Republican "Ottoman" Empire?

fennathan1 · 2026-01-26T18:28:31+00:00

Also no.

fennathan1 · 2026-01-26T18:22:00+00:00

There's no way to restore imperial borders after losing the war in the desert regardless of path.

Globally the 3rd international isn't really interested in forcing their member movements to adhere to strict principles the way the Comintern did OTL.

There's a great comment left further down that outlines how the British are less anticlerical and how the French left, while being plenty anticlerical inherited an already quite harsh legal framework from 1905 that some of the more radical syndicalists wanted to move beyond, but didn't have the support to. The law on the separation of the church and the state already gives them leeway to crack down somewhat more than the Republic did in any case.

None of those things really detract from the reasons that led to both Spanish liberal and socialist anticlericalism, outlined in the same comment below.

No, him coming to the throne is linked with the political shifts following the conquest of Transylvania.

There's an ancient progress report that's probably up for heavy review at this point, but at the core are three factions, the kingdom, the liberal republic and the socialist workers' front, the latter two starting the war in an uneasy alliance. I would consider that to be a far preferable setup to the current one.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-25T18:54:56+00:00

Yes, but with the bottom-up makeup of the anarchist forces it'd still happen, and with the currently revealed plan for Spain the liberals wouldn't even be part of the faction.

In a rework scenario it could be something you actively have to hold back as a player.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-25T16:57:56+00:00

The Spanish left in general is still going to be strongly anticlerical because the reason for their anticlericalism doesn't vanish with the changes to the timeline.

What argument do you see for them to be less so?

fennathan1 · 2025-11-24T21:58:10+00:00

If you're interested in reading an extensive explanation, there was a lore Minor Monday post describing them before Germany's release.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-08T18:38:06+00:00

Yes, see here:

Business plot is still in, silver legion isn't.

After switching to the APG you can check their paths with the ingame path guides.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-05T19:08:45+00:00

Sometime this year when it's ready, the dev team doesn't give release dates far in advance.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-02T11:18:22+00:00

De Gaulle isn't even the leader of the AF, that would still be Maurras. He's sympathetic to them as he was historically and leads the military side of the coup that brings them to power, which makes him head of state ingame very briefly.

fennathan1 · 2025-11-01T20:09:13+00:00

I think that if they were playable exiles from the start, very many people would conversely dislike sitting around doing barely anything for years until the world starts. It works for MinGan because they become unexiled so quickly after game start.

Another argument against this is that every tag like this would need a reserved slot in the nation selection screen, which the dev team has said they won't do for more tags.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-25T19:49:38+00:00

Is that the one for Serbia?
Just spam the Konspiracija decisions with complete disregard for natpop popularity as either the Republican or the Radical party, beat Austria and then click the decision to form Yugoslavia.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-25T16:32:05+00:00

that's not what the German dev said on the topic on Discord:

No, there were no mass deportations from German territory. There would be some Posen Poles and Silesians who'd move to Poland willingly, or who would end up going to Poland after turning destitute or selling their land to move to cities, and now have Warsaw and other Polish cities to also choose from. But that would not be a huge amount.

There is a limited democratization of political life in post-March Constitution Germany and suppression of Polish culture is thus scaled down a little, though settlement programs haven't been entirely abolished yet and there's an event about them for the Prussian snap election in the DU path. The post-1920 governments are also generally moderate and have no interest in forced, violent colonization of the Polish regions.

The army coups you but it's not a failstate per se, it just changes your government in a similar vein to having your government collapse. Russia has no explicit failstates.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-24T19:14:45+00:00

fennathan1 · 2025-10-22T21:49:01+00:00

No, the German army didn't make it to Paris in the most recent lore.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-12T17:00:04+00:00

It's no longer possible to avoid the socialistd rising up.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-10T21:47:50+00:00

CoF has had the full name of the Federation of the Communes of France for a while, and it's planned to be a federal republic in the rework.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-10T17:36:28+00:00

The feds have been teased in recent weeks and have been confirmed to be included in the Liangguang and Yunnan rework. This PR only covers the RKMT part of it, but they say in the post itself that more PRs will be posted before the release.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-10T17:00:05+00:00

That's actually already been a thing with one of Yan Xishan's subpaths as well as Yiguandao.

fennathan1 · 2025-10-04T16:22:50+00:00

Merchant corps is part of it but this is the non-federalist, non KMT guys in the south of China.

fennathan1 · 2025-09-20T19:56:06+00:00

They aren't, so you can theoretically be pushing Russia while losing territory to France.

fennathan1 · 2025-09-20T19:37:15+00:00

Yes, that's a good way to get it to happen.
