This is why I am of the opinion the Entente would probably go far-right instead of liberal and that an NLP or SPD-led Germany would probably be the main vanguard of liberalism/liberal democracy in the world of Kaiserreich.
And? There are no good guys nations in the game or in real life people in KR like to wank their favoured nation or ideology, who cares
It's something that i think needs to be said given the unironic Entente-fanboying that goes on everywhere.And? There are no good guys nations in the game or in real life people in KR like to wank their favoured nation or ideology, who cares
You're forgetting natpop Japan (which is...literally just OTL Japan but with a more divided opposition) and Zhang Zhongchang (who is a worthless dirtbag, knows it, and seeks only to become even more of a total rat bastard).With a few exceptions—Iron Guard Romania, Pelley, Goering, Savinkov(as much as I enjoy playing as him).

IMO to really bring the WW1 redux theme in more, WK2 should have varying start options. Like, democratic France goes to war with Germany not because "gib clay" but because of a tragicomedy of errors resulting from protests in Nanzig or something (totalitarian France can go to war because "gib clay" for a more WW2 esque experience); democratic Britain should have no real reason to quarrel with Ireland; the Switzerland thing isn't so much France bullying them these days as Switzerland literally just grabbed land with a flimsy justification and France is finally stable enough to say "oy, don't do that".
I just did a Red America run where he beat Nanjing and the left-KMT and turned half the Chinese coastline into a drug smuggling corridor. Ended up working with Fengtian after I cheesed Japan with marine spam while letting them invade the Pacific states to encircle most of their army (never seen an AI be so stupid lol), and by that point I was more busy trying to prop up France and didn't have the time to use Korea as a springboard to invade his private opium plantation.And yeah, calling Zhang Zongcheng a “bastard“ seems pretty mild considering what a shitty human being he is but about half the time in recent games the Qing loyalist guy wins the power struggle.
Hardliner Japan literally institutes the Three Alls policy to annihilate the Chinese people.Oh yeah very true. I almost never go Nat Pop as Japan and they are still pretty freaking aggressive no matter what political route you choose so I almost forget they could do that tbh.
I mean they use the term popular revolution, which is not a good sign. They also ignore the fact that India has democracy for example.
Care to elaborate on this.I mean they use the term popular revolution, which is not a good sign.
Delhi doesn't have democracy. The nicest possible interpretation is that it's a bunch of local strongmen and despots using the Raj as a fig leaf to justify their own rule. Out of the three Indias, only Bharat has actual democracy (unless Bose takes over and turns it into basically a nationalist dictatorship).I mean they use the term popular revolution, which is not a good sign.

For me, kr has always been about Liberating Europe from Syndies as the Entente, then maybe reclaiming parts of the Empire.
So if liberal democracy were to prevail, it would be in the form of Germany adopting liberal reforms under the NLP or SPD, basically?Those are not the good guys.
Or Governor Chen's China, in the '50s or '60s.So if liberal democracy were to prevail, it would be in the form of Germany adopting liberal reforms under the NLP or SPD, basically?
Not to mention that there are people in these faction that might be more open than the rest of the available options.Yeah Nationalist France is an a authoritarian pseudo-dictatorship, but as the player you can—-at a fairly hefty stability hit—give the native peoples a degree of equality.
There are rarely ever really good or bad guys in History.Those are not the good guys.
I mean, it is a bit of a left wing term (suggesting a bias).Care to elaborate on this.
There are events where you have elections!Delhi doesn't have democracy.
No. It is run by trade unions. It is at best an incredibly olgicaral democracy.Bharat has actual democracy
Uhm, the nicest possible interpretation of Delhi definitely covers democracy given they have, you know, elections that decide the government and can be won by multiple parties covering a wide political range (unlike, say, the Long's AUS) - even parties led by people willing to negotiate and unite with an amenable Bharatiya government (eg., with Gandhi).Delhi doesn't have democracy.

Also...Sand France is literally a colonial regime AND a military dictatorship at the same time that literally uses black people as slaves, Australasia starts out a dictatorship and has to have democracy restored, the West Indies are a white-supremacist patchwork that mostly exists to stop the non-white people from telling Eddie to piss off, and Canada has been straight-up hijacked by the royals and their pet minions so that they can throw away lives in a futile attempt to retake a country that told them to get lost because it was time to become a republican regime.
Those are not the good guys.
