Recruiting for a new mod: The Bitter Stalemate

[xie323]

Hello everyone, you've probably seen me around in the HOI4 community before. Well I'm xie323 on discord and steam and I'm in the process of recruiting for a new mod. It's a mod called "A Bitter Stalemate" and the premise is: What if WWI ended in stalemate? Yep. It's the "What if WW1 won WW1 mod" everyone has been clamoring about. Except don't expect this to be another joke mod, it's actually a serious effort.

The discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/RMcAP7

You can apply for positions to develop here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGZS_jbdinQAWRlGEc33YrGwQcss700lbopfPBihNkPsrPVg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Wish us all the best and hopefully you can offer a lot of support!

CURRENT LORE(open to revisions):

William McKinley was never killed and progressive era never happens, socialists grow in strength in the US. US never enters WWI but is bogged down by Mexican Revolution intervention that culminated in US implementing a puppet in Mexico and annexing Baja California

WW1 ends in stalemate in the west and German victory in the east, however the Germans lost control of their conquests to revolution and the chaos of the Russian civil war

There is a lot of anti government sentiments in Germany, France and Britain, far right rises in all the participants of ww1 seeking vengeance for the “bitter stalemate”. This coincides with Rise of communism as well In Russia, Russian civil war ends in Red victory, but whites set up governments in exile in Far East with help of Japan. Basmachi movement succeeds and muslim state forms in Central Asia. Russia now divided between RSFSR, White Army in the east, Central Asian State, Cossack Federation, as well as Baltic states, Belarus, and Ukraine. Lenin dies a few months before mod starts, and power struggle ensues. Stalin, Bukharin and Trotsky are dead in RCW so they can't be possible successors.

In Asia India breaks free from UK as a result of aftershocks of WWI stalemate(note: might change this) and this, along with the independence of a united Ireland is one of the things that leads to a rising far-right movement.

Stock market crash of 1929 sees the fall of the US to Socialist revolution,civil war until 1933 that leads to Red victory. Hawaii is seized by Japan, but US retains Baja California. A few months into mod, leader of US revolution(undecided) will be assassinated by far-rightist and this spurs US into power struggle.

Hello Xie32, I a, impressed by your scenario. The only problem with alternative history mods is that the course of the scenario will always be determined by random events and choices. This because we do not no and it is hard to imagine how the course of history would be in a alternative universe. I am interested and making also a mod about the 1920s. Maybe we can help eachother.

How about you put this in the WORKSHOP DISCUSSIONS. Idiots these days.
