On the alternate-ideology note, is that why Wrangel is the nat-pop Russian option? I never got why he would be the more extreme option than Denikin or other White leaders. He certainly isn't comparable to Ungern-Sternberg at least. My impression is that he was picked for that just because he has the cool nickname of The Black Baron. But maybe I'm missing something?

Eugene V. Debs needs more representation in CSA flavor events. Too bad he is presumably dead in this timeline too. (and even if not he'd be 80 at the startdate)

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.

RZApublican posted: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).

Chief Savage Man posted:Yes, in Mongolia land, the election goes forward, Reed wins, MacArthur eventually coups, the war plays out, MacArthur wins, and now I am seeing democratic elections with MacArthur running as a Republican. I think the war itself is inevitable but even if MacArthur acts like a tyrant, it's possible for a restoration of democracy. It is technically possible to avoid the war, but it is an oversight. If you elect Long and stay moderate on his reforms, the war just never triggers.

That mod oversight is way more impressive than the oversight or glitch I encountered last time I played Mongolia. I happened to be at war with Japan at the same time as the Qing were at war with Japan. We weren't allied or anything, we just hadn't came to blows just yet. Japan got some treaty event with the Qing, Pu Yi accepted...and for some reason it also ended my war with Japan. It left me a tad confused for a few moments when I tried to figure out why I was suddenly at peace. Not a big impediment over all, but strange none the less.

Belligerence is the closest thing DH has to badboy, but it does exactly 2 things: 1, allow democracies to declare on you and 2, make the AI more willing to declare on you. So it does very, very little. Bulgaria's declaration is probably the only impact from our utterly insane belligerance we will see in the Mongolia game, for instance.

Just the idea of Charlie Chaplain, Master Diplomat sounded amusing. Being an actor has to help with diplomacy, right? Also because none of the other minister positions seemed to make sense in my mind. As for what personality he'd have as a theoretical foreign minister, hmm. I would need to go over the options, I don't know the personalities off the top of my head. Ideological Crusader, as he satirizes other ideologies? ... Great Compromiser, as he charms other diplomats by satirizing their enemies? I don't know. It wasn't meant to be the most serious of suggestions (though having him go on diplomatic missions still sounds  )

Grizzwold posted:Yeah, in the last version as Russia I would never do the second Treaty of Brest-Litovsk because for some reason I kept getting an event afterwards where Germany wanted me to give them back White Ruthenia, which I had just integrated. I just wish there was a way to knock them out of the war entirely after they gently caress off to Africa in the other decisions because they can't do poo poo at that point anyhow. I had one game where all of German Africa got occupied, after Germany got kicked out of Europe, but the war never ended because Germany still held 1 or 2 islands in the pacific worth a single VP each.

Is Konoe Fumimaro up to anything in KR Japan? I don't see why he wouldn't be the head of the house of peers, as he was in OTL. His writings are probably specifically anti-German in KR, but otherwise he seems like he'd be in a fairly similar position. He seems like he should be doing something at least, considering his immense popularity and prestige among the populace. Plus he's a Fujiwara, and a Fujiwara in government in the 20th century is just magical. He could be the front man for some aristocratic dominance of the government, as a rejection of both the parties and the military. I guess like the aristocratic democracy route Russia gets. Or he could lead a Nat-Pop mass party into power, as the army wanted him to in OTL, which could present a different way for Japan to go full nat-pop. Or maybe he became Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, as he tried and failed to become in OTL, to give him a role that keeps him out of the spot light.

The main reason he didn't get the Lord Keeper job in real life was the court thought he was too friendly with the army, which might not be the case in this timeline. Though if the election events for Japan ever do get expanded to include options outside the main two parties, the Social Mass(es) Party are probably the one most easily justified.

The German coup of Australia event has always worked weirdly for me. Or at least the last time I saw it at least. It made Edward VIII the head of state, which seemed strange considering the event also entailed them joining Mitteleuropa.  Edit: one time I saw both Russia and the US decide to join the Entente, which made them a fair bit scarier. Don't think they ended up doing anything with their newfound strength though.

I always like when the French Nationalists restore the kingdom and Germany beats up the Commune and makes its own puppet monarchy, resulting in two entities called the Kingdom of France. The different flags distinguish them in pop ups, but as far as the log is concerned they are indistinguishable.

Brazil also goes syndicalist fairly often. Usually at least two other South American states go syndicalist and they form an alliance, but which ones are fairly random. Only Argentina and Chile can't, as far as I can remember. But sometimes you get the rare option like in this game and only one goes that route.

Dibujante posted:It's really hard to say. To make him the inheritor of Rome's legacy, he would have to adopt Rome's institutions to some extent. Did he? Or is successors? At that point, Rome was an ecclesiastically-endorsed semi-dynastic dictatorship, but not monarchy. Mehmed II most definitely intended to rule as a monarch, and the structure of the Ottoman Empire seems like it was strictly monarchical. That said, some of its power struggles seem fairly Roman (there's nothing the Romans excelled at more than power struggles), although rather than assassinating and overthrowing their leaders, the Ottomans would generally assassinate one and trot out someone else from the dynasty. He inherited the only parts that mattered: the fancy city and the fancy titles.
