I feel like the main reason you don't see a horrible genocide a la reality is that KR is a game about making a realistic alt-history WW2. If KR had some additional horrible genocide involved, then I don't think Paradox would be cool with allowing them to host their mod on their forum. You got to remember that KR is community-based, and Paradox doesn't allow you to post the swastika on their forum, even in historical photos of the Third Reich.

If you really are hankering for a good ol' fashion genocide, then gawddamn, mod your own events in and simulate one :v:

That's a bit of a flaw considering that strategic bombing took us a long way towards winning the war.

It's not an indictment of strategic bombings effects in the war, it's an indictment of how Darkest Hour handles it - poorly.

Same thing with Hoi3. A fleet composed of Carriers+the proper of light cruisers and destroyers will work, as it did historically, but it won't work nearly as well as an all CV fleet or some silly poo poo like an 80 CL zerg fleet. That being said though, Strat bombing is really overpowered in Hoi3. You can bomb Germany to like 12 IC with only a couple squadrons.

So the New English (?) Army is destroyed for the most part. Now you only have to fight a three front war.

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.

KasierReich- The utterly improbable happens, even 400 years after the Peace of Westphalia. :allears:

Wars have been fought, millons have died, thousands of years of history changed, all to make the borders look pretty.

So, does this mean the Entente is now full scale war with the Internationale? What's Mitteleuropa going to be doing?

The production AI kinda sucks through Pdox HOI series. In HOI3, America will inevitably decide to build infrastructure to max on remote islands it owns, build forts in the middle of America, build a terrifying amount of aircraft carriers, and similarly run itself completely out of manpower mass manufacturing mechanized divisions.

A nutty European Baron restoring a empire that was completely made up by Korean Nationalists in the 1960s? :allears:

Definitely something for KR. Next update, of course.

If Napoleon III can run Algeria, then the PSA should have a 1 percent chance of being run by Norton II.

Wait, this guy is running Algeria? He'd be 128 by 1936. Algeria would be running by a literal zombie.

The problem, I feel, is that most Posters on SA are Westerners and don't really care about Chinese impact on East Asia/India. If you're gonna compare sheer geographical size and population, China throughout its various iterations wins almost every time, but if you're gonna compare cultural impact, I'd say that its a toss-up between the Chinese, the Romans, and the Mongols.

The impact of the Chinese is so pervasive that Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, still have writing systems largely based on Chinese Caligraphy, and the fact that many places in Southeast Asia and Indonesia are home to generations of Overseas Chinese who's progenitors arrived there thousands of years ago. The impact of the Chinese culture is incredibly pervasive in Southeast Asia, and the only reason it isn't stronger in more parts of the world is the fact that there's a big fukken desert on the Western side of China and big fukken mountain range on the Southwestern Side.

Yeah, that's a fairly stupid metric to judge a state by. Cultures aren't remembered for the sheer number of people they ruled, but rather than the cultural and sociological novelties they left behind that persisted to the nations that followed them. Roman poo poo pervades western society so fully they you can't spit without running into one of their legal principles, descendant languages, alphabet, calender, etc. I'd argued their sole equal in that respect is Han China who essentially left behind a long-lasting legacy in the East like Rome did in the West.

^^this sums up Romans influence quite well. Western cultures, and even to sum extent, Middle Eastern cultures draw upon Roman influence dramatically.

And finally, the Mongols wrecked everybodies poo poo. They absolutely decimated the Middle East,China, India, Southeast Asia, Europe (Russia and Hungary in particular), and pretty much anywhere their horses could set foot. Most places where the Mongols showed up either barely recovered or never did. The Mongol sack of Baghdad in the 12th century was so devastating that the city remained uninhabited for almost a century post-sack, and it never recovered to its former glory.

I just realized that the CSA flag is the International Workers of the World flag. I really should've drawn the connection, considering how much time I've spent studying them :cripes:

.

So, I'm guessing the plan is - spam carriers and then get the eventual 50th state back to its rightful masters?

Nothing like trying to puzzle out how the gently caress the RGOs, Artisans, and factories work together. Victoria 2 is a hard game to get into, largely because the industrialization aspect is absolutely critical but not really explained.

The USA had half the world's industrial capacity in 1940. In game terms, RL USA is massively overpowered compared to any of its potential opponents.
