From Lobsters to Liberty: A Beginner's Guide to New England in Kaiserreich
So you fancy yourself a modern-day Paul Revere, ready to ride forth (or, you know, hop on the Acela) and rally the scattered colonies? Well, hold your metaphorical horses (or metaphorical clam chowder, if you prefer) because New England in Kaiserreich offers a unique and, dare I say, lobster-licious challenge.

| How To Play New England Kaiserreich |
Stepping Out of Canada's Shadow (But Maybe Not Too Far)
First things first, unlike most nations in Kaiserreich, you don't actually start as New England. You're a reluctant guest of the ever-polite Canadians. Don't worry, no maple syrup torture here (although, poutine for breakfast might be a thing). You have two options:
- Become a loyal puppet: This is the safe route. Canada protects you from the horrors of the ongoing American Civil War (though you might miss all the juicy gossip). Plus, hey, free healthcare, right?
- Break free and reclaim your birthright! This, my friends, is where the real fun begins. But be warned, venturing out into the post-apocalyptic USA requires a healthy dose of Yankee ingenuity and enough firepower to make a codfish proud.
Pro Tip: If you choose freedom, Canada might become a valuable early ally. Just be sure to return the favor and help them out if the Entente comes knocking.
Building a Nation (Without Whining About Taxes)
Alright, so you're a free New England. Now what? Here's the short and sweet:
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
- Industry is your friend: Those factories in Massachusetts and Rhode Island? Crank 'em up to eleven. You'll need a strong industrial base to build an army and navy capable of taking on the fractured American states.
- The minutemen ain't cutting it: Sure, those revolutionary forefathers were brave, but they didn't have tanks. Research modern military tech and build a well-balanced force. Don't forget a good air force – those pesky CSA bombers love a good lobster roll.
- Pick a side (or don't): The American factions are all a bit...well, dysfunctional. You can try to reunite the country, carve out your own Yankee empire, or even support a radical ideology (just, you know, be careful not to turn into the bad guys yourselves).
Remember: New England might be small, but it's mighty. Use your focus tree wisely, navigate the political landscape, and remember – with a little grit and determination, you can turn this quaint corner of America into a global superpower (or at least a regional lobster powerhouse).
Frequently Asked Lobster-y Questions
How to become independent as New England?
Play as Canada, choose "Defense Plan 2" when the American Civil War starts, accept the intervention request, and then choose to release New England (and play as them) when the event pops up.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
How to survive the early game?
 |
Focus on building civilian factories and research basic military tech. Consider staying neutral until you've built up your strength.
Who should I ally with?
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Canada is a natural choice, but other Entente nations or even the Pacifica alliance can be helpful depending on your goals.
What ideology should I pick?
There are pros and cons to each ideology. Pick what best suits your vision for New England's future (and don't be afraid to get a little weird with it).
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
How much lobster is too much lobster?
There's no such thing! Just be prepared for some serious butter consumption.
