Helo Everyone! I am pleased to anounce my new project for the forums, an after action report (AAR) of the epic Hearts of Iron II Mod KAISERREICH! This mod is a what if scenario, what if Germany was victorious during the first world war. This is going to be like a lets play, but in text format. And therefore it will be a lot more interactive. Once I reach a crossroads, I shall consult you wonderfull people whom im going to refer to as my cabinate during my epic struggle against the Reactionaries, Soscialists, Imperialists, Democrats, National Populous forces, Royalists, Communists or whomever I am going to do battle with! Now, here is a picture (all immages I stole from the forum page to get your attention) of Europa in 1936. Now some key points in this timeline. -Germany was victorious during WWI, the United States did not enter the war -France fell to Germany, but there was a massive Syndicalist (Soscialist in this universe) revolution that overthrew the new government (The Germans were too exausted to deal with it) -Britain never fell to the Germans and a Peace With Honour was singed between Germany and the remaining Entente powers which Britain was to recognise Germanies gains in central Europe while the previous territory of the Entente powers was to be recognised. However, in 1925, a small strike lead to a massive revolution of the workers... -As a result, Germany and other powers occupy Britains colonial posetions, and the Royal Family allong with much of the Navy, Air Force, and the some loyal army officials allong with a million British refugees cross the atlantic to Canada, the new capital of the British empire. -The Russian Revolution failed as a result of German intervention, (The French also rebelled shortly after and the Germans chose to deal with the Russians) I hope this is helpfull but there is a LOT more to this story. You can see the entire history here...http://editthis.info/kaiserreich/Main_Page And download this mod here...http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/sho ... d-for-HOI2 (Anything look familiar anyone? :mrgreen: ) Now, the big important question, what nation shall I play as, here are some interesting choices (please keep it a great power or something on the list.) Germany - For the glory of the Kaisar Commune of France - To defeat the evil of imperialism and capitalism once and for all! Russia - An interesting choice, soo many options here, re-build the Tsarist empire, or choose a diffrient path? Empire of Japan - Also many paths to choose from... Qing Empire (China) - Reduced in size significantly, but a skilled leader can reclaim the empire... Canada - MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE, lead the remanence of the Entente to reclaim the home islands! But is this too great a task for a nation of just 12 million? The United States of America - Political instabilities threaten to rip her to peices... Union of Britain - Shall the British Soscialists aid the international struggle against the evils of the world, or sit in contempt on their island and hope for the best? And what of her mortal enemy, Royalist Canada? And now, please descide, this is going to be a fun few months guyes and I am looking forward to working with all of you!
Oh, and Wars are plentyfull in this game! And also can be unexpected, this is a very open ended experience unlike Hearts of Iron II (Origional) where you know WWII is going to happen on September 1st 1939...
choose one or the other France - 1 And I dont know how long I will let this pool run, but this AAR is going to probobly take a long time because a lot of events will have input from my cabinate (AKA you =D)
Union of Britain - 1 Commune of France - 1 Also, I did subscribe to my own thread so I get instant notifacation thanks to Windows live messenger. Dont forget to Subscribe to participate in whatever government we are going to play as!
Well, the ottomans are a bit week and dont have much room for expantion, so I will take your Qing. The Qing start very small but they have the oppertunity to conquer all of China, depending on how smart you are (AI usually gets parts of it). Union of Britain - 1 Commune of France -1 Qing Empire - 1 Also, i do count Canada as a great power due to technology, decent IC (about 75 total, 60 base) despite low manpower. They also have a strong navy. The ottomans do have about 50 IC, a week navy, (I think) decent manpower, and week technology. Just things to take into consideration.
Oh, if you did not see Stalins Lets Play of Hearts of Iron II, I hightly recomend you watch it so you can get a better idea of what is going on. I forgot that everyone might not nessesarily know what IC is (Industrial Capacity) Base = the number of factories, Total = actual, taking into account bonuses due to technology or miscalanous factors or penalties such as lack of resources. But, dont worry, basicly im going to present you with a situation (like a plan to organize my military in a certain way, navy or army focus, events with multiple choices, descisions to go to war). I cant posably explain all concepts in one text block, but im going to try to remember to make it as acessable as posible.
Since Ive already read a lot of AAR's on most of these countries im voting for Germany! Haven't seen that one yet. Kaisserreich is awesome btw!
Germany - 5 Canada - 2 Commune of France - 1 Qing Empire - 1 Union of Britain - 1 Canada is hard, but fuck is it fun! ok, im voting for Canada, one time im voting. Canada - 3
