[@kubium7546]

I think the reason for Czechoslovakia being able to restore Austria-Hungary is because in the 19th century there was a movement of Austroslavism in Czechia which called for the federalization of Austria-Hungary rather then for its dissolvement.

[@danielhollick1708]

No it's because any country that Austria Hungary gets the entirety of the cores of (Croatia, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Bosnia I think) can form it. Just as any nation that Arabia cores can form Arabia.

[@Astram2k24]

You also forget it was the three crowns of Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia (czechia)

[@kubium7546]

@@danielhollick1708 Ingame yes but historically its weird as Czechs hated Habsburg monarchy (1620, 1848 revolts) enough for tens of thousands of them going to fight their fellow countrymen on the side of Entente for the independence of Czechoslovakia etc. the hatred goes quite deep as Czechs were oppressed by non-slavic culture ( from 16th until 19th century you wouldnt be able to talk someone in Prague with the Czech language as everyone talked in german, schools were entirely only in german same with any literature), religion (only Catholic church was allowed anything other was heresy which for Czechs who were half protestants wasnt the best thing) so with all of this for anyone with this little context it must feel weird for Czechoslovakia being able to form Austria-Hungary.

[@kubium7546]

@@Astram2k24 Yes but Czechs only had a representatives in Vienna and they werent on the same level as either Austrians or Hungarians who had their own parlaments and institutions. That was one of the goal of Austroslavism for Czechoslovakia to have freedom of self-governance similar to what Hungarians had. If I were to compare i would say its similar to as if Greece was able to form Ottoman Empire because a lot of Greeks actually held high-ranking positions in the Empire and were part of it for few hundreds od years.

When you put your navy on naval invasion support it sallies out to help ANY combat along the coast, not just naval invasions. Also the reason the Japanese navy disappeared is probably because Bittersteel’s ships damaged their fleet enough to make them retire the fleet for repairs.

The Czechoslovak communist tree is pretty decent. Interestingly, it even references "socialism with humane characteristics," which Czechoslovakia tried to put into place during the Prague Spring, in an attempt to reform without trying to upset the Soviets.

[@videre8884]

There is also this quest in Millennium Dawn. It is possible with Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic. I have found that at Millennuim Dawn it is very difficult to revive the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I was close to beating it once but the game kept crashing so I had to start over. It used to be the case that your vassal states produced AI infantry until they ran out of men and weapons. You could then request these troops and suddenly have a gigantic army. But after an update, it doesn't seem to work anymore and so it's now somehow impossible for me to achieve it. Maybe you would like to try this.

I have an idea; play Germany but don't invade Poland (at least not at first), go the "Danzig for Slovakia" path and proceed to immediately guarantee Poland and then prepare for War with USSR. Do a Heavy Tank based army (not "Heavy Tank only", its stupid, but produce Heavy Tanks with high reliability and hardness with hospitals as support groups). This way you don't have to fight the Allies (at least not at first). Anyway, I jut think its an interesting playthough.

This is way too late but France should revoke their guarentee on Yugoslavia when they do the "Buy Time" focus that allows them to ally Britain afterwards in the next focus. It's usually mid-early '37.
