I think a peace event fired with Italy capitulating due to the fact that in a realistic sense, with Russia gone and now Italy gone, you have one gargantuan front on the German border to defend with uk, France, and america, but now you have this mountainous front in the Alpes plus massive areas of the Mediterranean to contest now that Italy has fallen. The fact the ottomans are still around makes the situation untenable.

@williamcrawford7621

Жыл бұрын

Plus Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, and Romania all fell too. So basically, the central powers have already defeated 5 countries, two of which were majors, while the Entente has failed to capitulate a single country. The writing was already on the wall. Dragging it out would only have cost more lives, just like how Germany surrendered without having to be invaded or the Entente having to march all the way to Berlin

i was listening to a sabaton song about ww1 and then you did this wtf am i blessed? ps. it was attack of the dead men

...Should probably watch through the video before commenting, but I'm irrationally annoyed by seeing the game describe Austria-Hungary as an "Authoritarian Regime", and was already in a shaky mood, so I feel the need to rant. The empire (and the German Empire too, tbh) was way more decentralised than modern countries. (And what meaning does "authoritarian" have beyond a buzz-word if it doesn't mean "centralised"?) To give an example from both empires; In WW1, Ludwig III of Bavaria hoped that Bavarian victories in the war would give him leverage in an eventual peace deal to keep Bavaria powerful enough to rival Prussia, to keep Germany from becoming too centralised around Prussia. Even in America, one of the most decentralised western countries (due to the federal system), it'd seem pretty ridiculous for any of the states to have enough power to rival the national government. And in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Emperor had little enough authority in Hungary that the Hungarians only had to pay taxes to their nobles, who in turn were tax-exempt. Imagine if modern countries just didn't tax ~40% of the population...

It uses the claims system to decide who gets what in the main peace deal. If you somehow go to war afterwards, it uses the vanilla contribution score. I played Sweden and I got all of Finland despite joining 3 months before the end of the war.

The attack of the dead men wasn't just a reference to sabaton it actually happened look it up

When you play this mod again, make subs. They are incredibly overpowered in this mod. And I mean it. Basically nothing can attack them. Depth charges are a 1917 tech. They just massacre surface ships if you set them to attack at high risk. Normally I don't support sub spam, but it's the only realistic way to beat the British navy is with them
