History VideoGame / RedFlood

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Futurists often downright pride themselves on reinventing morality and accelerating it into unrecognizable forms. RealityEnsues, however, as the outside world couldn't care less about France's excuses. The developers have gone onto say that observations about France being a dystopia are correct.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Wait for it...........[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Hitler.]] Yeah. In this timeline he still has authoritarian tendencies, but for the sake of keeping moderate politics the only option for Austria while fighting Accelerationism and Communism.
* {{Adventurer Archaeologist}}: Bokii and his esoteric bolsheviks in Altay.
* {{Allohistorical Allusion}}:

** Two Germanies, one in the west, one in the east. Only this time, it's the western Germany that's communist. Although the Eastern German state only consists of East Prussia while the former GDR is in the Communist West.
** The Communist German state loves producing sauerkraut westerns movies, much like how the Soviet Union made red western movies in the interwar era or how the GDR did in the Cold War. Despite seeing America as the enemy, the genre was popular amongst Communist regimes.
** Antonin Artaud is a failed artist that develops an extreme ultranationalist ideology after the war and ends up ruling his country with an iron fist. Sound familiar?
** America has a Hippo war
* {{Ape Shall Never Kill Ape}}: Mladorossi who seems dangerous socialists and anti-Russian federalists able to work freely in Russia and even have their own faction in the State Duma. This was possible due their monarchist and anti-socialist attitudes along with actions of a predecessor organization of the Union of Mladorosses, the student militia Young Guards that played an important role during the Kolchak coup and the Russian Civil War.
* {{A Date With Rosie Palms}}: Antonin Artaud shows his taste on paintings when he ejaculates over The Annunciation of Rogier van der Weyden during the New's Year Celebration in Marseilles.
* {{A Day in the Limelight}}: The dominant ideologies of the mod like Futurism or Council Communism are ones that were a footnote in our timeline.
* {{Alternate History}}: Specifically based on there being no clear winner in World War I, with France, Germany and Russia simultaneously having their old governments collapse and the rest of the world just as vulnerable.
* {{A Nazi by Any Other Name}}: Red Flood has all kinds of flavor of extremists and demagogues.
**First are the Accelerationists, an authoritarian and ultranationalist ideology whose goals consist of rapid social and technological progress to achieve an utopian society. This includes the Futurists, who fetishize technology and violence, as well as rejecting past traditions to create a strong nation and the National Rejuvenatists, who combine traditionalism with fast technological development.
** National Vanguardism is a mix between nationalist and socialist ideology, essentially CommieNazis. One of the paths Goebbels can take in Germany appears to be blatant accelerationism with lip service to socialist ideas.
* {{The Alliance}}: The International and the League Du Solar.
* {{Alternate History Wank}}: Is possible for both Germany and France to from the Union of Council Republics and the Free People of Europe respectively, which covers most of Europe.
* {{Aristocrats Are Evil}}: The Accephale in France can form an aristocratic plutocratic hedonistic society that exploits people in order to maintain the lifestyle of the elites.

* {{Balkanize Me}}: Russia, British Raj, Romania and China, to lesser extent Congo and Germany.

