Playing from Exile after capitulation?

[Kubusta]

I think this haven´t been discussed much here, or at least I haven´t found it.
My question is as the name of threat says.
If I play lets say Czechoslovaks and I get annexed, or as Poland I get conquered in few months, am I doomed as in Eu IV (when after being conquered the game ends for you) or can I play from exile somehow? And if yes, what are the options to do there?
And if no, are devs planning to add this feature one day to the game, perhaps? @DDRJake , @podcat ?
Thanks

There was an "Observe" Option in the exit stats that I saw; so, IIRC, unless you're part of a faction, you're just done for but can watch the war progress?

There was a post somewhere by a Dev I believe that states you either need to be in a faction or have overseas territory, so playing as either of those states and losing without having said options you can watch the AI or other players watch if that's what the button @Wraith11B mentions. So if your France and plan to fight on or create a union better start getting some troops out of the country and your fleet to a friendly harbor otherwise they will get swallowed?

When surrendering, you loose all of your home territory and all units stationed there (at least mostly, in todays WWW a few of communist Chinas troops stayed after they surrendered, not sure if that has to do with this territory also being claimed by their ally nationalist China).

If you are not part of a faction and don't have overseas territory, its game over.

If you have overseas territory, you keep it and all units there.

If you are part of a faction without overseas territory, you can continue as well, although its not clear how it works as you may have no units and no provinces left (e.g. Poland).

So yes, for example, the smartest thing do as France if you see you fail to defend is getting all troops, planes and ships to England or North Africa, otherwise you loose it all.

However, you have no industry to support that many troops with not much more than African desert anyway so you rely heavily on allied help one way or the other.

the game will end for you if you are completly annexed. Czechoslovakia and Poland for example will be fully annexed if they arent guaranteed by the allies or allied to them. Only if you have oversea territory, you will be able to keep playing. Like Italy for example will be pushed out to Lybia if they are forced to capitulate. France will also be still present in africa.

Somewhat related: if a country is in a faction and gets defeated, can the leading country get some divisions from them, like the Polish Armed Forces in the West?

Capitulation = Total defeat. You are defeated and there is nothing you can do.

However in the Allies war: France is an ally and the Allies are not defeated(As UK is the leader). France then fights until UK capitulates.

Good points there, glad to know how it works now.
But it would be still amazing if you had an opportunity one day to install your exile government somewhere at your neighbours territories and let´s say increased nacionalism in your occupied-home country and if your allies started to liberate your provinces again, you would jump into the game once again.

Oh this is cool. Be nice whlist playing as say Italy and getting beaten by the allies, to watch the last 1 or 2 years of war at x5 speed. Though I guess otherwise you could always switch to Honduras, disable FOW and its the same thing.

Generally, though, disabling FOW means that it is disabled for the AI as well; better to observe and not let the AI cheat

It would be cool if after being forced to observer mode a player could go back for the game.

FOr instance, as Czecs, if you are annexed and germany releases Slovakia, u could get a chance to play as Slovakia (and change sides)

Or if you are poland, ure anneexed, go observer, and later receives a mensagem to install a governament in exide in london with some troops supllied by the allies

You can just use the tag command in the console probably from observer mode to be whoever you want
