The Kaiserreich Mod

[Bondrewd Dawn]

Since the game first came out I have been eagerly awaiting a Kaiserreich mod that follows the legacy left by the original in HOI2. For quite a while I could find nothing on it, both online and on forums. However, I was delighted when I recently found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nf7QLR3r4s As far as I am aware this modder is still working on it, but the lack of support he has recieved on his recent videos is worrying. I just wanted to put this out there so peaple will see it and give a bit more support to what seems like a hard-working and faithful modder who is attempting to revive one of the best mods in Hearts of Iron history.

Btw, for any one of you who are wondering, Kaiserreich is a mod that takes place in an alternate history setting, in which germany won the first world war. The original is amazing in its detail and very well thought out, with hundreds of unique events and political structures. It was a complete overhaul mod that changed the map, politics and technology of the core HOI2 game. If you guys want to learn how truly amazing the mod was I encourage you to look up videos and wiki's of the mod. This will help you understand why I am so exited for this mod to be in HOI4, because I believe it would fit the new National Focus system perfectly.

Pretty sure I saw this mod or a mod similar to it in the workshop. Looks interesting.

Really? When I type in "Kaiserreich" on the mod page, nothing comes up, I know that there is a ww1 mod which is also an overhaul, but I havn't seen any mods on the page that covers the "what if" scenario yet.

[NED STARK]

Okay I did some digging. Yeah I was thinking of this small mod WW1 mod that I saw while browsing the new mods in the workshop a few days ago. However, you might check out "Brave New World" which is trying to do BIG timeline extension and looks like they have a nice WW1 timeline going. I've not checked it out. It's the best I could find though for you. Your best shot might be to post your question on a hearts of iron reddit group or something.

[Bondrewd Dawn]

ahh i see well I'm glad we got that cleared up.

[Bondrewd Dawn]

btw, for anyone reading this in the future I will update this discussion if I find any new things about the mod. For instance here is the official forum used by the mod creators: http://cs.servegame.com/kaiserreich/thread-2092.html

It looks like they are making good progress, but it still won't be completed for a while, so I guess we just have to wait. They have also not completed it to the point where they can release the first build yet, I guess it's just not at that stage yet.

Here is the officail trailer for the mod as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLYUa1rAaQ8

They have a thread on the Paradox Forums, you can see their progress more directly and give input to the devs.

You need a Paradox account that is connected with your copy of HOI4 to be able to access it though.

It might be better to move the discussion to the 'Workshop Discussions' forum on Steam and not in the 'General Discussions' forum.

Hmm, I have a Parodox account but it seems I am not allowed to view that thread. It must be because it is not connected to my copy of the game, so I will come back to you on that.

[Bondrewd Dawn]

ops, well I'm nort very god at this formating thing.

Let me try that again:

"It might be better to move the discussion to the 'Workshop Discussions' forum on Steam and not in the 'General Discussions' forum."

Yes I have thought of doing something like that, but my idea is to copy/paste my original comment onto the workshop discussions while also have this discussion going here.

Since I haven't bought HoI4 yet (still playing Darkest Hour & Arsenal of Democracy, and have only put about 40 hours into HoI3), I can't see the thread in Paradox's forums, despite the fact that I own about a dozen of their games...

Oh well, I'm excited to hear that Kaiserreich is coming to HoI4!

Why isn't it possible to create Factions except in rare event-fueled circumstances such as the Belgrade Pact and American Alliance? For example, I reconquered mainland France as National France and left the Entente with the intentions of starting a faction, surely in this case I should be in a position to start such a faction. Not sure if this is a bug or if there is a reason I am not understanding for why this happens.

[Bondrewd Dawn]

In regards to your question about factions. I'm not a developer, but I believe they intentionally got rid of the vanilla faction system to prevent random factions from spawning, as that would possibly ruin the hundreds of event chains that revolve around the in-game factions. In short, you can't create factions as that would break the game.

So Still no Resolution because it is pretty simple really if someone with HOI4 goes to the workshop and downloads the mod then they go to their games workshop folder then boom they have the code then all they need to do is put in dropbox or something and share the link with us.

OR, you could stop supporting piracy and buy the damn game Scarwolff
