Not sure if this has been mentioned but the T.E. Lawrence dictatorship event is bugged. When choosing to stay with the dictatorship instead of allowing a congress, it adjusts the slider to the right and that puts Nye Bevan in the HoS position. I tested it out and if you manually adjust the slider it does put Bevan in. Probably need to add a HOS command to that decision to keep Lawrence in.

Its one bug. I played National France and joined to Mediterrean Bloc with Carlist Spain and Italian Federation (later, after Spanish Inquisition event, joined Portugal). We have beaten Commune of France, western provinces was gained by Carlist Spain (with Bordeaux) and eastern by Italy. After annexation CoF by Germany - fired event about... Italo-French war and Germany decided about invitation Italy to the Mitteleuropa. They accepted and annex my provinces from continental France. It was all history of "France liberation" :/

Great Mod! i like it!
An true Suggestion would be to add some better interractions between Soviet Russia and the other internationale, Russia is the only country that doesn't have many events than joining the international itself. Perhaps an Soviet-Internationale Split, i could see the Bolsheviks having such a different idealogy that war could even be possible, end game when germany is dead that is.

Great Mod! i like it! i do wish one of the old bolsheviks could become a leader of the Soviet Union/Soviet Republic/ Soviet Russia.

If I recall correctly Bukharin is a possible leader. He was a Bolshevik, wasn't he?

Yes, I'm afraid Persia doesn't get a flag change when it's "liberated" as a syndie nation.

Syndicalism, not Marxist Communism.

By the way, what are the KR Syndies views on Marx and the failed Russian Revolution?

I think the Syndies view Marx in mostly the same way as Communists of OTL do, that is to say in a variety of ways, most bordering on respect and in some ways belief. Most Syndies have a romanticized view of the Revolution, but criticize the use of a Vanguard as the ultimate failure as the revolution.

Anyways, how about adding the flower of the Tudeh party of Iran to the flag?

Syndies are pretty much re-branded Trotskyites . Safe to say, they aren't too great, IMHO (and vice-versa, which I think is why there should be a Syndie-Totalist split after the 2WK)

Bukharin is not just a possible leader, he's a constant throughout all the choices to my knowledge.

Throughout most of the game "syndicalist" essentially becomes an overarching title for the whole spectrum from Rockerist Anarcho-Syndicalism, to council communism, to Stalinism (in the form of Totalism. Also most of the eastern Internaitonal released states do use the Bolshevik flags.

For the persian flag I think something adapting the red rose symbol of Tudeh might be an interesting flag

Syndicalism differs greatly from Communist theory on several core issues such as workers' management, the role of the state, personal liberties.

Also, the Tudeh rose:

Yes, that is true. However, the two have more in common and are both far less extreme then Bolshevism in (as you said) the involvement of the state, vanguardism, personal liberties etc etc, which is why I said 're-branded' - not that they are actually one and the same.

Not making that clear enough was an error on my part.

I think in general you're really overestimating the separation between Bolshevism and Trotskyism, when really the separation is essentially non-existent. Trotsky himself would have declared himself an orthodox leninist, and most Trotskyists to this day assert very strongly that they're arguing for the ideas of Lenin which were subsequently bastardized by Stalin and Mao. It's easy to forget after decades of the sanitized peaceful vision of Trotsky put forward by both reformist (to put it into Stalinist terms revisionist) Trotskyists and anti-trotskyists, that Trotsky was the architect of the Red Terror, and the man who wrote half of the required reading for the first Commintern (the half primarily focused on the evils of reformism and opportunism). The only point where Trotsky departs from this tradition is after the revolution is complete, which is when Trotsky begins to argue for his more famous proposals (elimination of the power of bureaucracy, democratization of the Soviets, reorganization of the armed forces along Socialist lines now that the civil war no longer makes things desperate, end the ban on factions within the communist party, permanent revolution, etc). Which basically means that beyond the claim that they support "genuine" democratic centralism, any pre-revolutionary Trotskyists who haven't totally embraced the reformist current, are basically indistinguishable from other Leninists.

