kaiserreich forum and then notice it quite fast.

http://z11.invisionfree.com/Kaiserreich

Right now FlyingDutchman is the general secretary of the mod but he wants a replacor. There is a nomination thread. But if you want o make events tt's, leaders and ministers why not do it and try to include it to the next version? Just post on the kaiserreich forum in the right thread, or start a new one and you will get loads of comments on your work and opinions on if the people like it or not. :)

Btw I don't think you need approval ;)
 
oh well thanks for the surprisingly quick answer. I am researching people and stuff and coming up with ideas, I have yet to learn some things about modding and actually somebody else is in charge for those modding things in this "team". so you suggest a new thread on their forum?
 
I am in the small team of Mary I and already made a new country, Taiwan with approx. 15 events, ministers, leaders, techteams. Should I post all files to the forum or maybe it is better if I send it in e-mail to the secretary general? I don't know if you are competent but then who should I ask about it? Thank you for answering my questions.
 
Such a wonderful mod! I'm in love! Events, events for all!

Just one question (right place to ask it?), I am not entirely clear on which governments are which. For example, to proclaim the Swedish Empire the file says I have to be fascist. Is National Populist this version of fascist?

In my opinion, it's always better to open a thread (or continue an old one) in the Kaiserreich forum. Even if your work is already complete, other users can give you suggestions and improvements! Once everything is settled, you can post the finished work in the appropriate threads of the forum.

HOI2 -> Kaiserreich

National Socialist -> National Populist
Fascist -> Paternal Autocrat
Paternal Autocrat -> Authoritarian Democrat

Left-Wing Radical -> Radical Socialist
Leninist -> Syndicalist
Stalinist -> Bolshevik

Yeah as AC said.

Ehm, I think that in the current version this is not possible, but National Populist is the same as Nazi, Im not sure what's fascist. Paternal Autokrat maybe?

Edit: Emu'd :p

Right, that's very useful for me! =)

I went National Populist and still got the event. Hooray!
 
When 2nd American Civil War occur all countries have same political system instead of their own.
How about event that makes those countries have right one.
 
Also change some unit names for Croatia.
Lovačka eskadrila to Lovacka eskadrila( game doesn't support Croatian letters č, ć, š, đ and ž)
Hrvati glavni štab to Hrvatski glavni stab( Hrvati- Croats, Hrvatski- Croatian)
