If you do Mongolia you must only use non-mechanized calvary divisions for the army :colbert:

FYI you should go through the files for the AUS and USA generals and remove duplicates from the CSA general list. Far too often does George C Marshall end up fighting George C Marshall when I play the 2nd ACW.

True but I'll settle for Maurice Rose kicking Patton's rear end up and down the Carolinas.

Also a not-insignificant number of CSA politicians were buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis in the '20s.

Considering this wasn't made for KR, I think Wrangl was a good choice for the Russian nazi.

How did you manage to get the events to choose your starting government? Events like this one always seem to trigger the instant the CSA declares independence so the AI has already made those decisions before I can save and reload as them, even with the game set to pause whenever a nation declares independence.

Pause when the event that spawns them triggers, push button and while still paused, save the game.

If I recall, there wasn't much American representation among the developers and the US has less flavor events like that than Europe does.

Well there's always the Ronald Reagan gets killed flavor event that exists for no clear reason.

I don't know what specifically prompted them to kill him off, but I'm sure it was a good reason.

The story I heard was that a leftist dev early in the mods life threw it in because gently caress Reagan.

I'm playing CSA and France declined the Alsace-Lorraine or war event
Will the world war happen anyway or do I have to manipulate it via alliances?

IIRC the AI will at some point in the future get a 'gently caress it attack anyway' event that will trigger the war.

You're simply liberating their constituent atoms from their bonds. :v:

I would and I have loaded up as some nations to kick the narrative in the rear end (nothing I've written yet). The problem is that I would need to release Austria as a puppet, kick them from the alliance, and then attack and annex them, with a considerable wait in between.

Claim their territory and use acceptall to demand their land?

Does Kurdistan have any events? The independence struggle against the ottomans might be fun but I dunno if they can go anywhere since I've never not seen them get eaten.

Seems like there's a lot of effort being put into the mod for syndicalism but the where's the push for global Catholicism?

This is a good point, I don't think I've seen northern Italy, Austria and carlist Spain together in a world where they didn't hate each other. A catholic league series of events would be cool though I know Xavier has a Mediterranean league or something.

Which wasn't really the worst thing since Britain and France nearly always jumped in and if you managed to trigger the peace event you already have truces with the west or have utterly smashed the armies they repeatedly dump in Petrograd and the Crimea.

I remember one anecdote from the liberation of Paris where Hemingway wanted to go out and hunt down any remaining Nazis with a machine gun, or summat of the sort. So yeah, I think this characterization of him as some gung-ho madman is perfectly all right.

Yeah he went native during the liberation of Paris and started acting like a FFI big shot carrying around guns and wanting to torture prisoners for info.

I think a good old "inevitable escalation after some shells a border town" event would be a good way to force the war.

Or just rewrite the ambassador gets ganked event and make it the triggering cause.

It sounds like a cross of the modern day military unions mentioned above and the soldiers committees the soviets played around with before realizing that militaries are organized hierarchically for a reason.

The Carlists have been at the gates of Madrid for a while now so the Kingdom of Spain couldn't do anything if they wanted to. They're neutral towards us so the strait is open, only the Bosphorus is closed to everybody except allies.

You might want to check out the Spanish states, in my experience they all run out of manpower before one of them can win the war.
