v.0.18

Hello everyone, Alpinia here, and I'm proud to bring to you one of the largest updates to Kaiserreich so far - 0.18 'Forest Brothers'. The new reworked nations brought to you this time around are none other than Bhutan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Wales and White Ruthenia. But of course, it doesn't stop there, with a whole host of literally hundreds of other additions, improvements and fixes, as detailed in the full patch notes enclosed.

Notable Additions

• Kaiserreich now has its own implementation of Player-Led Peace Conferences and the State Transfer Tool. These can be activated via game rules, though if you are in debug mode then the State Transfer Tool is available by default. Note that, if you decide to use the PLPC or STT mods anyhow, it won’t break anything - you just won’t get our updates to them.
• Japan’s intervention in China has been modified to be more in line with the vanilla version.
• Japan’s “Fading Sun” peace mechanic with China has now been changed. Russia and China are dealt with by separate scripted peace events, and Japan has different levels of surrender ranging from minor defeat to total capitulation - they no longer lose their faction and all ability to declare war the moment Korea and Manchuria are occupied.
• Total download size of the base mod has been reduced by ~50%, thanks to standardising most gfx to .png format.
• The remainder of the former rework to Kaiserreich’s naval system has now been removed, bringing the naval system fully in line with vanilla's, save for names.

Notable Additions

• The unit limit formula has been fully reworked - it now uses the country’s total population as a base, and then further modifies that value based on the country’s industrialisation relative to its population. The upper caps have been completely removed.

If Austria loses this war, it then seeks formal integration into the German Empire.
