Is the Kaiserreich mod realistic?

[AvatarOfKhaine]

My recent problems with KR, is the current helpers largely deciding that the memes and unrealistic aspects they dislike must be removed while allowing plenty of stupid memes that the current team like to stand.

I'll also be honest in saying that KRDH is really fun partially because not everywhere has stuff going on. The current modus operandi seems to be that every nation should have things to "do" but the fact of the matter is that I enoyed the fact that some parts of the world were relatively stable compared to the new version in KR4 and managed to be in a place where they and their citizens had peace.

Though it's hilariously unrealistic in a lot of ways, the Hearts of Iron IV team has been taking steps to try and take steps towards reality with some of the nations. Their recent diary shows changes to central America, and the blessed future of breaking up the space-filling Central American states.

Has anyone mentioned that Germany owns like half of China yet?

Yes, and it sucks. No focus tree, so the nation is literally unplayable as a puppet. Also, apparently it's a corporation, which raises even more interesting questions.

Another thing about the Kaiserreich US, I recall something about how the First Red Scare never happens because the Bolsheviks were defeated in the Russian Civil War or something.

Yet every damn country seems to be on the verge of turning syndicalist, including France and Britain and that doesn't cause a red scare?

That's going to be heavily revised, IIRC. The AOG is going to be relegated to a few coastal cities, with the interior reorganised as puppets.

On it I have seen Nazi Germany go communist with Adolf Hitler as its leader.

What.

Are you referring to the base game? Because that cannot happen - Wilhelm Pieck is the leader of Communist Germany if I recall correctly.

League of Eight Provinces or something I believe, with something about that breaking up by 1938 into 3(?) cliques upon the death of their leading strongman.

I saw that in their own forums somewhere.

Logically speaking, they should only have the Entente's share of the concessions and Qingdao back, at best. But Kaiserreich isn't shackled by reality as strictly as AH.com.

But there's everyone's "favourite", the German Intervention in China to explain the other AoG provinces and where their zone of influence comes from.

Everyone knows KR's China is still weird and that even though I love the Qing that they could have been way better integrated than the current mess.

The nice thing about alternate history is that it doesn't have to be 100% realistic. A good Alternate History universe has to have reasonable PoDs and results, but then also take that off and tell a story. That may involve a few butterflies here and there. The Kaiserreich universe does this well. It may not be the exact way the world would go following a late war CP victory, but it sure as hell isn't impossible. This is just my educated opinion.

Well to add something new, the recent america update makes it so that if you pick Pelley as leader of the AUS, his nutjob ideas lead to disaster.

Really? What happens? I've yet to see what the new things are.

No.

As far as I'm aware, First Red Scare occurred because the United States actually funded the White Army and socialist movements generally opposed the war effort. For example, a lot of discrimination against socialists was things like forcing them to buy war bonds. Simply put, American involvement in World War One was an extremely big factor when it came to the start of the First Red Scare. Furthermore, I think it's also fair to say that the United States in Kaiserreich does in fact have an anti-socialist mivement in the form of the America First Party, it's just not backed by the government and there's a strong socialist movement to counter it.

Thank you. I was quite annoyed when I saw that post. Especially since it was the first response I received.

IMO it's not actually realistic but it has the right "feel". It feels like something that a pulp writer in the 20s or 30s could have written. And for a video game that's more important than pure plausibility IMO.

Agreed. And while it isn't super plausible, it isn't ASB imo. It has a video game feel to it, yet still resides within the realm of somewhat plausibility.

In this new update, if you select to let MacArthur keep power after the civil war, is that permanent or do you eventually get a choice for him to step down?

He can eventually be assassinated.
