Hello,
Was going to use this post to ask some questions regarding whether or not anyone is working on events for Afghanistan, Siam/Thailand, and the British Raj. However, decided to just create some events, share them here, and see what others think about the following concept for TGC:
----------
To be more clear, have been working to create some events for Afghanistan along the following reasoning:
As one may notice by now, the above brief summary suggests that a WW1 Afghanistan event series has the potential to lead to the following:
(Of course, the major issue with these events is lack of knowledge regarding available event IDs and event flags. However, with the data shared in Conquerer1234's OneDrive link combined with the .xlsx table above, there should be enough event data to work with to create TGC events. Note the emphasis on "should"...)
Notes on the above image:
With the above mentioned about Afghanistan, similar comments can be made regarding Siam/Thailand.
Noticed that this country (Siam/Thailand) in the 1914 TGC scenario starts with multiple cores on lucrative British provinces (in terms of manpower and resources) as indicated in the image in the relevant spoiler box below.
Considering Siam/Thailand has arguably decent tech teams (some skill level 4s and 5s) there will likely be no modification here. However, one or two -- possibly three -- more tech teams will be added to Afghanistan.
Considering in the TGC files Afghanistan currently has a tech team for "Werner Otto von Hentig" who was a member of the German military mission, the events will make the "Hentig" team active by the condition if Afghanistan joins the Central Powers. Additional tech teams available via an event will include:
Moreover, additional military leaders may eventually be added. See the information from the quotation box below for the reasoning behind the additional Afghanistan leaders from the German Military Mission:

So then, here is the ahistorical event series concept in brief:
Additionally, as the events have been drafted, Afghanistan can acquire their cores without triggering Indian independence. In this case, there's more of a bargain:

The objective of these events is to offer the human two challenging minors to build with in the TGC mod. In the case of Siam/Thailand in particular, personally curious to see how one can build them to the point where they're capable of taking on China and/or Japan -- or both! Of course, such an option is plausible after Siam/Thailand acquires their cores from the WW1 scenario. So then, for those in the Darkest Hour community who are interested in minors that have the potential to build and take on larger adversaries, then surely these two event scenarios for TGC will be worthwhile!?

If others are currently working on a similar event concept, then the information here might be a benefit. Or perhaps the work in both projects can be merged? Who knows. Just thought it'd be worthwhile to share the information in this post for others to consider.

Was going to use this post to ask some questions regarding whether or not anyone is working on events for Afghanistan, Siam/Thailand, and the British Raj. However, decided to just create some events, share them here, and see what others think about the following concept for TGC:
----------
To be more clear, have been working to create some events for Afghanistan along the following reasoning:
Reference:The German Mission [to Afghanistan: 1915]
To try to persuade the Amir to abandon his “benevolent neutrality towards the British” the German government sent a diplomatic mission to Kabul in 1915.[21] It was led by a career diplomat, Werner Otto von Hentig (1886-1984) and an army officer, First Lieutenant Oskar von Niedermayer (1885-1948). Among its members were some men from India and the North-West Frontier. Before the war the German government had tried to attract pan-Islamic support, as well as establishing links with Indian nationalists. Among the latter was Lala Har Dayal (1884-1939), an ascetic intellectual who had helped to establish a revolutionary organization named Ghadr (meaning revolt or mutiny), dedicated to overthrowing British rule in India. The Ghadr network spread from California to Kabul, the Punjab, Rangoon and Singapore, while in Germany officials encouraged nationalist Indian students to establish the Berlin Committee, dedicated to the cause of Indian independence. Two leading nationalists who had links with both Ghadr and the Berlin Committee were invited to join Hentig and Niedermayer. They were Muhammad Barakatullah (1854-1927), and Rajah Mahendra Pratap (1886-1979). A Turkish officer, Kazim Bey, also joined the mission, as did eight Pashtuns belonging to the Afridi tribe from the North-West Frontier.[22] Two of them had been living in the USA. The others were volunteers from a group of Afridis, who, unhappy about fighting in a British Indian Army regiment against the caliph’s ally, had crossed over to the German lines in the Ypres sector in March 1915. They included Mir Mast Kambar Khel Afridi who had been awarded the Iron Cross by Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941).[23]

As one may notice by now, the above brief summary suggests that a WW1 Afghanistan event series has the potential to lead to the following:
- Afghanistan acquiring cores from British Raj (see the relevant image in the spoiler box below);
- The cores, interestingly, appear to be modern Pakistan;
- British Raj potentially experiencing an early independence chain of events;
- An early India independence event will require Siam/Thailand to join the war, too. And,
- Afghanistan benefiting from an Alliance with the Central Powers;
- Such as added tech teams;
- Foreign investment;
- etc.
