Hello folks!

I just wanted to tell that I was playing with Canada in the 1.3 beta3, and I have finally managed to liberate the UK for the first time ever. You have no idea how wonderful is this, even if Germany managed to grab some land in front of my eyes. Keep up the good work.

Btw, if I could make a suggestion, Iceland shouldn't remain neutral by 1939 or 1940. It should ally itself either the Syndies or the Entente, since if National France leaves me, I am just unable to make a landfall in Europe.

Cheers
 
Usually its a good idea to research the second naval range boost tech while stationing your initial invasion fleets on the island East of Canada, the name escapes me.

Overall, looks like a war with Germany is inevitable, the UK should start fielding carriers in a few years, so build it up and watch the UK AI go nuts as it reinforces the French which I am glad to see is on the mainland.

You can beat Germany, but invest in a large anti-infantry airforce, typically CAS and take up focused hit and run attacks where you punch in a weak hole, and focus all the CAS there, then fall back as the troops try to dig in. Then fall back in a few places to coax the Germans into your CAS.

Nice to see you got the Italians on side, they're an ok asset.
 
@KaiserMuffin: If my political system is a democracy, I am just unable to declare war on Iceland. There should be a decision which would allow me to do that.

@LiamRiordan: Thanks for the tips. Btw, National France left the Entente by 1936 or 1937. I liberated a "regular" France. Spain was syndie as well, so my invasion began there, then I moved to north, towards France. It's a miracle that I reached Paris before the Germans. Then, I liberated South Italy, and gave it to the North. Finally, I made a landfall at Portsmouth. Luckily, Germany was bombarding the UoB as well, so they made things a bit easier. Too bad they captured half of Scotland. Anyways, I'm planning to switch to UK, mainly because of the possibilities and higher manpower and since Canada gets handicapped a bit, it's not that much fun to play with her. I would rather like to build up everything myself, that gives plenty of fun as well.

P.S.: Russia beat Soviet Russia in about 4-5 years, because they were dug in so hard in Leningrad. Until then, Russia was quite passive. All the "expansionist" events should be decisions. (Like in case of Finland and Transamur as I saw.)
 
Which syndicalist nation beat Russia? I'm assuming its France.

The surrender event triggered for France, though to be honest it was me as the CSA who did most of the work. Pretty much everything else changed correctly except the nation name which remained the Russia Empire, also I believe that even before Russia had turned into a democracy since it's was social liberal and the head of state wasn't the Tsar when the war started, but it had too kept the name of Russian Empire and the Imperial flag
 
With all the coup events, why not add a persistent event that checks for certain heads of state that are installed as German/Russian puppet leaders? Then the flag change events could happen eventually rather than the chance of it cocking up. It's one way in my head that could work.

There seems to be a lot more flags in the 1.3, I've yet to actually see them all since I never check the gfx folders... But when I see a new flag in game I get all giddy since its new stuff, you could send the link to the flags and I could pass it on?

I'm still working with the designing. I've almost completed mittel europa. I have Lithuania, mittel afrika, the chinese company to do. Then I have Russia and a few others to do also.

I might post a picture of what I've done so far. But the real problem nations are Lithuania and White Ruthenia....the Germans can be overthrown quite easily and for a while the German aristocrat flag will still be there (if it's replacing the original).

I'll move on to the Russian set for now. Then I have to learn how to actually make them into flags/shields.
 
I am playing as Commune of France in the latest beta of KR 1.3., I managed to bring Syndycalism across Europe. And know as I see it I have three options: (and have questions about surrender events for this options)
1) I can invade North America, so If I defeated USA, Mexico or Canada, will I have events (as Commune of France) about creation of syndycalists coutries in North America?
2) Invasion into Far East, are there events for Commune of France about creation communists regime for example in China or Japan?
My final option is to swiched to Canada or USA and tried to defeat totalist Europe and bring democracy, so for Canada or USA is there events about creation democratic contries (I know about restoration of the UK) in Europe after defeat of Commune of France and it' allies?

