Russia Skin

Here is the Russia Skin

let me know if you need any changes, and be aware I will be gone all weekend with my team at the State Chess Tournament . . .

So how's this going, then?

Steady as she goes.



Hmmm, well, we have playable beta which keeps me happy.

Currently playing Russia, the last hope of democracy for the world! Opressors of the masses beware, Tuchachevsky and his Mobile Operation Command will be the spearhead of freedom and Social Liberalism!

Many thanks! I was thinking it would be more useful for the ministers, leaders and provinces, where there are lots of potential options, they often look very similar and are difficult to find...

Hmmmm, I may poke around with the files today.

Aha! A surprise gift - many thanks!

And the Russian skin is very good - I especially like the mounted Cossack!

Glad you liked the skin, I'm afraid I'm not feeling very creative right now, head cold and sinus infection . . .

Three indian country descriptions for you all to look at:

PAK; Delhi

The syndicalist revolution in Britain precipitated the collapse of the British Empire. In India a combination of princes, rajahs, nationalists and syndicalists started breaking up the sub-continent. Realising the irretrevable nature of the disaster Governer-General Isaacs, now left only with north-west India, chose to create a free nation himself and by doing so ensured that it would remain friendly to royalist interests. The move recieved harsh criticism form some - India was after all the Jewel of the Empire - but the royalist government realised and accepted the necesssity of the move in the short-term. The new state of Delhi has thus remained in a close partnership with Canada and its allies. Muhammed Shuja Al-Mulk was placed on the throne as Prince of Delhi, and has been advised by a mised group of Indians and British advisors. In the decade since its formation Delhi has struggled to consolidate its position in India, clearing out several of the smaller regimes that had sprung up and maintaining a strong front against the syndicalist forces in Bengal. However unrest is growing in its lands as syndicalist spies and sympathisers use anti-colonial propaganda to stir up the peasantry. At the same time rumours have begun to spread about a possible resurrection of the Mughal Empire, which dominated India in the 16th and 17th centuries. Indeed some rumours suggest that an heir of the Mughal royal family itself survives and if these are true he may prove to be a focus for rebellion in the future.



IND; Princely Federation

With the revolution of 1925 going on in Britain India became a power vacuum which various factions raced to fill. The creation of a federal state in the south was more an attempt by the local rulers to protect their lands and riches from the chaos. Nevertheless it proved able to become a stable nation, one in which each of the local princes and rajahs had a say in government. Unsurprisingly tensions have arisen amongst the lowers classes of society about their exculsion from political life in the Federation. A few of the rajahs believe that Bengalese synidcalist influences are behind the unrest, although there is no evidence for that view. The Princely Federation by 1936 controls the entire southern part of the subcontinent but further expansion is limited by their two big neighbours - Bengal and Delhi. This suits the ruling princes just fine as their neighbours also prevent aggression from other nations and at the moment strong isolationist factions dominate the ruling elite. Perhaps the one exception concerns the island of Ceylon, which is currently in German hands. Many of the rajahs feel that the island could all too easily act as a base for new waves of colonial aggression into India, this time from Germany. Unfortunately Germany has already refused two offers to buy the island from them and concern is thus growing. In 1936 then the Princely Federation is for the most part inward looking and focused on stability rather than expansion but potential for conflict exists just across the seas.

PRK; Bengal

In the complete collapse of British control of India that came in 1936 it was the growing syndicalist movement in India that was first to act. On October 19th 1925 the People's Republic of Bengal was proclaimed in Calcutta. Of course in reality it was not as easy as that. While the British garrisons were by then being withdrawn many other groups opposed the new state and it was not untill 1927 that Bengal was at peace, by which time two other large Indian states were in place blocking further syndicalist expansion. Thus the government of Bengal chose tu look inwards temporarily, rooting out 'imperialist sympathisers' and trying to repair the damage caused to infrastructure and industry by the chaos, while also avoiding the attentions of Germany who was not sympathetic to the syndicalist state. In the early 30's Bengal began to look outwards once more. Unwilling to risk a large scale war immediately Bengali foreign policy instead aimed at supporting syndicalist movements in its neighbours in the hopes of causing political collapse, which would allow a military invasion to take place. By 1936 there was evidence that this strategem was beginning to bear fruit in Indo-china and in Delhi.


You may note that there are some more ideas in the descriptions for potential events too.

I'd imagine the Union of Britain would be much more likely to intervene in Scandinavia than France - the French navy is a bit pathetic, and it's doubtful whether they'd be able to give much meaningful support across the North Sea. Britain meanwhile is closer, has a better navy, and is likely to see the Scandinavian lefties as its 'Nordic Brothers.' There's a strong likelihood that France and Britain would be allied, but I definitely don't want to make it guaranteed...

As I want Britain and France to spend 1936 sorting out their internal politics and foreign policy stances, these sorts of foreign intervention events would probably fire in 1937-40.

I quite liked CCurio's general sketch for a potential Scandinavian war being bought on by British support for Norwegian Socialists (it's been posted a couple of times, I think...). And other situations involving Sweden, Finland and Denmark would be good. I'm not actually sure whether Germany would want to back Finland too much - they Finnish government might be a bit too extreme and destabilising, and a monarchist Sweden would be a much more natural ally.

Actually I wasn't going to make a swedish-finnish war definite by any means, and any sort of intervention less so. (my ideas is essentially that One of the parties, Finland possibly, has the option of letting the Germans handle the mediation of the dispute, this means Germany essentially gets to decide (should they accept) and is bound to DOW should the "Loser" refuse to accept the decision. Only ones Germany actually gets involved does the Syndicalists get to join in.

This mod is amazing, I downloaded the alpha a couple days ago and it's totally awesome, I can't wait for the full release.

80 pages is a lot to look through, so if it was said before I apologize, but do you need any help with the Japanese navy? I've got a pretty extensive knowledge on the Post WWI 8-8 Program and all the large capital ships Japan intended to build or was building but were scrapped because of the Washington Treaty. Which also begs the question: in this alternate history, does the Washington Treaty even occur?

I'd be more than happy to lend some info to help you guys come up with an IJN OOB.

As far as I know the the Washington Treaty doesn't occur.

Replace the current U08 parts with these...

U08;Empire of Japan;Empire of Japan;Empire of Japan;Empire of Japan;Empire of Japan;Empire of Japan;;;;;X <- world_names.csv

And I got a basic minister file for Empire of Japan, but it needs to have it's id's tweaked, I believe.

I'm playing as Russia.

Problem! I chose to ally with Japan over the Transamur thing, and it removed me from my alliance with the USA/Bulgaria/Greece! I don't even have the option to declare war on them anymore. Every time I highlight the "declare war", it is dark and says I cannot declare war until March 1939. It is April 1939!

What's happening?!

Firstly you left your original alliance in order to join the new alliance with Japan I believe.

As for declaring war I'm not certain - could be linked to the fact that you're probably now in Japan's war with China but thats only a wild guess.
