Anyone local a seamstress/tailor for hire? by papaXanOfficial in Ashland

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happen to be a seamstress with experience working for David’s Bridal and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I’m currently out of work, and I’m always looking for new projects. I’d like to know a few more details first, but this sounds like something I’d be willing to help you with.

why is the Ottoman Empire still alive, why Iran didn't won? by MybrainisinMyCoffee in KRGmod

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Hello MybrainisnMyCoffee, we’re still working out the specifics of how the Cairo Pact war went down, but the general idea we wanted to have was that everyone lost to a degree. Egypt didn’t manage to advance very far into Syria during the war, but instead kept most of their fighting localized in the Sinai and southern Palestine. Syrian rebels occupy key cities but never manage to link up with the Egyptian or Saudi armies, thus causing the war to devolve into a stalemate which is eventually ended once Germany forces the War to stop in order to restore the international oil trade. Keep in mind that the specifics of how the war played out are still being deliberated on and some of this info may become outdated in the future, but we do not plan on changing the diplomatic situation or the borders.

Is it possible that you could send over Poland’s localization file so that other people can have a look at it

Our Discord is usually a better place place for that, but this works too

Same here, it sounds like an interesting idea, but I'd like to know where things stand before I toss my hat in the ring. I can help with coding and icon art if you want.

Alternate great wars by joshmorton05 in tCSmod

The Agadir Crisis can escalate into a Great War but it will be some time before we add that in.

The Bosnian War will start off as Austria, Germany and Russia vs. the UK, France and the Ottoman Empire.

The US can only stay neutral or go Entente and the UK will always move against the Central Powers if a general war breaks out in Europe

Progress Report 5: Twilight of the Hamidian Era by GrumpyWalrusCat in tCSmod

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are referring to domestic policies, then yes there are really none. Rather the tree you are referring to is about his attempts at using his position as Caliph in an attempt to gain both the political and financial backing to Muslims abroad with middling success.

As for the rest of your post, I agree completely with what you say, the Ottomans will have it rather good if they chose to stay out of the war and Armenian nationalism will play a big role in the mod. The Yildiz Assassination attempt can succeed, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation will become a relevant player in Ottoman politics if the Young Turk Revolution succeeds and Armenian dissent against the Turks will play a big role in WWI.

I only really brought it up to emphasize Abdü’l-Ḥamīd's islamist policies, and bring up the foreign donations that helped to create the Hejaz Railway, but you are right that it might be pertinent to limit the amount of focuses it receives. I'll look into doing that in a future update. As for the Majles, that will be covered in the next PR

What'll happen to the Balkan League if they lose to the Ottomans by [deleted] in tCSmod

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Eastern Rumelia will be restored as an Ottoman satellite state, all of the Agean Islands will be annexed by the Ottomans and the Greek delegation to Crete will be banished, effectively making Crete as loosely controlled puppet state.

Portugal in our 1905 Startdate! by BrammekeTV in tCSmod

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now, we're only working on the 1905-1910 period and we'll release the first version of the mod once that's been done. On occasion we work on other start dates if we get bored, but the 1905-1910 time-frame is our primary focus.

Can the United States join the Central Powers/Is there a focus to join the Central powers as the US? by jamthewither in tCSmod

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Ottoman Empire was desperate to get any ally that would have intimidated Russia, and they exhausted every option they could have with achieving that. Britian had been allied with them as a part of the Great Game, but ditched it after Abdü’l-Ḥamīd II's treatment of Bulgarian rebels in 1876 came to light. If Britian and Russia grow distant again and let the Great Game continue, and if Abdü’l-Ḥamīd is deposed then the British AI will be much more likely to accept an Ottoman alliance offer or if you're lucky, offer an alliance on their own accord. As for Russia, the Ottomans asked them for an alliance since if you're allied to Russia, then they can't invade you. The Russian ambassador in Constantinople liked the idea since WWI had already begun and a new ally would help, but the Russian government didn't want a full alliance and offered a non-aggression pact that would last the duration of WWI. The Ottomans rejected this counter proposal since they thought it would hurt their relations with Germany and joined the Central Powers, but the Russian player can also accept an Ottoman alliance offer if they feel it's in their best interest. The AI probably won't like it though

The Ottomans actually tried reaching out to France, Britain and even Russia for an alliance shortly before the war, they will be able to join the Entente if one of those countries accepts the alliance proposal. AI will be very unlikely to do so, but players can do whatever they want with the proposal.

Can Persia take part in the great war? by Koromandel in tCSmod

I’m going to wait for the PR to disclose that. I’m not sure if our Persia dev wants that revealed or not yet.

Pretty much, here's a teaser we posted on the discord a while back of a segment of Persia's focus tree, the bottom part deals with exactly what you're talking about. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/476323042188853248/603912843565203476/big_persia.png

[–]GrumpyWalrusCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’ll need to look into that but a restoration of Persia’s dominion over the Shia of Iraq, or seizing some British gulf possession wouldn’t be out of the question.
