    I don't think the wheel is that great of an idea. Kaiserredux just works differently than the base game. And also I GUARANTEE you every ideology gets it's interesting paths. So it's better if you take the Kaiserredux exclusive and most interesting paths and not spin a wheel. I enjoy you going in and doing what's interesting without planning ahead.

      If you like interesting Hoi4 playthroughs I highly recommend Swinceball, he made a couple series involving a wheel and vote system for branching focuses, he would take the percentage from the posts and plug them into a wheel and then spin it, so let's say 25% vote to invade Yugoslavia and 75% vote to ally Yugoslavia when playing as Italy, he would make a wheel that is 75% Alky, and 25% Invade, then it would land on whatever and he would choose that focus. Very interesting way to progress the story, I highly recommend.

    Personally I would just prefer the largest path or the most schizophrenic path to be taken. If there are equally schizo paths, maybe use the wheel then. As an example, let's use Russia. Russia has like 8 different schizo paths, so I would like the wheel to be spun between them. Using this system would get variance (because the Schizo paths are everything from Illegalism to Esoteric Aryanism) while still showcasing how insane KX can be. My worry about the current system is that it will lead to just playing vanilla Kaiserreich content in the KX world. Like landing on the Commune of France and just doing a regular playthrough instead of the Sorelians or Nestor Makhno.
    TL;DR - I think you should spin between the wackier KX exclusive paths to avoid doing the boring KR stuff.

    Criticism: I think wheel is not a bad idea but is not usable for so many countries after all enjoyable content is most important thing. you see absolute Autocratic paths for Persia and Najd are way better ones in fact in the case of Persia even with partial autocratic system is not As good & makes no sense (gameplay) it is true for Napoleonic France as well, other paths are not as good at all not even near it. so I think the wheel is better for generic or almost equal paths 2-use country's leader's image for the video like Red hawk videos which is better in Hoi4 after all the leader's portrait is just over there it is way better then use Arab for a Turkic nation 3-just one Kaiserredux video per week is way a few after all apparently you want play as formable nations as well, 2 videos per week because I love it.

    As someone who did make a comment about you always doing the nationalist routes, I do like the wheel! But I also enjoy when you just do what you want, so perhaps the green/blank spots instead of doing a re-spin of the wheel, that means you just get to play it by ear and go down whatever path you feel like doing? That way while sometimes you go by the wheel, there's that element of still getting to do whatever content you want and not be limited! I think that would be a good balance between.

    I like both, mostly because I get batshit insanely stoned before I watch the videos,
    but maybe a recommendation if its not rude; a console command after the whole game building up, against the world power, to show that your playing tall was like, skillful, just if you arent in a big all out war in the game already? It's somewhat hard to visualize your growth otherwise, and it could be a way to keep the wheel AND make democratic a fun political party to play as, given that they focus mostly on defense and civilian economy buildup as a political party at least in vanilla.
    Of course if you want to keep going whatever is most crazy or war filled instead and drop the wheel entirely, and want my opinion between them both instead, I'd say the most alternative history path/in game unlikely is preferred over the most war filled game. I'd rather see an ethiopian second papacy taking holy-land even though its less than an ethiopian africa unification, especially cuz taking the holy sites back would force the effective use all 3 military branches to succeed. Once again, I'm only saying what I prefer, please dont take it like im stating fact.
