When I go evil, I kinda cheat for my concius, for example when I play American Caesr I go into to both the AUS and CSA using the command counsel and make them more evil than me.
Fools, all of you will bow to your rightful Tsar. DMITRI!Oh nice, I didn't know Tsar Wrangel was still an option.
Goering Mittelafrika is easier to handle... if it is early-game Goering Mittelafrika, and you're still waiting for the chance to make that bastard pay at least by losing his governorship.Regarding evil plays, I generally don't like playing the bad guys. I played Mongolia a couple times and Tianguo a couple times, but Totalist India is about as bad as I can get on the regular. I tried playing Goering Mittelafrika, but after I started getting events about nasty stuff I quit.
Speaking of Tianguo, it is German sponsored in the rework. Their elimination of banditry in the area next to the German concession and other good governance endeared them to Germany. I hope they're still a viable path after rework, though, because I'm fascinated with non-Qing monarchism in China.

Whats centroafrika?I miss the Centroafrika options...
Mittelafrika had an option to go Syndicalist. The option also renamed Mittelafrika Centroafrika.Whats centroafrika?
With so many cool options that don't involve murder and totalitarianism, why pick murder and totalitarianism?
Why doesn't Canada invade the CSA when it declares war against the US? I mean, before the civil war begins, Canada sends a message to Hoover, basically saying 'Keep your people in check or else' and after the war begins, they take Alaska and New England and then they just stop. I think it would make sense for Canada to invade the CSA to at least keep the fighting from spilling into Canada.
(Plus, it would make taking out the CSA less of a pain for those playing Huey Long)
Because even with a rather competent army, a good cadre of generals and superior tech, it has neither the manpower, will or need to invade the CSA, which aside from putting it on even worse terms with the other factions could well be its doom as it loses all its troops that could otherwise be used reclaiming the homeland. The only reason it seizes New England and Alaska is because it can get away with it and has a degree of local support, the CSA would crush the canadians under their boots the moment they turn around.
I think the biggest problem is that Syndicalism and Totalism aren't enemies. I'd love to see the Totalist 3I beat Europe, only for the RadSoc CSA to ride in on their horses, liberating Niclas Y Glais' Welsh Commune and freeing Britain from Mosley's yoke.

Oh good lord, this. Usually by the time I rebuild my military into "not a ramshackle collection of militias," France and the UoB have already gone under to the Germans/Entente, and there's no 3I to join.I would like if it were possible for the CSA to form its own faction of syndicalism with their focus being on the Americas instead of linking up with the 3I. That would be an interesting possible change of pace.
I wrote in past tense for a reason, yes.

I do have to admit, though, my favorite CSA game was when this happened, and it was me as the last bastion of democratic syndicalism fighting a massive naval war across four continents against a dying collection of empires - while Germany,having conquered Western Europe, engaged in an apocalyptic war with Savinkov's Russia.Or they've already ROFLstomped them and all you have left to do is clean up in Canada and hang out.
Though on that train of thought it'd be nice for there to be a way that pushes back the start of the 2nd Weltkrieg to late 1939-1940 instead of the 1938-1939 range it currently very consistently fires in. The early start pretty much guarantees the 3I will either win so quickly the rest of the game is a slow cleanup or get their clocks cleaned and you're stuck up against the Entente alone with a military that's only just starting to move beyond underequipped infantry divisions and a token fleet.
Canada doesn't join at the start of the Second American Civil War, but it gets the possibility to join at a later point in its focus tree: it even gets to choose between supporting the Federal Government or the AUS. I think they also get the possibility to support the PSA but I'm less sure about that...Why doesn't Canada invade the CSA when it declares war against the US?

Huh, just like my canon on the photos thread. Who won between Germany and Russia?I do have to admit, though, my favorite CSA game was when this happened, and it was me as the last bastion of democratic syndicalism fighting a massive naval war across four continents against a dying collection of empires - while Germany,having conquered Western Europe, engaged in an apocalyptic war with Savinkov's Russia.
