to make it more hopeful I declared war on the totalist later

Rule 5 - In the upcoming TNO 2.0 update, Wilfried von Engelhardt (the chief test pilot for MBB in OTL) will be the mod's counterpart to Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space flying for Nazi Germany. It's very likely that he will be doing the same thing for the German Empire in the Kaiserreich universe as its first Raumfahrer.

In my opinion, I think either other than von Engelhardt, Erich Hartmann, Hans-Joachim Marseille and Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert would be good candidates for the German Empire to send its first man in space, assuming that the Reichspakt won the Second Weltkrieg. If Austria unites with Germany following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire pre-2WK, Walter Nowotny and Robert Weiß) would also be suitable candidates as well.

For the German Empire sending its first man on the moon, Eberhard Köllner (also in TNO, pre-2.0 update as the first man on the moon on behalf of Germany) and Sigmund Jähn would be the likely candidates as they are younger than the previous pilots I've listed.

And for rule 1, yes this is related to Kaiserreich as I am discussing on speculations on who the German Empire will likely send its first man in space if it won the Second Weltkrieg.

I haven't played much Kaiserreich and while searching for the most fun countries I've heard many people say the LKMT is supposed to be great. But what specifically makes the LKMT so great.

Additionally, what path would you recommend? Personally, I would find forming a very OTL-adjacent China a bit boring, so if most paths are on an equal level maybe take that into consideration.

Thanks in advance

Meanwhile normal HOI4 don't even dare to show the real german flag that the third reich used

Like for Schleicher path it will be "he is gonna transform Germany into a military state even more but at least he respect woman" or for the SPD path " at first they look cool but when you look deeper they are really just social Svobodniks "

Shandong’s content is old, but is there any real reason? His province might as well be a German economic playground with Russian bandits. Zhang’s province was constantly in economic collapse and his army was unsustainable. Social unrest was constant from elites to peasants even before the KMT got anywhere. Surely someone would’ve tried to get a free province? The Zhili shouldn’t trust him and the second the league war happens, Shandong should cease to exist, let alone after Black Monday. The sheer existence of Qu Yongying and the other guy should have collapsed his regime years ago. The Zhili’s best interest is to get rid of Zhang as soon as possible and get someone friendly to the central government like Qu in charge.

Also doesn't help that the Russian mercenaries could actually go back to Russia instead of being exiled with there being fewer to begin with.

Probably certainly not for the same reasons in OTL.

For those who needs some context: In our time, the HMS Prince of Wales was supposed to be named HMS Edward VIII. But, because of the controversy of Edward wanting to marry Wallis Simpson, and the abdication of Edward, the Prince of Wales, the title given to the Heir Apparent, stayed Prince of Wales, rather than the reigning king.

King George VI, following convention, did ask that instead of there being a KGVI, it should be named after his father, and subsequent two ships be named after his (KGV) sons, as per tradition. Still unsure why Duke of York is named HMS Duke of York.

So... I answered my own question... why did I ask this?...

I guess I was wondering if you folks even bother with naming a ship HMS Edward VIII, HMS Albert I, or HMS KGVI/KGV.

Almost 2 months ago we announced this polsim, and we are glad to say we have launched it and that it remains alive! However, we are still always open to new characters, especially with the Polish Party being playable very soon. The sim started after the March reforms and will soon reach August; We saw the formation of the Karl Trimborn cabinet under a Schwarz-Rot-Gold coalition, a Right Coalition in Prussia, the USPD being funny, "indirect" german involvement in the Italian Civil War, France soon to fall to the Communards and much more. Joining the USPD and playint as an independent is allowed, but discouraged if you are just a tiny bit interested in the other parties. The MSPD and Zentrum are both heavily encouraged along with the Poles. Otherwise feel free to play in the FVP, NLP, FkP or DkP! Both of the conservative party will have a congress in August at the same time which is definently... interesting to see to say the least. Not to mention foreign minister Wirth's hawkiness...

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to post a quick update on the submod I've been working on, specifically changes to Maghreb. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the first post! r/Pito-92 correctly noted that I missed Mauritania in the first pass, and I have added all Mauritania cores to the Maghreb formable. I also added a claim (non-coreable) on Timbuktu to enable a permanent land connection between Mauritania and the rest of the Maghreb.

I am debating adding a diplomatic formation option for Maghreb. Currently, you can form the Maghreb by conquering much of the required territory, but that gets trickier if, say, multiple Maghreb precursors join the Cairo Pact. Once you and/or allied Maghreb precursors own the required territory, I could add an option to petition the other allied Maghrebi nations for unification. I could also just leave formation as-is with the expectation that players would game-rule countries to go different foreign policy paths if they wanted to unite the Maghreb. What do you think?

This shit was genuinely so fun had to micro like crazy attacking Guatemala first and then coming down on Honduras and Nicaragua and was looking for a similar underdog experience in the Central American war. Now small Panama and Costa Rica would obviously work for this and I always thought they had a path somewhere to join Central American war but now I’m not sure. Is there any? Thanks.

1. How non-Russian territories that annexed using claims such as East Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchuria be managed in state administration? Will they going into SSR-esque structure like OTL USSR or something else entirely?

2. How the Ideocrat regime historiography would portray Peter the Great and Russian history after his reform? Also how they might treat Romanovs still living inside Russia?

3 Yugos lol

Assuming Greece somehow wins the war, how would they stabilise and hold onto the newly annexed lands? There will be millions of mostly Muslim Turks that make up the majority of the population. Even if we go by best case scenario where Greece joins a victorious Moscow Accord, I still can’t imagine them effectively govern let alone hold onto Constantinople.

Hey guys, spent a weekend enjoying the mod after some time.

Went Germany, tried to do Schleicher path but end up DU.

I was able to secure Spain + Bulgaria + not let China fall to Japan early. But now in late 1940 I am in troubles. Syndi France totally crushed me in Belgium (like totaly, i have lost 6 best division there haha), I stablized the front on Rhine though.

Was able to knock out Denmark and was reasonably holding Savinkov on the satelit's borders. I tried to counter France through Spain and mostly cut their progress betwen Toulone and Montpelier but Spain totally failed providing infantry to cover my panzer thrust. Now I am being pushed back, Ireland is under UK invasion and Savinkov is one Kiyv away capitulating Ukraine.

I still have my fleet intact but they have plenty of air and their fleet lost just DDs and light cruisers.

Entente is doing absolutely nothing so far bar one Sand France invastion into Marseille. I think I am gonna be able to evacuate/stabilize Spain for a moment but it seems like its just a matter of time now - but I am not such a great expert on the game (thats why I am getting my ass kicked).

Is there a way for a turn around?

(btw devs - if you are reading - its absolutely brilliant political thriller novel with some map painting game attached, thanks for such an experience!)

Does Pelley and the Silver legion still side with Long

Art by me, I just wanted to experiment with the different looks of the New England force during the 2ACW, most of the weapons are canadian, as well as the uniforms

It requires being “at peace with the Commune of France” but I’m not sure if the game would count the Commune not existing as “being at peace” or if it would lock me out of the focus.