(Of course, the major issue with these events is lack of knowledge regarding available event IDs and event flags. However, with the data shared in Conquerer1234's OneDrive link combined with the .xlsx table above, there should be enough event data to work with to create TGC events. Note the emphasis on "should"...)
Notes on the above image:
- Light green = Afghanistan's owned core provinces; dark green = core provinces claimed by Afghanistan;
- Interestingly, Afghanistan's cores appear to be where modern Pakistan is located;
- The events in the log are from a personal flavour mod and notTGC related;
- See the thread "strategic regions flavour events" for the relevant thread;
- Two provinces in particular can offer Afghanistan a significant boost building in later years:
- Quetta starts with 20 energy;
- Peshawar has 4 manpower;
- Taken together, Afghanistan's cores in British Raj (Pakistan) offer 6 additional manpower, nearly doubling the current manpower of 7 for Afghanistan.
With the above mentioned about Afghanistan, similar comments can be made regarding Siam/Thailand.
Reference:The Phase of Neutrality, 1914-1917 [for Siam/Thailand]
[...]
Among the elite in Siam, attitudes were certainly mixed: some, like King Vajiravudh and his foreign minister, Prince Devawongse Varopakarn (1858-1923), while not concealing their sympathies for Britain, preferred maintaining neutrality. Some favoured siding with the Allies; the highest military officer in the country and key military adviser to the king, Prince Chakrabongse Bhuvanadh (1883-1920), and Siam’s minister in Paris and key foreign affairs adviser to the king, Prince Charoonsakdi Kritakara (1875-1928) both favoured joining the Allies. Yet other policymakers and influential princes had studied in Germany and developed strong personal links and therefore held pronounced pro-German sentiments. These included Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandh (1881-1944), Prince Mahidol Adulyadej (1892-1929) and Prince Rangsit Prayurasakdi (1885-1951).
During the first months of 1917 the pro-British advocates of entering into the war started to gain the upper hand over those favouring neutrality and those with pro-German leanings. After three years of neutrality, Siam fundamentally altered its policy in mid-1917 and entered the world war on the side of the Allied powers. King Vajiravudh was the main agent of this decision. He decided to follow the “young Siamese”, as he called them, choosing a more assertive policy rather than following the old guard.
Siam | International Encyclopedia of the First World War (WW1)
Siam (Thailand) declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary in mid-1917. In 1918 it sent a small expeditionary force to France, the only troops of an independent Southeast Asian country to participate in the war in Europe and the occupation of Germany. While militarily insignificant, Siam’s...

- Notes for the image
- Light green = Siam's owned core provinces; dark green = core provinces claimed by Siam.
- The events displayed in the log are from the "strategic resources" flavour events which were personally created;
- See the "strategic resources flavour events" thread in this forum;
- Siam/Thailand has cores in Malaysia, British Raj, and French Indochina;
- The majority of Siam/Thailand's cores are rich in metal and rares which -- if acquired -- will give Siam/Thailand a significant opportunity to build during the later years;
- For instance: over 20 rares from the two cores in British Malaysia, and 43 rares from the provinces in British Raj.
- The cores in French Indochina offer Siam/Thailand an even greater source of manpower;
- Siam/Thailand has the opportunity to acquire an additional 8 manpower from all of their cores;
- If all cores are acquired, the human controller of Siam/Thailand has the opportunity to create a powerful country potentially capable of taking on China or Japan in later decade/s.