Anarcho-Syndicalism and Communist really aren't that different. The Syndicalist Union is remarkably similar to the Vanguard Party in what they are supposed to do and the function they are meant to achieve. Communists do not for the most part dispute the value of workers management (they simply believe in a different definition of what that entails), and personal liberties are a liberal idea which can't really be translated into the language of either movement. Both Anarchists and Communists would say firmly that the state is by its nature a form of dictatorship, that freedom under capitalism is illusory, and that the only truly free society is a stateless society. Where the dispute emerges is that Communists believe that a state with all the dictatorial power inherent to those ideas is needed to overthrow capitalism, and the Anarchists would say that the state itself must be abolished alongside capitalism. In actual fact most of the hatred shared by anarchists and communists toward each other is bad blood before it's really actually significant difference. Leninists and anarchists don't get along in large part because Trotsky and Emma Goldman despised each other on that side of the split, and the rest hate each other in large part because they both blame the other for why the Republicans lost the Civil War in Spain. There's also more modern hatred rooted in stupider pettier shit too, but I don't even really care about that.

No offense to the developers (who no doubt work their tails off in the attempt to satisfy insignificant whiners like me) but I personally think Kaiserreich still needs more events for the post-war era, depending on the outcome.

Possible ideas for a post-"Second Weltkrieg" world (so far):
German-Entente Victory:

De Gaulle and the RPF-AF Alliance: In the aftermath of the Second Weltkrieg, war hero de Gaulle creates his own political party championing the restoration of pre-1871 French borders as well as avenging French defeat in the First Weltkrieg (1914-1919). Aligns itself with the aging Marras's own Action Francaise in an attempt to oppose further efforts by the French government to "appease" the victorious Germans in the North.
The Nuremberg Tribunal: Basically Germany attempting to try Syndicalist leaders for "crimes against God, honor, and human civilization." The German player can decide to try incarcerated Syndicalists unilaterally (thus pissing off France/UK) or ask for the Entente's participation.
The Toulouse Trials: UK/French version of the Nuremberg Tribunal if the Entente declines the German invite or is straight up ignored.
A German in Paris: Decision in the puppet "Kingdom of France" to permit democratic elections or to rule according to German whims.
Parliamentary elections in the Kingdom of France:
Popular Christian Movement vs. the "Legitimist" Bloc (a coalition of various Northern French political parties advocating annexation by the South) vs the "Neutralist" Bloc (political parties wanting Northern France to be a non-aligned, sovereign country in its own right)
The Hull Speech: Famed orator and politician Winston Churchill gives a speech in Hull, England, on the North Sea warning of German belligerence in the near future. The government of the restored UK can condone, support, or ignore Churchill's statements.
Operation Valmy: Attempt by pro-"National French" terrorists to assassinate the German-born monarch of Northern France as well as members of the collaborationist government. If the attempt succeeds, could possibly reignite a war on the Continent.
Operation Brunswick: If nationalistic forces in Northern France prevail, Germany could authorize a full-fledged invasion of its puppet state (thus greatly enhancing possibilities of a Entente-Mitteleuropa clash) or allow it to fall.
Constitution of the Kingdom of France: Highly controversial for its inclusion of Article 5, which essentially makes Northern France dependent almost entirely on Germany.
The Blucher Incident: The Royal Navy clashes with the SMS Blucher in the North Sea (possible casus belli for war).
The Kiel Conference: Negotiations between UK and Germany over colonial territories seized by Germany in wake of the 1925 British Revolution.
The Londonderry Riots: UK can request Ireland to hold a plebiscite in Ulster on the grounds of preserving Ulster's "self-determination."
Proclamation of the Irish Free State: If British/Entente troops manage to overrun and ultimately annex Ireland, they can re-designate Ireland as a dominion of the British Empire.

The Londonderry Riots: UK can request Ireland to hold a plebiscite in Ulster on the grounds of preserving Ulster's "self-determination."
Proclamation of the Irish Free State: If British/Entente troops manage to overrun and ultimately annex Ireland, they can re-designate Ireland as a dominion of the British Empire.

'Londonderry' doesn't exist in KR.
The Irish government (except for the National Centre Party and even then it would be extremely unpopular) would most likely refuse the plebiscite.
There are already events for Canada/UK annexing Ireland in 'Canada Foreign Policy' and 'Liberation of the UK - The Irish Question'
