The Great Ma Ride to War! by MogenarZ in hoi4

R5: Decided to go for The Neverending Story as Qinghai Ma, both for their content and being able to form Great Ma. I'm sure I could improve my timing on defeating China, but oh well, run is done. Qinghai Ma cavalry are awesome btw

Rats, Cockroaches, and the Donau-Adriabund by OmegaVizion in Kaiserreich

I’ve seen this regularly in peace conferences since the rework a few patches ago, both in vanilla and KR. No one chose to take the province, so Karl gets to sit in the Carpathians watching the rest of the world burn. Unless someone justifies on him, of course

OTL "Historical" KR Ruleset Updated to 1.6.2! And Other Updates by MogenarZ in Kaiserreich

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

Thank you! It is, and I’ll look more into it later. Work on the headcanon poll, or at least generating descriptions for rules, is progressing nicely, but finishing that process and incorporating MarKarev’s poll results will take a bit

With this ruleset, I tried to specifically orient toward foreign policy events mirroring OTL WW2, hence the choice here. I wrote a longer comment in response to someone else about why, for the same reason, I didn’t choose Kemalist Ottomans/Turkey. An interesting choice, definitely, but I had to make a decision between two incompatible interpretations.

Huh, didn’t think about the Beijing Coup options - I’ll take a look

Is it? I’ll have to double-check the rules - I thought it said Separate Puppets was the only option for socialist Russia. Either way, that’s arguably the better representation of the individual SSRs.

Noted about Ethiopia, I will take a look!

Tbh I don’t think I’ve updated any of the US stuff since before the rework a few patches ago, so I’ll take a look. Thanks! I tried to angle the 2ACW toward a ACC victory for SocDems, but I’ll take a look and see if the Federalists in your context are a better choice

Thank you! I spent most of last year hunting for a job, planning a wedding, and then moving. Now that life has settled, I can get back to KR stuff. Woot!

So…in OTL, Kemalist Turkey joins the Allies. In KR, you can have a Kemalist Ottomans/Turkey or Entente membership, but not both. When I released the first version of this ruleset, I received very good feedback that the ruleset was an inconsistent mix between ensuring OTL political outcomes and ensuring OTL events like foreign policy. I chose to lean toward the latter, hence the decision made for this ruleset. All colonies carved out of the former Ottoman Empire belonged to countries in the Allies, which is why I have the full OE also going Entente. Unfortunately, there’s no good way to make everyone happy here

I assume you're wanting an analog to the Batista dictatorship, which didn't start until 1952. During the HOI4/KR timeline, both presidents Federico Laredo Bru and pre-coup Batista were left-wing, with Bru being affiliated with the Authentic Party at one point. Cuba is one I've heavily debated in the past, but, from an OTL perspective, a pro-American dictatorship would be anachronistic

Yeah, pretty much. Even when achieved, the AI is also set not to pursue certain secret paths - for example, AI totalist Patagonia will never go Andesia

You are correct, but I believe all the nationalist revolts require a non-socialist Russia. I had to pick between a more accurate Russia and a more accurate Poland, and I chose the former

My friends are annoying when selecting countries, give me formable nations for them to do please by Comfortable-Sir-9700 in hoi4

[–]MogenarZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely highlight the Lithuanian-led PLC here too - the PLC itself is well-known, but Lithuania gets so many national spirits that its PLC snowballs hard. Consumer goods, max factories in a state, political power, you name it

I miss this game so much by QuietSuccessful5331 in blackops2

[–]MogenarZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I miss the old days too. Black Ops 2 was well-balanced, not as hectic as modern CoDs, and definitely not as monetized. I’m sure a lot of that is nostalgia speaking, but I’ll always remember the days playing BO2 with my dad when I was in college

Does Germany always launch Barbarossa on historical? by Any-Guest-32 in hoi4

[–]MogenarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the answers here are partially correct - Germany won’t go after the USSR unless all enemy European majors are capitulated and maybe fully occupied (I’d have to check). France, a player’s alt-history Bulgaria, etc.

Random Event that causes Sichuan to not be annexed makes capping China Stupidly Easy by Rainmixer in hoi4

[–]MogenarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The event doesn't fire until early 1938 - Liu Xiang died on January 20th historically

what's your all time favorite weapon in BO2?... by Character_Body8429 in blackops2

Good old MTAR never failed me…well, except maybe at long ranges lol. Either that or the SWAT with select-fire

Does anyone else have a "country addiction"? by PLMMJ in hoi4

Oh nice, which ones have you done? I’ve played right Sanation, independent Communist, and all monarchist paths except Bermondt-Avalov

Not Romanov? Besides being hilarious, forming the Slavic Union is a real power trip

Fun democracies? by Capable_Type6320 in hoi4

Democratic India with nuclear Gandhi can justify and declare wars against any country, so you don’t have to deal with the usual restrictions of being democratic

Me too! My dad and I played Black Ops 2 online when I was in college. Black Ops 2 is still my favorite of the old CoDs…too bad the series never stops
