So, I noticed that Kaiserreich doesn't seem to have a thread for just discussing the game itself. There's a Hetalia thread and a Photos thread, but that's about it. I'm something of a noob to grand strategy and Kaiserreich specifically, but I really wanted to try Kaiserreich after spending some time playing Victoria II. So, I have two games currently running, both at 1937. In my first game, I started as the Americans. I tried to avert the Second American Civil War, that failed, so I played as Huey Long because Huey Long kicks ass and tried my best to keep the South alive.
I stopped that for a bit and moved onto a game as the Union of Britain, mostly so I could play as Mosley. Basically, I pushed for Maximist policies as much as possible, before eventually first electing Mosley to power, centralizing his position unconstitutionally to make him all-powerful, then holding a coup and killing those who opposed him. There are names for this, but it was mostly events and national focuses and they're slipping my mind. It was an interesting playthrough for the day, and I'm still in the beginning stages of that game. So that's fun, if really dark, but so are a lot of strategy games.
Anyway, so, what are your guys' experiences with the game? Any stories or comments on it?
