The general line sounds good. Possibly would also need some chance for South Africa to state an interest as well - this could therefore spark off a more general war in Africa, rather than just result in a Mittelafrikan land grab! (This might also give Germany a chance to fight a proxy war using South Africa against a rebellious Mittelafrika, rather than needing to directly attack itself....)
With regards to the backstory, Portugal would have been (along with the British Dominions and Japan) included in the Honorable Peace of 1921 - this being the main reason why they were allowed to keep the colonies after the war. However, I definitely see can't any thing wrong with there being in the terms of the treaty or negotiations which would give Mittelafrika an excuse to declare the settlement with regards to Portugal null and void!

Could definitely be! I was going to add him earlier, but have only just put in Berlichingen's new tech-teams and not messed about with them at all yet.
Anyway, it was that a number of 'idle' muslim sultas/princes in Aden and states like that are supporting Somali separatists. Abyssinia is unable to enforce proper border control and eventually some weapons from somalis end up in the hands of separatists of the Freistaat.Sarmatia1871 said:
Eventually Göring has had enough and decides to 'enforce the law' on Abyssinia. Invasion proceeds, and there are some additional options when it comes to chopping up the horn of africa colonies ranging between various degrees of german/MAF/local control.
I was thinking that SA could pull out an intervention if it is...enough agressive when MAF invades Abyssinia.Sarmatia1871 said:

Ah, a man after my own heart! I too was toying with the idea of a Collins-O'Duffy parnership. I'm currently reading Peter Hart's excellent biography of Collins, and it seems O'Duffy would be the perfect partner: he was extremely unpopular except amongst his own small militia, so would be no threat to Collins. In fact, Collins is reported to have named him as his successor (I have this is from Wikipedia though, so it could be nonsense). Think Hitler and Himmler only without the evil... O'Duffy did go the way of Oswald Mosely in OTL but I'm sure in the circumstances of Kaiserreich he could be persuaded to moderate himself

Well, Collins was surprisingly anti-Clerical in his day but with age comes Conservatism, I guess. That's the great thing about assassinated leaders in counterfactuals, you can make them do anything and it remains plausible!
Syndicalism in Ireland, I would guess, would be centered around Jim Larkin, who was not a particularly efficient character. Hopefully I can find someone less ridiculous to lead the movement, though I'd still like to keep James Connolly dead. Actually, this is probably gibberish to everyone else, sorry!
Anyway, if I get the chance tomorrow, I'll draw up a plan about an irish events series. My worry is that I'll get ahead of myself and end up with an irish empire across Europe...

How restrictive would the Kaiser's regime be? I ask because Einstein was an avowed pacifist, and later on in life he praised a leftist social democrat stance. That being said, he did stay working in Berlin during World War I, but his stances gave him criticism from Anti-Semites *and* nationalists.
Perhaps if Germany reaches a significantly high belligerence level, or maybe after socialist and syndicalist rebellions start flaring in the world, there should be an event deciding whether Germany should clamp down on "leftist and counternational elements". It could be like the Soviet Great Purge events, either sleeping Einstein and some other passivist/leftist teams and ministers or taking a massive dissent hit.

Are you downloading it with 'WinRAR'? If yes then hold down 'Shift' before you click the download button! It should be downloadable now!

just as a comment, there are going to be events for the American Civil War to end because I now have to go and conquer islands in the pacific and i cant deploy units there because i conquered it from the US. I'm the CSA. And also California never secceded in my game, are those events in yet or not i'm wondering.

Ah yes, I remember now! That can be done at some point (and also your Finnish/Norwegian ideas from earlier should be added too...)

Cool - probably best to keep things domestic initially (eg. power struggles inside Ireland), and base foreign policy events around these, as well as the rest of the planned global situation (esp. relating to France, Britain and Canda).
Also, Bretagne is going to be added fairly shortly as a user-defined country (so an additional Celtic ally...), and I might also add Ulster, if ministers can be found, for potential civil wars...

The German Empire wasn't very oppresive per se, but some sort of clampdown if an extremist group gets into power or if the SPD gets too militant wouldn't be out of the question.
Another possible avenue is that in the immediate pre-war period, the Universities were becoming something of a bastion of right-wing and reactionary thought, particularly in subjects like the new social sciences -> So, these political tendencies could possibly spread to other Departments in the mod's timeframe, and the Government may have to mediate if the reactionaries want to force out questionably devoted but skilled scientists and academics...

Many thanks. Also, what do people reckon would be Collins' 'personality' as a Head of State, Head of Government and Chief of Staff?
