May i ask why so many play kaiserreich?

The real question is why don't more people play? And why hasn't a tv show or movie been made about it yet?
P.S. I'm thinking Joss Whedon as director

Just as long as its not Michael Bay, as he'd give Oswald Mosley superpowers and give Wrangel nuclear fists.
 
Great :) I tried it just recently and i must say I'm impressed with the amount of events each country has been given. I'm Playing a lot as Finland.
Are there some historical events or will Soviet never attack Finland in this mod? I'm missing the combat results, is there a way to add it to the mod?

If Soviet is created they may go for Finland, but you can also help Russia against the soviets to gain Karelia :)

Kaiserreich would - realistically - not work as a film. At least not one. To tackle this question seriously, I believe a television programme is the right choice for something as complex as Kaiserreich.

If you did a film, your scope would be very limited. And you'd have to spend time explaining the backstory, which would take up about 30-45 minutes of the film, and even then - unless you are planning a 12 hour long film - you could only pick one aspect of the story (i.e. one country), to keep the story focused.

So I'd reckon a television programme would do the trick much more nicely, and it would allow you to dedicate attention to details, which each episode focusing on one or two things. Take a real example: Game of Thrones. There are a lot of storylines going on at once in that story. It's something that works well in a book (each chapter changes focus and setting, but within the same universe), but it does not work quite as well on film. The first season of this programme suffered from each episode's need to deal with every storyline, while the second season 'fixed' this by being more exclusive per episode.

The same is the issue with The Lord of the Rings films, where the first has a single thread of a story (and it works excellent), while the latter two films change in pacing and tone, as we move between the three main storylines.

And add to that; Kaiserreich pretty much has far more storylines going on than either of those two works. Although - perhaps - not as detailed.

If presented well enough, perheps History Channel would make a series for us!

No, I've had remarkable few CTDs with 1.4. Are you sure that you're running the right version of DH?

Thanks a ton for asking that question. After installing the beta patch 1.4 everything seems to be working perfectly. I've been bummed out about not being able to play my favorite mod and I can now. Rad.
Now all I need to do is re-unite America under the flag of the worker.

Good Luck :)
 
I had a hilarious bug in my recent game, Scandinavia became a syndicalist regime, but without Denmark. However, despite this, Christian X was head of state and Stauning was head of government of both Denmark and Scandinavia.

This forced Stauning into a weird position, where he had to declare war on himself, because as the British declared war on Denmark to invade my German Empire, Scandinavia was brought into the war as well.
 
So yesterday I left from my PC for around an hour to go work-out. And I come back thinking "Well I have been away from Kaiserreich for around an hour, so before I die from my addiction better go keep playing." So I start up Darkest Hour and press play,ect.

In case you can't read the error it says something about Infantry Divisions equipment.
 
Just click ignore.
