As an Ukranian watching this video, it felt so wierd and at the same time heartwarming listening to Tommy reading Shevchenko's "Zapovit" in English at the end of the video. Every Ukranian knows that poem word for word in their home language. Thanks for the fun video, Tommy. Very nice👍

And in the great new family, The family of the free, With softly spoken, kindly word Remember also me.
Man, I wanted to cry at the end. That's the mark of a game that tells a great story. You deserve credit too, Tommy. God, I wish people didn't have to die in pointless wars. I wish we could all live happy lives in peace.

EAW would be easier to convince people to play if it wasn't just so damn embarrassing to discuss.

EAW is great in that regard that is it 100% self aware, it works well as a parody and gives actually fun scenerios of nations having those bogged down medival or just simple mindset facing down nations of much more complex or devious ideologies than them. I hope that after the newest Bears and Bandits update more folks will try it, Polar Bear nation added in this is just very fun to play.
I was a huge darkest hour KR fan, thought HOI4 sucked but I gave it a chance and I’m fuckin addicted, kaiserreich+kaiserredux are like the only games I play now
You'll probably not see this, but you should play Bohemia. It has a really big and good tree for no reason. One tip if you do: Do your best in the Hungarian war and take as much land as you can from the Austrians
Feel weird about this event, like its some propaganda shit... I mean... why would the jews support Ukraine if Ukraine was, if not more antisemitic than Russia at that time... I mean even definively more antisemic... Not claiming they are today, but in the 1930s-1940s they totally were... Just look at Babi Yar massacre and many other massacres that took place in Ukraine with the help of Ukrainiens themselves...sometimes even going as far as killing jews in mass themselves without German support...
You dont need it, you have focuses to build lines and you have huge iron in Kharkov. If Poland and Germany sends as much as 5 divisions you can hold. If Austria joins as long as you are fortified, you are holding.
@@londonsmith1990 Least reasonable. Bruh If tedious war is what you want, do what I did, As Germany in Kaiserreich set anyone in western europe, nordic and Russia to go syndicalist(Finland can stay with you) (Switzerland also syndicalist) (CSA wins in America and West indies/India goes radical soc.)
I’m all about deplore, but it should never interfere with gameplay or muddy. What exactly the player should do or want to do. It needs to be clear and to the point.
I played Kaiserreich since before Forest Brothers or long before that idk, but the thing is this used to be my favourite mod but after 3 version update if you wanted to play Communist nation better to play Kaiserredux instead, because the difference is so tremendous, now Third Internationale is weak af in Kaiserreich sadly, back in the day you could influence the world politics so much but now not even Socialist Italy joined Third Internationale, ridiculous, very sad now
I think kaiserreich just messed up austria, I tried everithing and its only possible for me to go down "Status Quo" (Focus) and you cant do anything else

Zapovit
When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.
When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears
Into the deep blue sea
The blood of foes ... then will I leave
These hills and fertile fields -
I'll leave them all and fly away
To the abode of God,
And then I'll pray .... But till that day
I nothing know of God.
Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me.
