Good morning guys! I would like to do a rework of Italy, to make it similar (but, still, in my original way) to what is Italy in HOI4 Kaiserreich.
I am watching a gameplay of an Italian guy like me, and I think it's awesome.
Nevertheless, I was one of the people expecting a rework even for Darkest Hour, but nothing happened, so... Here we are.
My ideas are:
- Socialist Italy like it is represented in the new versions
- The papal State and Two Sicilies are allied, of course
- An Italian republic which can turn Nationalist. Rather than taking the D'Annunzio - Balbo path, I saw that in the ministers' file of the Italian Socialist Republic of Kaiserreich, in the "National Populist" part, there are people like Farinacci and Starace, who were fascists in OTL and so have remained in Kaiserreich. So we can work on what we have.
- I maybe wouldn't add Sardinia, it looks like useless in DH.
- Austria must have puppets like in original games, but they must be allied each other (so, we must also rework Ausgleich to break these alliances)
- I would not add the Republic of Venice insurrection because with DH mechanics it can end up in a stalemate or steamrolled.
- Papal state: historically, its independence was guaranteed by French kingdom. Would we add it?
Edit 08/05/20
- Liberated Britain should be reworked because they have no military leaders
- A nationalist Italy could ally with Iron Guard Romania
Edit 13/05/20
- A rework of the leaders of some countries must be done (It's unacceptable that puppet Carlist Spain or puppet Great Britain have a few leaders just because the proud/perfidious Canadians didn't liberate them)
- Adding much more claims, like the Venetian "Stato da Mar" (in Venetian language, it means "Overseas possessions), distinguishing between cores and claims
- The event-path should aim towards a strong opposition against Austria and Germany, like Hitler did with France and Britain (and Mussolini too)
- A possible alliance with Savinkov's Russia, besides Iron Guard Romania, in anti-German function
Edit 15/05/20:
- I didn't mention, but I plan to give to the Papal State Rome, Anzio, Perugia, Ancona and Bologna. This is to avoid a Socialist Italy to have too much IC and manpower
- A possible crisis can be the battle of Bologna, and not the Battle of Anzio. If a war eruptes, Austria should intervene for they guarantee (yes, to add) the independence of Two Sicilies, in some way. Still, Germany could be "untouched" (hard to believe that they wouldn't intervene to stop Syndicalism)
- Rework of tech teams, related to their geographical belonging!
I am getting random ideas. I'll write them down on this post as soon as I get them.
I am good at eventmaking, I can learn about other stuff.
I am not good with graphic stuff, we can import from DH Vanilla.
Let me know if somebody would join.
Of course also the Kaiserreich team would be credited, as they gave us this awesome base
