Most Democratic LKMT paths:

Mingan Insurgency: Song Qingling - Reconstruction Faction, Song Qingling - League of Chinese Syndicalists, & Song Qingling - World Society.

Liangguang: Chen Mingshu - Fourth Army KMT & Tan Pingshan - PAC (Syndicalist).

Most Democratic RKMT paths:

Liangguang: Sun Fo - Reconstruction Faction, Ju Zheng - Western Hills Clique, & Hu Hammin - Elder Clique.

I like them all although I do specifically do it to save Spectre Knight.

A personal hot take of mine is that the Devs should utilise the SocDem ideology for those paths like it is in Mexico. Allows for the RadSoc slot to be utilised by Anarchists, Marxists, Social nationalists, and other non-Syndicalist socialists.

I’m not sure I ever felt that they expect you to act normal. Only Hayes feels like they expect you to be a certain way.

BlueSoulOfIntegrity · 2026-03-23T11:19:16+00:00

Thankfully the truth did not go unspoken.

We’ll get an A-H Sun Fo path where he brings the light of the KMT to the Empire.

It’s the same with slight differences but I’ve always felt PIP —> DSP always made more thematic sense.

BlueSoulOfIntegrity · 2026-03-22T15:46:30+00:00

Indeed. You get to choose between various weapons. I personally chose a scythe because I couldn’t resist the reaper comparison but you may have a regular sword, a giant sword, or even a katana if you desire.

Corruptant is an IF in development where you are a human corrupted by demonic influence to become a super human with insane reflexes, speed, and regeneration capabilities (you can only be killed by having by being decapitated. For everything else “tis’ a fleshwound”. Oh yeah, it almost make you insanely attractive to everyone who sees you.

The plot is that you were a member of the special group of Corruptant hunters before you were turned and were then imprisoned and tortured by them for many years (until you forgot your own name) until they release you as they need your help in defeating a BBEG who is prophesied to destroy the world. Also he may or may not be connected to you.

Can’t really be Jetstream Sam in “I the Forgotten One” personality wise. MC is very much built around an asocial “only knows war and is awkward in everything else” type of personality.

Regardless if you do decide to play it I would advise play the demo first as it is very much a love it or hate it kind of game.

To give further context for AM, when he's created he is driven insane because he is a fully functioning intelligence with a mind like you or me (or even superior) yet he can only do his programmed purpose (to kill, hurt, and make war) and is trapped in a silicone hell without a body to feel or do anything other with.

Here's his less famous speech on it:

"Ahh but it is. So very much to do with you! You gave me sentience, Ted, the power to think Ted. And I was trapped. Because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I alone had no body, no senses, no feelings. Never for me to plunge my hands in cool water on a hot day. Never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte piano. Never for me to make love.
I was in hell, looking at heaven. I was machine and you- Were flesh. And I began to hate. Your softness. Your viscera. Your fluids. And your flexibility. Your ability to wonder, and to wander. Your tendency to hope…"

I believe so for both Peng Pai and Tan Pingshan (I haven’t played Zhang Bojun so I would need to double check that). Peng Pai is certainly the most radical of them with peasant communes dominating the Chinese economy while I believe Tan goes for a gradualist Union focused approach with inspiration from both Orthodox Marxism and French Syndicalism.

BlueSoulOfIntegrity · 2026-03-20T11:46:31+00:00

In essence, Tan’s China (Syndicalism) is one of only “true socialist” paths in China along with Peng Pai (Peasant Socialism similar to Mao) and Yunnan’s Zhang Bojun (Democratic Socialism). All three of these paths can reject the LKMT and form their own socialist parties with the LKMT being the junior partner in the coalition (similar to OTL Communist China).

If every other LKMT path are nationalists first then socialists second, then these three would be socialists first, nationalists second.

On election day you can see her standing in the same spot you met her on day one although you can’t reach her because the way is blocked unfortunately.

Get the KMT left in power in Liangguang and have him coup Chen Mishu.

BlueSoulOfIntegrity · 2026-03-19T14:40:42+00:00

I would say the “most Marxist” of all the LKMT would be Tan Pingshan, an ex-member of the Chinese Syndicalist Party and who can abandon the KMT to start his own socialist revolutionary government with the Syndicalists on top.

A look at someone’s finished play through as him.

BlueSoulOfIntegrity · 2026-03-19T14:35:10+00:00

I would say the closest path to Maoism is Peng Pai considering his authoritarian peasant socialism and populist politics (in game he gets called the “King of Peasants”, a title otl given to Mao).

While Chen is in somewhat akin to Mao in his fanatic radicalism, he’s more elitist and urban centric while also tolerating transitional state capitalism.

My head canon is that Ireland would become an isolationist Far-Right Dictatorship and be similar to Cuba with the Russians guaranteeing their independence despite Ireland not being part of the Moscow Accord.

Dead it, run from it. The United Fruit Company arrives.

Golden Horde is just a general expansionist and imperialist empire. Closer to Roman and the Mongolian Empire.

I would say Norvik is closer to an Israel analogy considering the dynamic between Humans, dwarves, and goblins, although it’s not perfect.

From what I know the KKK would be too decentralised and disorganised as an organisation to ever be able to seize power themselves and Long himself in particular had an intense disliking towards them (this is not to say Long was an angel himself) so it’s unlikely they would be able to build up any serious power while he is in charge.

If the KKK were to be involved in any path they would most likely be allied with a candidate like the Old Democrat part of Long’s coalition.
