:D Ah, he is alive!

Actually, if there is available time to make things, could you try and construct a Russia skin for 'All the Russias'?

Sure, can you give me some starting points? Leaders, politics, etc . . .


Now that I have gotten all my paperwork done for my state and national chess tournament trips, and my hockey association yearbook almost done I will be around more regularly. Also th addiction to Delux Ski Jump 3 is fading :rofl:

This is the composition of the XIV Corps:

Das XIV. Armeekorps

( Stand 1914 )

I marked the Füssilier Regiment Karl Anton because it's not from Baden.
The first Regiment Number ist the Number from Baden, the second the Number from the Prussian Army.

The atm in Freiburg stationed Rheinische... were orig. garrisoned in Trier/Coblenz/Saarbrücken.

Cool - these might be a bit too much to be implemented as actual Corps and Regiments given the current OOB (it would mean that about 1/4 German army would come from Baden - :D !), but I'll definitely use some of the names!

Excellent! Politics and leaders are tricky as the whole point with 'All the Russias' is that you choose these as you go along (there are about 10-12 differen HoS and HoG's...). So, probably something as generic as possible would be good - eg. flag, map, soldiers...
 
This thread is getting so long I think it'd be time to open up some Kaiserreich-Forum with subthreads for certain topics it's really difficult to find out of a certain topic has already been adressed :(

Tried an Austria game today and it went quite interesting, what I noticed is the severe lack of naval leaders (there's not even one able to command their starting navy...) and naval techs, I think they should at least get all the techs for the ships they have at the beginning and at least half a dozen more leaders with one or two Admirals among them.

Will take a look at US leader files as soon as I have some more time, would it be enough to just sort through them and "randomly" pick some for each revolting faction? Unfortunately I don't know what leader would "fit" into which faction...

yeah,
Kaiserreich and Sarmatia1871 should definitely start lobbying for it's own sub-forum

It already has more comments than Stony Road, TRP, DAIM and Grand Battle Mod.

Fair enough, I can do that. Maybe Tonight, maybe not till tomorrow. If we get a big ice storm tonight like is in the forecast school may be off tomorrow and then I can dive into graphics during the day . . .

I have to agree, it is becoming a chore to find things that have already been discussed or not. But I think Sarmatia1871 has already stated he doesn't want a sub-forum :eek:

Cool, many thanks!

EDIT: To help, here are a load of relevant pictures I've got:

Could you also possibly convert these into black and white event pictures, if time permits?

:) Not that I didn't want a subforum per se, but that I thought it would be unlikely to get one here at the moment - owing to the fact that the MDS hasn't got one yet (for some reason) and there are eight HOI2 mod subforums already, which I think is more than any other forum.

However, it probably would be something very useful to have, as the thread really is getting monstrous, and I've tended to give up on finding anything posted before the last Alpha! (particularly with no viable search function...)

But I'd still be against getting one elsewhere, which would need to be organised by someone ( :p ), and would make a risk of cutting the project off from the main Forum community.

Anyway, I did actually PM Tracid a couple of weeks ago about the subforum issue. He said that he would see what could be done but wasn't promising anything...

Yeah, Austrian naval leaders and techs might be an idea! I've put some new Habsburg ministers in, so I suppose a few of those could be ugraded to leaders. And if Slovenia has any naval leaders I suppose a few of them could be added...

For the American leaders, random selections are probably okay ( :) - I'm sure the Americans here will point out any discrepencies!) - although check to see if the various military-orientated Ministers in the revolter states files have counterparts in the leader file.
 
Sarmatia

Have you got any outline ideas for the direction to be taken by the three states in India? I'm getting a few ideas but want to know how they mesh with any existing plans.

No real existing plans for these countries at the moment whatsoever -> Just Delhi is pro-British at the start, but should get the opportunity to go a bit more 'Mughal'; the Princely Federation has a pretty open foreign policy; and Bengal is going to be a bit more pro-syndicalist (could conceivably be a reasonably good ally for a communist Indochina...)

I actually have sort if an idea for even more troubles in the world... :p

- Bengal decides to help it's socialist brothers in Indochina. The problem is that they are currently underground and there are two countries between them.
- Bengal decides to start smugling arms through Yunnan. This can either work, work but cost a small amount of money, or then Yunnan slaps the smuglers passing through there
- In any case Bengal may decide to make another smugling route...through Burma and Thailand
- Burman can look it through it's fingers, make the smuglers pay some toll or slap the smuglers
- If Burma allows the smuglers to go through, Thailand will get similar options as Yunnan and Burma, BUT...
- If Thailand decides to slap smuglers it also gets the option to attack Burma in the name of border control.. ;)

Also, I ran a test of Balkan wars as Serbia.

Bulgarians managed to annex Greece before I took control of Romania and finally ground the pesky Bulgarians to dust...it was a hard fight. Perhaps too hard for AI.
 
Perhaps we should have Gandhi as a minister for Bengal, perhaps even as a head of state/government? (of course he wouldn´t be syndicalist, but something a bit more democratic...)

Perhaps Vasily Ulrich would be a suitable candidate for a replacement minister of security for the VBH? He was a german-russian baltic nobleman, who (in our timeline) headed the soviet supreme court and the trials following the assasination of Kirov.

Good event idea plans!

When the Balkan war events were working properly, the anti-Bulgarian alliance tended to win pretty much every time - but that was before I cut Romania's army by about half (it was much too big previously). So, more tests probably needed....

Yeah, Gandhi was actually quite into communitarian/peasant socialist type ideas, but obviously with a bit of a Hindu-ist tinge, so this would fit in quite well with Bengal. Might be a bit too pacifistic to be a very prominent leader though...

And Vasily Ulrich sounds good - are there are any pictures of him anywhere?
(Done a quick search and found nothing!)

I´d put him as a Man of the People Minister of Security.

I was quite amazed of how little there is on him on the net (indeed, all I found that was referring to him were some old supreme court records. I can only direct you to "Stalin. The Court of the Red Tsar" for some scattered information, such as 'Ulrich handled the court proceedings where [...] was tried'.
 
CCurio said:
Hmmm, could there possible be events for unification of India? If nothing else then possibility for the state that has conquered changing into "India" and getting cores? :p

Or perhaps claiming all of old British India! :eek:
Click to expand...

Well, the IND tag is currently being used by the Princely Federation, so becoming 'India' would be tricky.

But extra cores might be an idea if certain areas were conquered -> Although as there was never a single state covering the same sort of (very diverse!) area as modern India before 1949, this shouldn't be easy!
