It's impossible. Dutch will always allow the Kaiser and the one save that didn't, I quit the game because I had been playing for over a day straight cracked on G-Fuel and literal pieces of bread for complex energy just for my ironman save to be ruined because the game somehow thought I cheated or modified the game when I never did in the first place.

Paradox is objectively the worst developers when it comes to creating the least fun, grindy achievements which force players to use in game exploits on an ironman save. I understand using the console is bad, but give us the option to save scum when I need to rely on 1% RNG just to get 5% chance I'll get the achievement.

Refer to a guide since you can't figure it out.

For demands that are based on military strength like returning the kaiser you can just delete your army so they will always refuse, blaming the game because you don't understand anything is not productive at all.

As pointed out just delete your army before sending the Dutch the request. If you have an army they will most likely say no because at that point its not really hard to have a stronger military than them.

As for your save: If you start the game through Steam and start an ironman game and then start the game through the regular exe instead while steam is closed (aka bypassing steam because Paradox games don't do a steamcheck) then yes, the game will regard this savefile as altered the moment you save it (which on ironman happens the moment you load it)

I did that on my final playthrough. I'm not going through another rubbish civil war which is also what paradox is far too obsessed with. Maybe get the corporate rooster out of your mouth and address having my achievement possibility revoked

The reason for the ironman save is stupid. Paradox needs to stop with those checks and make the way players can earn achievements just like any other steam game. At least Fallout New Vegas allows me to earn them whenever I just open up the game and play. Hell, I could save whenever I want just in case the game goes to hell.

Paradox forces me to have the game overwrite itself on a save so when something stupid happens like having my country spammed with contested government events despite no communist or fascist support, my entire Sweden playthrough doesn't get ruined.

Other stuff Paradox hasn't fixed, communist Baltic states ceasing their civil war when the Soviets get into a civil war. Countries in civil war starting a faction with other countries in a civil war. Civil wars turning into normal wars with allies stealing your land. My personal favourite: the new peace conference being illegible to a certain extent without addressing some of the problems it newly created. Countries who have war goals on states should be the only country to claim it unless another shares that claim.

If the country helped you then it will get claims. It sacrificed its man and weapons in your war and generated war score (no war score contribution = No claim rights). Given you cant repay the country with money etc it will instead claim the provinces if it can.

If you don't want them to take anything then don't invite them into the war. And for Europe you shouldn't need the assistance of any other nation if you're Germany anyway (this includes steamrolling Russia. But for Russia you should be able to generate enough war score to claim everything yourself anyway). Also historic AI off is begging for Civil Wars around the globe (Poland, Italy, Russia and Baltics being prime offenders. If you go Empire/Kaiserreich then also very likely France too because they get all the German communist refugees).

Your first paragraph is my general grievance with the game. This is more of an issue playing with minor nations and the current peace deal conferences always does stupid crap like not giving any nation enough war score to have a full peace deal which tends to leave bits of Hitler scattered around Germany after WWII in some games.

I can relate to the Hitler part. Had that as Brazil when Hitler lost against the Allies but was left alive (this was at like 41, historic focus off) resulting in him surviving in Praque. I declared on some nation (cant remember who. It wasnt venezuela nor Peru) as Brazil and they joined the Axis. This resulted in the Axis losing the war (duh) and me annexing Praque as Brazil because I had enough war score. That was funny in itself. I did abandon that Brazil world domination run though.

Can you imagine what soldiers fighting in that universe would be talking about?

You act as if the game wasn't already absurdly easy enough if you know what you're doing. The only thing remotely making the game hard is when I forget to design an air force, when I fail an RNG part of an achievement challenge, or navigating a bloated focus tree as I attempt to find the focus I need for the run I'm doing.

your first mistake was going kaiser go for eva braun.

i get the hate for the rng. knowing that you have to do all the set up just for rng to kick in and have to restart kills the fun. at the very least there should be an option to save a set up for countries to avoid having to do it each time.


if you raise world tension by 25% the czechs will have a high chance say no and if your at war and i think lose some territory Lithuania will always say no starting the oyster conspiracy

winning the civil war and beating the czech entente is a pain but then you have a lot of territory and its just sitting back and waiting letting everyone else then going for the US

You can have Eva as your leader? Well, that changes a lot. I never thought Hitler was with her until late in the war considered he showed a lack of interest in women in his early life if I recall correctly
