Soviet Union in 1894
(hexbear.net)
Just finished the revolution, which I kind of stumbled myself into, and was able to form the Soviet Union in 1894.
I thought this was pretty early, what year where you all able to get communism to kick off in your saves?
ive been able to consistently go council republic by the 1860s as mega germany. the trick is to trigger the nihilists and bully moderates into being commies. also find a good state and build a ton of industry in it and move your capital there. im a big fan of wallonia, silesia, and bohemia. this gives trade unions more power.
if you do do it this early, i strongly recommend doing dengism, keep commercialized agriculture. having trade unions and the capitalists happy is a very good boon for the mid game industrialization frenzy
