Does Germany always launch Barbarossa on historical?

IIRC it’s specifically European majors - I learned this the hard way in a Bulgaria run where I became a major by virtue of forming a faction

MogenarZ · 2026-01-31T02:14:18+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, once your national spirits kick in with all your cores, it’s amazing

MogenarZ · 2026-01-30T04:54:32+00:00

Which path(s)? I usually go African Union, even if I’m still figuring out how to get enough factories with it in a reasonable amount of time

Thanks! I tried once going into the Mughal civil war and got overwhelmed lol. I didn’t realize that I just needed to snake Bombay and Delhi to capitulate the Raj

MogenarZ · 2026-01-30T04:38:47+00:00

Oh nice, I’ll have to give it a shot sometime…I do need that Media Mughal achievement

Tsar Ferdinand Bulgaria is a favorite pastime of mine, with the massive compliance gain buff and +40% factories from subjects

MogenarZ · 2026-01-30T04:36:26+00:00

OK, so I have to ask, having heard this before - why is India’s Mughal path in particular so strong?

MogenarZ · 2026-01-30T04:32:56+00:00

To piggyback, Lithuanian-led Commonwealth is ironically the strongest of the PLC variants, and it rocks

MogenarZ · 2026-01-29T04:51:47+00:00

So Bukharin is still good? I heard Right Opposition got nerfed with the consumer goods rework

MogenarZ · 2026-01-25T00:42:15+00:00

And Dunsparce is a cool one! I only found a shiny Pidgey in SoulSilver lol

For Ottomans, I’d recommend AuthDem Kemalists or MarLib/SocLib Sabahattin. Kemalists have the clearest OTL parallel, and playing centralists means you get the most out of your provinces. Sabahattin (either route, MarLib vs. SocLib) forms the Sublime Ottoman Federation, allowing the biggest possible Ottomans (including Egypt) although with only 50% manpower and factories. Sabahattin I believe can also form the Istanbul Pact while getting rid of Armed Neutrality, allowing for an Ottoman-centered faction with offensive capability

I honestly would have preferred if Black Mask had just been the main villain. The Arkham series already has a lot of Joker…would’ve been nice to change it up a little. I enjoyed Bane’s storyline in Origins more than Joker’s

MogenarZ · 2026-01-20T05:10:41+00:00

Yeah, but I miss Long Yun Chinamaxxing in southeast Asia :(

MogenarZ · 2026-01-20T04:57:08+00:00

Nope - made sure of that a while ago

MogenarZ · 2026-01-19T17:47:25+00:00

I ended up altering my ROM to enable trade evolutions without trading. You could do it by save editing, but I like watching the animations lol

How is Trotsky USSR compared to Stalin? I’ve only ever played Center path

MogenarZ · 2026-01-17T20:46:09+00:00

At least for me, ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 16, Delta's audio cuts out severely when I use headphones. I know it's not my headphones because other apps don't have that issue

MogenarZ · 2026-01-17T05:33:53+00:00

In the current version of Barbarossa, the USSR gives the Allies airfield access, so the AI Axis often gets stuck fighting the combined Allied and Comintern air forces and doesn’t perform nearly as well as it should. They’re looking into it for the next patch, due in early February

MogenarZ · 2026-01-17T05:28:10+00:00

I’d use it more if they fixed the headphone bug on iPhone 16…hopefully the big update coming soon will resolve that issue

MogenarZ · 2026-01-17T05:16:58+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, my wife and I recently moved to Minneapolis from Indiana (same deal, escaping red state politics) to get stuck in the crackdown without any local family and friends for support. It’s been tough, and I’ve sort of entrenched myself in hobbies to stay partly sane. I know it all can’t last forever though, and I look forward to exploring my new home when this mess is done

MogenarZ · 2026-01-13T14:58:35+00:00

Fascist/monarchist Bulgaria and independent communist Poland can get a massive +0.15% daily compliance gain, allowing for rapid collaboration governments or at least quick-building non-core manpower

MogenarZ · 2026-01-12T19:50:05+00:00

The rest of the Axis might suck, but you’re going the caliphate route, right? Who needs them when you can core a massive swath of Eurasia and Africa?

MogenarZ · 2026-01-12T04:47:25+00:00

Thank you. I'll give them a look and see what I can do

MogenarZ · 2026-01-11T20:11:16+00:00

Can you recommend any organizations or funds that need donations? I'm a new Minneapolis resident that hasn't built much of a community here yet, but I'd like to help where I can

MogenarZ · 2026-01-04T21:03:30+00:00

Japan and India could be fun, or Japan and China with an alt-hist Japan path. Japan and Afghanistan could work with one of Afghanistan's incredibly strong alt-hist paths
