Revolution - fascist

[dorn]

Do you have some experience it has some other effect than changing government type out of stated in manual?

I have noticed in my game that it happened to France, not Germany or Italy. What nation did change government to fascist in your game?

If a nation suffers a bad loss in a war, it will increase the chances that they have a fascist coup.

In my current game, Germany and Italy are fascist - first Italy, then Germany, a little later than historically. In my first playthrough, Italy, Germany, and France all went fascist, in that order, at roughly the historical time for Germany and Italy. I'll have to play more games to have a representative sample, but it seems like Germany and Italy are highly likely to go fascist, with France having maybe a 50-50 chance.

That makes sense. In my current game as the British, I defeated Germany quite badly in a grueling four-and-a-half year war, ending in 1916. At that point, the Kaiser fell and was replaced basically by the Weimar Republic, though there was nothing like Versailles. They went fascist about twenty years later. Russia also went Communist after losing badly to me in the late thirties (I sank all of their capital ships). Italy had never been involved in in a war when they went fascist.

It could be. I have only France going fascist, not Germany and Italy in my playthrough as UK (1920 start).

I would expect that as countries are going fascist that there is more resilient to unrest if naval budget is increased and increased budget is more likely in peace time than in democratic countries. I will need to find it out.

Thanks Fredrik. Very nice feature to historical reality.

Ive seen both Germany and Russian change flags after a facist revolution.

It just changes government type

Government type affects stuff like certain events, unrest, cheating on treaties etc

Fascist nations get occasional blitzkrieg events where they can take over unoccupied possessions(communist nations also get this event but with a lesser chance to fire)

So if you just want to make a massive Empire then go Fascist(pretty sure Germany, Italy, and Japan are heavily biased towards going Fascist since they go Fascist in almost every game I play, including when I play them)

I got the fascist coup event as Germany even without losing any wars. But then again, I also had lost several wars in another campaign and never got the coup. RNG at work.

[deeznuts]

It’s RNG plus certain nations are biased towards the event.

I’ve played games where Fascist coups happened in Japan, Germany, and Italy, and a communist revolution in Russia.
