So, I started playing Kaiser not long ago, and ... newb questions incoming.
I made a game with la Commune, choosed the mobile doctrine, industrialization, well, the most interesting doctrines, sliders, manpower, etc, at the price of dissent, that I know will get down a lot with Congress, Spartak (in Dijon, for -5%). I then focus on industry, so that by mid 37, I have around 185 base industry, with huge bonus (total war for +10% efficiency) it'll be around 300 available, and start making some secondary, including one stack of fleet, some troops to guard the coast (discovered that the german empire sometimes invade Brest or Marseille by amphibious assault), aircrafts, some infantry.
I focus a lot on armor once I got the tech, I can get ~25 armor (mostly light), but I don't have much mp for infantry (around 40). Even with the election +100mp event, the women at work, etc, I don't have a lot, and that's my issue.
I have around 650mp at start, with a .3 increase, but I've got plenty of units to build, which will lower way my pool. At the start of the war (this one started with socialist italy dow the italian federation), I've got around 250, but that's far from enough. My spies report that Germany got around 800 (and even through the war, where my mp drastically lower, german's mp increases to 900), Russian is in 1800, etc. The enemy got big stacks of ~25 div on each regions, so battles are quite brutal, and I quickly lose plenty of mp. After conquerring Italy, Spain (the Carlist were still fighting), Belgium and Denmark, I simply can't go on, because I'll fall out of reinforcements. So, I wonder how to win over Germany, with so few mp. Is mid 39 too early to get in war ?
Another question is, is there any way to really help the other revolutions ? From what I've seen, Soviet Russia, or CSA get crushed most of the time, even when I send the most help I can, except for the rare event where Soviet Russia take over Russia. I've seen the government of Ukraine fall for syndicalist too, but that's all. Things like Burma, Vietnam got pretty good chances though.
Also, the countries border Germany/Russia, like White Ruthenia, United Baltic got huge chance of getting coup (can get to 20% with the right minister), but it doesn't have much effect. They'll turn totalist, still be in Alliance with Germany (or puppet, or nothing), and in a year, the relation will be at 50+, and they will still dow me when there's war with germany. I guess puppets wouldn't have much choices (even seems strange that Germany allows totalist puppets), but the other countries should break down with Germany, and maybe join the Internationale.