Considering in the TGC files Afghanistan currently has a tech team for "Werner Otto von Hentig" who was a member of the German military mission, the events will make the "Hentig" team active by the condition if Afghanistan joins the Central Powers. Additional tech teams available via an event will include:
- A general German industry advisory tech team (to represent the broadness of the diplomatic mission); and,
- Oskar Niedermayer;
- Oskar will be similar to Hentig and function as a type of military advisor;
- See below on the reason for including Oskar Niedermayer as a tech team for Afghanistan...
Reference:German Intrigues in Persia: The Diary of a German Agent
In November 1914, after the Ottoman Empire entered World War I on the side of Germany and the Central Powers, Sultan-Caliph Mehmed V issued a call for a worldwide jihad against Britain and France. The Germans and their Turkish allies hoped to stir up Muslims against British rule in India and to draw Persia and Afghanistan, both of which had declared their neutrality, into the war on the side of the Central Powers. In furtherance of these objectives, Germany, with the active support of the Turks, sent a mission led by Captain Oskar von Niedermayer and diplomat Werner-Otto von Hentig from Berlin to Afghanistan (via Constantinople, Baghdad, and Isfahan) with the aim of convincing its ruler, Amir Habibullah Khan, to join the war on the German-Turkish side and to attack the British in India.

Moreover, additional military leaders may eventually be added. See the information from the quotation box below for the reasoning behind the additional Afghanistan leaders from the German Military Mission:

Biographies of Members of the Afghan Mission
German Leadership
Oskar Niedermayer (1885-1948) joined the 10th Bavarian Artillery Regiment in 1905. After his initial military service, he travelled India and Persia where he immersed himself in studying the languages, geography and natural history of the regions. He returned to Germany shortly before the outbreak of the First World War and served in his original regiment on the Western Front. While their he applied for an overseas mission. With his experience of Asian culture he was deemed the ideal candidate to lead the military aspect of the Afghan Mission of 1915-16. During the expedition he clashed with the diplomatic leader von Hentig over policy issues. However Niedermayer's determination and caution got them to Kabul through the hazardous journey. After the failure of the mission to entice the Emir of Afghanistan to wage war on British India Niedermayer and Hentig made their separate ways back home. Niedermayer took the route back through Persia and the Ottoman Empire. Upon his return to Germany in 1918 he awarded the highest Bavarian military award, the Military Order of Max Joseph along with the title Ritter von Niedermayer for his efforts and went back to the Western Front as an Artillery officer (now promoted to Hauptmann). After the war he served in the Freikorps Epp against communists in Munich. In the 1930s he served as a military attaché to the Soviet Union. During the Second World War he commanded a Division of the "Ost-Legion" made up of Russian Asians but was arrested for defeatism in 1944 after making pessimistic comments about the War. Heinrich Himmler personally wrote in his support at his trial. After the war he was arrested by the Soviets and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment. He died of tuberculosis in a Russian prison in 1948.
Werner Otto von Hentig, German Diplomatic Leader of the Expedition (1886-1984) was a Leutnant in the 3rd East Prussian Cuirassiers ("Kürassier-Regiment 'Graf Wrangel' (Ostpreußisches) Nr.3")who had also studied law in Germany and France and qualified a degree in international law from Bonn University. He then served in the diplomatic corps in as a military attaché in Peking and Constantinople and then as legation secretary in Tehran, where he learned Persian. When the First World War broke out he served with his regiment on the Eastern Front where he was wounded in the First Battle of the Mausurian Lakes. In March 1915 he was recalled to Berlin to head the diplomatic side of the Afghan Mission. He presented the Kaiser's letter to the Emir personally but to no avail. After the failure of the mission he travelled across the Pamir Mountains with a small group (including his Pathan cook Seyed Achmed, Walther Röhr, the Hungarian/Rumanian Jossip Janosch, and a Persian Mule attendant Afgher) to China. From there he boarded a ship to Hawaii where he gave himself up to the as yet neutral American authorities. They repatriated him to Germany where he was awarded the House Order of Hohenzollern by Kaiser Wilhelm II in person. He was considered for the Pour-le-Mérite but it was not eventually awarded. He remained in the diplomatic corps for the rest of his career serving in Turkey, Poland, Bulgaria, Columbia and the United States of America. In the 1950s he was West German Ambassador to Indonesia.
