Can we be able to side with the monarchists?

[Chris1996]

It would be cool, I know you can go two ways, I assume, either a dictator or a democrat buttt what about just being an absolute monarchist (I guess that would go under the dictator umbrella) I just wonder if we will see more about the old guard and I assume theyre like monarchists? or former monarchists that resent the new regime?

The Old Guard are Soll's loyalists,not monarchists.

I recall hearing in an interview they did,and if you read in the demo,that Rumburg (the northern monarchy),is seeking to become the Third superpower. An alliance with them or if the Autocrat path allows you to pull a Napoleon, it may be what you're looking for. The last sentence is my theory.

then i could make support for it, might make it a challenge, how do you know there's little support? there could or should be a conspiracy about the old class and the connection to the royals, far as I know theres little mentioning as to where the exiled too unless I missed it.

I'd also love to see this added, if possible. Arrange betrothals with your kids to other kingdoms/empires to solidify support, offering nobility or titles to supporters in the military/business factions, passing pro-monarchists reforms that lead to a civil war or some type of resistance in regions that then combat with your supporters.

I really like the added challenge aspect of a path like this! Either inviting the former royalty back and becoming their Prime Minister or assuming the throne for yourself and family.

Strange, usually in contries that had a stable monarchy and the dictatorships coups etc, most of the people quietly supports a constitutional monarchy

I'd love to see monarchism in a dlc or sequel.

Monarchism is kaput, the sollists are the ones who got rid of it and its impossible ideologically for the other parties to support it

That is because a monarch keeps the elite in check. So the elite is happy the king is gone (because now they have power) while the population isn't (because now the elite can screw them over).

To reinstate the monarch you need to pull an Octavian; you can't rely on the existing elite to save the country because they are the ones killing it.

Right now in Sordland, the Monarchists are just a Fringe group in the Far right Party and are heavily irrelevant. the only way they could realistically return to power is if Rumburg wins the war and sets up a monarchist Puppett State, kinda like when the coalition restored the French monarchy after Napoleon.

Bit of a different situation, considering Napoleon also became a monarch as well.

Fair, he did declare himself emperor of the French
