Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

You guys ever play American Totalists? The Managerial guy in that is really messed up, kidnaps Foster I think and tortures him into confessing to a massive conspiracy that allows for him to enact purges on thousands if not more. Not as bad as child labor on state run farms or legalized suicide but still...shudders

He is worse than both foster and browder, I have played some really bad routes on many mods, but Burnham route in American totalists was the very first time on my life I really paused the game and tough "What the hell I'm doing?" . For example he enacts some plans similar to the Nazi general plan ost to core Canada and Mexico. He also blackmails foster and browder to help him, foster refuses and can be killed or jailed for life, while browder as a crook defects to Burnham side.

He's one of the first well designed and portrayed dictators in hoi4. I get why they don't but I wish Kaiserreich could be that gritty more often.
 
Yup. That was my point. Kaiserreich even for its darker paths can be very idealistic. It should delve into darker themes more often instead of sort of hinting at and pussy-footing around them.

That is because Kaiserreich tries to be a very realistic mod, that is why they are changing the eastern european lore for example. American totalists is beyond the appliable level of dystopia because as soon Burnham tried to annul the power of the congress his own allies would remove him from power. Dystopia Is Hard.
 
Same with the Ride the Tiger submod (same guy made both I think) where you turn into a Pan-European Nova Roman Empire from the Two Sicilies. You reintroduce concubines, put women back in the kitchen and basically turn the Kingdom into an Army with a state a la Prussia. At the end you
unite Europe into a militarist, misogynist superstate with a grudge against democracy and syndicalism both
. Its bonkers. He is making more mods for other majors to, I think next is America or the UK.
 
I think that Paradox has rules about what can be in HOI4 mods, because they don't want to let neo-Nazis get high on fantasies of being Hitler and wiping out Judaism. That said, it's heavily implied that the Vozhd kills a lot of people on purpose, that the Sorellians are outright Commie Nazis, and ol' Hermann is running a cartoonishly evil regime in Africa, at a minimum, in KR. It's kind of a messy world just like OTL with plenty of bastards.

At least the Integralists are anti-racist and abhor genocide, even though they're also totalitarian, anti-democratic, and fanatically anti-socialist. Those dudes are...surprisingly chill fascists.

They are not totalitarian tough, they are authoritarian. Vargas new state is more closed than integralist Brazil for example since Vargas ban all parties and political associations and end elections for good (as he did OTL), while it is implied that the integralists just ban the left wing parties.

Fair. And it shouldn't work for every country. Some absolutely should be fail paths. But Stalin and Hitler did happen and some countries should be able to pull off that kind of thing.

This is coming for Yunnan, the local warlord can try to be crowned as the chinese emperor but as soon he does that he gets couped.

There was a very "funny" case close to that OTL, with the reactionary ultracatholic argentinian dictator Ongania, he declared that he wanted to rule for twenty years and was couped soon after.

Fair enough. Either way, they're not very good dudes but at least not crazy racists.

No discussion here.

Surprisingly most of the brazilian paths are not really that bad, the radsocs fight the famine, the syndicalists promote equality, Vargas modernize the nation, the integralists fight racism (alltough on some events make evident that they are apointing afrobrazilians to certain positions of power to make people who criticieze them be arrested for "racism"), the social liberals want profit but also protect freedom of speech and freedom of trade, the conservatives are oligarchic but also take measures to promote culture and education, the socdems promote worker's rights and modernize the country...

And then there is the most evil path of them all, the MARKET LIBERALS!
 
An-Cap Brazil wen?

The thing is, normally the natpops are the completely crazy ones and the patauts and autdems are nasty but at least not insane forms of colorless authoritarianism, but in Brazil the natpops are somewhat corrupt but have a genuinely sympathetic and noble goal of a nation by, for, and about all of its citizens regardless of race, while the other authoritarian is still just a bland asshole who wants power.

Don't get me wrong, the Inregralists are still bad dudes, but they have a genuinely fascinating angle and come off as much more interesting than the other large-country natpops like the Vozhd (who's a pretty simple "wants revenge for indignity done to Russia) and Pelley (who's entertainingly crazy but still pretty simple). KR Brazil's writing is really just straight-up fantastic in that regard.

Hell. I prefer some natpops to those two.

The O R G A N I C ones, to be sure. Probably the only NatPop routes I play where I don't feel like an utter bastard at the end of them.

Reminded me of how Enver Hoxha is literally an ancap in Red Flood, on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum as real life. But this looks arguably as cursed as Avant-Garde France in some respects.
