I was wondering if we could keep Britain's distinctive Marine force.. well, distinctive. The Royal Marines are a force to be reckoned with and have a proud tradition, and in my game as the Union I decided to rename the units I made as International Marine Volunteers (the idea was that they'd go to help the fight in Spain but the civil war never fired :() kind of like a fusion of the French foreign legion and the International Brigades, made up of voluntary syndicalists/socialist from across the globe. I was wondering if you liked this idea as just a little flavour for the British, plus it could generate an event or two with regards to intervention...?

Good idea - it could be better to set these up via an event, as I'm planning on having Britain be a bit Quakerish/Pacifist at the beginning, with a chance to develop itself militarily later on (possibly with a Russian style doctrine choice event...). So, this sort of thing can definitely be a part of the whole process!
 
I could open the game and lokked it a bit. I want to say something if you let me.
1.I think The Ottoman Empire should have more IC, The Bulgaria has 35-40 IC but The Huge Ottoman Empire has only 25. In my opinion its a bit strange. :eek:

2.There is a gigantic German Empire with dozens of IC, a lot of strategic provinces at whole over the world and its puppets, so who will fight againist it? I thinked to fight but With the Ottomans technology, Tech teams, bad army and IC it seems me impossible. Can you fix it, and make like 60-80 at least, you know The Türkish Army made very good battles at WWI, they had a huge men power(at least 250.000 dead only in Çanakkale, and many too at Egypt, Georgia, and Galiçya) and if they won the war, i am sure that they would be one of the strongest nations at world again.

3.If YOu need any historical information about Ottoman Empire or things like this, i will be proud of helping you.
 
As Russia is the new sick man of Europe it doesn't seem unreasonable to give the Ottomans some extra industrial kick. German economic aid/intervention perhaps? Could then have events for German companies in the Ottoman Empire even?
 
German cores?

Shouldn't Germany have cores on Danzig, Memel, Poznan, Bydogzce (sp?) etc. - the 'original' territories of the Reich?
I would think that Germany would have cores on all the territory in European Germany - Liege, Bastogne, Luxembourg, etc - afterall it is 18 years after annexation.

Yeah, the Ottoman Empire is something I've been meaning to redo, once all the stuff with the other Great Powers has been worked out properly. 60-80IC might be a bit excessive - this would put it on the same level as France and Russia, and I really don't think it would be feasible to have the Ottoman economy grow that much, even with German investment! I was thinking more a total of 40-55, concentrated in a few key areas (eg. Western Asia Minor, Lebanon/Palestine, Northern Syria and Iraq), to reflect the places where most European money is going to have gone, especially after the completion of the Berlin-Baghdad railway (proposed route here: http://freepages.military.rootsweb....ographyOfTheGreatWar/images/Figure5-Page6.jpg).

Also, the Ottomans are going to have quite severe internal problems, with two main 'modernizing' factions within it (eg. Turkish and arab nationalists), as well as a Neo-Traditionalist group aiming to restore the past glories of the Empire. As such, while it could possibly become a major power again, its staying together isn't going to be a certainty!

Any suggestions for new or modified Ottoman ministers or tech-teams would be good at this stage, or suggestions from the vanilla files as to which should be used in the starting cabinet or need changing!

They definitely should for the more Germanic provinces in the East (eg. Danzig, Poznan, Memel), but I'm not sure about the majority Polish, Flemish and Walloon territories - the lack of the core would more reflect difficulties in controlling these areas and neccessary concessions made to minority groups (again, pity there's no 'culture' property in HOI2 like in every other Paradox game!).

Later therefore, there could be events to get Cores on these provinces, reflecting a thorough 'Germanisation' campaign, at the expense of annoying the French, Belgians and Poles...

Sorry for just bumping in with something "totally" different, anyway, are there any events for a war in Europe, between Commune of France and Germany for example? It is 1939 now.

Only the slim chance of one at the moment - if France invades Spain during the Civil War, Germany gets a 60:40 chance event to declare war. If this hasn't kicked in by 1936, then France and Germany will be at peace for forseeable future.

However, there will definitely be more possibilities for Franco-German wars in future!

I see, there haven't been any civil war in Spain so I guess I should just DOW them. :p

:D Good show!!

In the current alphas, you really have to cause trouble yourself to make things interesting!

Yep, by by syndicalists! Let the PAs take over instead! :D

Also Japan have conquered more than half of Russia now. :eek:

Hmmm, methinks it may be time to finally script that Russo-Japanese peace treaty event...
 
Out of curiosity, are there any event for the scandinavian countries to form a unified Scandinavia, through either peacefull or military means? Just a little fixation of mine...

Again, not yet, but in the making!

Plans are for either a Monarchic or Syndicalist Scandinavian Union to arise at some point. Any further suggestions on this (or better yet, outlined/coded events!) would be very much appreciated and speed things up massively.

Yeah, but if Siberia hasn't been formed then the wars can go on for a while - some sort of settlement event is still probably needed, with Japan getting the option to establish a puppet Siberia, give the region to Transamur or go for a full-on establishment of a pro-Japanese government over the whole of Russia (with Japanese naval bases in the Far East for each of these options...).
 
Would it be too far off to expect the Swedes to claim Finland and Norway back? If some ultra-nationalist party would rise to power, they would have probably tried to form united Scandinavia (ie. Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland), right? I doubt that the Baltic states would remain untouched either, but perhaps all this would happen against the Kaisers new order in Europe? That would certainly create an interesting scenario!

Can't speak for the rest, but Norway remained out of 1WW and while supportive of british, we would probably had continued with business as usual if Germany had won the war. Althought the uboat warfare deterioated the relationship, as Norway had one of the largest merchant fleets at the time. So a different outcome would probably not changed scandinavia much, beyond Denmark not gaining the northern part of Slesvig.

Also, there was little chance of revolution as social democrats got into power by peacefull means, and it had quite lot of support, which makes the possibility of a counter-movement hard. A scenario could be a union of sorts between the nations if they felt threathen by outside powers, which again is also unlikely as foregin powers had little to gain.

Sweden is really the best bet, they had controlled Norway and Finland at a point, so they might decide to recreate a swedish empire, and if there was an real outside threat, then most scandinavians would probably prefer being ruled by another scandinavian.
