Alternate scenario where Germany won WWI, Russia didn't go red and France & Britain got taken over by It started off as a mod that replaced the Soviet Union with Russia and then just sort of snowballed from there.

Ok thanks guys, been pining for some WWII action and think I'll grab DH. It's only like 9 bux on steam. PS The Paradox forums are amazing. I can't get over all the idiots listing their full Vicky2 pop-unit stats in a huge long sig longer than their posts. No one loving cares. Also I've never seen a single Vicky2 self-bio sig that didn't have "consciousness: 10". Some people even list their cash reserves. Then you've got CK2 fans listing their personal stats, everyone is a cynical genius. This thread can argue about nazi's and war crimes in HOI as long as they want so long as they never do Vicky pop unit sigs. Baronjutter fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Aug 28, 2015 |

I guess I'm in the minority in that I actually like Vicky 2's POPs and economy in all their complexity. I do admit that the way they're presented to the player could use some work (just finding out what POPs actually NEED when they say they're missing their various life/daily/luxury needs is like three menus deep), and the capitalist AI has absolutely no idea how to make money, but I think it's really cool to actually see the effect of drawn out conflicts on the civilian population in a game rather than just having some kind of Civ style abstraction. I'm hoping Stellaris POPs have at least that level of detail to them.

I don't know if this is the right thread realy for Darkest Hour / Kaiserreich stuff but anyone care to give me some tips? I'm hoping to play as France and liberate europe from monarchy and conservatism but Kaiserreich seems super event driven and I'm rusty as gently caress with my Hoi2. I only ever played Hoi2 and Arsenal of Democracy so if anyone has a bit of a primer on DH or Kaiserreich I'd really appreciate it.

As France, you'll get decisions in 37 and 39 that can lead to war- you'll know them when they show up. Go with Manuever doctrine in the elections, because you'll be fighting a war of attrition with Germany's larger manpower reserves and you'll need every advantage you can get. Your navy should be fleets of heavy cruisers with torpedoes.

Your navy should be fleets of heavy cruisers with torpedoes. In my first "I don't know what the gently caress I'm doing or how events are scripted to play out" game I declared war on spain early on, shortly after Germany joined against me even though they were not allies. Then england came in on my side. Germany pushed my poo poo in, bad. So 37-38 is when things are scripted that events leads to war between germany and france? I guess I'm looking at the game from too much of an EU4 perspective, that it's a total sandbox and you can know everything by looking at a country's diplomacy screen. Spain has no allies thus is 100% safe to attack! Wait, scripted events?! An actual WWII game you can sort of intuit what is going to go down because we're all familiar with the lead up and general unfolding of WWII, but with Kaiserreich it's a scripted alt-history so things sneak up. I tried to find wiki's and poo poo that describe how the game is "supposed" to unfold but didn't come up with much. Would playing the USA be easier to see how the typical game unfolds? How do you play as the various rebels and break-away US states?

Playing in the second American civil war is a clusterfuck and probably not recommended for somebody getting back in the swing of things. There are some ways to make it easier, but it turns into a mess almost every time. France isn't that hard to understand, the basic gist is: 1) Don't touch any of the surrounding nations, Germany will gently caress your poo poo up. You don't need to, anyway. The first war you start should be against Germany. 2) Unless things go REALLY wrong, you're in control of when the war against Germany starts. There are a few situations that just ask you "war or not", and the last is a decision you can fire at any time. Beyond that, just build up your forces and eventually attack Germany when you feel ready.

Another question: how do I get nations to like me or be on my side? For instance as I was trying this USA civil war business I switched to the pacific states and moved as left and planned as possible but the Syndicate states hate me, -125 relations. Influence nation has 0% chance and they refuse to trade with me. In EU4 I can park a diplomat and "improve relations". How do I forge friendships or is everything basically scripted? Also a weird technical issue, no matter which way I scroll my mouse wheel the map zooms out and lists scroll down. Is the game just too old ? Also is there any way to make the controls better? ie space = pause.

Influence nation has 0% chance and they refuse to trade with me. In EU4 I can park a diplomat and "improve relations". How do I forge friendships or is everything basically scripted? There's a lot of hardcoding when it comes to who likes who and who will ally with who - actually quite similar to vanilla DH. As the Pacific States, your alliances are event-driven (Japan, Entente, and somebody else I think, maybe Germany?), and it's basically assumed that the Syndicates will eventually attack you. As such, forging friendships is practically useless unless you're already very close ideologically to begin with (for instance, France can bring nations like the Indian Commune and Centroamerica into their alliance if they try REALLY hard), but if you want to boost relations, Influence Nation is your best bet. Even if it's at 0%, it will raise relations by 5. Tedious, but possible. The mouse wheel thing is probably an engine limitation, since it's on the Europa engine (AKA the "old" engine). You can change space to be pause, but 1) I can't remember how, it involves editing some config file but that's all I know and 2) it fucks with renaming of stuff since you can no longer use space for its actual intended use - again, engine limitations.
