Suffering with the Emperor in Austria-Hungary... 

That's really good to know! I'll give it a try next time!

When are the diplomatic crises happening? Are they only for the 1910 scenario or both, I have recently played historical US in the 1914 scenario up until 1936 and I have played Germany(Kaiserreich post war path) in 1914 several times too but in both there weren't diplomatic crises

Fifth Rome UK path is the most cursed but one of my favorites

That is really good to know! Give it a try next time!​@@Bitt3rSteel

@@ivrugethey aren't guaranteed to happen, a lot of it is RNG or dependent on what the AI decides to do. For example Ottomans can demand Egypt, Germany can either allow them to invade in return for resources or outright refuse, if they refuse and Ottomans invade anyway there can be a little proxy war there

Yeah, that'sy experience after this run

@@Bitt3rSteelI was asking around on their discord page and the mods said the German AI is currently being fixed because the entente is just too powerful

@@targaryenedits the German AI was bugging were it would move all of its troops off the russian front and then back onto the front and it was really dumb lol

@@AnotherRandomPerson993 yeh happened to me 4 times in a single game and also the German ai refuses to surrender , so recently I have been fighting the entente till 1921 with 30 million casualties 😂

Yeah I used them a lot but they are crap now

Sadly, I discovered that... Yeah...

Hotzendorf and his military genius will surely prevail over Cadorna at the Isonzo!

@@Bitt3rSteel Cadorna's a dumbass so that cant be too hard

thankyou man ive been going crazy on figuring out how

@@Bitt3rSteel the 12th time's the charm!

And do you get a hidden focus tree?

I mean Franco won his war against the Moroccans and gave them the land anyway.

@@johnnotrealname8168 And just at France post-WWII. They won, but technically lost Algeria and Indochina. Speaking of Indochina, while not a major power, that describes how victory was for Ho Chi Minh.

@@emberfist8347 Well militarily they largely won in Algeria but society was disintegrating and keeping the territory began to be meaningless as they were not French (The Algerians were really brutal and arguably killed as many of their own as the French did.). Indochina was similar but was a Conventional War not a Guerilla War. If the U.S. gave more aid then they could have won but yeah.

Austria-Hungary is indeed one if the countries of all time

@@manno_ut_nitherlanda Yep, it definitely is one of the countries of all time.

Thanks, this helped me in my playtrough

No

same (almost)

Wrong. Austria and Hungary both had their own seperate national armies the Landwehr and Honvédség respectively. They also had a shared army, namely the k.u.k

Not after a victory. It is historical somewhat for Italy. While everyone likes to claim that the Treaty of Versailles caused World War II because of Germany's terms, in reality, it did cause Italy to ultimately join the Axis as they were upset of having bled so much for so little and not getting the land they were promised by the Entente when they joined. Part of this was their own fault as they left in a huff at the conference drafting the new continent and everyone decided Italy forfeited its claim as a result even when they returned.

To be fair, I kind of agree with that. Had it not been for the stresses of WW1, I think Russia would have made the transition to constitutional monarchy much more easily than Austria-Hungary. It would certainly not have been an easy road, but it had far fewer obstacles to progress than the Austrian path. Austria-Hungary really had a uniquely bad mix of administrative and political inertia, violently regressive Hungarian nationalists who wanted to protect their position as second-strongest grouping within the empire, and an absolute boatload of disgruntled nationalists within the disenfranchised ethnic groups within the empire. I replied to @untitledanimation8130 further up, outling some of the problems the Austro-Hungarians faced in more detail.

Hope you enjoy it!

