Kaiserreich

Not that it matters, as it's completely and utterly irrelevant. The assumption made is that the Red Army lost the Russian Civil War and therefore could not push the Baron out of Mongolia, which then became the Baron's state, which might make sense, considering that they're the ones who pushed him out. Mongolia is, like Transamur, a small bit of Russia which was formed by a White Russian after the Civil War but which Russia has not YET taken back. Russia is weak at the beginning of KR, you must remember. Therefore, the Baron holding Mongolia is believable, though I think there should be more civil unrest in Mongolia over him ruling, considering how bloody his short-lived rule was in Mongolia.

Nonetheless, a Syndicalist Japan is still nonsense. It's like suggesting a Syndicalist Pope, or a Syndicalist German Empire; it doesn't make sense.

See this? This right here is what I want as well.

Democratic Japan is just so blooming bland.

It's been on my wish list for quite some time as well, but I'm stuck on tikka masala duty, i.e. making the Indian theatre at least somewhat playable.

You'll have to provide some sources that aren't wikipedia.

Ignoring my surprise at wiki being ruled out, I refer to Zhetone's post.

Just a note to say how much I love this mod, I've played all the majors and a couple minors (Ottomans, Brazil) and each is interesting and presents challenges. I like the Russians the best, though, as they seem to be fleshed out the most, and they seem to lead to the bibiggest battles, like last game where I launched 15 divisions of paratroopers and 18 marine divisions in a massive invasion of the Union of Britain's east coast, which made our world's D-Day look like a minor raid. Kudos!

Your link isn't anything. It's just his name. My disbelief isn't at his existence, it's at the ridiculous assertion that he would reform a Mongolian empire, and be worshiped as the second coming of Genghis Khan by the natives. It's relevant because Sternberg is just one of the many unrealistic things about Kaiserreich. Saying there shouldn't be a syndicalist Japan because it "doesn't make sense" would be either hypocritical or redesigning the entire mod.

 

[Zhetone]

No, my link is an encyclopedia which agrees with what we're saying. Encyclopaedia Britannica is not Wikipedia. It's an academic source.
He propped up the leader of Mongolia and asserted independence and nationalism in Mongolia.
Just drop the issue. It's stupid.

Hell! This discussion again? I tought the first time was quite clear.

Ridiculous, you say? Ridiculous are your reckless false assertions. He was worshipped as a god. In fact, even nowadays he is worshipped. ¿Do you want the source? Ok, take note:

James Palmer. The Bloody White Baron. Edited by Faber & Faber. First Edition. 2008.

A couple of quotes:

[At the ceremony of Bogd's restoration as Khan of Mongolia] Ungern himself was declared [by the Bodg Khan] to be the reincarnation of the Fifth Bogd Gegen, the Bogd Khan's predecessor, a rather dull figure of the early nineteenth century. [...] He was also made a khan, as well as being granted a hereditary double princedom and the splendid title of Outstanding Prosperous-State Hero. There were rewards, too, for Ungern's fellow Russians and his Mongolian allies, most of whom became Heroes os some variety - roughly equivalent to the Europena 'knight'.

Page 162.

The liberation of Urga made Urgern extremely popular among the Mongolians. Widely viewed as a saviour and Buddhist hero, his reputation as living god spread throughout Mongolia.

A couple of quotes:

Having read that excellent book, I think Palmer's pretty clear that Sternberg running Mongolia for the long term (more than a few years) was pretty unlikely, due to his belligerence and lack of interest in day-to-day administration. Still arguably more likely than a Syndicalist revolution in Japan, though.

Thank you for providing a credible source, I will proceed to eat my own words now. You don't need to sound so hostile though.

In that case he'd probably entrust his Head of Government to do the day-to-day administrating. Assuming an impotent Russia and turbulent China, as well as a Germany that has its own problems in West Europe, he'd probably be able to get away with a lot before any of the great powers got around to dealing with him (assuming he's got the cunning to go with the cojones).

Hello,
There seems to be a bug with the German events for the accedence of Bohemia and Poland to Mitteleuropa. The events (901041 and 9980042) both have the "command = { type = alliance which = x }" I'm using 1.03 RC1/RC2 with the newest Kaiserreich beta. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I think Sternberg's rule as modern ruler seems unlikeky, but as some sort feudal king/emperor I think it is quite possible since day to day administration can be assigned to this or that nobleman, as blitzthedragon says.

About a Syndicalist evolution in Japan I will not say anything because I have no clue.

Thank you for providing a credible source, I will proceed to eat my own words now. You don't need to sound so hostile though.

The hostility comes mainly from my experience in the Internet. I was expecting some sort of desperate and equally hostile counterattack from you. No offense intended.

Long Capital ship Construction times.

Hey everyone! Not sure whether this is a bug in the 1.4 beta or it is a new balancing feature but Ive noticed capital ship construction times have increased substantially, to construct aircraft carriers now takes around 1000 days, battleships 1200 and super heavy battleships 1500

Another question, how come producing infantry is so IC intensive in KR compared to the base game? I'm not even really using Armoured division either anymore :sad:

Thanks!

Quick question can anyone recommend any good navy builds? I usually go for carriers or submarine deathstacks but fancied something different, has anyone else found that building an airforce isnt all that useful compared to just lots of land divisions?

OTL Japan had a repressed Communist party, and Japan at the start of the mod is a semi-democracy.

A Syndicalist Imperial Japan would of course be foolish.

As far as Naval builds go I just tend to go with the simple combination of "10 Destroyers : One Carrier". Just give the Destroyers whatever additions you want, ASW, Torps etc.

Events for Ottoman victory in the war against the Arab Bloc don't seem to work.
I annexed all the countries and puppeted Persia, but I'm not getting anything. Also, Cyprus never revolted, though that may be irrelevant.
I haven't got the event which declares that I've won, nor have I got the follow-up events that event #077171 triggers, due to that event not working. Even when I fire 077171 from the console, though, while it pops up, the follow-up events do not, nor can I trigger the follow-up events via console for some reason; maybe they're broken.

Also, while at war with Kurdistan, Libya and Albania revolted. However, I could not declare war on them since they were allied with me, even through the option which is meant to declare war.
There are no follow-up events for Albania, even though it would be nice to either integrate them (which would anger Balkan countries) or puppet them with an appropriate monarch. Same goes for Oman, Libya, etc.

I have a question about Kaisserreichs build times and manpower system...how would I ideally be able to transfer those over to DH full?

Perhaps it can be done... perhaps it can be done.

CTD on date in early 1937, event is presumably the cause, with 1.4 beta 1 from the KR forums, savegame included for debug/testing:

[DrinkingHeavily]

Playing 1.4, I'd like to upgrade some of the starting navy with brigades.. but currently we can't. Is that WAD? is there a better way to add torpedos other than build one with torpedos attached [or battleships with attachments, etc] and edit the savegame? Even the subs that Germany gets via event don't have torpedos.
