Agreed. Kaiserredux Russia is some of the best Kaiserredux content and one thing I point to when people think it is just a funny emem mod. Savinkov can come to power like seven different ways in Redux for example. Really looking forward to the eventual Austria rework even though it's being done by one guy in his spare time.
I do like KX but I don't see it as a real replacement for classic KR.
Dead on arrival, ignore and move on.
no more Turkestan runs then
yeah, it is bloated as fuck and leans too much into the wacky territory. Also the lag is unbearable
So basically nothing good more stupid character assassination and removal of “unwholesome” characters
Usually in Europe, the problems with immigration (and yes, they are full of them) are because the European countries themselves do not want to integrate them. Sometimes the comments suggest that the EU is spending billions on welcoming and accommodating Muslims - shit they are spending, not money. It has always been the priority of EU states to push out newcomers as quickly as possible, to make it as difficult as possible for them to enter legally, to put up every possible barrier, and to push those who have slipped through as far away from their eyes as possible. Let them live in their own communities, in their own ghettos, whether they want to integrate or not, so that they do not contaminate our white Europe. Half of the immigrants work in slavery - in the same sense as many Lithuanians did in the West 20 years ago. In Sweden or Germany, kebabs are cheap because companies secretly employ immigrants, pay their wages in envelopes, keep them in slave-like conditions, and thus cut costs. And if you look past that, of course there will be crime and gangs and all the rest of it, because you can't do otherwise.
In Lithuania in the 90s, crime was also huge because of the same desperation. Lithuanians, Latvians, Poles in Western Europe (and 100 years ago in the USA) were also confined to gated communities, and were also considered criminals, bandits, etc., who polluted the local society (after all, until about the 20th century, we were not really considered white, like the Slavs, until about the 20th century) How many mafiosi there were in Norway, how many problems we had with Lithuanian alcoholic parents in Norway, whose children had to be taken away from them by the authorities. Well, we won't say that Lithuanians haven't tried to integrate, or that they are some kind of scum by nature.
So, in a word, it is a question of who is to blame for this integration crisis.
All of these seem like good changes aside from UoB (Haven't really bothered to acquaint myself with it.) Göring getting the axe is only natural, seems like he was picked at the start because he just felt right rather than being put there from a place of research and logic. Long being NatPop is an odd choice, but I think it is valid, especially since it goes away from NatPop later on. As for Russia, that also is only natural. Was weird from the first place that the country most resembling OTL-Germany is democratic at start imo.
Wholesome Syndicalist Israel ethnically cleansing Arabs when ?
If by “democratic” you mean an unstable corrupt facade republic with a strongman dictator that is prone to coups and civil wars then I’d say Russia at game start is pretty reasonable.
I understand what you're getting at but there is nothing worse among alt-history mods than the religious adherence to 'research and logic'. Particularly with Hoi4 since you play in a set period hand waving is fine to a certain extent to get the people you want in the right places to create an enjoyable experience.
Redditards will also argue Huey was a closet racist and that getting black Louisianan's books was just a cynical way to get their votes for his continued programs. They happily ignore that Long grew up in an impoverished town with conditions as functionally bad as blacks.
To be fair I rarely see the wacky shit happen in Kaiserdux unless the game rules are specifically set for it. I've noticed that AI Russia flips Syndie a lot but I chalk this up to AI incompetence.
mine didn't and I ended up posting on k*wi farms
Wasn't that the point? You're playing as violent racists who have no respect for their fellow man and are willing to tank America in the name of white supremacy. I would personally prevent any path from being "in negative stability forever" if only because HOI4 mods shouldn't design brick walls as gameplay, but it seems to me reasonable that a terrible regime would be terribly inviable. Why not add more content, such as foreign policy or internal conflict? There's a show on HBO in which anti-semitism and racial violence in general escalate in an alternate 30's United States. It''s a truly intriguing angle on interwar American politics and society. What's stopping you from developing worthwhile if unnerving worldbuilding, Kaiserdevs?
This is peak HOI4
Some reddit users have complained about how the removal of Pelley and explicitly prejudiced elements whitewashes Huey and American race relations in the 1940s. Your thoughts?
I don't think I can answer whether that's the case or not a priori. We'll have to see how Huey, Longism and Longists behave in the coming updates to find out.
Being able to play the bad guys in the eyes of these kind of modders is akin to personally endorsing the policies they promoted, only wholesome socialists allowed.
This is why I have a grudging respect for EaW, AKA horse genocide simulator.
