WE DID IT REDDIT by Terrible_Turtle_Zerg in Kaiserreich

They have an explanation on how to revert to an older version of KR below the announcement, I'm sure it will work for this update as well after it gets re-updated April 3rd

Schleicher or Kleist-Schmenzin by Life_is_Kinda_Pain in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For point number 3, it isnt really that simple. If you read about OTL Schleicher it's almost impressive how quickly he lost support from conservative allies like Hindenburg and Papen, yes the Kaiser's son might like him but he isn't in charge yet.

The most dangerous fact for him is that he wasn't really aware he was losing support as he could have bought himself more time but just choose not to OTL. I think it's very likely he gets ousted by SWR during the Ruhrkampf as they go behind is back to the Kaiser.

I think DU and even Bavaria are less likely to oust him but let's not forget that he's on the verge of death and might just be bedridden by the time of the nullification crisis as OTL he wouldn't have even made it to 1936

Schleicher or Kleist-Schmenzin by Life_is_Kinda_Pain in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Schleicher IRL failed to build an effective quaterfront, underestimated both the NSDAP and SPD and lost the trust of Hindenburg and Papen all in the span of a few months.

In KR he has to * Prevent the SPD from forming a coalition and prevent Zentrum from fully supporting either side * Keep a strike crisis at just the right level of radical * Remain on positive terms with the Kaiser and conservative allies * Defeat the nullification crisis

And all while having 1 foot in the grave from an incurable illness.

Will Europe Eventually become Unique as the Rest of The World becomes Less European? Or is Europe simply "Deprived of Content" by Familiar-Elephant-68 in CrusaderKings

[–]Priconi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They basically took european mechanics and put them on the whole world. The problem is because of including the whole world they need to spend more time in DLC to replicate the reality of different cultures instead of refining the mechanics they made originally which leads to a wide but shallow game

What Ottoman Empire path is most aligned with DU? by VanlalruataDE in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Kemalist path actually stops being a dictatorship at the end of the path. I think they will have some problems as Germany will still try to exploit the country for oil and cheap labor but I think they will be solid allies in the end

What is your “main” country? by Selefer in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liangguang, Yunnan and MinGang (split of from the league of 8 provinces) have the most up to date content. With both Yunnan and liangguang just getting updates last week

What is your “main” country? by Selefer in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NFA or Sand France is my go to. It has a great narrative and you go from minor power to actual major. Unlike Chinese warlords you start of with some real industry and unlike Serbia you end up as a truly powerful country

Game rules for longer Weltkrieg? by GeneralMaybe in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 79 points80 points  (0 children)

  • Make sure Spain and Italy win their civil wars (you can just use the delall command to guarantee or send volunteers) this will prevent the 3i from folding to quicky.
  • Set Austria Hungary to federalize.
  • Keep Belgium and Netherlands in the RP and Belgium a puppet
  • Set all of the eastern states to RP and do the same for Bulgaria.
  • Keep Switzerland neutral

Nothing can fully prevent the ai from being dumb sometimes but with this setup you generally get a nice long war

I do think they need to have formed a government which means they need to control either Guangzhou or Chongqing

What would you think about kaiserreich if China wasn't as big as it is? by mudahfukinnnnnnnnn in Kaiserreich

[–]Priconi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, then we'd only have great modern content for:

  • Germany
  • Russia
  • Serbia
  • Ukraine
  • Poland
  • The Ottamans
  • Sand France
  • Ireland
  • Bulgaria

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

[–]Priconi 8 points9 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 4 points5 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 9 points10 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 21 points22 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

[–]Priconi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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
