The idea of the British Monarch escaping to Canada is kinda similar to how the kings of Portugal escaped for Brazil and ruled their empire from there for a while
And very nearly Queen Elizabeth II (or rather, Princess Elizabeth at the time) and her sister, though their mother, the Queen Consort to King George VI, ended up nixing that idea.
In case you don't know Quill, the main difference between mainline socialist thought and syndicalism is the questions of political and economic organization following coming to power. Syndicalism generally will push for more democratic systems, the exceptions being authoritarian versions of it which is closer to stalinist conception or communism. Syndicalism also builds on the power of worker and trade unions for economic organization rather than top down planned economies. Irl examples of syndicalism would be the anarchist syndicalist societies and communes in Catalonia during and before the Spanish civil war.
I know in WW2 the Dutch monarchy escaped to Canada. Apparently the Canadians made a hospital floor dutch territory so that the members of the monarchy could give birth to children with heirs to the dutch throne.
I hate 1 thing about this mod: the random events (that you can't see coming) often drain your political power and that can mess up all your plans and destroy short and long term strategies, which in a strategy game is horrendous... They should make a submod that has less of these pp draining random events...
Quill, if you want to make Canada into an absolute monarchy, you need to ensure that C-7 doesn't pass, that will give you the ability to abolish parliament. you also need to not support your elected privy councillors when the new king comes in.
It really is amazing to see how far this mod has come since starting out as a simple alt history mod for Hearts of Iron 2. Still love to play the Darkest Hour version every now and again.

Yes been looking forward to this for ages! Canada is my fave country to play in kaiserreich, bit of advice if you reconquer the UK don't take the option to continue playing as them as the mechanics aren't there yet
Not getting involved in the Anglo-Afghan war is a mistake. Early game, army experience is precious, especially given how rubbish the base divisions are for Canada. It is the same reason why sending volunteers to fight in the Spanish civil war in vanilla is such a good idea even though Spain doesn't really make an impact in the war.
You can actually get more experience by sending lend-lease than by actually participating in the Spanish Civil War, as the war will last longer if you don't personally send divisions.
it's not a 'sh' sound. The German 'ch' sounds don't really exist in English. In the case of Reich it's a voiceless palatal fricative. It's a kind of hiss made at the back of the throat.
"Ch is read as H in Holmes" I don't know how you pronounce Holmes, but the German CH sounds is closer to the Spanish J (as in Jalapeno or Tijuana) than to the English H.
Battalions are the smaller icons, the support line are more than likely company strength, a whole line of battalions forms a regiment, then you see the division make up window is segmented down the middle, once u have opened enough regiments then Brigades come into the picture.
Actually quill, Mass Assault is one of the best doctrines for a country with low manpower, since one branch gives you an extra 5% recruitable pop. Mobile warfare also does this, so the main choice is whether you want a more mechanized army, or infantry heavy.
Specifically, the country is controlled by a congress composed of representatives of different labor unions. These labor unions don't just lobby for the workers they represent, they actually control the industry their members work in - syndicalism being a form of libertarian socialism. Edit: Also, the name derives from the fact that "syndicat" is French for "union"
Ignis Domini well it depends really if it's libertarian or not, this mod seems to use a mix of Marxist syndicalism where there is a central government with a syndicalist economy and anarcho-syndicalism
2:15 stretching all over to east prussia or what is known as kalilingrad now. or maybe even a bit beyond it... would be logical to take some land if they won...
not really. that assassination was not a reason for ww1 it was just a poor excuse for it. they were quite happy to enter the war and surely they would be very happy to take some land away if winning.
yes yes but mostly you weaken them by taking their colonies (france, england) and some of their mainland too. fine perfect justification if you want but not the main reason.
Unless it was changed from base HOI4 capital ships and aircraft are all you need in naval warfare. Rofl stomp large fleets with aircraft and protect convoys (or protect against enemy convoys) with your navy.
Events and National Focuses and generally content. That all focussed on the 2000 start date for now however, even though there is a contributor doing some stuff for the modern era as well. I sadly cannot really give any specifics though, as I hate making promises that then don't work for one reason or another.
I find it weird that you made focus trees for Switzerland and Ethiopia (Ethiopia did deserve a focus tree though) but not secondary powers like Canada, Australia and Brazil
Canada and Australia are rather uninteresting and I don't have the source material for Brazil due to the low anglification of Portuguese-language outlets and reports. With Ethiopia, I had some much appreciated help and with Switzerland I had access to first-hand reports in my German mother tongue.
I think it would be more accurate to say that Bulgaria has a partial one. It's less than 1/3 of the size of Canada's for example. I imagine that will change in the future but they can only do so much at a time.
