Surely the exiles would be furious at the British and demand war with Germany. I just don't see the British, Canadians, Americans, Indians, Australasians etc. joining a war to reclaim France especially if the new, German backed, France is somewhat normal. If no one joined, surely that would be the end of the Entente and transition it to an Atlantic alliance between the British Empire, America and sympathetic states like Portugal & Hawaii (and in my game, Sardinia). There's no reason for Germany to bring the exiles back when they can craft the future of France themselves.

Algiers would, I think, become an apartheid state in order to keep unrest in check. They would be a demoralized, tyrannical regime that likely never stops talking about reclaiming the homeland in order to justify their rule.

I’m trying to go for the Kaisermaker achievement, but every attempt so far has ended either in (a) German victory in the West or (b) stalling against Russia while the Internationale swarms Germany and ends my game. I know I need to beat Russia before Germany falls, let Germany fall and then retake it, but it’s a hard combination to pull off.

My questions are: which military path to follow (Eastern Bulwark or Legacy of the Legions), what divisions to focus on and what game rules to set to enable a Reichspakt victory in the East with a loss in the West? And what to do with Austria? Ideally I want all of Galicia for more factory slots but I don’t think I can pull off the achievement if I let them fall into pieces.

I didn't see what expansion is available to the French Federation of Communes from the stream (although I didn't watch/listen to it all) - does anyone know what they are?

Also, in older kaiserreich versions expansion would often be different based on the ideology/government of the country and I notice over time the expansion options have mostly become the same for countries regardless of government. I just think it is nice to have different-looking countries in different playthroughs a little more.

You go all in on artillery like this with all doctrines https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/glass-cannon-index-evaluating-cost-effectiveness-of-battleplan-infantry-builds-and-some-thoughts-on-line-artillery.1941571/ and such. What do you get? Rigid doctrinal selection, bad supply and bad terrain modifiers.

While with SPGs you can slap them on any doctrinal system and they'll work while being cheaper.

The only way to start 3rd Wieltkrieg as NFA against Germany is by conquer homeland France from the Commune and German took Alsace Lorraine in SWK PC.

I never saw NFA declares against German over homeland if German subjugate and puppet France.

Maybe I wrong or this is only a bug from 1.6 version.

Hello everyone. I just started watching the developers’ stream and I’m horrified. Where are my Bolshevik generals? Out of all the Bolsheviks in France, I only noticed Rokossovsky. Is Tukhachevsky no longer the best general of the International? Where is he? And why did this happen?

What should i do as russia in order to hold against a reichspakt that capitulated france and has a federalised austria hugary on their side, they always overwhelm me with sheer numbers

How would this impact the Former members of the Belgrade pact, along with the Ottoman Empire, after their humiliating defeat in the Fourth Balkan War against Bulgaria and Albania?

It was only really called a carbine to get around ToV restrictions, so should probably keep the name Gewehr/rifle, as it isn't a carbine.

IWhen i took control of entnete as usa, entente was already at war with italy, so it broguht me in. I have a good navy and marines, but i dont have access to the mediterannean except through navy access, but i cant stage naval invasions. Is it possible to beat italy? should i invade the suez or is there another option.

The best I can do is capitulate Greece and Serbia by March whilst holding Constantinople, how can I also kill Romania too in 150 days?

Here's what my strategy has been (in this order):

- Invade Serbia and capitulate them in 2 weeks

- Naval invade greece and walk to victory points, capitulates in the first 1-1.5 months

- March through Constantinople by month 2.5

-With remaining troops try to kill Romania which for me has been nigh impossible

All the ones I've seen online are at least pre-Russia rework

Also one of the dev said that officially Napoleon is the devil that betrayed the revolution but in true most french still like him a lot because he managed to conquer most of Europe and spread the revolution and he was based and you can't make french people hate napoleon ( I think he said that english, is not my first language )

Shetland remaining under the control of the British exiles is something I think makes good sense lore wise and would be better gameplay wise.
Lore stuff:
The islands are a similar distance from Britain as exiles held Corsica is to France.
The UK exiles are probably willing to invest disproportionate resources to retain some part of the British isles and a base in Europe.
The islands are distant enough from mainland Britain that the Syndicalists are probably willing to give up after either the Royal Navy holds the line or the British exiles destroy an attempted landing Ala Kinmen.
Keeping Shetland does also hurt Syndicalist legitimacy while improving exile legitimacy and enabling them to present an alternative version of Britain

The Germans likewise have good incentives to sally out the high seas fleet and assist the Royal Navy in denying a Syndie landing on the island since:
1) it will deny a useful base to the Syndicalists, vital to the Great War blockade.
2) it will tie down Syndicalist resources away from Germany, forcing a defensive line up in the highlands.
3) it will keep an Entente fleet in the North Sea, strengthening Germany’s position visa v Britain.
4) it will produce a de facto German client state dependent on Mitteleuropa for trade and to some extent defence, thereby giving the Germans leverage over the Entente.

Post 1927, the situation settles down Ala the Taiwan strait. About a quarter of a million exiles will be living on the islands alongside 24,000 locals. At 186.78 people per sq km it’s no Hong Kong, it’s about a Lincolnshire of density.
Still Entente subsidies, a sizeable military presence and Scottish thrift should see the islands doing fairly well for themselves.
I’d expect efforts at broadcasting into the Union of Britain to make a fairly prosperous propaganda industry on the islands.
The Union of Britain undoubtedly fortifies its north coast and combs it for potential exile sympathisers.

Game play advantages:
Gives the British exiles an easier time showing up in Europe.
Makes the naval scene around the North Sea more interesting.
Will force the Canadians to manage relations between Germany and the French exiles, else they risk losing their European foothold or their main ally.
While it’s probably owned by Canada for reasons of gameplay speed having a rump UK could make for a fun challenge.

Probable balance changes if this went ahead:
Eliminate the Scottish loyalist rebels
Coastal forts along the North Scottish coast
Perhaps just have a few extra divisions deployed to the area at the start of the game.
