Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

At a guess? The lack of coordination behind the response suggests a lone wolf. If it was coordinated, then we'd have "Wrangels/Kornilov's/Dmitri's coup" or whatever, with the Senate/Soviets/Wrangel/Dmitri being able to respond in the event text or lose rather than just having an initial scramble for power where one or the other comes out on top.
Fair enough, but do you think whatever cause the assassin espoused was helped or hindered by murdering Kerensky?
 
It really depends on how you want to spin the narrative. More than likely it was just a malcontent who hated Kerensky. He could even be an SR like Kerensky for all we know.
 
Here's hoping Kalterkrieg dosen't have a Jordan B. Peterson or American conservative interpretation of all leftists and syndicalists as either hopelessly naive utopians or bloodthirsty murderers wanting to kill the next 100 million on their hit list, or that the totalism that was defeated is the inevitable end result of syndicalism. Also hoping that the natpops aren't seen as the lesser evil to the most totalitarian of the administrative marxists 99% of the time

If that happens, at least the leftist side of the fanbase will always have Krasnatcht to look forward to!

In Kaiserreich news, 0.8 has been delayed two weeks (so is now coming out "very soon+2 weeks" instead of "very soon"), and the West Indies Federation has been pushed to the next content update patch.

I hope that West Indies at least gets leaders so el generico would not pop up when puppeting them.
 
Meanwhile in Krasnatcht, Savinkov does his best Gihren Za-I mean Hitler impression....

Finally there's one mod that dosen't present Savinkov as a side player to a greater conflict or try to sugarcoat him in any way but instead portrays him and his ideology as a major threat to humanity

And from what I heard...one of his possible sucessors will be the Russian Nazi equivalent of Himmler.....:(:(:(
I really like the way Krasnacht portrays Savinkov and his ideology as a crazy war cult. It's just enough Nazi to be totally fucked up, and just unique enough to be interesting.

Literally cribbing Goebbels is, I think, a nice touch.

What scares the shit out of me is who Russian Heydrich and Russian Göring are. Especially since there's a good chance Beria's already dead.

My head canon has Anton Turkul as Russian Heydrich. His minister title is "efficient sociopath" which describes Heydrich to a T.

Edit: or maybe it was Vladimir von Manstein. One of those two.

@herkles
So this just came to mind and is something I feel we haven't addressed regarding the 0.8 update: Will the United States have more smaller victory points spread across the country and/or new airzones? While the VP's would really just add some flavor, the airzones in North America are just as bad as the ones in Asia and in South American before the rework and I feel are in desperate need for some revamping. I apologize if this was mentioned in a progress report, but I can't recall it being talked about.
 
Next Kalterkrieg progress report up

Is it me or is Carles death kinda like how Dozle died in the original Gundam(seeing off his wife and daughter before meeting his end fighting Amuro)? Through Carles is arguably more Gihrenish in his views since it's mentioned that Carles is an extreme antisemite in the original KR lore.

Granted through, you can argue that humanizing his final moments makes him more scarier as a person since he's a man that can display affection for his daughter but can turn around and kill off people by the thousands if not millions

That said, I'm hoping that Fonte isn't a doomed route or treated as some Pol Pot esque nutcase(through them really emphasizing the "anarchists are nuts" and having his politics screen be the personification of "EVERYONE I DON'T LIKE IS A LITERAL REACTIONARY" don't look too promising), and that Fanny(who was one of the nicer picks for Patagonia in KR) isn't fem!Stalin. Given that Kaiserreich has a chance for leftists to not be totalitarian hellscapes, and even here at least the leftist had some years before they became totalitarian hellscapes(the totalists only took power in 36 lore wise here), it would just be a disappointment if the mod turns into "another PragerU PSA", "another Breitbart alt-right article" or "another Jordan Peterson lecture" about the inherent evilness within the radical left. Of course it can be argued that people in Kalterkrieg may see the radical left as inherently leading to totalitarianism because the worst options happened for CoF, UOB and Italy, but it would be disappointing to the spirit of KR if there isn't options to prove them wrong.

UPDATE: Apparently Fonte was one of the nastier picks in KR already(he was a full on totalist), hopefully him being "retconned" into an radsoc "anarchist" isn't done to make some sort of PSA about the inherent evilness of the anarchist movement and how it leads to Maoism

.... Last time I checked the devs of Kalter Krieg aren't a bunch of arch-reactionary leftist hating guys there designing a mod that's based around the Syndicalists losing because that's what they want to do they don't hate leftists, I'm pretty sure they don't think all leftists want to kill a million people, and also this is want their summary of Chile which btw comes from that exact same report

" In the West, the torch of syndicalism has been snuffed out by reactionaries. Now, it is the New World that carries the standard of freedom, that must keep the flame of socialism alive until it can one day come to the liberation of the Old.

Where so many other syndicalist powers have fallen to the errors of Totalism, Chile has stood firm and remained true to it’s syndicalist beliefs. Today, decades after the revolution, it is a healthy Syndicalist Democracy with open elections. Its three main parties, the Syndicalists, the Christian Socialists, and Market Syndicalists. While all of these factions have their differences, all wish to preserve and protect the revolution, and to liberate the people of the world from the injustice that plagues it.

With their internal situation largely secure, the people of Chile must look outward. As they have one of the largest navies on the continent due to the influx of defecting ships from the collapse of the third internationale, they have set their eyes across the ocean. There talk about spreading the revolution far to the east and to the west. Meanwhile, the rightful government of Ecuador remains protected by Chile, awaiting and pushing for war to ensure the liberation of their homeland.

However, there are other enemies closer to home. The fourth internationale is far, far from stable alliance, and Chile might find itself as the only sane member left in the group..."

BTW this what the dev for Argentina on the KR sub said about Fonte

"In the OTL Alfredo "El Toscano" Fonte was a bandit who murdered raped and did all kind of crazy shit. So much so, that Soto, who lead the insurrection, actually parted ways with his ideals.

He was so bad, that he was actually "sold" by fellow workers, and handed over to the military.
"
 
Neat!

Also, speaking as a massive KR fan who's chomping at the bit for the new America bits, is the ETA on .8 still "2 weeks after Man the Guns"?
