I had no idea there was a Great War mod until now for Hoi4. Well, it wont be a WWII game for a very long time now for me. The K.u.K. will be revamped and ready for the Great War.

The mod is really lackluster imo, it's far too railroaded.

Like, I beat the democratic uprising as the Qing once, and I still got events saying the Qing were defeated and then the revolt just kept spawning over and over even if I kept beating them.

Well it is still in beta so I am sure there are plenty of issues, but since I am cursed with being more interested in the Great War over WWII which doesn't really have any great strategy games available, I have to make do with what I can.

Plus I have to say the events are far better at being roughly in line with historicity, to where it doesn't interfere with major happenings like I have noticed with the base game. And the casualties seem to be alot more balanced, as so far in the base game the casualties seem incredibly skewed in my favor every time im at war

It's been in beta with minimum development for years. The creator decided to make his own WW1 game.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

This is why CK2 needs more child portraits so I can tell ahead of time if my child will grow up to be an abomination and kill them ahead of time. Despite his stats and traits I am very tempted to kill this ugly carrot. Waiting so long for a new male heir may be worth it, perhaps looking for a new wife as well even though Christian women are very rare in Bengal.

that's funny. Male children are dime a dozen in almost every single character I play as. That said, why not just make your realm anatic-cognatic and rid yourself of that trouble?

Thinking about marriages in the game, I can count on one hand how many times I've had female relatives married in normal marriages. I almost always aim for matrilineal except maybe when there's a king who I can obtain an alliance from. Is this normal?

Hmmmm, it doesn’t actually help much. I mean, it grows your family, but it’s very rare that you actually get a title out of it for your dynasty. However, it can be useful if you get some third-in-line son and you press their claim. Otherwise, you’re just marrying off to subpar characters who accept matrilineal marriages.

My mom was horrified when I shared with her how I divorced three wives and seduced my brother's wife.

I told her that considering I've fed people to bears and expelled the Jews, that's one of the least offensive things I've done in this game.

Meet George's kids: Patsy & John (little known fact: John had a twin brother named Andrew!)

This nation was built by immigrants!

And now for the first three States:

Old Dominion
Mountain State
Free State

So, hey, Huskar, tell me how you feel about that last one. Genuinely curious.
