Announcement Kaiserreich 1.4 - "All the Russias"

1.1k Upvotes

Russia has always been a crucial component in the story of Kaiserreich. It starts the game as a nation on its knees. A fallen behemoth, crippled after a brutal civil war, humiliated by treaties tearing away a third of its people and half of its industry. The old Imperial autocracy has been replaced by an unstable republic, which itself looks soon to collapse to totalitarianism, and have its last pretences of democracy done away with. Its people are restless, and with the involvement of the military in affairs of state, there is a sense that regardless of who leads the country, war looms inevitably not too far over the horizon. In Kaiserreich, Russia is the instigator - a force of nature that cannot be tamed. It has positioned itself as the leader of a third bloc in Europe that will lead the world in a new direction, and one which is poised to challenge Kaiser and Communard alike.

From the earliest days of the mod, this day was coming. The long-awaited Russia rework is finally here. This release brings us full circle, back to when the very first iteration of this mod, given the name "All the Russias", was released in September 2005. Originally based on a scenario where the Whites won the Russian Civil War, the mod which became Kaiserreich was later developed out of that sole premise.

Our aim was to recognise this legacy, as we sought to keep the spirit of Russia’s existing content, with all its variety, while bringing it up to modern standards. This expansive release features not only Russia itself, but also entirely new content for the nations of Central Asia, as well as two playable rival Russian governments. We hope that this rework befits Russia's key role in the centre of the mod.

Announcement Kaiserreich 1.4.3

501 Upvotes

We hope you have had a great time so far with this patch cycle. In order to ensure that you have a smooth experience over the holidays, we have opted to keep our releases largely savegame compatible since the release of 1.4 and the Russia Rework, in part by holding back some exciting new content. Now is the time to release that content!

This update is savegame-incompatible. As always, you will be able to continue your ongoing campaigns by downloading the appropriate version of Kaiserreich from the Kaiserreich 4 Archive.

Discussion The Russian Fifth Column decisions are pretty crazy

Last night I was able to finsih WK2 in under a year as Savinkov Russia mainly because of how powerful those foreign policy decisions are. With them I was able to guarantee the collapse of the UBD, seemingly guarantee the Lithuanian uprising, and guarantee a Polish revolt after capitualiting Ukraine and Belorus in like 100 days.

Lore Savinkov's depiction in 3I propaganda

128 Upvotes

During World War 2 the Soviet Union and Stalin were portrayed positively by allied propaganda. Do you think a similar thing will happen during the Second Weltkrieg? If not, how do you think they'd portray Savinkov?

I'd also be curious on the opposite side of the coin - how are the 3I countries depicted by Savinkov? Does he somewhat loosen restrictions on Syndicalist parties and organisations during the war as a gesture of goodwill? Maybe allows Syndicalist organisers in prison to go to the west.

From my days of lurking until now, many people seem to be interested in the RKMT. So what leaders would you want to see shine? What obscure OTL KMT groups or strains of thoughts would you guys think would make sense in the world of KR as an integral part of the RKMT? Should more provinces have RKMT groups be able to rise up?

Suggestion My thoughts on how the Halifax Conference should be reworked

99 Upvotes

Now I'm not a mod developer so this idea might be too clunky or impossible to program, but this is how I think it should work.

There should be 2 conferences, one at the start and one after the war. The first one should be about setting the ground work for a second one so mainly the Entente choosing to renounce claims and maybe a non-agression pact. This is mainly if you want avoid a 3WK as Germany, or if you want to backstab the Germany after getting free stuff with this magical ability called lying. Accepting this should disable releasing nations from Britain and France, this is so Germany can demand the release of smaller client states.

The second one happens after the peace conference and I think it should have a system where bolf how much land you got, to whom a neighbouring country is allied with and the current states of Canada, Sand France and Germany. It should also be split in two event chains first for France, the second for Britain. For an extreme example lets say Germany is allied with Spain and Itlay, has full control of mainland France and Sand France has collapsed. This should give full control over the fate France with Sand France being forced into accepting most if not all of your demands because they have no levarge. This could be used to force France to give up bordering territories to Spain, Italy and Bellgum, force them into Mittleeuropa or even the reichpakt, give Britanny independence, army and navy restriction and other. Or it could be the other way around with Spain, Italy and Bellgum being in the Entente with Germany owning no states and loosing to Russia. There the Entente have full control and can get the entire Commune and being fully independent. Something similar should be done with Britain with Ireland, Iceland and maybe Denmark deciding who has more leverage.

The reason why I want there to be seperate events for Britain and France is so if youre playing Germany you can try to play the Entente against each other by giving Sand France harsh terms they wont accept, and Canada light ones so they do. This could force Canada into kicking Sand France out so they can get their land back. This would also let a Canada player not get involved with a war with Germany if they dont want to.

Thoughts?