Indian Nationalist Leaders
Raja (Kumar) Mahendra Pratap, Leader of the Indian Nationalists (1886-1979) was born into an Indian Princely family in Uttar Pradesh in Northern India. He was the visionary founder of his own religion, the Society of the Servants of the Powerless and their Great School of Love to which he donated his palace and half his fortune. He believed strongly in Indian Independence and the rights of the common man. In 1907 he travelled the world visiting London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and the United States of America. When the First World War broke out he travelled to Berlin via Switzerland for an audience with Kaiser Wilhelm II, who awarded him the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle, second class and pledged support for Pratap's Mission to Afghanistan. On the way to Kabul, he had meetings with the exiled Khedive of Egypt in Vienna and Enver Pascha, the Ottoman Defence Minister who both also gave their support to Pratap. In Kabul he met with the Emir who for unexplained reasons did not like him. Nevertheless, with the Emir's support Pratap set up the Indian Provisional Government in Kabul with himself as President. Eventually the British put pressure on the Emir of Afghanistan to disband the provisional government which he did. Pratap then went to Russia, where he met with Lenin and later Tokyo where he spent the Second World War supporting the cause of Indian Independence. He finally returned to India in 1946 and later was elected to the Indian Parliament as an independent candidate.
Abdul Hafiz Mohamed Barakatullah (1854-1927) also known as Maulavi or Maulana Barkatullah was the second highest ranking Indian on the Afghan Mission and the senior Muslim leader in the group. He was educated in Bhopal, Bombay and London where he also taught Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. While teaching in Liverpool he became friends with Sirdar Nasrullah Khan, brother of the Emir of Afghanistan. He later taught in the United States, became a Professor of Tokyo University and travelled to Russia, Turkey and Egypt. He used his travels to promote the cause of Indian Independence. When the First World War broke out he was in America and soon travelled to Germany to become one of the leaders of the Indian Committee in Berlin. He served on the Afghan Mission and was appointed Prime Minister of the Provisional Indian Government in Kabul. After three years he returned to Germany where he published the revolutionary magazine, Naya Islam. In 1921, along with other Indian Nationalists he travelled to Moscow and after his return in Germany remained in close contact with the Soviet Government. In 1926 along with Pratap he travelled to the United States of America again to promote Indian nationalism. It was in San Francisco the following year when he died. Although he wished to be reburied in India after Independence his remains are still in Sacramento City Cemetery, California. In 1988 Bhopal University was renamed Barakatullah University in his honour.
Chempakaraman Pillai (1891–1934) was a Tamil from Southern India who had been partially educated in Austria. On the Outbreak of the First World War he formed the Pro-India Committee in Switzerland, but later merged with other Indian nationalists in Germany into the Indian Independence Committee. He took part in the Afghan Mission and the set up of the Provisional Indian Government in exile. Himself taking the role of Foreign Minister. After the war he remained in Germany to further the cause of Indian Nationalism. After falling foul of the Nazi regime Pillai died in 1934, with some suspecting food poisoning on Hitler's orders. His widow finally managed to get his ashes back in a free India in 1966.
Ubaidullah Sindhi (1872-1944) was a Sikh but converted to Islam. He was a noted nationalist leader involved in the Pan-Islamic movement and the Deobandi Islamic School. When the First World War broke out he was involved in the Silk Letter Conspiracy to encourage foreign support for an Indian Rebellion while Britain was busy fighting a war on the Western Front. Sindhi's role in this was to travel from India to Kabul to enlist the support of the Afghan Emir. He was already in Kabul when the Niedermayer-Hentig Mission arrived. Along with the other Indian nationalists he formed the Provisional Indian Government in exile, in which he was the Home Minister. Another Deobandi leader, Maulavi Bashir was the Minister for War. After the war Sindhi travelled through Russia and Turkey before settling to spend fourteen years studying Islam in Saudi Arabia.
