All the dream votes meant something, but I'm a bit reluctant to get into specifics when a lot of that will be paid off in HoI IV (I mean, I'm hoping, I haven't played it yet obviously so I don't know how the story ends). I will say that the votes at the International-- both the dream ones and the awake ones-- were as much about what sort of things the rest of our story would be about. I'll say more about the emperor vote in particular after the LP is done, if somebody asks me again so I remember to answer it months from now.

I had just thought the the one particular spooky emperors choice was pick a fascism flavor so was curious on that.

Well, we need the Somalians to join the Chinese Pact, or else we might have a hard time getting some conflict going. In the same vein we need some presence in India to get some blood boiling. Thus ##Somalian Patriarchs## and a ##Müllerist India## will together manage to spice things up a bit on the world stage, what with both the Capitalist Faction and the Red Rose Pact getting some members on the wrong side of the world. Regarding Russia... from what I can remember Russia is rather friendly with China, but are they really part of the Chinese Anarcho-Liberal Bloc ideology wise? Goethe would spin in his grave if we were to allow it! ##MAXIMUM ROME, HO!!!!## Besides, we need something to get China and Valeria to regard each other as enemies. With that, from what I've gathered there are four rather big blocs in ByzVerse as opposed to OTL's three: The Communal Councils of the RRP, the Neo-Roman Facists of the WRE, the Chinese Pangalists, and last and perhaps even least Japan and their Liberal Bloc. Outside of them four there's a rather big Neutral Bloc consisting mostly of Isolationists in one way or another, mostly non-commie Socialists and Absolute Monarchies. Any thoughts on how to deal with those? I mean having some Neutral Powers just ducking for cover doesn't sound all horrible, but from what I've gathered there was a fair number of them. Which ones are there anyhow? Could you jog our memory a bit? Empress Theonora posted:thanks a lot, Britain, for making this a possibility thanks to your dogged insistence on not beheading Victoria von Habsburg. Also, do you know how much I will laugh if the first thing Britain does come HoI is beheading Victoria? A whole drat lot, that's for sure!

##Restore the ancient merchant republic! ##Müllerism with Indian Characteristics! These two should help stir the pot quite a bit, but as far as Russia... ##Let's just... stop getting blown up constantly! Russia deserves a bit of a break, it's true, and splendid isolation will let them try to hop onto the winning bandwagon to try to gain land/prestige back. Give them bonuses for Lend/Lease or volunteers if they want to up their military capabilities without actually getting in the way.

Empress Theonora posted:For a while, extremely early on, I thought vaguely of making Unitas evolve into our fascist party, but that was before I got what Unitas was really all about. Fascism = Rome was pretty solid since, oh, the 1807 revolution or so, which was the earliest I started to think about it seriously. The specifics of fascism (Valeria as gestalt cult of personality, remaking history before everyone's eyes, the vague involvement of the Black Chamber, etc.) weren't really planned in advance, but there wasn't really another plan either-- that stuff was just the outgrowth of things that developed organically in V2-- Maxamed Muzzafar's "reign", everyone grappling with their relationships with the past, spooky dead emperors coming back and haunting enlightened modern communists, the complete failure of the last Komnenoi to restore the Roman Empire through more traditional and less weird means, the Byzantines disowning their Roman past and leaving that legacy up for grabs to any demagogue who happened to pass by, etc. For a while, I thought that Pangolism was supposed to be the basis for fascism, what with his fascination with machine guns mowing down plebs and all.

##Write a democratic constitution. ##Müllerism with Indian Characteristics ##Let's just... stop getting blown up constantly. Poor Russia, I feel a little bad that we killed hundreds of thousands of their troops in every battle. I would think that they'd want to keep their heads down for this. Also, I assume that there's no need to vote on space lesbians, but just in case I'll toss my vote in too.

##Restore the ancient merchant republic ##Müllerism with Indian Characteristics ##Third Rome The Somalian Merchant Republic was the coolest thing. Also if we're discussing what went into fascism - where did the 137 year long reign of Muxamed Muzzafar come from? Was it just a case of the transition between dictators being impossible to manage or was there something else going on?

##Restore the ancient merchant republic ##Müllerism with Indian Characteristics ##Let's just... stop getting blown up constantly. Aside from any sympathy for the Russians who get murked by the hundreds of thousands in every war, I think having Russia stay neutral would be good for the game in general. Having a potential major player NOT join the initial war and having their support be a thing that factions vie for would add a layer to the midgame and sort of offer a historical analogy for the role of America, which would be interesting.
