So a Syndicalist state west of the rockies or in northern Italy is less plausible than a hodge podge "CSA" syndicalist uprising all over the eastern USA. Not to mention the Mongol empire chain of events. Funny how every counter argument shifts to semantics and speculative interpretations of history. My original point was that if the Syndicalist powers of Mexico and Western USA made their attack after North USA/Canada and South USA had weakened one another than that regional war would be much more interesting. Every time I've played outside of North America the CSA won after a ludicrous series of battles that displayed just how bad of an idea it is to deploy an AI without a consolidated regional frontline. In the same vein of argument a Syndie north Italy would assist France against it's swift destruction every game.
You're again straying into universalizing your own experience. It's not even clear whether you're talking HoI4KR, or DHKR. One can speak for the latter here. In that, your "muh balance" in the civil war argument has literally been a thing since I first played KR many years ago. And everyone has complained about the balance of the ACW or the France-German war, one way or another. At least in what I've seen over the years, who wins often has more to do with your personal ideology, as the game files are
very transparent. I rarely saw the CSA winning the ACW myself, and with the current build, it's usually the federalists who win. But some versions, I had AUS out on top nearly everytime. And often CSA lost for that reason of a frontline - they usually for some reason let someone drive a wedge to Chicago/Michigan, and with the fall of that, their IC plummets and it's hard to get the momentum back.
Also, again, you don't seem to have played this game at all -
why would the Syndicalists be in the West? Again, just because they voted Progressive and then Democrat that one time in that time period does
not mean they were suddenly all proto-communists. Like seriously, ffs, you DO KNOW the West was one of the bastions of Republican power for literally decades, right!? No, of course not. And no shit the CSA would be based in the industrial heartlands -
where else would they be?! Midwest and some of the East Coast - this was where a lot of industrial might was. So of course unions, along with the CSA's other core power bases, would be at home here. The Midwest was the home of industrial concern politics for a very long time even in OTL. Wisconsin, for example, was home base of the LaFollette's, and even had outright Socialist mayors (of Milwaukee). You're basically construing the politics of back then into a timeframe for today and trying to make it all fit into the mold of "now". Because of that, it won't make sense to you that Wisconsin had Socialist mayors
and at the same time had sent up McCarthy as a Senator, and still had the LaFollette's around. Likewise, even if, for argument's sake, the CSA was taken out of the Midwest - they would still not want to work with Canada.
The North, especially the Midwest, did not like the British Empire, and were often the most eager recruits when issues would flare up with Britain. So having a royalist Canada aid the North would just be fucking stupid no matter how one construes this.
You don't seem to understand again why the civil war is even happening - and you're also forgetting that while each of these parties has a home base of where they are strong electorally, the Syndicalist Party of the United States and the America First Party are
national parties that are capable
of winning nationally - their concerns aren't just regionally based. The 2nd ACW actually
is a civil war, as each of the factions is fighting for the entire US. If you're going to comment on story and other matters while having only "playtested" it, while understanding literally nothing of the underlying story, go ahead, but you're going to sound foolish. A lot of objections have been thought up of already in some form for the better part of what, a decade now? This mod has been around a very, very long time. KR is
not constructed just with "muh gameplay" in mind. There is a fundamental rhyme and reason that underpins the thing, which is why it's still going strong after all these years. So please, for whoever you hold important's sake, please learn what you're talking about.
