Has anyone thought about what a realistic(ish) Kaiserreich could be, while still maintaining most of the original key elements?
I would think :
- British Revolution either doesn't happen or occurs as a more general pushback against the conservative monarchy, and it establishes a SocDem Republic with Liberals still being a major force.
- Russia by 1936 is either under a reactionary White figure's control, or Savinkov's faction is about to seize power. This makes Russia into more of France's right-wing mirror.
- Entente is either fully fascist or highly reactionary. Russia should almost always join the Entente, making the faction into more than the Reichspakt's lapdog.
- American Civil War is less of a three-way war, but more of a two-way war. In that Long and the Syndicalists realistically should form a kind of United Front at the start of the war to oppose the Federalists, who would in turn gain assistance from Canada and the Entente. With opposition to the current regime centralized under a single banner, a Civil War is in turn more likely. Additionally, it opens up new options for post-civil war content, as either the Longist faction or the Syndicalist faction can gain influence/power over each other.
- Not only should Germany go through Black Monday, but if it mismanages the crisis too much, Mitteleuropan puppet countries will rise up against the Reich.
- Mussolini doesn't become a socialist again (he left the socialist movement before the KR POD)
- Thus, Totalism isn't a major thing on the Left, being replaced more by general authoritarian socialism.
That's pretty much what I want to do in the Timeline I want to try and make except that the Entente goes Liberal, the French Commune is still around [reason being I think they're too interesting to butterfly away] and, if you've read the bits I posted on here already, you might have noted the presence of a certain Austrian Fascist with a stupid moustache.
Then again I have been toying with the idea of having the Personal Computer being invented shortly after the First Weltkrieg, and Britain annexing Hawai'i instead of the United States, so maybe not completely realistic.
They are actually still working on Cold War The Iron Curtain; I found an a “Dev version“ somewhere on Steam Workshop and have been playing it. They’ve reworked a fair amount of stuff, although most countries still “only” have for the 1950s.
I‘m confused as to why people are struggling, because Kaiserreich is working fine on my computer.
That's good news about The Iron Curtain, and I noticed that Millenium Dawn is back as well, but with all the changes made to that Mod [and the 1989 Submod no longer works] I've felt less inclined to go onto that one.
