For the sake of the mod, why not keep spam at a minimum? Or better yet, at the OT?
How far are you into the modding? I'd like to see a new update. I can't wait to play your mod. Played Peace to End All Peace and was kind of down that it was buggy. Hope you can make a more polished remake/version of the other mod.
Happy modding!
Happy modding!
suggestion: make Japan Yellow again. Reason for this is if you plan to have a Soviet Revolution in Russia then Red for Russia is a must. I also just don't like having the Japanese Islands be Red, it just seems awkward on the map.
also, how will the United States turn out considering their was no WWI and the CSA still exists? I loved the second American civil war idea for the US in kaiserreich and it'd be cool if the United States would, do to isolationism, face similar, if less extreme, situations.
Suggested Event(inspired by Kaiserreich):
Vice President Curtis is elected president in the 1936 elections and this causes a rift in the nation, as the Republicans are blamed for the US's waning influence in other parts of the world. Almost as soon as he got put into office, President Curtis is killed when a bomb detonates in the Oval Office and the country falls into chaos. Washington D.C is evacuated after Rioters lay siege to the various government buildings in D.C. Have the CSA claim the whole country for the South and launch a crusade against the shattered Union? Or a extremely paranoid Quebec north of the border? Britain using the war as an excuse to retake Canada? Also, be interesting to see a new National Populist leader take charge of the remnants of Union and lead the Nation down a dark path of autocracy, making his enemy list and forming the real world equivalent of Nazi Germany?

why would it be communist. I can't see a communist Japan being formed in a world where WWI never even happened.
If there was no First World War, and Britain had no interest in dealing with the United States, it is possible that the Anglo-Japanese Naval Alliance would have continued. Japan would remain relatively democratic since they could rely on the British alliance. This would fit well into the three alliances.
British Commonwealth and Japan
France, Russia, CSA etc.
Germany, USA, Austria, etc.
Just a suggestion...

May I suggest this alliance scheme:
British Commonwealth, Japan, Confederacy
German Empire, Austrian Empire, and Ottoman Empire
Russia, Serbia, France
No US alliances at game start due to isolationism.
I guess I am one of those people who doesn't think Britain would have allied with the Confederacy. Also, I figured the British/Confederate alliance has been done to death. That was why the initial idea was to have the Confederates allied with the French.
Thing about it is, there would be no reason for the CSA to ally with France. During the American Civil War, The CSA tried to get the British Empire to support them but Britain refused to get involved due to the CSA's controversial slavery practices, which had been outlawed in the British Commonwealths.
So, considering the CSA after gaining its independence from the USA managed to reform the economy and abolish slavery like the Union and Britain already had, as well as granting every African in the South secondary citizenship rights(as their citizenship rights were historically second class in the Post Civil War US), then it is likely that they would have joined Britain some time after its independence.
Because of this, France would not be so likely to want to form an alliance with the CSA.
And having America in the Central Power's Alliance is just wrong! It makes no sense from an historical standpoint as the US, considering the CSA won and WWI never happened, as well as no Monroe Doctrine, would be even more isolationist then they were in the historical great depression/WWII era.
If you consider the facts that France and Russia are allies by 1936, then an alliance with Serbia is not an unrealistic option for the two countries, as Russia already had an alliance with Serbia.
Finally, The Ottomans were basically willing to support/ally with German Empire by default, as the two nations, along with The Austria-Hungarian Empire, were similar in politics and viewpoints.
Hoped this helps the mod dev team make a decision for alliances. Personally, I'd like to see a confederate-Japan-British alliance in the game, as it makes sense.
I dont know if this will screw up the balence of the game, but what if there was an event that placed Canada at a crossroads: Leave the commonwealth to avoid a European war, or stay as planed. When Canada leaves, they will aproch the Americans and also ask them to leave their German allies to form a North American coalition, a new alliance. This will be a very democratic alliance and an Anti-Colonial/Anti-European interfearence movement that may spread to South America, and mabe even given sympathy throughout other parts of the world. This also may give the Chinese the help that they wanted. Though, like in Kaiserreich, this will all be events with choices for the various nations and could lead to several things like European intervention, or even flat out refusal from America to join Canada and even an invasion of Canada which leads America to become more authoritarian.
Fair enough, I just figured that the early discussions had France allied with the Confederates so I was going along with that.
Again, Why would the US join the Central Powers? Also, I think you mean Quebec, as in the mod's time line the US occupied Canada, but gave back Quebec because they were impressed by the brave defense of the Quebec region of Canada, which held out til the end of the war.
Most likely scenario(considering Quebec is still supported by the British Common Wealth) is that if a second American Civil War erupts, Quebec will cooperate with A British Led invasion of the Occupied Canada region of the US.
If not, then I gather that Quebec will become very authoritarian and build up its army in preparation for war with the US, and use the second ACW as their means to liberate the rest of Canada. Recommend this as a really long event chain leading up to the ACW, kind of like Kaiserreich's.
Also, why would Quebec, Who lost all of the rest of Canada to the US suddenly ask to join them? Also, to do that the US would have to be more interventionist and this alliance would put at odds any neutrality the US already had with the British and CSA, who would see this as provocative. This would give the CSA a reason for war, as a Quebec-US alliance would be seen as a joint effort to pool the two nations resources together so that they can wipe the CSA off the map and dominate North America; And Britain would not like it as Quebec is seen as the last enclave of British dominance in the NA part of the world, and their ally would be open to a US-Quebec invasion. Not a wise strategy on the US's Part nor logical for either Quebec or US.
Finally, how does invading the remnants of the British colonies in NA result in an Authoritarian US? The US has invaded plenty of independent countries and stayed democratic.

To make an example of why it(USA) would not just become Authoritarian, just slightly more so, I'd like to reference an RPG called FALLOUT 1. In it, the US annexes Canada to use the nation's resources to help them drive out the Communist Chinese Forces occupying Alaska.
After this, the US ruthlessly crushes any manner of peaceful or violent revolts in Canada and cracks down on Free Speech in US proper, making claims like "We had to do it, because the Commies are a threat to our nation, etc."
So, the US in this mod could have events dealing with the annexation of Quebec, before and after.

well, from previous posts it looked like they were droping the idea of the US invading Canada. Plus because Canada is made up of english loyalists, the US would have a huge problem keeping the population from revolting.
