Trial of Allegiance DLC: Chile, but...it's FRANCE??

[@weon_absoluto]

A bit of history, in the late 1800 Chile started colonizing western Patagonia and Araucanía, then a frenchman Orelie Antoine claimed that if they made him king france would send aid, hearing this Chile ordered an imediate invasion, Antoine was arrested and tried as a madman, trough french mediation he was set free, he returned to Araucanía trying to become king again but Chile had enough of him and put out a bounty on his head, Orelie fled to France where his decendents still claim Araucanía

[@mikaelsix2443]

I remember when my grandpa fought the Chilean troops in the rubble of Paris, thank you Paradox for acknowledging his fight

[@Nvirr]

If they were fighting the Chilean Troops in Paris that means your grandpa was in the no no team then

He meant at the end of the war. The reclamation of Paris from the Axis.

Turning Chile into a French Kingdom. Now this is a path in the focus tree that is going to be fun.

[@saltvault8943]

The reason why Chile has the Prussian hat as their division icon is because in 1880s to the 1900s Chilean soldiers were trained in Prussian tactics and weapons, plus with a large amount of German immigration during that time it made Chile very influenced by Prussia It's even still seen today where the Chilean parades march like Prussian soldiers

[@Augustas890]

Protect the war baby

[@SquidPartyNeo]

6:40 fun fact that whole situation is in Victoria 3 as an event, the event pops up when playing as Chile or Argentina; obviously you can ignore the whole thing and continue colonizing Araucanía/Patagonia but you also have the choice to recognize Antoine as king and them becoming a centralized nation in exchange of them becoming your puppet

[@Hyde_Hill]

You now have to play as War Baby one time.

[@realmastersilver1849]

Even if paradox wasn't going to allow you to core africa, you could still get algeria because it WAS considered mainland france from 1848 to 1962 and france gets cores on them in game.

[@ultratheman]

i always find it odd that france considered one of their african colonies as a part of their core state when no other power did the same at the time, or am i missing something?

It's very interesting how Paradox is starting to make the alternate history paths more crazy than realistic. It's obviously fun but it feels like they're taking notes from Kaiserredux and other wacky mods.

[@culannthehound94]

Here I was hoping to hear the French anthem on a kazoo 😢. I also forgot that a baby is the king of Rapa Nui. Finally a playthrough more glorious than New Zealand.

[@Bitt3rSteel]

Man, I should have used the Kazoo!

[@LauraCastroMaulen]

The Paths of Chile are very rare, for example the Mapuche does not make much sense since Chile has always been a very anti-indigenous country, in fact the government even subsidized European immigrants during the 19th century to eliminate indigenous identity.

[@kurohone]

That's pretty much every colonial country. And screw realism, it's nice to let the First People's get in on the action for once.

[@burritolopr]

As a puertomontinian (idk how to say that xD) see my country with the colours of my city, using the Ibáñez coup and invading Argentina was incredibly fun. But it doesn't make sense. Mapuche path should be more like the anarchist path from spain and Ibañez had more decisions and events to the government representing the decrees in a military government

[@micahwest3566]

Yes it’s very silly. There’s silliness in the game like getting a bear on the throne of Poland. Thanks for the context!

[@x-uca7465]

The Indigenous route involves revolting against the government. It isn’t Chile but rather a revolution against it

[@LauraCastroMaulen]

@@kurohone Yes, but in Chile the majority is not indigenous, unlike Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, the countries of Central America, etc.

[@thencrranger5628]

Funny how this DLC got a lot of praises in KZbin and yet the actual DLC itself got a lot of negative receptions on Steam

[@i.hate.swedish.ISRAELUBERALLES]

Too much money for something very insignificant also trees feel like kaiserredux paths

[@maximilianodelrio]

Because it's just wacky content for KZbinrs to make content. Sure, it's great to have new content, but it's overpriced and priority should be given to important areas like the Pacific theater, a Japan and china rework, more mechanics etc

[@tuxedo_cat_gaming]

Paradox gives youtubers the DLC early to generate some hype and boost sales. They also use youtubers as a semi-bugtester where youtubers can report bugs and Paradox says they'll be patched before release. Issue with that though is that a extensive plethora of bugs still exist in the final product. This is a focus tree addon and adds no new features/content other than the focuses. Mods like RT56 and En Unión y Libertad do what Paradox attempts here but better with limited manpower and a significantly lower/non-existant budget and gives it to the players for free and not charge $15. TLDR: Paradox is just EA but for strategy games.

[@maximilianodelrio]

@@tuxedo_cat_gaming you said it man, they don't even test their products before release and charge for content that should have either been in the base game or that modders already did 5times better and for free

[@Matanza4897]

​@@maximilianodelrioAs incredible as it may seem, this DLC from the countries of South America, has more content than any mod, in addition to being much more fun than mods that focus on these countries, if you are a "more underground historian", you will notice the references , basically what paradox did here, was take a mod and leave it paid... the problem is that this dlc is much better than many mods...

[@klo3496]

Thanks Bitter, managed to get achievement by March 1941 after six restarts. Mostly because of stupid mistakes like not taking out Easter Island and loosing stability and having numerous civil wars because of Army mutinies. I think there is another achievement by taking all of North America (I took Canada). Thanks again. 😊

Actually, this has an historicall explanation and its not just because yes, in 1860 i think, a frenchman called Orelie Antonie de tounens came to the patagonia (which in those times, it wastn colonized) claimed it Terra Nullis and established the kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia, in 1862 the chilean goverment make an incursion inside the kingdom and arredted antonie, he died in france around 1870's After that, persons not aligned with antonie claimed the kingdom, and one of those where the "antonie" that we se here, and actually he is "antonie" III
