How bulgaria can become byzantium while the real byzangium was their greatest enemy?and byzandium was a greek empire i dont get where the bulgarians connect to it.

All that may be true. But Czar Ferdinand none the less wanted to become byzantine emperor. I'm not saying the Czar's ambition was at all realistic. But it was still what he hoped for in real life, regardless of how much sense it may or may not have made to others.
Also I have high hopes for the success of your greek byzantine empire. Looking forward to trying it once its ready.

The Byzantine thing just gave me a stupid crazy idea.

What if Russia captured Bulgaria, Greece, and/or Turkey, and was allowed to recreate Byzantium as an Orthodox puppet (with Russia holding onto Constantinople directly for "safekeeping" against nationalists, hehehe)? If Ferdinand doesn't mind answering to the Russian Tsar, he could be Caesar. Any country Russia didn't conquer would have claims set on it by said puppet.

Pretty much this. Many of the Balkan client states left behind after Byzantium fell wanted to label themselves as the new Rome, and the way they viewed historical relations with the Greeks was usually rosy.

I cant agree with this, bulgaria for a time of period is true that tried it but it was defeated by the greeks, on the other hand the serbians were for the most time under greek influence, serbians and armenians were always the best friends of greece, just think that for 1500 years they had common borders and only one or two times small border wars

Number 1: This is alternative History so you don't have to agree and it doesn't need to be realistic but it can still be done.

Number 2: If Bulgaria spear headed a new Byzantine Empire after Ferdinand died there would be a chance that a Greek Monarch could seize control or even a Serbian Monarch or a Turkish one,. Just because a country returns it doesn't mean it's the same as it was hundreds of years ago, look at Mongolia and China for two examples. Anyway it would be interesting for there to be an inner power struggle after Ferdinand dies (or he could be assassinated by Greek nationalists or Ottoman loyalists). This would mean the capital could move around abit into Belgrade, Sofia, Istanbul or Athens. There could even be a new capital built at Thessalonika or in Macedon as a compromise between the major nationalities (Democracy route i reckon)

I'd like this to be made into an event chain as well as my Ottoman collapse and Israel rising idea last page. It would make the nations in the middle east and south east europe more interesting to play as. At the moment they are fairly dull to play as yet ok to observe. Plus if the Byzantines did return they would conflict with the arab countries and Israel because the Byzantines used to hold parts of the middle east and Egypt.

Hey, just downloaded this mod and I'm excited to try it out; but I can't load the game. I get to the menu, select a campaign, and hit "start", but the loading screen just freezes and my comp acts like there's nothing to load. Could I get some help? I'm using the Steam version of Darkest Hour, by the way.

I have the same problem ... Please, can someone help us ?

 

[BlaneckW]

Yes, you can not use Steam. I don't use Steam, so I can't help you.

 

[99KingHigh]

You can use steam, I use Kasserich with Steam.

 

[Zhetone]

As do I, and it works perfectly fine with me, just like every other Paradox game. I wish people would stop lying about mod compatibility with Steam.

 

[Czaristan]

I think I found an event bug as Russia. The integration of Mongolia never seems to fire. It looks like it requires event 751095 to have fired but I cannot find that event anywhere and it never seems to fire on its own (its the fate of Mongolia event)

 

[Barbaelectrica]

Anyone have the old kaiserreich 1.2 link for DH?

Thanks

 

[razorbird789]

There's a missing event for the Tian empire. It never integrates Manchuria.

 

[PanzerMan7]

so how does KR run with 1.03?

 

[Zhetone]

Yes.

 

[Testiosus]

Great! Thanks for the fast update of this mod, now I can use it in 1.03!

The Syndicalist uprising in Guinea doesn't work because National France immediately annexes Guinea without any combat taking place.
I think the same thing used to happen with the Ethiopian Civil War...rather sloppy.

I think ignoring the cruel realities of history is Censorship and frankly unjust to the victims.

Including it in a game intended to accurately simulate this period of history is not "Gaming" it.

Except we're talking about an alternate-history mod that's a twisted funhouse-mirror of our reality.

There's no history to be accurately simulated except for what the devs have created.

I believe the "Nationalist" front exists in part of Mitteleuropa. Mitteleuropa is the autocratic alliance, Entente is the democratic, and Internationale is the commie alliance.

Well, except that the Catholic Bloc and various crazy National Populists (Sternberg, Shanqing Tianguo) are certainly not going to be parts of Mitteleuropa. And the Entente is only sort of democratic (that is the cool thing, with event chains just about anybody can end up democratic or authoritarian).

The way I look at it is: the Internationale is the "left" (and sometimes fights amongst itself between Totalists and more sane leftists), the Entente is the revanchist right, and the Mitteleuropa is the established right. The Catholic Bloc are the reactionaries, and Russia is a wild card that's basically out for Russia, same with the Qing and Japan really.

True democracy is dying. America is fighting with itself to be the bastion

OTL is a world of extremes, democracy, communism and national socialism.

Kaiserreich is a world in doubt, the world is muddled and confused and nobody trusts each other. It is a world where extremism is nearly non-existent in the 30's.
