Kaiserreich

Ideas are always welcome of course!

Probably the biggest issue I have with the Internationale is that it's a duopoly between the Commune and the UoB (who aren't even technically a member of the Internationale at the start of the game) with the RSI reduced to the status of a bit player. Despite being the most advanced syndicalist nation in the world apart from the CoF and UoB and an actual Internationale member, the RSI actually has less influence than the Bhartiya Commune. Their only real function at Conferences is to petition the French to help them retake Italy: they can't pledge support to John Reed, (despite the fact that supporting an American Revolution would be something the RSI would be very interested in, due to the large Italian-American population and the ongoing mafia issue.) or the CNT-FAI, (though they can offer to shelter their leaders IIRC, but only if the French refuse) don't play any role in the Damocles Project (despite having one of the world's top nuclear physicists at their disposal) and they have no means of supporting the Bolsheviks (they don't even get a "Russian Civil War" decision, IIRC) or any other Syndie nation whatsoever. Nor can they opt to pursue crazy foreign ventures to spread syndicalism abroad (like the Bhartiya Commune can in Burma and the Philippines) and not starting ridiculous and potentially risky military campaigns simply isn't Mussolini's style.

Now, I'm not saying that the RSI should have a level of influence on par with the CoF or the UoB - that's simply unrealistic. They could however play a role similar to that which Cuba played in the Communist movement in our timeline: a nation which despite its relative poverty punches well above its weight in diplomatic terms due to a vigourous economic/military aid programme. To be more specific, I think the RSI could do with a little more influence at Congresses (offering support to the CSA and CNT, offering to send advisors to the BC, perhaps some small participation in the Damocles Project? It would make sense given Fermi's role in the Manhattan Project IRL) and perhaps have the option of engaging on a few "liberation" ventures in traditionally left-leaning areas of the Balkans, (I'm thinking mainly Greece and Albania here) at least if the Totalists happen to be in power.

Also, random question: why does neither Italy have cores on Trieste?

 

[^_AC_^]

I see your points, but I doubt I'll be able to do anything in my free time. I never had any involvement in the Damocles Project so I can't comment on that. I've no objections to events for supporting the CNT-FAI, the CSA or the Soviets during their civil wars.

IIRC both nations get cores on Trieste (and Trento IIRC) by event after taking control of it.

Is there any event for Germany to annex Austria and gain claims on them? I've seen the German party win the elections, but nothing really happened after that.

 

[raider75]

I keep on getting a bunch of "unknown string wanted" events when I load the game and when I click on Germany's motorized divisions the game crashes. Also, in the box to turn an infantry division into say; a mountain division, it says "unknown string wanted." I just reinstalled DH and this is a 100% clean vanilla install of DH. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

 

[f1nalstand17]

I was playing as Germany and annexed Austria, after which I received an event about what I want to do with them. I chose the "An Old Idea" event which gives me claims on all of Austria, and raised my dissent by 5%. I received this event multiple times over the course of several months, and I ended up with 70% Dissent Is there any way to fix this? Is this a known bug?

Sounds like a bad install to me. Did you patch DH to 1.03?
Did you extract the latest version of KR to the mods folder and not over a copy of DH full?

It's a known bug and will be fixed in the next release. In the meantime you can do the following.

Open the text file Annexations.txt in Darkest Hour\Mods\Kaiserreich\db\events\Other and search for the event number 996010.
Add the following below the NOT = { line

		core = { province = 195 data = -1 } #Vienna
		claims = { province = 195 data = -1 } #Vienna

If anything, flipping Italy would explain why the hell the Austrians have cores on Venice and the rest of northeast Italy- the people there have decided that Viennese control is still preferable to being run by the Reds, like with Lorraine and Germany. Anyway, here's what I brainstormed up for this:

1- The southern state gains Anzio, Rome, Livorno, Perugia, Florence, and Ancona. This (Sort of) balances resources and IC and gives them a nice natural border with the Northern Apennines.
2- Cede Nice, Chambery, and Corsica go back to France. If the north is Syndicalist, they're not going to keep their friend's rightful territory.

Final IC and Resource Balance (Before Minister and other modifiers):
North: 27 IC, 10 Energy, 23 Metal, 22 Rare Materials, 15 Manpower
South: 29 IC, 11 Energy, 17 Metal, 20 Rare Materials, 23 Manpower

A map of this whole thing:

The biggest problem is the north's lack of manpower (Matches France's), and it's "Shallowness"- the south can give ground, but if the north starts to rout early on it's all over. Adding a victory point on Sardinia could fix that, and give France time to send backup. There's all the events and lore to rework besides this and it'd be a huge shakeup, but it's something to think about for Hearts of Iron IV at least.

 

[LordTempest]

Would say, Mussolini, automatically consider Nice and Corsica to be rightful Commune clay though?

Question: Would it be possible to convert Kaiserreich to the E3 Map without tremendous effort?

It would require a gargantuan amount of work.

 

[Davisx3m]

It would require a gargantuan amount og work.

But didn't someone start doing it?

 

[Ericafaq]

But there no reports about this progress.Will AI in new ver much agressive?I mean will much brutal in events about expansion,will Russian AI try restore 1914 borders?Wil USA AI always try to join entente.Can and Fra are poor,and they nothing against communa

Yeah, that's what I was looking for!!

Does'nt this mean that there is no papacy anymore? They are important to the Kaiserreich universe!

 

[LordTempest]

No, it would simply mean that the Syndies (red) are in the North and the Pope (green) in the south.

 

[Davisx3m]

No, it would simply mean that the Syndies (red) are in the North and the Pope (green) in the south.

And that actually makes sence, that way the French would have been able to support the Syndies much easier.

 

[Wolfen_84]

I think that in this case, Bologna could become a very strategic position to be conquered by the AH empire and the Papacy, if they are allied, so they can connect each others...

 

[LordTempest]

And that actually makes sence, that way the French would have been able to support the Syndies much easier.

On the other hand, it does make it a lot harder for the Austrians to support and apply pressure on the Italian Federation and the idea of them forcing a King on the IF becomes a lot less plausible.

Eh, what?

 

[LordTempest]

I believe he's complaining about the AI (especially the Entente AI) not being aggressive enough.
