La Veille des Dictateurs

Description
WARNING: can become very chaotic at times depending on how the AIs of each country blend.

Welcome!
This mod explores an interesting scenario. What if the United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia allied with each other on the premise of family? (George V, Wilhelm II, and Nikolai II were all cousins.) This stops France from ever forming alliances with the United Kingdom or Russia, meaning the Great War is waged between these three powerful monarchies and a loose and hastily-formed coalition of France, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. This loose coalition is defeated, and the world is free to be shaped by the British, German, and Russian Empires.

However, troubled times are ahead. It’s been almost twenty years since the guns fell silent across Europe, and many across the defeated nations have had enough time to sulk and rebuild. In the other camp, the monarchs that fought the Great War are in their old age, and few know how long they’ve got left to live. With this situation, many important questions are still left unanswered by 1936;
  • Will the era of their global dominance come to an end with theirs?
  • Will one of the humiliated states seize the burgeoning opportunity to enact revenge?
  • Could another power emerge from an unlikely location?
These are left for you to answer.

Lore and thematic babble aside, this ain't what you'd expect from a screwup like me, but I've poured over three years of sweat, brain matter, and sheer insanity into this mess, and I would appreciate it greatly if you downloaded this. I work on it all the time, and while it certainly isn’t perfect, it is my “passion project”, if you will. Maybe someday I’ll even get the hang of this sort of thing. (Probably not…)
Also, if you, by chance, make a YouTube video or whatnot about this mod, please leave a link for it. (Because sometimes y'all forget.)

ok

@Rafciak4 While I won’t divulge every detail about that at this time, I’ll give you this: Germany was just reworked, and like everything else Germany gets, their neighboring rival wishes to outdo them…

what is the primary focus?

@nabandud Know that your pleas do not fall on deaf ears; while the Ottomans won’t be the primary focus of the next major update (however far in the future that is), they are close to the front of the queue for reworks :)

@Rafciak4 Poland does not exist at game start; while it can be released, and is if Russia pursues certain paths of their focus tree, it has the generic focus tree. I have no plans of giving them one.
However, Galicia and Lodomeria does exist at game start; while it doesn’t have a focus tree either, it does have a modicum of unique content, including the ability to recreate Poland as a formable nation.

does poland have focus tree?

@thanapatyangkaew Thank you, and God Save the King.
On the note of Siam, I do have plans for them in the future. I don't know how distant that future is (and it's complicated by the possibility of a Siamese focus tree in the next DLC), but I have an update slated for the future in which they are fleshed out.
