QuoProQuid posted:[*]Francia: If Francia's goal is to unify Europe by restoring the Carolingian Empire, then clearly the Commandant needs to conquer Rome. Papal coronation optional. I’m in favor of these ideas. I haven’t thought of anything yet, but I would love to see some things happening with Egypt, Vali, and the Middle East in general. Obviously, there could be interesting event chains pushing the Great Powers to intervene and possibly start a military conflict there to secure oil resources, but we could also emphasize the existing religious/ethnic divisions in the region. We don’t need to involve the global juggernauts in order to make things exciting.

The only thing I want is for the Iberian Union to get a national focus that can be taken if it conquers all of the Moroccan land in the Maghreb called "gently caress Morocco" that just balkanizes the gently caress out of them.

QuoProQuid posted:i have no idea how ho14 events work, but here's some suggestions based on the state of the world: Definitely gonna add a bunch of these. But yeah, Francia are going to try and build a widespread alliance of fascists, and Egypt will be at the top of their list, especially since they're more likely to lean towards Francia at this point (being effectively surrounded by Morocco and Russia), all whilst Egypt are tackling the inevitable Middle Eastern crises. Both Ibriz's top priority is going to be reunification, but once that war is over, they're gonna have the chance to test their mettle against smaller powers - starting with Panama, which I imagine the New English won't be too happy about. Regarding the whole pope thing, I've got something small planned for that, but I like the idea of the Commandant publicly making the pope legitimise his regime, so I'll probably add a flavour event for that. As for Sardinia, yeah I agree, I'll try and think something up (maybe an event where we force Provence to cede the island in return for a guarantee or something).

Yeah I've done something similar, I won't spoil it but I will say that the Vali are very ambitious, so they're gonna have designs on neighbouring powers for sure. Cerebral Bore posted:The only thing I want is for the Iberian Union to get a national focus that can be taken if it conquers all of the Moroccan land in the Maghreb called "gently caress Morocco" that just balkanizes the gently caress out of them. We'll have a mutually-exclusive pathway where we can possibly try to make peace with Morocco, but if the thread decides against that then we'll 100% end up at war eventually, and this time there won't be any half-measures or white peaces, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Assuming the Franks are the Nazis of this setting, and will kick off the big one, they should have a similar buildup. It won't quite map out that well since they technically won, I suppose, but none of the losers are really in a similar position (unless Germany goes communist and aggressively builds itself back up, or maybe even if they go counter-fascist against the Franks?). Probably some combination of (mostly peacefully) annexing the fascist Provence, threatening the Scots for annexation, then attacking the Celts as the Poland analogue? Benin needs all the blitzkreig tech boosts. And something diplomatic to help out with the fact that they're going to be locked into a two-front war a million miles away from their allies. None of which will have a good enough navy to get past Morocco. Honesty, I want to see what Russia's tree looks like. They'll have to make some tough decisions to counter the Fascists. Scandinavia is an immediate threat even if the German warzone blocks off the French, and their overseas territories are looking very vulnerable. Can they afford to piss off their most likely allies in the communists by playing hardball with the Balkan Fed? Albionoria and the French territories can shut down their Pacific access even if they aren't a threat to the heartland.

Hats off to Hashim and your special brand of madness/masochism needed to power through all those years of goon self-sabotage and jackassery while still managing to write a hellishly entertaining yarn.

Maybe the Ibrizi Civil War should be handled like the German Civil War? to give Gharbian countries something to meddle in before the big global showdown

Pacho posted:Maybe the Ibrizi Civil War should be handled like the German Civil War? to give Gharbian countries something to meddle in before the big global showdown Yep, that's how I'm treating it. The Ibrizi and German civil wars will both erupt within the first six months, so they'll be the most important part of the early game, since they'll basically determine just how strong the communist bloc will be at the outset of the war, so I imagine we'll be investing heavily in both (but then again, so will the other Great Powers). New England won't care who emerges victorious though, they want to take back North Ibriz and all its resources. The Berber Union is no longer in isolation though, so they'll probably pick a side and back it up against the inevitable English invasion. hashashash fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Feb 6, 2019 |

Probably some combination of (mostly peacefully) annexing the fascist Provence, threatening the Scots for annexation, then attacking the Celts as the Poland analogue? Already done, Francia have focuses to annex a couple smaller countries quite early on, progressively raising world tension with every act of aggression. We'll might have the option to intervene if we so choose, like Provence requesting our aid if they suffer an invasion, and the same goes for a few other great powers. Still not sure about Benin, they'll definitely be rapidly expanding their war arsenal, but they probably wouldn't be too willing to join forces with us again. The most likely option would be them teaming up with Francia, I feel like, especially if Egypt end up joining their faction, since that would basically surround Morocco in Africa. But we'll see. Russia's primary focus early-game will be installing liberal regimes in neighbouring powers, but that could obviously lead to war with Francia (like if they try to invade Scandinavia, which has a fascist regime inclined towards Paris). They'll also have the option to join the League of Monarchies, but the chances won't be very high, unless they're already at war and have no real allies.

I am slightly disappointed that Japan remains the only Great Power in Asia. Since all of the other Great Powers are likely going to be distracted elsewhere, they have the absolute best position to decide their own fate. Neither China nor Mongolia ended up being viable rivals. Perhaps the Japanese could be given potential events to opportunistically declare war to snatch colonies from the French/Moroccans if one of them loses too many ships or otherwise appear vulnerable? India and SE Asia are both prime targets. I mostly just want to see them involved in the next world war.

Since all of the other Great Powers are likely going to be distracted elsewhere, they have the absolute best position to decide their own fate. Neither China nor Mongolia ended up being viable rivals. Japan will have a mini-crisis to deal with early on, stemming from the years of poor government under their dictator and the harsh terms of the Treaty of Edo, when they were forced to dismantle their empire. So I'm hoping that will give some time for one or two challengers to arise on the mainland. Once they get over that hill though, they can start expanding again, and yes they've got focuses to eventually launch invasions into Frankish Indochina and Moroccan Usturaliya. A couple great powers can even try forming alliances with them or China, so there's a very good chance they'll end up in the world war regardless. oystertoadfish posted:oh yeah, i've been saying that Berber Rio de Janeiro would be the place to go, and now they're gearing up for some real poo poo so could you put me in Gharbia in a research position - perhaps one involving recently discovered uses for uranium (idk if you want to give away your approach to that aspect of the game, but i bet they'll be contenders in that race) - or if that's not possible, a general? All the Great Powers have a 'secret weapons' branch of their focus tree giving them some headway into nuclear technology, so sure, I can put you down as a nuclear scientist for the Berber Union.

The most likely option would be them teaming up with Francia, I feel like, especially if Egypt end up joining their faction, since that would basically surround Morocco in Africa. But we'll see. I dunno, they seemed like they had a pretty stable constitutional govn't before getting whacked about in the great war. It would be a little odd to sign on with the UNFflies without themselves being turned to the hard right. Especially if there's a racial superiority aspect to the fascists in France. And double especially if Morocco sides with France because hey they're both totalitarian states and what's really the difference except for the title of the dude at the top? Likewise, the socialist government under the constitutional monarchy of Russia probably doesn't love our glorious communist dictatorship and we think they're sellouts who are just as bad as the bourgeoisie, but we'd have a lot more in common with them than either of us would with the French and would probably support the same side in the German civil war. It at least seems more likely than social democratic Russia signing on with absolute monarchists.
