I have been thinking about making this ever since I saw that the Great War scenario only lasts until 1920. My idea is to extend the scenario to 1963, as well as make a broad series of events and decisions making up a nice historical experience and several possibilities for a post-WWI world.
A few ideas in my head:
German victory
Harsh terms selected
- France gets a chauvinist (most probable name for fascism if it rises in France) government which starts making demands against Germany and Europe. The (German) player can choose whether to back off and throw the proverbial bulldog that is France some equally proverbial liver snaps, thus avoiding bloodshed at the price of creating a VERY insecure balance of power and keeping a dictatorial state around, or to start a second world war and potentially erase Germany's most ancient foe from the map.
- France gets a Communist government hellbent on revenge. This would be very similar to KR in most ways, with several major war scares, the (German or French) player being able to choose whether to declare war or hold off.
Mild terms selected
- France and Britain keep their democratic governments in place, and continue to be hostile to Germany. This will create a very uneasy (almost Cold War-esque) peace, but will most likely not lead to another world war.
- France goes monarchist again, putting Jean III on the throne. This can lead either to a 'war of the houses' between the French and Germans, or a slow rapprochement between the two powers.
Soft terms selected
- Britain keeps its democratic government in place, although the French and the Italians aren't that lucky. The two remaining (semi-) democratic powers in Europe grow closer and closer, and eventually team up to defeat the dictators in France and Italy.
- France and Britain both keep their democracies, leading to either a very early European Union or the rather original idea of a non-ideological WWII.
As for an Entente victory, I don't know much about their plans for Germany, but depending upon the extent of the victory, we can have either a continuing monarchy, a republic like the Weimar Republic from real history, a communist Germany, or a full partition of the state into either blocks or its constituent states, only Prussia being divided.
I also have ideas for an Austro-Hungarian collapse, the future of German internal politics, and so on. Obviously I (almost) have the historical knowledge needed, but I don't have much knowledge nor experience with modding. Since this is a commonly-spoken idea, I really hope people will join in and help me with this mod, so that it will be any good. I can do events, ministers, techteams, leaders, and revolt.txt modding, but don't know much about the rest, so obviously what I'm asking is quite much. Even if you can't help, feel free to just brainstorm and pitch ideas; that's why this thread was started in the first place.
