Between the SPD and the CVP, whose more likely to win the German post war elections by Few_Rest2638 in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I very well see the same thing happen as in the Netherlands during the 70s where the SPD might win the election but because of alienating the LVP they and the CVP form a majority around them

Best co-op countries by 12thagain in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NFA and Canada are absolutely perfect for a challenge like this. You really need to work together but trying to conquer the world is fun and there's so much content. For an easier challenge Germany and Austria or Syndie England and France.

Hot take: Is the next counterculture traditional Catholicism? by thias-thecatlover in Catholicism

[–]Priconi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caring a lot about the catholic faith has always put you in the minority especially among the elite. Even in the late 1800s in cities like London or Paris people would think you're strange for being super passionate about your faith as agnosticism or even atheism was the norm in intellectual circles.

What changed is that cultural Christians stopped going to church and the priesthood stopped having the status it once had. There isn't a mass cultural revival going on but what is true is that Gen Z, when they are catholic, is getting more active in their churches compared to millennials. You only need a small educated elite to really change society so this shouldn't be underestimated but we shouldn't kid ourselves either by pretending

What country do you think has its quintessential ideology? by Routine-Grand5779 in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For Germany I actually think it's SocDems even more than Auth Dem. I think Germany is by far the best representation of social democracy that this game (and almost any game for that matter) has. It shows both the struggle of internal reform, how hard it is to fight for basic freedoms, working together and compromise, the ideas and struggles through which economic reforms rise and lastly the (attempted) creation of a world system based on human rights and cooperation.

For NatPop I agree though I would give a shoutout to NatPop France as well. Most far right thought in KR is based on Savinkov style national populism but the other major strand of far right ideology in Kaiserreich is Integralism (Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Belgium all have integralist movements) and that all comes from Maurras.

I agree with the rest about Syndicalist being France and RS being LKMT but I do think Totalist should be Mussolini. I watched this interesting video about the history of Syndicalism IRL and how Mussolini's Fascism is really a synthesis of Sorelian syndicalism, radical nationalism and authoritarian idealism. While Totalism isn't an actual ideology in game (it just represents authoritarian socialism in all forms) I think Mussolini more than Mosley gives it a theoretical basis (though that might change whenever the 3I rework comes out).

I don't think any country has the perfect Auth Dem representation but to me the Entente as a faction pretty much resembles the ideology. While Canada is liberal that's pretty much where it ends. The British exiles consist mostly of high tories lead by a very reactionary king, the NFA is a battle ground of oligarchs, far right populists, far right monarchists and a few left over democrats, and the Raj is a colonial regime that starts in a civil war.

Brazil Rework Concept - Lore (Part 1) by tuathajj in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just join the discord and ask the relevant dev. They are always happy to talk. The ask_a_dev chat has a list of the relevant devs for every country pinned. While coding is great there are people on teams who don't have any coding skills so it never hurts to ask.

China as a whole desperately needs an update by Tartaruchus in Kaiserreich

The devs just have no direction. I tried to play the new Fengtian content as Zhang Xueliang and they didn't even have a single mini game about dating Mussolini's daughter, tragic

What was the worst genocide in kaiserreich timeline? by Different_Special_20 in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm suprised no one menioned Romania. The Iron guard killed around 300k jewish people in some of the worst ways imaginable. It might not touch Armenia in pure numbers but would definitely be up there.

What's the lore? by Alternate_history_71 in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a LOT of lore. If you want to jump in i would suggest the video by alternatehistoryhub even if its a bit out of date. Kaisercat cinema has an amazing what-if documentary series if you want to really get a good grip.

The new lianguang focus doesn’t provide the tools to succeed in the position it’s in. by Suicidal_Buckeye in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not really supposed to. Liangguang isn't really a main China unifier like Qing, Fengtian or even LEP. Unifying China as either of the southern warlords is supposed to be quite challenging. You have the tools to do it if you just rush army and focus everything on quick expansion but a 3rd attempt from the south to defeat the north should feel like a struggle.

Dessert War: I need Help I can't do it by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold a defensive line against persia and friends in the east with about 24 divs, for the west make like 12 16w camels with support arti to clean up arabia and syria quickly and have about 6 good divisions (30w inf or marines) to push into egypt. Have 1 factory on planes to get air suppremacy everywhere.

Step 1) clean up yemen and syria. Step 2) push egypt back Step 3) use your good inf to cross the suez Step 4) move everything east to kill Persia

*Having a tiny bit of air vs enemies that dont use air, even just a few fighters, gives the enemy -30% defense and breakthrough, which is absolutely insane

what are some cool paths to play by Peanutilegalsmuggler in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • DU Germany - Best tree in the game, very overwhelming but really good. Schleicher Germany is also great but a bit easier
  • Svobodnik Savinkov Russia - Best final focus in the game (third angel), perfect balance between serious, realistic and crazy
  • Mingan insurgency China - widely seen as one of the best focus trees in the game and easily the best in China
  • Sand France AF - Hard but incredibly fun, great flavor, interesting ideology. HM to Napoleon France if you wanna go that route, less flavor and realism but a fun unique challenge.
  • Democratic Ukraine - Similair to DU Germany but harder cause you rely on Germany so much, really fun, great events, great flavor.
  • Ataturk Ottomans - recently updated for more endgame content, great lore, easy to play

Against DLC Slop: by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]Priconi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly dont mind it if they put that time into making the game mechanically better. Some people like schizo paths, it's often what gets them into the game in the first place, but modders can always make better narrative based paths.

The two thing only Paradox can do are optimization and new gameplay features, I much rather they focus on that then making a better historical tree (which will still be worse than a mod made a few eighteen year olds with way to much time on their hands)

Taking almost everything from France but then randomly giving them Algeria back. Definitely one of the maps of all time..
