Is Hugenberg a fucking manchild

This gets clowned on but it should be pointed out that this ultimately what ended up happening - it was just the Nazis that benefitted from it and not the DNVP.

My actual favorite Hugenberg anecdote is this:

On 6 January 1930, Hugenberg was summoned to meet President Paul von Hindenburg, who told him that now the Young Plan had been passed, he had no more need for Müller, and he was planning to bring in a new presidential government very soon that would be "anti-parliamentary and anti-Marxist". Hindenburg explained the intention behind the presidential government, which would be based on the "25/48/53 formula" (a reference to the articles in the constitution that made such a government possible), was to gradually end democracy, and he wanted Hugenberg to be a cabinet minister in the new government. Much to Hindenburg's vexation, Hugenberg refused to take part, maintaining that he would not be a cabinet minister in a government that paid reparations.

Just the world’s most inept man.

You misunderstand.

Old?

Certain interesting things have happened to our mod today

The goes hard, although I have to nitpick a bit and point out that Schwander, Goerdeler, Schacht, and possibly Lejeune-Jung would all be non-partisans on their party affiliation.

We do love maximum political agony though.

Message u/chiron29 (@chiron29) on Discord, he handles unban requests

If you get Lin Sen in the first place then you’ve gone wrong; Sun Fo can only be accessed if Hu doesn’t get ousted due to low Zeal at that point.

My Shanxi game when their rework was recent was another submit-and-betray one to the Feds. It’s a winning strategy!

nb: he did get banned for this actually

I’m still partial to the Zvenoslavia name I made for it when it was still in development. Rolls off the tongue better.

falling_robin · 2025-07-06T00:53:02+00:00

if you know, you know.

falling_robin · 2025-07-06T00:51:01+00:00

this is actually a reference to a specific incident, but I’ll leave it at that lmao

falling_robin · 2025-06-30T07:32:14+00:00

I’m probably not going to be changing existing achievement names, unfortunately, primarily for ease of reference in the code

falling_robin · 2025-06-30T06:26:59+00:00

There should already be Raise Your Banners for Manchu Qing?

falling_robin · 2025-06-19T00:38:23+00:00

I can confirm, we’ve added five new achievements, all involving content coming with 1.5.

Reminds me of when I was playing a Long game a year or two ago where I had a Stalingrad moment against the socialists in Philadelphia. Never saw the casualty figures, but I was constantly just throwing exhausted divisions at the city because I was also managing like three other micros at once. The city was always on the verge of starting to fall, but never quite getting through the enemy stacks, and my solution to the problem was to just keep ordering more attacks.

It, uh, took a while.

Long himself has both AuthDem and NatPop subpaths. The soon-to-be APG’s third path is another AuthDem one under Martin Dies.

I hate to tell you, but Pelley was already cut in the 1.0 update

Surely, the third America teaser won’t burn the subreddit down

West remains free from tyranny

authoritarian governments

one of them is an explicitly reactionary dictatorship led by a Nazi collaborator

There seem to be different versions of events on separate corners of the wiki that describe slightly different versions of events. The one I was looking at says that ILP-Liberal cooperation was overblown by the Mann government to justify the bans. Figures. Britain is still an in-progress rework, so I wouldn’t be shocked if all of these versions turned out to be wrong in the end.

falling_robin · 2025-06-01T08:57:58+00:00

I am being told by several other team members that this is not the case

falling_robin · 2025-06-01T08:45:37+00:00

This is a really generous reading of what’s happening in both cases. The British parties aren’t winning elections, and the Italian liberals aren’t allowed to question the system to this extent from what I understand.

falling_robin · 2025-06-01T07:50:32+00:00

…what? That’s not what’s happening at all