Quill18 I'd like to forewarn you when you retake Britain that part I feel is still very WIP for them and I don't recommend doing it while in the middle of a war
Fuck yeah this mod it awesome. Italy (Federation) is a very interesting nation because there are so many different options for it. You can also essentially recreate the nation of "Big Brother" from 1984 as Britain.
good thing you decided at the last moment to play kaiserreich on regular difficulty...because this mod is unplayable in veteran difficulty...even the devs of the mod said so...
I'm not 100% sure, but I think government House in Victoria, BC is home to the monarch queen Elizabeth if she ever needs to live outside of England. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_House_(British_Columbia)
There are also properties in Ottawa and Quebec City that would likely be used, but any of the Lieutenant-Governor's homes could potentially be taken over for such purposes. Crown/Government ownership can get murky at times in Canada.
And if, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
tombking34 You're right. I assumed it was the German version of the East Asia companies which most European colonization nations used. I should have thought about the Germans don't call themself Allemagne, it's the French word for them
the only thing that really bothers me about this mod is that my coutnry (Argentina) is La Plata for some reason instead of Argentina. La Plata is a city in our country, and nothing more than that. Sometimes a part of our coutnry is called "Cuenca del Plata" because the river is called "Rio de la Plata", but calling the country La Plata doesn't make much sense tbh, even though ofc it encompases more than just Argentina since it has annexed Uruguay and Paraguay.
AzelasEM It's just an old name for Argentina and if I'm not mistaken is an actually accepted name for it, it's just that everyone calls it Argentina and the reason it's called La Plata here is because it controls most if not all the territories of the former Viceroyalty of La Plata
It is not an accepted name, we are República Argentina and nothing else. That's why it kinda bothers me tbh. But then again it's a minor gripe, it doesn't take away from this mod being absolutely fantastic :D
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroyalty_of_the_R%C3%ADo_de_la_Plata en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Provinces_of_the_Rio_de_la_Plata Artículo 35 Las denominaciones adoptadas sucesivamente desde 1810 hasta el presente, a saber: Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata; República Argentina, Confederación Argentina, serán en adelante nombres oficiales indistintamente para la designación del Gobierno y territorio de las provincias, empleándose las palabras "Nación Argentina" en la formación y sanción de las leyes. Learn your history. Learn your constitution. That is Article 35 of your own damn constitution. Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata is often shortened to just La Plata for brevity's sake. Tired of nationalism blinding people to the history of their own damn nation.
The idea of the British Monarch escaping to Canada is kinda similar to how the kings of Portugal escaped for Brazil and ruled their empire from there for a while
Canada was the first stop for the British gvmt and monarchy in exile just-in-case IRL too.
Nukleon true that (É verdade)
in ww2 the queen of the netherlands escaped to canada while it was under nazi occupation
And very nearly Queen Elizabeth II (or rather, Princess Elizabeth at the time) and her sister, though their mother, the Queen Consort to King George VI, ended up nixing that idea.
Or like Code Geass, where Napoleon won and the british fell back to Canada, took over the Americas and became the world superpower.
I love how much attention Kaiserreich is getting now, it genuinely is an excellent mod
BriefMortal777 one of the best alternative history mod if not the best
Too bad it crashes for me everytime i try to play it with friends

Basile James and ever year since they send us a bunch of flowers in thanks
Northraider123 Yep
This mod is so much better than HOI4 itself...
Can confirm this is basicly the only reason to buy HoI4 x'D
I hate 1 thing about this mod: the random events (that you can't see coming) often drain your political power and that can mess up all your plans and destroy short and long term strategies, which in a strategy game is horrendous... They should make a submod that has less of these pp draining random events...
I don't think so. There are some stable nations, others are not.
Marco Conrad that's a good think
This mod is supposed to be based around events.
HOLY MOLY, THIS WAS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR! THANKS QUILL!
- Freierish - I am tired of the communist and Fascist states also !
Quill, if you want to make Canada into an absolute monarchy, you need to ensure that C-7 doesn't pass, that will give you the ability to abolish parliament. you also need to not support your elected privy councillors when the new king comes in.
Never played this mod before, but this looks really interesting. Excited for this LP Quill.
It really is amazing to see how far this mod has come since starting out as a simple alt history mod for Hearts of Iron 2. Still love to play the Darkest Hour version every now and again.

I truly look forward to see how this series evolve, keep up the good work as always.
I'm here... Finishing my work at 3 AM.
I'm about to sleep, when suddenly...
***New Notification: Quill18 Uploaded***
Who needs sleep anyway?
This is quite the coincidence.
Yes been looking forward to this for ages! Canada is my fave country to play in kaiserreich, bit of advice if you reconquer the UK don't take the option to continue playing as them as the mechanics aren't there yet

glad you kept all events on, the flavor text is great
Just got HOI4, and I love this mod! Keep it coming!
