We, the Kaiserreich Team, are proud to present the most popular alternate history mod for Hearts of Iron II & Darkest Hour! Originally thought by Sarmatia in 2005 the mod has since developed into one of the most fun to play with, with hundreds of new events, new graphics, new countries (Freistaat Mittelafrika anyone?) and much, much more! Rewrite history (again) but this time in Darkest Hour!

For easy discussions, updates and information, Kaiserreich has its own Subforum - The Kaiserreich Forum

A Few Notes on Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg version 1.7

***



A Few Words on Bugs

Kaiserreich contains thousands of events made over the course of a decade. If you find a bug which has been reported but not fixed in the current version, it is not because the Kaiserreich team is out to get you, but more likely because we simply overlooked it. Please report it in as a detailed way as is possible and we'll do our best to fix it.

A Few Notes on the Tenth Anniversary

We are extremely grateful that we managed to keep our fanbase for ten whole years! Where we, the ever changing dev-team together with the fans filled the world
of Kaiserreich with content! It wouldn't have been possible to grow this huge without you! I personally would also like to thank the dev-team for their hard work!
Sometimes you just can't imagine how much time someone puts down into a hobby like this. Another team we would like to thank is the Darkest Hour team! The changes
it brought helped improve the mod! And even if we by this time next year might have moved on to Hearts of Iron 4 we will always look back to the great cooperation we had with you!
And for you fans, this is not a promise for a Hearts of Iron 4 version of Kaiserreich, just a "if".

And by the way, we have a surprise for you! Until recently there were only four avatars for Darkest Hour, but since Kaiserreich turns ten we managed to add six more, making that a total of ten Darkest Hour avatars! I won't tell you which we added, head over there and take a look! Enjoy! A special thanks to @Castellon and Paradox Interactive for helping us with the avatars! We are ever grateful!

If you feel that this version is a bit smaller in content compared to 1.6, don't worry. There are more content planned around the corner! So just stay with us!

We love you!


- The Kaiserreich Team​

The greatness of this mod cannot be stated in a greater manner than this: Never before have I played a GSG game for the plot. Thank you immensely. Now, to liberate the Mexicanos from capitalistic, imperialistic gringo oppression...

Imperial Russia isn't my favorite Russian flag (that's Wrangel's,) but this shall do.

Since Russia's domestic politics are set to be radically overhauled, (I'm not happy but it's not my decision) I hope that whoever takes Wrangel's current political position uses his flag.

Fantastic work, guys. I must say, I seem to check the forums dozens of times per day, and I didn't think once that I'd see 1.7 coming to meet me on my daily browsing at this present time. Beyond happy to download it :D Well done to everybody who contributed, not only to 1.7, but to all the versions before that, and I hope beyond 1.7. I think it's fair to say that the Mod has inspired many new developers to emerge on the forum and create their own content, Kaiserreich-influenced or not, as well as inspiring loads of people to create their own AARs which grasp the attention of hundreds daily, and more, including me ;) Point being, the content is probably a small portion of what the Mod has given to the game, and its community.

Can't wait to see what is to be developed in the future. However, I believe the first notice to address is when you workaholics take a well deserved break. :eek: It may be voluntary, but damn it must be time-intensive.

Well done again. I'll be sure to post feedback. :)

Good job everyone on the team, and thank you all for the ten years of support!
Why did we release it today, you might ask? Well, exactly ten years ago, on the 10th of September 2005, Sarmatia released the first version of his All The Russias mod. Over the next few months, ATR evolved into Kaiserreich. And it's still there - despite many changes, many concepts from ATR are still the core upon which KR was built. :)

And how little did Sarmatia know his mod would become Hearts of Iron lore.

I can only hope for KR for HOI4 some day.