​@@Bitt3rSteel letting you know this is not in the moded list

The empire was a collection of holdings that just happened to have the same owner, ruled mostly from Austria (the ancestral holding of the Habsburgs). There was never a real effort to integrate all these parts

TL;DR: 19th-century nationalist movements really did a number on the Austrian empire more than any other European power (with the possible exception of the Russian empire) The cracks really started to show in the 19th century, specifically during the revolutions of 1848. Prior to 1848, there had been the occasional uprising in Hungary and the Balkans, but there wasn't a really a concept of Hungarian or Slavic "identity." In 1848, this all changed. In the space of a few months, the bubbling sentiments in Budapest, Prague and Sarajevo boiled over into a series of revolts. These revolts were also happening elsewhere in Europe, but since the Austrian empire had conquered so many different ethnic groups, it compounded the problem somewhat. The Hungarians were most successful during 1848, driving the Austrian army out and forming a parliament that made multiple declarations around Hungarian borders, language and identity. While the revolutions of 1848 were a failure in the short-term (most of the uprisings were brutally crushed by their respective autocracies), they laid the groundwork for German, Polish, Slavic and (relevant here) Hungarian nationalism. By 1867, Hungarian nationalism was such a massive problem for the empire that Emperor Franz Joseph I reformed the Austrian empire into the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. This was the first (and only) "Ausgleich." Incidentally, Franz Joseph was crowned after the abdication of his uncle in 1848 at the age of just 18. He would be emperor of Austria-Hungary until his death in *1916*. Unfortunately for Austria-Hungary, acceding to Hungarian nationalists in 1867 fired the starting gun for every other ethnic group in the empire to demand parity with the Austria and Hungary. This led to a steadily simmering of Czech, Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian, Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian nationalism that would weaken the empire over the next 40 years, culminating in the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir Franz Ferdinand by Bosnian Serbs in 1914. Interestingly, it's possible that the empire could have made the transition to a more federal model by enacting an Ausgleich which included all of the disparate ethnic groups of the empire, but a) that would have left Austria as very much the "first among equals" of the nations within the empire, and b) this would have royally (haha) pissed off the Hungarians, who weren't interested in being just another nation within the empire, but rather really wanted the ability to persecute their non-Magyar populations to their heart's content.

For a bit more context after the Napoleonic wars Austro-Hungary(which as mentioned wasn't called that yet) had substantial possessions and influence in Italy, which was broken up into multiple states, and was the head of the German Confederation. However in 1859 Austro-Hungary lost a war to France and the newly formed Italy, losing most of its land in modern Italy, it then lost a war against Prussia in 1866 and got kicked out of the German Confederation making Prussia the undisputed hegemon of Germany which Prussia would then use to form the German Empire after a war with France. Additionally Austria had abandoned its alliance with Russia(there's allot that went on around that but if I wrote it here I'd be writing a full Wikipedia article). The sum total of all of that left Austro-Hungary with Russia as an enemy fighting a cold war with them over influence and territory in the Balkens, Italy as an enemy since Italy wanted even more land from them around the Adriatic Sea and once Serbia gained independence from the Ottomans(and then had a coup that killed the royal family) another enemy that wanted to do to Austro-Hungary's Balken holdings what Italy and Prussia had done to its italian and german holdings/influence. And the only ally they had was their former rival Prussia(now Germany) that propped them up to counter Russia. Oh and they hadn't industrialized to the same degree as Germany, France, the UK, and Italy, so their economy was worse per capita and therefore their army couldn't afford the same quality of equipment as the other nations.

They controlled a lot of territory in the Balkans. That should be a good indicator in itself

It’s boring right now, unfinished content left and right. The new update will be much more fun with several new nations appearing, stay tuned!

Let them hate, so long they fear

Austrians were actually very live and let live. Most of my knowledge is about Poles, but the rights we were afforded were significant compared to those in Russia and Prussia. There's a funny anecdote about the Polish nobility revolting against Austrian rule, and the Polish peasantry revolting against the nobility as they saw the Kaiser as their protector from the abuses of nobility

You can't really talk about ethnic oppression 1867-1914

@@TovalokodoncTeccik a neved 😄 Nem, valóban. Abban az időben már jóval kevesebb volt a központi hatalom és nagyobb az önmeghatározás, de az is csak a magyaroknál. A csehek, szlovákok, románok, szlovénok, … továbbra sem rendelkeztek semmilyen hatalommal, ráadásul a pénz- és a hadügy továbbra is osztrák kontrol alatt volt, így a háborúba annak ellenére szálltunk be, hogy a magyar parlament ellene szavazott.