This is awesome and really fun/interesting to watch. Can't wait for more, cheers Quill as always
Welt is pronounced like "Velt"
and reich is pronouced "raish"
it's not a 'sh' sound. The German 'ch' sounds don't really exist in English. In the case of Reich it's a voiceless palatal fricative. It's a kind of hiss made at the back of the throat.
"Ch is read as H in Holmes"
I don't know how you pronounce Holmes, but the German CH sounds is closer to the Spanish J (as in Jalapeno or Tijuana) than to the English H.
@zerbla Isn't it more of a ch sound. Like loch or chutzpah?
Yes, I completely forgot about the Spanish J. I think the ch in Reich is essentially the same sound.
Woo - I waited so long for this since you announced it weeks ago.
Quill18 playing Kaiserreich? It's like Christmas morning!
Thank you so much for making this series mate! Love your HoI content!
Really looking forward to this series
"And the CBC who doesn't love the CBC."
This made me chuckle.
So excited for this series!
I hope you play much more of this Quill
Battalions are the smaller icons, the support line are more than likely company strength, a whole line of battalions forms a regiment, then you see the division make up window is segmented down the middle, once u have opened enough regiments then Brigades come into the picture.
8 uploads in 24 hours? I guess sleep is for the weak.
I do love the little wars. Keep an an eye out for the axis forming.
This looks incredibly entertaining.
Actually quill, Mass Assault is one of the best doctrines for a country with low manpower, since one branch gives you an extra 5% recruitable pop. Mobile warfare also does this, so the main choice is whether you want a more mechanized army, or infantry heavy.
The house Quill is referring to in BC is called Hatley Castle and is located in Colwood (a suburb in Victoria). This is actually where I got married!
Its so fun to watch this in 0.25X your voice is amazing
Sin dic a list, is how you pronounce it,'it's basically control of the country via labor unions btw
Specifically, the country is controlled by a congress composed of representatives of different labor unions. These labor unions don't just lobby for the workers they represent, they actually control the industry their members work in - syndicalism being a form of libertarian socialism.
Edit: Also, the name derives from the fact that "syndicat" is French for "union"
Ignis Domini well it depends really if it's libertarian or not, this mod seems to use a mix of Marxist syndicalism where there is a central government with a syndicalist economy and anarcho-syndicalism
Marxist syndicalism is more properly called DeLeonism.
Ignis Domini yeah I know but i wasn't sure if you knew
All in all, a fancy way of saying "communist".
Yes Quill, Weltkrieg means world war in english! "Welt" is the german word for "world" and "Krieg" is german for "war"
Man, quill trying to pronounce German gets me every time.
Also something I missed and you missed too with mass assault, if you take the right side (mass mobilisation) you get more population!
GmbH(Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) stands for "company with limited liability".
Keep reading all those popups out loud. Really good content!
2:15 stretching all over to east prussia or what is known as kalilingrad now. or maybe even a bit beyond it... would be logical to take some land if they won...
not really. that assassination was not a reason for ww1 it was just a poor excuse for it. they were quite happy to enter the war and surely they would be very happy to take some land away if winning.
yes yes but mostly you weaken them by taking their colonies (france, england) and some of their mainland too.
fine perfect justification if you want but not the main reason.
i could say the same for you but i wont descend to your level
I know I'm looking ahead of this a bit, but I think gameplay of Serbia, Poland, Mongolia, and Russia would be very interesting to watch.
"Who doesn't love the CBC?"
Ummm, me and everyone I know xD
Don't forget to outright annex New England and Upstate New York. You can get core on them and that's a TON of extra manpower
>Plays game about Germany winning WW1
>Plays as CANADA
The music pack of kaiserreich is also freaking awesome. Lieb Vaterland~
Unless it was changed from base HOI4 capital ships and aircraft are all you need in naval warfare. Rofl stomp large fleets with aircraft and protect convoys (or protect against enemy convoys) with your navy.
I love this mod I just wish the multiplayer worked as well as the single player!
Intriguing.
I am. But that doesn't really matter as this is Kaiserreich and I love me some Kaiserreich :)
Cool being recognized though!
Events and National Focuses and generally content. That all focussed on the 2000 start date for now however, even though there is a contributor doing some stuff for the modern era as well.
I sadly cannot really give any specifics though, as I hate making promises that then don't work for one reason or another.
I find it weird that you made focus trees for Switzerland and Ethiopia (Ethiopia did deserve a focus tree though) but not secondary powers like Canada, Australia and Brazil
Canada and Australia are rather uninteresting and I don't have the source material for Brazil due to the low anglification of Portuguese-language outlets and reports.
With Ethiopia, I had some much appreciated help and with Switzerland I had access to first-hand reports in my German mother tongue.
If you would be interested, I could help you with Brazil as brazilian politics and history is something I study intently (because im brazilian)
this emphasis in syn-dic-alism goes on the 'dic' part. And total-ism is just like saying the word total, with -ism added to it.
