Karl Marx making 500 men appear is historically accurate! In 2018, China gifted Germany a statue of Karl Marx to celebrate his 200th birthday. During the unveiling of this statue, in Marx's hometown Trier, a crowd of roughly 100 people appeared in the area. Some might say that these were people who came to watch the unveiling of the statue or to photograph the statue, but this is untrue, these people just manifested into existence at that moment - and now they are all members of the German army!

Rosa Luxembourg is a reference to one of the leaders of the early communist organizations in the Weimar Republic. In early 1919, they tried to take over the government in the "Spartakusaufstand", which resulted in battles against the government, especially in Berlin. Thats also why it is called the Weimar Republic, since because of the battles, the government first went to Weimar to create a constitution. Thx for all the likes btw. :D

She did write a piece that critiqued Bolshevism, and certainly had harsh words for the group of professional revolutionists ca. 1904, but you are correct that her feelings towards Lenin we're far less harsh than I implied. I may have been misconstruing her with Goldman, another contemporary revolutionary (albeit an anarchist) who I am admittedly far more familiar with.

I remember something like this happening to me once. I played as Ireland with the goal of owning all of Britain. I flipped fascist, slowly built up my army and air force, and then when the UK was distracted in France, I joined the Axis, joined the war, and launched a crap ton of paratroopers into GB. It took a while and a lot of micro, but I eventually managed to capitulate GB entirely by myself. I occupied all the land, and I had inflicted a ton of casualties through encirclements and defending my ports from AI naval invasion spam. When the war was over, I literally could not even get Northern Ireland in the peace deal, which is a core state of Ireland. I solo-ed a major power and ended the war single-handedly, and for my efforts the game awarded me basically no war score. It took a while for the sting of that one to fade.
"I've mastered the abillity of standing so incredible still that i have become invisible to the eye"
That's why you should use player led peace conferences. I hope they fix this massive flaw with the peace deals in the next update. If you directly occupy that land AND have cores on it, it should be significantly cheaper for you to annex than for anybody else.

If you directly occupy land and have cores on it, it *is* much cheaper for you than anybody else. You get a massive cost multiplier on land occupied by a different faction than you, and a cost reduction on claims and cores(even cheaper). However, if you have 6 warscore per turn it doesn't matter how cheap the land is for you. The AI that was grinding casualties for 4 years before you joined the war will get the 1600 points it takes to take your land LONG before you get the 80 you need.
I love how he tries to do impossible challanges and actually do it
Rosa can mean Red so its a reference in that way. Mostly though it refers to a German communist called Rosa Luxemburg. She was a leader of the Spartacists along with Karl Liebknecht as well as an author of Communist philosophy. Hope that helps
The most iconic line "Ironman mode on, Historical Focuses on, lets go!"
I do know what "Rosa Luxembourg" is a reference to, it's one of the few things I remember from GCSE history!
Stalin gave you that peace deal as punishment for consistently calling him "Shtalin" 🤔
Just yesterday I was watching a madman forming EU as Luxemburg by the end of 1942 and today Bitter is also doing some Luxemburg madness, absolutely love it!

This video is actually quite interesting!
Luxembourg has learned the power to stand so still, that they're invisible
Finally... after all these years since I have been here, you finally did it... I can die peacefully now.
Going all in on entrenchment is pretty funny. I did that for my monarchist Lithuania game and the Soviets really had a hard time.
So glad that peace deals are getting a rework
13:09 We were on the verge of "[It ain't much], but it's honest work", we were this close.
When you think about it, the peace conference makes complete sense from a world power point of view. No big power would suddenly want Luxembourg to be that important.
Imagine if real life wars were settled in this game
Man you are so good at this game i wish i had your skill
It would be a cool follow-up if you continued this save and retook the Benelux from Stalin.
Good to see these well balanced peace mechanics working as intended. Hope the new system actually works....

I am not sure if it still works, but I would suggest you try firing the civil war for faster transition and as you are a one province country, it will automatically switch you with no war. Then you have plenty of time to attack the lowland counties and you can use the Dutch East Indies manpower for divisions.
