Zeroisanumber posted:Once the US is sewn up the Syndicate will be in a commanding position to conquer the world. Really, any faction in the ACW is capable of conquering the world once they manage to unite the entirety of the USA, given that they're a dictatorship. Well, maybe the PSA could have troubles, but then again, free ships.

I'm finding it pretty hilarious that Norman Thomas is our head of intelligence seeing as he was a Christian pacifist. Oh god, he's going to be purged,isn't he?

Is Patton going to die? Seriously though death through combat is too good for him, especially since I think he'd prefer that way instead of firing squad. But are there events covering what happens to leaders when their faction loses? Because having them tried, executed/imprisoned, or released are good flavour events that have the potential to influence the country later. And does anyone know why Atlanta is the capital since isnt New Orleans Long's center of operations? Unless its for balance reasons since it is close Federal territory.

The Union of Britain can make Eric Arthur Blair (ie George Orwell) their head of security. Even better, he can coup the government under a Totalist Union of Britain because he can standby the injustice no longer.

And if I remember correctly the coup is done with the help of T.E. Lawrence, which can branch off into an even-more insane event tree wherein Lawrence can try to bring back the royal family and ignite a new civil war.

Lawrence can be made interim head of state if I recall. He can then be revealed as a secret royalist (!). There is at least one other route to getting him launch a counterrevolution, which involves a less convoluted route (but by extension a far less amusing one).

I am loving the narrative style of this LP and how quickly you're progressing through the worst campaign in Kaiserreich. Before I burned out on developing it I wanted to make the ACW optional or at least have some way of changing to the AUS or CSA without saving and tag switching. Maybe when Hearts of Iron IV arrives, if enough new people get back into development.

I say we wait and integrate our new territories, then retake Texas and the southwest and put Toledano or whatever his name is back in charge of Mexico. We'll need help to fight a three-front war, because even if we can build up a ridiculously superior force we don't know when the poo poo's gonna hit the fan.

Mexico isn't in the Entente so he should have been able to avoid a three-front war. It's funny, in the CSA game I just played, Mexico was like my best friend, they sent more troops over the course of the war than France or Britain did. Also, Canada never took New England and the PSA petitioned to join the Central Powers and Germany told them to go to hell. Made for a fairly easy North American theatre. That just goes to show how different one KR game is from another.

The CSA's western border looks fine, but that Mexican-PSA border is worthy of a war in and of itself. If you think you can win the war in Mexico within a year, go for them first -- otherwise if the inevitable Entente-Internationale war ignites in 1939, you might find yourself embroiled in a three front war (that you'll still win, because USA).

I'd say hit Mexico fast and hard and puppet them. A socialist Mexico will prove a strong ally when war breaks out with the Entente. Even more important, if Centroamerica is willing to play ball, you could have a land route to the Canal Zone. Also requesting that one of the mini-LPs be Italian Federation. There are tons of possible directions to go in; I just finished a game where the Pope I elected invited a Savoyard claimant to the throne to serve as head of state who then bitch slapped Austria (No Cavour Required) for Venice and Trento and then radically industrialized the economy before teaming up with Germany against the Syndies and eventually breaking away to form a Mediterranean alliance block and entertaining ridiculous irredentist fantasies in North Africa and the Balkans.

The PSA and New England will come in time. In 1939 (or '38 if we're unlucky) the International is going to end up at war with one of the alliance blocks, quite possibly both. Chief, is tech team inheritance on? The CSA's teams suck so I won't blame you if it is.

No it is not but I have helped myself to a few of the USA's and changed the start date on some of the CSA's. I'll make a note of which ones when they come around.
