Deporting Hitler is not an option that comes up. After using the internal ministry on the far right three times, you can keep repeating the action with no change in text or anything.

You can write newsletters but cannot spell the name of your own state? You should learn to spell California properly first of all. 

The best way, that I found, to get KPD to like you, is to man the foreign ministry and improve relations with the USSR, and request that they help improve KPD's relations with you. If you do that twice, KPD will be open to becoming allied with you. THEN, you actually need them to like you. But before that they won't even improve relations if you try.

I really wish it was possible to play on after winning the civil war.

The Young Plan did pass. And does pass in this game too. You're confusing it with the referendum which was held to denounce the Young Plan. Which got 14.9% of the voters partaking in it.

In the game, if you have the foreign ministry, you can suspend the reparations. It is guaranteed if you notify the foreign powers that the right wing parties are attempting to remilitarize the German military. The right wing parties hate you for it though.

A bug:

Sometimes the Reichsbanner's militarization is: 0.19999999...8%

What is the historical reason for that? DNVP and Zenstrum not being in coalition.

And what is YOUR favourite way to play Mr. Dev. Any tips/tricks for us?

How can I make the Reichsbanner gain maximum militarization?

A bug: 

On hard, the right-parties formed a coalition, the game thinks that parliament is suspended and Bruning is using Hindenberg to pass edicts.

A bug:

Aufhauser, the labour advisor, his name appears as Leipart.

Labour doesn't waste a deck space. It increases relations with workers and decreases relations with the "bourgeoisie" parties. Or vice-versa.

The West always allows you to pause reparations if you inform them of the right wing parties attempts at re-militarization of the German army.

The WTB is not repeatable. You do it once to come up with the plan on the governmental level, then do it again to enforce it. You do it once, it needs two "button-presses" to go through.

There is a way to get this united-front. You need very good relations with KPD, and KPD & SPD need 50% of the votes in the election. You also need 3 party resources for bribery, if you don't have VERY good relations with KPD.

Your coalition partners need to have good relations with you. Easiest way is inter-party affairs, via party cards deck. You need 1 party funding. Or use an advisor, I like Braun, who can increase coalition-partners relations.

I dislike the fact that

A) You cannot form a militarized paramilitary force. The Reichsbanner is an activist organization, not a military one. And cannot turn into a military one. It's training and equipment is always "low".

B) You really cannot change the SPD. As in, it is always a parliamentarian liberal party, well let's call them socialists via contemporary lingo. Why can't I make them "communist"? Or anarchist? Or even proper liberal, a "bourgeoisie" party that gets the support of the "middle-class", the rich, the military, etc. 

I wish appointing Labour, or Left into advisory roles, "strengthening" them, actually did something. Internal factions "strength" really does nothing. Neorevivalists or whatever the neo-'s are called, do nothing. Or at least nothing so far. The left is composed of a guy that wants to cozy up to the KPD and a woman that does nothing. The KPD are braindead yes-man of Stalin in the USSR.

The SPD is incapable of engaging in populism. This is my biggest gripe.

Game is too realistic! Allow me to chart my own course please.

There was an election that happened in my game in 1932, NSDAP 47%, DNVP 4%. *I* was asked, "NSDAP-DNVP coalition? Or, No Majority Government". In this situation the question is left up to the NSDAP and also to DNVP. I have no say in this. I feel they should have formed a coalition and formed government. I believe this is a bug.

Hey man, great game. I wish I could play past 1933 Jan, or even just past winning the civil war, though. There is a huge randomness element to the game because you don't know which card you'll get. It is a really interesting strategy game set in a very interesting time period. I love it! Bug with the unemployment. Shows ex: 12.00000000009% sometimes. Thought it should say 12% instead. Cannot get populace's support up past 38%, majority non-coalition government seems impossible. Is there entropy for support? As in, it constantly wanes by itself? Game is easy once you know what to do. Love that fact, of just tinkering with it until you perfect it. I hope this becomes a demo for a FULL game that will come out on Steam. I don't know how one develops games, but man I wish I could do something this great.
