One thing I've always wondered about Kaiserreich's lore is why didn't Germany crush syndicalist France whencthe revolt first happened, they helped the whites in Russia defeat the soviets so why didn't they do that to the french who are right next to them, another thing is why did Germany and Austria allow Syndicalist France to expand their influence into northern Italy, syndicalism is an outright hostile ideology to the status quo of both Germany and Austria so why didn't they join forces and attack France when they did that is beyond me

Imagine for a second that you are the German Kaiser at the end of WWI. The French commies are pacifist, will (probably) run France into the ground, and will be completely isolated on the world stage, should they win. The French nationalists hate you even more then the commies, are much more militarist, and have strong ties with the UK and Russia, two countries you want France to stay as far away from as possible. Who do you want to take control of France.

Because you see uh, with the fronts moving uh, supplies, erm, francs-tireurs, ah, non-interventionism?

Like most of Kaiserreich, its another scenario for Syndiewanks to get their rocks off an impossible and implausible chain of coincidences or convenient events that shit all over their "realism".

Sadly the lore on the Commune is something like this:
France and Germany peace out cause Germany pushed France to breaking point, Bongs hold out in a proxy war for a few more years then white peace in 1920 or something.
Communards rise up against France in opposition to the treaty which basically humiliates France along with various sectors of the French public. The military essentially dissolves.
Germnany ignores this for some reason, recognizing the Commune as the legitimate French government because a hostile revolutionary power is better than a hostile revanchist power apparently, but backs the Whites because White Russia winning is the last holdover of KR's legacy as a Russian mod.

I wouldn't be surprised if they decide actually the Whites are pushed to Transamur while wholesome chungus Lenin or someone leads Russia.

What's with Kaiserdevs and revolutions working with no problems? For fucks sake, the Weimar republic was even less stable than their TL's postwar France and Britain, and the fighting there was more of a civil war than their lore ever shows for UoB and France. And even then, most of the socialist uprisings were either crushed brutally or faded when "democracy" started moving in Germany.

For example, Munich declared a Soviet Republic in 1919. The problem of course is that Bavaria was and is comparatively a conservative and viciously independent part of Germany, so the rural areas took none of that shit and rose up to "remove" the issues in the capital. Then, whole groups of the army that dissolved, which was still very conservative, even in the enlisted ranks when they came home to see their country being torn apart, formed their own militia bands to go against the rebels and joined the local Bavarians, and in one month the Socialist Republic was dead.

I mention this because Kaiserreich assumes that the French and British armies just collapse and nothing happens with their soldiers that doesn't involve them joining the syndies or forming their own groups to support non-leftist governments, there's little to no resistance from other sectors of the country that are culturally and socially against any type of socialism, and that all the non-revolutionaries went to Canada or Algeria with little to no fight. As I've said many times, I know it's syndies trying to stack their cards in their favor, but for all "muh realism in A-H scenarios", they sure have no fucking idea what they're talking about.

Also I hope none of the original Russian dev's have to see what these Speer-hoodie type dorks have done with their cool mod idea. That's just heart-breaking to think about.

There is no reasoning. Their move towards realism is strictly to remove wacky shit, nothing else.

Red Flood is a beautiful shit post.

Although I like most of the major mods (KR, KX, TNO) here despite all valid criticisms, I absolutely love the unrestrained Id of Red Flood and the depths to which its failed paths go. Wolven France is just fucking beautiful with the massive attrition, zero factories, zero infrastructure, and mandatory breeding/raping season.

Kind of wish there were more shitpost mods. Perhaps a mod with political lolcows as leaders? An HOI4 mod where MovieBob can become president and attempt to enact his SUPERIOR FUTURE would be amazing.
