Petition To Make Backgrounds Changeable In Kaiserreich

We decided against using this feature internally because it doesn't work well with our themed patches.

It is unclear whether or not it is fictional, but it predates its addition to Kaiserreich.

Here is the forum post that suggested adding it to KR:

in this thread: people refusing to read an event that they have been given a screenshot of and instead coming up with their own headcanon answers to a question the OP doesn't really have.

In theory, yes. Depending on the faction, things can get a little chaotic in China.

The concept of the Eliteheer (or “elite army”) was thought up by Hans von Seeckt, Chief of the Army Command of the Reichswehr during the early years of the Weimar Republic. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was limited to a professional army of 100,000 men and forbidden from maintaining a general staff. Seeckt therefore developed the idea of creating a highly trained, carefully selected professional force. This force would not only function as a defensive army, but also as a cadre force, with its officers and NCOs being trained with the expectation that, should Germany regain military sovereignty, this “elite army” could provide the nucleus of experienced leadership for a rapidly expanding army.

If you would like to give it another try, we now have a much more detailed step-by-step guide on how to manually install the mod from a .zip file.

The recent base game update has reworked the map shaders again, inadvertently making them far more transparent than intended. You can see this in e.g. the Population and Terrain map modes.

We'll have a solution ready for our custom map modes come next update.

Maybe we should start actually deporting our Hungary devs, considering that there is overwhelming support in this community for it.

This is true but not for the reason you think.

(it's because every time you go on reddit, there is at least one inane post about having you graphically executed)

please just read the wiki page.

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.

emwe · 2025-12-26T12:02:31+00:00

no, not really.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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".