It sounds like the Bitter Peace event fired to me, if the conditions for it are correct, and dissent high enough, there may be another revolution or they'll be on the path to revolution. The Bitter Peace events tend to stop nations from completely annexing Russia since its so huge.

Sounds good, keep up the work, even if they don't get in here, I'm sure other people would like to use them for their mods.

I can't recall the last time I invaded the USA as a Syndicalist, maybe back in 1.1, but I heard in one of the 1.3 BETA's there was event chains to handle the annexation of the USA. When it comes to Canada, if France or UoB take control of Canada there are events to handle this, and will spawn Socialist Republic of Canada and/or Quebec, depending on the choices made.

As for China and Japan, there are events for Russia in regards to China, but I honestly have no clue about Japan or any Euro nation taking any of the two nations. I think I'll have a test run as a big bad UoB to find out. :rolleyes:
 
And what about events where Canada or USA liberating Europe from Syndicalists forces? The thing is that almost in every game of KR German Empire almost almost win war against Commune of France, so it's almost impossible to see AI Commune France triumph in Europe. And my goal as USA or Canada to return Europe in KR to the democracy. So I really hope that there are events of Europe liberation by Canada, USA or at least UK.
By the way, is it fun to play as National France?

it's 'fun' in the dwarf fortress sense of the word.
 
I believe the Eagle in the top left would be more appropriate, since the Kingdom of France has that style already, and that it would be like the Germans trying to 'Dominionize' the continent somewhat while attempting to appease some nationals by keeping most of their 'colours' intact.
 
Yeah, seeing it all lined up has given a new perspective. I really don't want them to look like colonies...think I'm going to have to make it a bit more subtle.

But as for the Kingdom of France. That's what it is. In fact, the current German puppet flag has bourbon imagery...not sure what that's about.

I don't think it was bitter peace because Russia became Syndicalist and a french puppet, the flag changed to the soviet one and the ministers too, only the name remained unchanged. Also when the peace events fired the French choose the revolution must continue (or something similar to that) which I assume is refusing a chance to coexist with the Empire.
 
I like the one for Flanders-Wallonia (assuming that's what the top middle one is). I also think the top-left would be a good alternative for Mittelafrika.

Otherwise, I agree with Liam that they look more like colonies than dominions.
 
Yes, I finally did a game as Canada where I liberated the UK! Though it was mainly because the Danubian Federation, which sided with the Entente, somehow made a landing on Essex or some province in the south at 1942 or '43. I was literally stunned in bafflement, but I decided to make the most of it. From there, it was easy taking on the rest of the Union's forces. Sure the DF got most of the provinces, but in the end they returned them to the UK. Germany was also a dick before it was over, as usual, by landing in Glasgow right before I was about to take it, getting Manchester as well somehow. I hate Germany. :mad:

Yeah. I'm going to model it more on my Russian set, which I will submit to the KR team. Top left is a lot more appropriate.


EDIT: Here's the Russian set.

Again, it looks a bit crazy when they're bunched up together. But I don't think these ones go too far, especially if you imagine them in game.

I prefer them looking more like the Duchy of Finland (Finland as Russian puppet)

@TremblingBlue

The only thing that bugs me about the designs is the yellow square. It kind of blends badly against the rest of the colors. Removing the square would make it look a lot better, at least to my eyes. Maybe make it bigger and more focused on, like Davis said with the Finland flag.

Argh. That makes my job so much harder :(...I'm not sure I can find the imperial standard on it's own... That's the coat of arms of the Finnish duchy on the Finnish flag...really the duchy carried the Russian flag.

So far in the game the majority of Russian puppets have the Russian eagle emblem on a yellow background, so I was going by that.

The Square on the Russian flag at the start is the original Russian Empire flag of that design. I'm not that great at editing, so I'm not totally sure how to separate the eagle from the back ground...if you know what I mean.

I'm not sure what to do now...with my German flags, the emblem made them look a bit like colonies. I understand with Finland, the Baltic states, Manchuria and Sinkiang...but I don't know if it would work with Germany and the others.