Representative of the Ottoman Sultan
Kâzım Orbay (1887-1964) graduated from the Ottoman Imperial School of Military Engineering and joined the Ottoman army in 1904 as an artillery lieutenant. In 1908 he trained in Germany before seeing action in the Balkan Wars. As one of Enver Pascha's favourite officers he served as chief adjutant to the Ministry of War before being selected to represent the Ottoman Empire on the Afghan Mission. In Kabul he presented the Emir with a letter confirming the support of the Ottoman Sultan if Afghanistan sided with the Central Powers. After the First World War, Orbay served in the War of Turkish Independence in the Caucasus and at the Battle of Dumlupinar. In peacetime he married Enver Pascha's sister and continued in Turkish military service, briefly returning to Afghanistan as Chief of General Staff in 1928. Back in Turkey he was further promoted until his retirement in 1946 by which time he was a four star general and Chief of General Staff of the Turkish Army. In 1961 he was elected a Senator and served as a President of the Turkish Parliament.
Other German Personnel on the Mission
Walter Röhr (1892-1927) was von Hentig's personal companion and the negotiator and language expert of the mission. Like many of the Germans in the expedition, Röhr had previous experience of the Orient, in Röhr's case as a merchant in Persia. Originally from Magdeburg, he had lived in Persia since he was seventeen and spoke fluent Turkish and Persian. When war broke out in 1914 he made his way back to Germany on a small boot through the Persian Gulf to Ottoman Turkey and from there home. Along with the expedition's doctor, Dr Becker, Röhr accompanied von Hentig from Germany to Istanbul. After Niedermayer and Hentig went their separate ways from Kabul, Röhr again accompanied von Hentig to China. He later married von Hentig's sister.
Dr. Karl Becker (___-1945) of the Prussian Guards Jäger Battalion ("Garde-Jäger-Bataillon") was the mission's doctor. He had already served two years in Persia dealing with malaria and other tropical diseases and spoke good Persian. On the way through Persia with the Afghan Mission he split into a separate group with some of the sick and the camel section. His group was spotted and surrounded by a Russian patrol. He fought them off for several days until running out of ammunition. He then buried the valuable equipment and gold that the camel section had carried and made a break along with some of the sick Afridi volunteers through Russian lines. All were shot down or captured but Becker managed to escape with a lung wound. He was kindly trended back to health under his own instruction by the locals that came across him. Within two weeks he felt well enough to go back to look for the equipment and gold that he had buried. It was then that he was captured and sent to the Russian Nargin Island prisoner of war camp, where served as a doctor. After the First World War he continued in civilian private practice settling in Berlin where he was killed during the Russian Siege of the city in 1945.
Kapitänleutnant d.R Kurt Albert Wagner was formerly a ships' officer of the Hamburg-America Shipping Line ("Hamburg Amerikanische Paketfahrt Actien-Gesellschaft" or HAPAG) operating in the Persian Gulf. He served on the Afghan Mission to Kabul.
Leutnant Günther Voigt of the 4th Prussian Guards Field Artillery ("4. Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment") was Niedermayer's adjutant on the mission. He was one of the few on the Afghan Mission who had no previous experience of overseas service.
Hans Jakob of the Bavarian Light Horse was Niedermayer's Orderly and was one of the men Oskar Niedermayer initially requested for the mission. He accompanied Niedermayer throughout the voyage to Afghanistan but died of fever just outside Kabul and was buried there with full honours.
Fritz Niedermayer was Oskar's brother and a doctor. He too was one of the men Oskar Niedermayer initially requested for the mission.
Leutnant Walter Griesinger was an artillery officer on the Afghan Mission who did not make it to Afghanistan but remained in Southern Persia inciting their nationalists to rise up against the British.
Professor Erich Zugmeyer was one of the men Niedermayer initially requested for the mission. He was a Bavarian zooologist who had recently travelled Baluchistan. He did not make it to Afghanistan but remained with Griesinger in Southern Persia inciting rebellion against the British.
Fritz Seiler was another member of the mission who did not make it to Afghanistan but remained in Southern Persia with Griesinger and Zugmeyer inciting rebellion against the British. An Eduard Seiler (a German Dragoman) on the Afghan Mission is referred to in "The Berlin-Bagdad Express" it is not sure if this is the same person.
Hermann Consten, the Mongolian Explorer was also recruited for Niedermayer's staff on the Afghan Mission. He spoke several languages including Russian, French, English, Swahili and Mongolian.
Wilhelm Paschen from German South West Africa was a soldier on the expedition. A Peter Paschen is referred to as being on the Afghan Mission in "The Berlin-Bagdad Express" it is not sure if this is the same person.
