David Corbett posted:Why are the Maritimes included in Québec? I mean I get that New Brunswick is officially bilingual, and that there are certainly Acadian communities remaining in Nova Scotia, but the area is mostly anglophone and in any case definitely not Québécois. Because leaving them with Canada means leaving a pene-enclave, and that makes players sad.

There should be an option to create a "Socialist Republic of Vinland" or something that contains the Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador. It makes more sense than attaching them to Quebec, at least. So what are the plans for the Caribbean and Australasia?

Personally, I say that we head to Australia next because the idea of Edward VIII constantly beset by Reds and chased around the world is pretty hilarious. Where does MacArthur end up anyway?

This might be the point where you should start manually firing events or writing your own to shape the story, because otherwise not much more will happen. The Entente aren't going to be much of a challenge unless you bolster them by adding Japan or China to their ranks, and similarly the war with Germany, if it ever happens, won't be exciting.

It won't be exciting for him from a gameplay perspective, but I have a lot of faith in Chief Savage Man's narrative style to make it actually interesting for us. His writing has made this legitimately one of my favorite Paradox LP's ever.

It probably wouldn't be hard to write up an equivalent to the Great Patriotic War for Germany to make it a bit more of a challenge - or at least ensure the Commune won't overrun them ASAP.

I've played significantly ahead in order to make doing this fit in with my other commitments and I've already done a few things to make things more interesting. So far I haven't had to because this is the end of our 'storyline' as far as events go. For example, I edited Germanys dissent to 0 down from 30 so that France couldn't just bowl them over and did a few other things to make it a more spread out and interesting war. The whole point of this LP is to showcase the narrative aspects of the game and mod, because that is ultimately what I enjoy the most. And sometimes it pays off to go kick the narrative in the rear end. One time I edited every nation in the world into the Entente or Mitteleuropa (as an Entente member Spain) and had a game ending royal rumble.

I believe there's an event where after annexing Canada you can release Canada/Canada & Quebec so you probably could have avoided the dissent hit. Still, Syndie Canada's flag is great. Its interesting that you guys have France rolling over Germany every game. I just played a German game with the new patch, and France was a pushover. In my current CSA game France is just getting rolled as well. Its kind of rare for me to see France being successful.

I've had that event before and I believe it's contingent on the Canada surrender event which didn't fire for me this time.

Still, Syndie Canada's flag is great. It depends heavily on AI randomness. IIRC both the Commune of France and Germany get events that let them pick their land doctrine trees, and if one of them ends up with Mobility Focus and the other doesn't the one with Mobility will probably roll over its opponent in short order.

According to CSM's narrative a lot of people fled to Cuba, and some of those fled to the Caribbean Federation when Cuba fell. Maybe MacArthur will seek asylum in Japan.

The Canadians get a 'True Americans Division' of exiles if the CSA wins the Civil War, maybe MacArthur ended up commanding it (and then got rolled a second time).

Also note how this empire managed to conquer the whole known world with Stone Age tech, then completely vanish JUST before the advent of written history. What a shame.

Or maybe the Red Baron? Don't ask me how that would work, but he is the German chief of the air force. You've got to be specific when dealing with barons in Kaiserreich; there's more of them than you'd expect.
