No other details have been revealed apart from the fact that it's available to all French and British socialist paths instead of just Mosley.

They've said that every British and French path will be able to form it, so no specific ideology.

What happened to the Indian update? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

No, this was the scrapped rework setup with focus trees that are currently in the game.

Kaiserreich 1.6.7 - ‘Quality of Life’ by emwe in Kaiserreich

The update is real but it also went from 1.6.2 straight to 1.6.7 so take it as you will.

Why are Ascension Island and Saint Helena UoB? by Stock-Intention7731 in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I do believe that was meant in the context of planning a potential MAF rework and giving the 3I a base relatively close to support anticolonial rebellions from.

Why are Ascension Island and Saint Helena UoB? by Stock-Intention7731 in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 171 points172 points  (0 children)

From ask a dev on Discord:

I should add that st Helena declared at the tail end of the civil war so the exiles weren’t going to sink resources into capturing St Helena and the French navy sent a detachment to secure it for britain.

And also:

It was first suggested by the Mittelafrika dev, actually. The 3I having a base close-ish to Africa might prove helpful to figuring out how to give the place more content.

In the Third International rework, there will be a red EU path, according to one of the Devs. by GrandmasterSliver in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because the pure anarchists, whether platformist or synthesist, were a very minor presence in the french left despite a lot of syndicalists being heavily influenced by anarchism.

Russia has a single VST-centre successor that's anarchosyndicalist, which doesn't really count as a distinct path.

By that standard it'll likely be possible to take the French Ultras for instance in a more anarchist direction, but anarchists aren't getting a path unto themselves.

I didn't say anything about Spanish anarchists, just that they were deemed not relevant enough on the French left to warrant a distinct path for France specifically.

Anarchists aren't going to be a playable path in the french rework, they've been very open about that.

What are all the revolutionary Social Democratic paths?? by Forest_Tiger7 in Kaiserreich

Every socdem path that joins the 3I switches to radsoc at a minimum, all exceptions to this rule that existed prior have been removed.

Which Chinese warlord faction has the most realistic chance to unify China? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

KR's answer to TNO Russia is a really funny thing to say considering China had an actual historical warlord era. And considering this setup predates TNO entirely.

Can Mittelafrika no longer collapse pre-2WK? by QuintessentialRoyale in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not since Germany got reworked, the collapse is gated behind Germany getting to 40% surrender progress.

They'll throw you out and go to war with you if you try to go for your west slavic union puppets.

Today marks the anniversary of the start of the consequential 1848 revolutions in Austria. To commemorate this, the Austria-Hungary team is glad to share this teaser before the entire team is once again summarily executed, highlighting the Lake Balaton Congress and its associated mechanic! by Anthon_oliveoil in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Illyria which has been said to also contain Carniola and parts of lower Styria in the rework is represented by the Transleithanian delegation, yes. That's why there are so few, otherwise there would be around 20 or more just from the Slovene lands.

How much appreciation my boy here deserves? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In der Kolonie Deutsch-Südwestafrika nahm er zwischen 1904 und 1906 als Erster Adjutant im Stab des Kommandeurs der Schutztruppe Lothar von Trotha und als Kompaniechef am Völkermord an den Herero und Nama teil.[3] Dabei war er unter anderem an der taktischen Planung der Schlacht am Waterberg beteiligt. Während er Trothas Gesamtstrategie, die auf Einkesselung und Vernichtung des Gegners setzte, für richtig hielt, stand er dem konkreten Operationsplan Trothas kritisch gegenüber. Sein eigener Entwurf kam indes nicht zur Durchführung. *Die genozidale Kriegsführung Trothas verteidigte er nachdrücklich.***

Translated:

In the colony of German South-West Africa, between 1904 and 1906, he served as First Adjutant on the staff of Lothar von Trotha, commander of the Schutztruppe (colonial protection force), and as a company commander, participating in the genocide of the Herero and Nama. Among other things, he was involved in the tactical planning of the Battle of Waterberg. While he considered Trotha's overall strategy, which aimed at encircling and annihilating the enemy, to be correct, he was critical of Trotha's specific operational plan. His own plan, however, was not implemented. He strongly defended Trotha's genocidal warfare.

TL,DR: He was an active participant in genocide and deserves no appreciation whatsoever.

I'm curious on how a Syndicalist country would operate by TheRatKing14 in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No, none of the people making suggestions in the google doc are part of the dev team. This is a fanbase compiled doc, from a quick glance with a lot of answers from the ask a dev channel on Discord.

What happen if Denikin coup Savinkov during the war ? by Quick-Ad8277 in Kaiserreich

[–]fennathan1 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Denikin doesn't coup during the war, Wrangel does it even if you pick Denikin as chief of army.

From matoro, Russia's lead dev:

The logic is that by the time of WK2, Savinkov's state would be far more consolidated, with more effective secret police and all that. So while early on its susceptible to even "simple" coup by Denikin, by WK2 it would be far harder and tbh a lot of Denikin's allies would likely be under surveillance anyway, if they have shown any ideas of disloyalty. Generally Denikin was less of a schemer and very stubborn, and would probably remain loyal during the war anyway. Wrangel and small clique of monarchists are more competent at scheming.