Feldwebel Beierl was awarded the Prussian Red Eagle Medal by von Hentig for his service on the Afghan Mission.
Pathan Volunteers
Of the eight Pathan volunteers, six are known to have been Feldwebel Mirmast, Itbargul, Mohabad Khan, the cook Seyed Achmed and the two volunteers that had arrived from America, Abdur Rahman Khan and Abdul Subhan Khan. Little is known about their lives, although von Hentig gives us a glimpse into Seyed Achmed in his memoirs-
Seyed Achmed was the last of the six Afridi Pathans to be recruited from the Halmondlager POW camp for the Afghan Mission. He served as cook and servant to von Hentig. He and von Hentig struck up a friendship on the expedition and afterwards when they both travelled to China through the Pamir Mountains. Von Hentig mentions in his memoirs that this man was the only Afridi on the mission that had not deserted the British army but had been legitimately captured. Von Hentig clearly respected him for that. Whereas the other Pathans were happy to be released from German service with their freedom in Kabul, Seyed wanted to return to his home in the Buner Valley within British territory. Through Swedish and English Missionaries, von Hentig successfully negotiated for the safe conduct of his cook and companion with the British envoy to China Sir John Jordan
Feldwebel Jemadar Mirmast of the Pathan volunteers was awarded the Prussian Crown Medal by von Hentig during the mission.
Austro-Hungarian former Prisoners of War
Of the Austro-Hungarian former Prisoners of War only two have so far been identified by name.
Josef Janosch was a Rumanian national of the Hungarian Honved accompanied von Hentig out of Afghanistan across the Pamir Mountains into China.
Emil Rybitschka was an Austrian Border-Gendarmerie Officer who wrote his memoirs as "Im gottgegebenen Afghanistan als Gäste des Emirs" (Leipzig, Brockhaus 1927).
So then, here is the ahistorical event series concept in brief:
- Afghanistan receives some events that will give them an option to join the war on the side of the Central Powers;
- Tech teams will give Afghanistan a boost;
- Afghanistan will be rewarded their cores in a peace deal once certain war conditions are met, thereby triggering peace event;
- Similar to Afghanistan, Siam/Thailand will be given some events to join the war on either side:
- Historical: Entente;
- Ahisotircal: Central Powers
- Considering Afghanistan (in this scenario) will be attacking British Raj from the west, and Siam/Thailand from the east...
- ... An early "India Independence" event can occur.
- Is anyone -- or has anyone -- worked on, or created, an event-chain similar to the one here for TGC?
- Is anyone interested in an event chain as mentioned here for TGC?
Additionally, as the events have been drafted, Afghanistan can acquire their cores without triggering Indian independence. In this case, there's more of a bargain:
- If certain conditions are met, the British offer Afghanistan a compromise:
- The cores from British Raj in exchange for leaving the alliance with the Central Powers.
- In this ahistorical compromise option, the Entente can win the war and Afghanistan can acquire their cores without greatly upsetting the region in the pre-WW2 period;
- Afghanistan acquiring their cores can create the potential for a "super Afghanistan" since they'll have a major source of energy and almost double the manpower;
- Surely, a human controller of a "super Afghanistan" will have the opportunity for an intriguing challenge in their relative part of the map?
- ... perhaps going for the oil provinces west of them?
- Or interfering in the Russian Civil War?
- Similarly, a human controller of a "super Siam/Thailand" will have an interesting strategic opportunity since after building for a decade or two, they might be able to take on Japan or/and China directly!
-----
The objective of these events is to offer the human two challenging minors to build with in the TGC mod. In the case of Siam/Thailand in particular, personally curious to see how one can build them to the point where they're capable of taking on China and/or Japan -- or both! Of course, such an option is plausible after Siam/Thailand acquires their cores from the WW1 scenario. So then, for those in the Darkest Hour community who are interested in minors that have the potential to build and take on larger adversaries, then surely these two event scenarios for TGC will be worthwhile!?

If others are currently working on a similar event concept, then the information here might be a benefit. Or perhaps the work in both projects can be merged? Who knows. Just thought it'd be worthwhile to share the information in this post for others to consider.