Going down the tank path, you can eventually unlock desperate defence, and then you gain much more manpower.
Not every country has a custom focus tree, but the devs' goal is for that to be the case.
Does Bulgaria have one? I am asking for a friend... :)
thefaso Romania does, but the Balkans seem to be one of the unfinished areas.
thefaso yes Bulgaria does have one
I think it would be more accurate to say that Bulgaria has a partial one. It's less than 1/3 of the size of Canada's for example. I imagine that will change in the future but they can only do so much at a time.
quick note, the game is made to be played on "normal"
Yeahhhhhh! Maybe also try Mil Dawn someday??
Quill18 I'd like to forewarn you when you retake Britain that part I feel is still very WIP for them and I don't recommend doing it while in the middle of a war
I was really hoping you were going to pick Canada!
Actually, Crete does not have a focus tree in Kaiserreich, making it 100% unplayable.
Don't Forget to also help your ally France retake their mainland from the commune.
Oliver hasn't lived in that house since season 2.
After this let's play, try out Austria and rebuild the empire.
You also have a squadron of light ships ported at Sind in India.
The X-men mansion probably isn't what your thinking of because it's actually a naval college in the city of Victoria
Fuck yeah this mod it awesome. Italy (Federation) is a very interesting nation because there are so many different options for it. You can also essentially recreate the nation of "Big Brother" from 1984 as Britain.
The king is dead, long live the king! May the king reclaim our homeland!
Whenever modding is an available feature for a game, someone will literally remake the entire game.
About time!! ;-)

Quill18! Kaiserreich! INSTANT THUMBS UP!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait, Edward VIII was known as Prince David before he became King. But then again British Royalty always have a long list of names to choose from.
quill doesnt know where memel is
He doesn't know its name
good thing you decided at the last moment to play kaiserreich on regular difficulty...because this mod is unplayable in veteran difficulty...even the devs of the mod said so...
Quill can you do an Australia run at some point?
im pretty sure veteran breaks all the events and focusus and such because the AI always says no. not sure if that was an old version of this though.
henk detank it breaks the whole mod because you wont get political power
Syndicalist are a like work force representatives, close to the people, sort of union 👍
A left wing ideologically orientated union
Ain't nobody fuckin with Ma Clique
Play as the Exiled France
I'm not 100% sure, but I think government House in Victoria, BC is home to the monarch queen Elizabeth if she ever needs to live outside of England.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_House_(British_Columbia)
There are also properties in Ottawa and Quebec City that would likely be used, but any of the Lieutenant-Governor's homes could potentially be taken over for such purposes. Crown/Government ownership can get murky at times in Canada.
It's all about tanks. Super tank divisions can win you impossible war
thanks god finally!!!!
The German Borders have actually changed, they took over a part of the former French Maghreb states, so it probably wasn't a white peace.
Who doesn't love the C.B.C.? Subway...
You should try and support the American union state defeat the syndicates during the civil war
Napoleon the strategist Or just conquer everybody. Building an army of space marines with no manpower and a continent of industry is great fun.
Won't he get Alaska and New England for free anyway?
Nah, support the PSA. The AUS is a weakling.
too late for this I know but its Veltkrieg (like well but with a V instead of a W and T at the end)
And if, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Be careful quill a new update for kaiserreich is coming out in the next month and it will ruin your save
10/10 mod, would definitely lead america through 3 civ wars and create the Douglass Dictatorship again.
You should try BlackIce
Invading Britain is really, really not very hard quill!!
You have some focuses that boast your oil supplies
Yes.
*quill18* _Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia_ - *The Princess Bride.* 😀 ❤️ from 🇦🇺
YES!
Yes. I do like trains
AlgOstAsia GmbH means Allemagne East Asia Company. Allemagne meaning Germany
It's actually the "General East Asian Company" according to the wiki: kaiserreich.wikia.com/wiki/Allgemeine_Ostasiatische_Gesellschaft
tombking34 You're right. I assumed it was the German version of the East Asia companies which most European colonization nations used. I should have thought about the Germans don't call themself Allemagne, it's the French word for them
YESS KAISERREICH
Starve the Union with your subs!
Unless an update has fixed this playing on veteran difficultly breaks the game. As it changes the rate of pp generation
better than vanilla.
cant support multicore, yes kaiserreich is best
You should've not taken a focus. Georgie boi dies early in the game
the only thing that really bothers me about this mod is that my coutnry (Argentina) is La Plata for some reason instead of Argentina. La Plata is a city in our country, and nothing more than that.

It is not an accepted name, we are República Argentina and nothing else. That's why it kinda bothers me tbh.
But then again it's a minor gripe, it doesn't take away from this mod being absolutely fantastic :D
