111. Yemen - Fascist + Afghanistan - Fascist + Algeria - Neutral/Monarchist
I have a new idea.
There's this recent mod called "Red Banners" which overhauls Yemen with a huge focus tree (250+ focuses), a multitude of events, decisions and characters, and four pathways to choose from.
Do you think you could do a run of Yemen with this mod, choose the Islamist (fascist) path, and conquer all of Europe under the red banner?
How about Kaiserreich as Afghanistan?
Here's a middle-east package of runs. I still don't plan on doing Kaiserreich any time soon, but I approximated based on the goals provided.
First up:
Yemen forming Arabia
I was trying Camel cavalry for the first time and their performance was pretty disappointing, which cost me a lot of time conquering the arabian peninsula where I had to put down all of my own supply networks with little industry.
Unfortunately, this meant I couldn't conquer Europe because by the time I was finished with the Arabian pensinsula, Europe was united by a Franco-American alliance that swept in and conquered German-dominated central/eastern Europe once they had overcommitted to their invasion of the Soviets.
At least the British decolonization meant I didn't have to end up in a forever war against the Atlantic powers, instead just sniping each country as they became independent.
At the end, I managed to snag French Syria in a quick civil war where French fascists tried to destabilize Europe.
Second: Afghanistan forming the Persian Empire
This one went much more smoothly, I was able to conquer Iran and Iraq without trouble. Once the Soviets were on the ropes thanks to a British-German alliance, Afghanistan moves in to liberate the muslim quarter. Then the British-German alliance breaks up and they turn on each other in time for Japan to go to war with the WAllies.
Since Germany is able to hold the Allies in Europe, and Japan in Asia, Persia is able to sweep through the colonies and also an unfortunate Turkey. The Empire is successfully restored!
Finally: my own run for fun. Initially I was waiting for the Vicky3 to Hoi4 converter to come out so I could do a full Algeria campaign, but I got tired of waiting. Vicky 3 Algeria will come eventually but this is what I have for now: A Western Caliphate restoration.
I started with a full-decolonization and balkanization preset. After exploiting the power vacuum of decolonization to unite various muslim lands and reconquer Al-Andalus, Algeria sets its sights on taking over more of Europe than even the Ottomans managed. This was facilitated by a Soviet Civil War, where Algeria managed to secure southern russia, and from there springboarded into an invasion of Germany, due to being allies with the winning faction of Russia and France that both ended up at war with Germany when it tried to reconquer African colonies!
Also Chinese Peru happened when Latin American fascists joined the fascist Manchukuo which lost the war.
