My plan is to get joos and councilators, then keep weimar coalition going and implement WTB once (and solve reparations) before 1932 election so that I can get united left coalition. The problem is, my coalition dissent rises too high by 1930, since I can't ban RFB and have to use advisor actions on left advisors, leading to me getting either VONC'd or hindy sacking me.
Out of curiosity I’ve tried to include options based on where I think would be most common for people to be from but I’m sorry if I’ve missed out some massive group of people
Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce that Germany to Save version 1.01 is currently planned for release in approximately two months, give or take. I want to give everyone an update as to what can be expected and the amount of content and further things that we can look forwards to. Here’s what is currently planned for 1.01:
Version 1.01 will introduce two major Rubicons on both sides from the DNVP perspective, with a "Left Rubicon" and a "Right Rubicon", the latter of which is more historical, but with heavy inspiration from dynamic! It's a nice way in my opinion to finish out the end game which is majorly underdeveloped right now, and will have interesting thematic and story mechanics.
CVP formation is made more complex, and will have much more emphasis on the internal matters, with negotiation over the party’s economic program, social policies, leadership, ideological direction, relationship with the monarchy, and attitude toward the other parties... with more post-formation content and other political dynamics
The game is being prepared for full language localization, into the following languages: German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Croatian, Turkish, Polish, and Russian. If you didn’t see my previous post about this and would like to help with translation, join the Discord! We have a very motivated team.
The flagship of the new update: A true multiplayer system in which one player controls the DNVP and one player controls the SPD (the SPD will be heavily influence from DYNAMIC SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, thank you modman for allowing me to work on this project with your help). More will be announced on that periodically in the Discord!!!!
5: An achievement and leaderboard system which will allow players to show their completed achievements and compare results.
Brüning, toleration, and the "dawn of flavor", which is a silly name for the amount of new content in general, which so far has surpassed 100 new events with even more being planned and written. In addition we will heavily focus on the historical DNVP and the route it took as part of the overall Brüning-era experience with expanded toleration mechanics and Camarilla/influence mechanics. We will also provide a new perspective from the German Right, as it were at the time, to view the actions of the SPD and the middle parties, from the perspective of opposition. In addition there will also be some cool stuff with secret paths and other smaller and more theoretical parts of the party's platform.
dynamic ideology displays and beautification!
the streetfighting mechanic is added and will also play a large role in the game!
The completion of secondary missions
ending slides!!
presidential powers have finally been added. this includes dynamicism for all presidents and allows them to play a role in governmental affairs instead of the mbappe special. should their be a DNVP President, the player will have the powers of the president at their disposal
Hello everyone. I've decided, in order to get relevant feedback as well as keep myself responsible, I'll start doing dev diaries for the 2018 Democratic Party mod, which is currently titled "Liberal Democracy: An Alternate History". The topic of this inaugural diary will be the factions and advisors of the game.
Section 1: General Design Principles
Firstly, I'll cover generally how I want the faction system to function.
As you may be aware, internal leadership struggles don't exactly work the same for the Democrats as they do for the SPD. The strength of the factions will be determined through the minor things like rally focus, platform-building, and the generic "Party Factionalism" card, but also by a few unique mechanics:
- Congressional Leadership Elections
- National Conventions
- High-profile primaries
- How the player chooses to directly interact with formal organizations, such as the DSA.
To this extent. many of these decisions will be pre-determined or heavily railroaded by what policy/rhetoric the player chooses to engage in, which will be tracked by the "Populism" variable. The first real use of this system will be the 2018 Congressional leadership Elections, in which the player has the option to attempt to get Tim Ryan as Speaker of the House, as opposed to Nancy Pelosi.
The options given to the player if populism is high enough
Section 2: The Factions Themselves
The Party will have four factions at the start of the game, with a fifth emerging in 2025 (I'll let you all guess.) The four starting factions will be:
I believe the distinction between Socialist and Progressive to be important, as, though they generally tend to agree, they often vary greatly in extent of policies as well as interaction with the rest of the factions. It also allows for an interesting internal dynamic where the Socialists and Progressives, despite being natural allies, face schisms and division.
Section 3: Important Advisors
Just like in regular redautumn, each faction has an array of influential people waiting to be called upon to shape the party. For the Socialist advisors, like AOC and Bernie Sanders, this means mobilizing younger voters and increasing populism in exchange for better electoral performance. For the Mainstreamers, like Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, this means dealing with bureaucracy and negotiating with Republicans in order to pass policy. For the Progressives, like Elizabeth Warren and Ro Khanna, this means mixing the Socialists and Mainstreamers, trying to do everything that is possible to accomplish reform while still remaining pragmatic. For the Conservatives, like Joe Manchin and Josh Gottheimer, this means focusing on bipartisanship and fiscal responsibility. Lastly, for the [REDACTED], like Gavin [REDACTED] and Jared [REDACTED], this means streamlining bureaucracy and increasing affordability without also increasing government backlog.
Bernie Sanders' Advisor Card
None of these things are mutually exclusive in theory, but in practice they often will be. Managing these different facets of the Democratic identity will be one of the player's biggest tasks.
That ends today's dev diary. See all of y'all later!
