I got a suggestion for the upcoming post civil war event "Fascist MacArthur":

event = {
id = 906509
random = no
country = USA

trigger = {
government = fascist
headofstate = 6208 #fascist MacArthur
}

name = "Forging new USA - internal policy"
desc = "President MacArthur who is even not President de iure has to make his mind up whetever he wants to throw away Constitution or to keep deprived of power the Senate and House of Representatives. First option would be really hard to accept for many Americans, including the most influential military officers and civilians. Creating the totalitarian state is tempting option but it can lead to great divisions in society. The second option leaves the democratic apperance and allow s MacArthur's junta to fully control the state. Contr-intelligence officials and secret police is warning us about rising discontent in many circles including the army, so perhaps it's the best to appear democratic!"

action_a = {
ai_chance = 35
name = "Mac Arthur doesn't need to be President to exercise the power!"
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
command = { type = setflag which = USA_MIN_JUNTA }
}

action_b = {
ai_chance = 35
name = "Mac Arthur will be President but he will leave day-to-day ruling to Senate and House"
command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
command = { type = setflag which = USA_MAX_JUNTA }
}

action_c = {
ai_chance = 30
name = "One nation, one country, one ruler"
command = { type = dissent value = 5}
command = { type = setflag which = USA_TOTALITARIAN }
}
}
event = {
id = 906510
random = no
country = USA

trigger = {
flag = USA_MIN_JUNTA
}

Why would General MacArthur want to form a Totalitarian regime with secret police, Because I'm pretty sure he was not a Fascist to begin with? What reason is there for him to ban the constitution and purge the US of people causing trouble? I don't have too much of a problem with it but it makes more since for him to step down and put the current democratic or republican president in power again after the US government's time of crisis(the second American civil war) is over?

How about an option D where MacArthur decides against forming a military junta and instead steps down as temporary leader of the country and puts the 1936 president elect back in power? Some people just like democracy and don't want to live in a police state, that's all.
 
Well, I thought that player should have a choice to form completly new USA. It would be hard to kick out Mac Arthur after civil war, so we want to build totalitarian state we must use him.

And, that event that you are speaking about (stepping down and restoring democracy) is already made and added to Kaiserreich. :) This events are only about situation when Mac Arthur stays in power (if democracy is restored, then will be different choices in president elections made by Flying Dutchman...hopefully).
 
Also, I think this would be a great pic for the event(I used gimp to edit it):

generalmacarthur.jpg


CAPTION(explaining what the picture is supposed to represent): General MacArthur surveying the fiery aftermath of the Battle of Chicago. At the time of the battle, Reed and his closest generals had already announced their surrender to the United States. The battle came shortly after the Collapse of the American Union State, which allowed the military to take the fight to the heart of the CSA.

Also, I heard there is a way to stop the second American civil war. Is there an event that prevents the CSA, AUS, and PSA from breaking off from the Union? Its just so frustrating to have the CSA's huge numbers of infantry overwhelm the East Coast or watch helplessly as the AUS's armored tank corps move unopposed through Texas and the Midwest.

If not I suggest there be a way to have an event where 1936 president elect X(excluding President Long or Reed) successfully manages to negotiate a truce between the warring Combined Syndicates of America and the American Union State and bring back order to the Union.

And finally, are you planning to convert to AOD(which I see no point in getting, as its basically the same game) or are you sticking with ARMA 1.3? I might get AOD in the case Kaiserreich switches game engines(I just can't get enough of this great mod!)

Guys, please stop it. No, seriously.

From what i gathered about him from his wiki page, there was a fear of a coup d'etat coming from him. But it was like only a sentence short and i wouldnt be able to find it again.
 
Please stop spamming and go on-topic.
 
What, is this a insult :(



Oh yeah! :)

Now on-topic:
Why is there no Texas country while there is Hawaii, PSA, AUS and NE ? :(

because AUS = TEX. And there are almost no tag available. or you must use the armageddon/doomsday tags.

and i like the techno soviet anthem. i want that a national anthem. we dont have a techno wilhelmus :(
 
@ Dutchemperor: unfortunately they did make a techno Wilhelmus.

But can everyone either get a bit more ontopic or make a separate Kaiserreich humourpage?

Ontopic: I am working on the US elections and Viader is working on the MacArthur path. Unfortunately reallife keeps me from releasing them anytime soon.

where? do you have the file?

the kaisserreich off topic thread? good idea.
 
interesting article on MacArthur:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army

He was extremely anti communist.

So, i guess MacArthur doing whatever it takes to keep the union safe from communists after the second American civil war actually makes some sense.

Still suggest an option D for if the player puts MacArthur in charge.

Hooray for a paranoid, national populist military junta led by General MacArthur! :rofl:
 
Were there any pro-socialist or opportunist USA Generals? American Tukhachevsky, for events leading to a revolution in CSA if Reed pisses of military and goes totalist perhaps...
