Welcome to News from Mitteleuropa!
Recently I was reading my morning paper and thought that it would be fun to create a somewhat different AAR. Then I picked up DH during a Steam sale and (re)discovered Kaiserreich and the rest is history as they say...
The details:
I am using Kaiserreich 1.7.1. No full IC or tech team take-over. No cheats though I reserve the right to fix border gore (mostly) caused by peace annex/release events.
Contrary to the initial impression you might have, the German Reich is not the player nation. Since it is the global hegemon however I thought it gives the best viewpoint to portray events all over the world. The newspaper setting also lets me play with expectations as events that in-game aren't important at all (e.g. picking the bride of the Austrian Emperor) would in reality be a very big deal. At the same time events that will shape the destiny of a game would fly under the radar of even a well-informed citizen (or be picked up with much delay).
I decided to stick with quite a few German terms and conventions. Everything should be self-explanatory but I am happy to clarify things if there is any confusion. After winning the Weltkrieg it just makes sense to me that a victorious Reich would start to display a certain amount of cultural arrogance (for lack of a better word).
So, without further ado here is the first frontpage of the Mitteleuropäische Nachrichten:
