Kaiserreich Multiplayer Submod
Multiplayer Optimisation & Balance submod for Kaiserreich
Created and maintained by the Kaiserreich Weekly(?) discord server.[discord.gg]
New/Overhauled Content:
- Germany’s Paternal Autocrat path (Kurt von Schleicher) has received a substantial overhaul. Upon completing the focus Schleicher’s Kamarilla, a series of decisions will be unlocked to negate some of the path’s biggest weaknesses over time, such as it’s low party popularity, and penalties to production cap and consumer goods. This will culminate in a decision to establish the so-called Wehrstaat, a combination of army and state, where the needs of the army are made the top priority of Germany.
- The United Kingdom has been rebalanced for multiplayer. The focus times have all been shortened, the initial political events have had their effects reduced, the British Reconstruction decisions have been made significantly easier to get through, and the foreign policy tree now has an option to create the Imperial Federation; giving them decisions to take control of the armed forces, annex, and core Canada, the West Indies, South Africa, and Australasia, albeit with a penalty to max factory slots, resources, and recruitable manpower
- The CNT-FAI (Socialist Spain) has recieved new focuses and modifiers for their army tree, as well as new & rebalanced advisors, new generals, and new country flags & names.
General Changes:
