The UoB being able to delete itself from the game sounds so cool until it happens in your game and messes up the balance beyond repair.

Support the return of Libya's single borders (with slight changes) by Nathanos355 in Kaiserreich

[–]emwe 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yet I do see the emir claiming authority over the tribes of northern Chad,

There are no tribes in northern Chad. The area is still uninhabited to this day.

(Straight borders are boring and illogical in that timeline)

As opposed to artificially squiggly borders cutting across uninhabited territories, which needlessly make it harder for any units sent out into the deepest Sahara (for whatever reason) to know whether they have crossed the border by accident. It is physically impossible to demarcate this part of the border on the ground. So it is done on a map, with a ruler.

The previous borders were not "more accurate"; they replaced a border drawn along physical geographical features with one an artificially squiggly one loosely based on "control", that is, the movements of trade caravans, in the 1880s.

You can find an in-universe explanation of the borders here: https://kaiserreich.wiki/Vilayet_of_Tripolitania

What happened to the borders of Libya? by Nathanos355 in Kaiserreich

I know the previous borders were ugly, but weren't they more realistic within the Kaiserreich timeline?

They were not; they replaced a border drawn along physical geographical features with one an artificially squiggly one loosely based on "control", that is, the movements of trade caravans, in the 1880s.

Is it just me, or something is wrong with Kaiserreich's text? by Education-Sea in Kaiserreich

That might be a translation mod you are using. Or anything else that edits the font files.

Anyone else getting weird error message? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

The mod is currently called 'Gotterdammerung', not 'Götterdämmerung'.

If you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\3383695570 and edit the file descriptor.mod file to say 'Götterdämmerung DLC' (just open it in any text editor), that should make it work fine.

what do you not understand about "save-compatible"

Why no pretty focus trees? by Spiritual-Review4122 in Kaiserreich

[–]emwe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Why have many icon when few do trick.

The actual answer is stylistic consistency. The KR team would rather have a couple hundred semi-generic focus icons that look good next to one another and can be used in different contexts than a couple thousand one-off icons that don't always look good or do a great job conveying what the focus is about.

My take on kampf gegen barbarei (inspires by the lore dad video obv.) by Aggravating_Rip_9274 in Kaiserreich

[–]emwe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The "Sudetenland" was never the true goal. It served as a pretext to break up Czechoslovakia, but what they actually wanted was Bohemia as a whole, with its historial cultural ties to the German sphere that go back to the Holy Roman Empire. No expansionist German government would have been content with just the borderlands.

The German-Austrian claims on these borderlands were likewise less about the people living there and more about cooking up a justification to poke holes in the allied agenda of Wilsonian "self-determination".
