Social Democracy: An Alternate History

does anyone have any tips how to not loose public support in the 1933 election? Even with economic betterments I always seem to miss out on being able to form a coalition.

it is so difficult to form a coalition with KPD…

how to form a progressive coalition?

Don't quite the game during trumps term if that was 1.0? Meant. I doubt trump would be able to anything substantial but still its a good educational game on the issues that plagued Germany before the rise of hitler and a good way to learn how to stop fascism from rising again.

I struggle a lot with historical mode because I don't know how to get spd away from centrism and get into action instead.

The Nazis couldn't stand a Second Popular Front being formed.

A lot happened in this match.

How do I get the conciliators to lead the KPD?

Do tariffs raise support of the old middle class and rural support? If they do not they should because tariffs increase prices for for agricultural goods and also increases price for goods like what artiasans make.

Reichswehr content is quite lacking/not quite as impactful now. I think we need huge negative events related to the military, especially if we ignore them lmao.

idk how historically reichswehr is involved in the whole events, but surely they're powerful enough, no?

Does anyone have any idea of how to get the Mädchen in Uniform achievement?

Damn I suck at this, I keep losing around 1931 or 1932 every time

Fastest NSDAP speedrun (At least unemployment is reduced, according to the game)

The new update is fire!

Just curious, is it possible to get the Neorevisionists movement without having an election at all? How exactly do I get the movement without having any elections?

A bug I found (but didn't manage to record) was that I got handed the Economic Democracy card while not controling the Finance Ministry.

Welp. Getting the Heidelberg Program achievement wasn't really that difficult. It took me less than five tries to get it.

I just noticed the timeline of the Weimar Republic until 1928 in the library and I'm curious to know in which update it was added.

I finally managed to get a majority government! I tried that for so long and finally managed to get a majority government! 

Bug: The foreign ministry negotiation with Vatican is still available even after signing concordat

Suggestion: Add an event

Left-wing militants marching 

When KPD’s popularity surges to more than 30% and higher than the SPD, it should be able to rapidly grow RFB and attempt to launch a communist coup attempt to overthrow the state, especially if the Nazi support is high. To trigger this event, you will need to make sure KPD has higher support than all other parties, including the Nazis, and you have implemented austerity policies that impoverished the working-class and the unemployed.

If you lost or do not resist the takeover of the commies, the KPD would turn Germany into a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship and start violent purges and massacres, similar to Stalinist USSR, and begin to help Moscow sponsor more Stalinist parties and regimes in Europe.

If the unions declared independence due to your anti-worker policies, they might side with the KPD instead of the SPD

Bug report: Elections in loading always displays as "1928 Coalition Menu" no matter which year it was held 

Does anyone know why I cannot get the popular front coalition?

How do you get the Conciliators to take over?

Possible bug report?

Even if you have Braun as president, when you call for new elections when a majoroty isn't formed it shows that the SPD is part of the opposition even though the president and chancelor are a member of the SPD.

Suggestions:

1. Make a constitutional coalition possible only by 1932-1933.

You can simply call early elections through Müller in December 1929 or January 1930 - create a coalition, and as a result do nothing. The next elections - in 1934 or by the end of 1933. As a result, you can agree to austerity, do nothing, and the Nazis will do nothing.

2. Make the "March on Berlin" event likely if the Nazis have the ability to paralyze the Reichstag as a result of the elections. This simply partially solves the problem of manipulation of elections in the early stages of the game and allows the Nazis to use more force to overthrow democracy. By, for example, 1932, if they have enough votes to paralyze the Reichstag (for example, if the anti-republican parties have more than 50%), the "March on Berlin" event occurs, where they demand snap elections from Hindenburg. This is also consistent with history, because after the Reichstag elections of 1930, the Social Democrats seemed to be able to create a "constitutional coalition" and sit quietly until 1934, but this is not true. So I propose that the constitutional coalition be made more difficult, or that it is more difficult to come to an agreement about it with the DVP or the "Other" parties - or at least only by 1932.

3. Add more events about internal party politics.

Add events to requirements for changing advisors. For example, instead of a party event about disagreements in the party, and then a split, you can do it differently. For example, the left faction, threatening a split with high discontent, demands to replace advisers with members from the left wing. If you agree, you are obliged to replace the adviser with a member of the left wing and cannot replace him within 6 months without this wing splitting. Or, if the advisers are already in their posts, they do not simply "leave", but, again, issue an ultimatum or agreement. For example, as with the communists, you promise them to fulfill something within X months. Or ultimatums like:

—Centrists/reformists demand to cut funding for the Reichsbanner

—The left wing demands to reduce commercialization in

our media (minus 1 resource)

—Reformists demand big concessions to bourgeois parties in matters of the program

—Labor demands to put pressure on the government for the sake of increasing social spending (if we are in the government, then they simply demand, if not in the government, then threaten a vote of no confidence)

—Left wing demands to soften our line towards the communists (this will anger the bourgeois parties).

Or add another option with the solution of disagreement through resources.

Left wing - decommercialization of our media, increase in funding for Reichbanner, our youth organizations, 

Reformists - funding of our cultural and educational programs, sports leagues

Labor - More mutual aid and welfare programs

Centrists - finance a broad newspaper party debate on ideological issues.

Or finance (-1 resourse) a broad rally in accordance with the program of a specific wing.

I also suggest the possibility of events on conditional compromises between the wings of the party.

For example, we are promoting the Labor program on the economic crisis, but in exchange for support for this plan we need to make concessions on some other issues with other wings of the party.

For example, the reformists are ready to agree to the Labor economic plan, but demand in exchange for this to cut the Reichsbanner. Or "The Centrists are ready to accept the left economic plan, but in exchange they demand a more anti-communist line."

The idea is to make the early adoption of the plan extremely difficult without concessions to the other wings. For example, it is impossible to accept "any" economic plan right away without an alliance with another wing (the second or first in strength). But with time of promotion (at least 1 more time for there to be an event) of this program in the party, the wings no longer need concessions for its adoption.

We can also add demands from the wings according to the ministries, if we control them — or press our coalition partners for that. Or a change of cabinet to the corresponding wings. Or add this opportunity as an additional one for concessions, if we are in the government. In the spirit that we can give in either "within" the party, or in government policy

Labor Ministry:

Centrists — demand to support workers' councils

Reformists/Labor — demand to support worker and consumer cooperatives

Left wing — demand to socialize key industries.

Ministry of Finance:

Left wing — increase taxes on the rich

Centrists/Reformists — make tax system more progressive

Labor — Cut overrall taxes.

Internal Security:
Left wing — unban the communist RFB, Ban the Stahlhelm

Reformists — Ban the RFB or press cummunists furher

Labor — investigate corruption by big businesses

Agricultural:

Left wing — state buyer

Labor — food procurement

Centrists — land reform

Reformists — Agricultural Financing

Foreign:

Left wing — improve relations with Soviet Union

Another idea: if the reformists are disloyal at event "The Prussian Bulwark", we cannot choose options because they are not ready to listen to orders from the party