* {{Blue and Orange Morality}}: Futurists often downright pride themselves on reinventing morality and accelerating it into unrecognizable forms. RealityEnsues however, as outside observers couldn't care less about France's excuses and the developers have gone onto say that observations about France being an evil dystopia are correct.
* {{Civil War}}: Along the ongoing Indian conflict between warlords, Spain, Brazil, Japan and Argentina are also likely to have civil wars
* {{Commie Nazis}}: The National Vanguardists, with the German ones being led by Joseph Goebbels no less. Japan can have this too under Shūmei Ōkawa, who as per Real Life, is anti capitalist, but Pan-Asian as well with it being up for grabs whether his Asian anti-imperialism is valid or an excuse for Japanese expansionism.
* {{Cult}}: The Kivu Congo, the Cult of Kali and the Thelema cult in India.
**After fall of Belgian Congo, one of groups fighting over the ruins of it are a cult worshiping Marx as the Messiah. They have very little understanding of Communism and mix it with Christianity and tribal beliefs.
* {{Cult of Personality}}: The cult of Artaud in France can take this to an insane extent, especially during the Escadron path. Any citizen of France would consider themselves physical extension of Artaud himself.
* {{Chummy Commies}}: German communists at the start date are quite democratic and not nearly enough as their soviet counterparts ended up being in our timeline.
* {{Dark Messiah}}: After the extreme outcome of the Great War shattered faith in well established ideologies and even religions entire countries are willing to turn towards such people.
** In France Artaud is surrounded by cult-like devotion from groups of supporters perfectly happy to shatter fundamental concepts for his vision.
**In Russian Manchuria, Aleksei Gastev can implement his vision of true communism which sees free will and individuality as main evils of the world.
* {{Deal with the Devil}}: France deeply hates both the conservative UK and communist Germany but can side with one against another. Said cooperation serves as a deal with the devil for the other side as well.
* {{Deus Est Machina}}: Many futurists outright worship machinery.
* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: France produces post-apocaliptic movies and baguette westerns to rival the socialist sauerkraut westerns of Germany. An adaptation of some fusion of The Shape of Things to Come and Brave New World was bankrolled by US technocrats and became a megaproduction.
* {{Elites Are More Glamorous}}: French Escadron d'Le Futur, with their custom made leather jackets and maroon scarfs.
* {{Enemy Mine}}: Marcus Gervey's attempt to move oppressed African-Americans to Liberia is more successful than in our timeline thanks to cooperation with the KKK and similar groups willing to help in raise money just to get rid of blacks. Can go into GoKartingWithBowser and NotSoDifferent territory when the Liberians outright emulate the Klan when dealing with native tribes.
* {{Evil Colonialist}}: Quite a few including Firestone Company trying to turn Liberia from country to corporate land and Winston Churchill hellbent on uniting India under British rule no matter the cost.
* EvilLuddite: Druidic France, which comes in two flavors: "merely" distrusting technology and creating a brutal tribal-flavored state, or out-and-out primitivism, complete with reversing the industrial revolution.

* {{Freedom from Choice}}: One of Gastev's goals.
* FreeLoveFuture: This is what the Accephale claim to want, but their reality is far more sexual horror than free love, with their path being described by developers as possibly the only NSFW Hearts of Iron campaign ever made.
* {{Government in Exile}}: Non-communist Germany is reduced to Prussia. Humiliatingly it's existence is thanks to Poland being in the way.
* {{Hope Spot}}: The Friend of Old France subplot is evidence that not all people from France have lost their minds, with a resistance leader trying to contact military officers. [[spoiler:It doesn't end well...the resistance leader is none other than an alternate personality of ''Artaud'', and when he comes to his senses the plotters are all executed.]]
* {{In Spite of a Nail}}: Subverted, Germany and Japan are most likely to become allies... as communist countries.

* {{The Klan}}: In a strange twist of fate, one that sides with Garvey and his black separatists.
* {{Mad Artist}}: Antonin Artaud, Le Patron of France is the dictator of Avant-Garde France. After a failed artistic career and going insane after being exposed to a gas attack during the War, he becomes the leader of the Futurist movement in France.
* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Primitivist France, who's focus tree takes the fairly uncommon step of destroying ''all'' factories in France's control, and compensating with extreme bonuses to recruitment and unit ferocity.
* {{MegaCorp}}: Technocracy Inc.
* {{Monumental Damage}}: A large part of Paris' monuments were destroyed or heavily damaged, first by far-right and left militias fighting and then intentionally by the futurist regime.
* NotSoDifferent: Should Goebells go down the borderline Accerlationist path for Socialist Germany instead of sticking with the National Vanguardist CommieNazis when fighting France.

* {{Sex Is Violence}}: Again, French futurists. Art, sexuality, war and politics are one and the same for them.
* {{Sociopathic Soldier}}: The Belgian army remnants in Congo range between this, JustFollowingOrders and OmnicidalManiac.
* {{Vestigial Empire}}: The remnant of the German Empire consists of Prussia alone.
** Zheltorossiya (or Russian Manchuria) is this to the Russian Republic.
* {{Red Baron}}: Oswald Mosley serves as one for Britain in the backstory as "Black Lightning". Unlike our timeline's counterpart he dies during the war.
* {{Red Scare}}: Just like in our timeline, communism is seen as a threat by all of the capitalist world.
* {{Putting on the Reich}}: The National Vanguardists in Germany, being lead by Goebbels, enjoy this aesthetic quite a lot. Prussians have shades of it as well.
* {{Richard Nixon the Used Car Salesman}}:
**Hermann Goering is an animal rights activist feuding with a chicken farmer Heinrich Himmler, who he accuses of inhumane treatment of his birds.
**Antonin Artaud is the leader of Avant-Garde France
**Paul Joseph Goebbels is one of the possible leaders of Communist Germany
**Winston Churchill is one of the many warlords in India

* {{LARP}}: Out of all countries, Montenegro decides that it is the continuation of Rome. Its focus tree aims to restore the Roman Empire

** Two Germanies, one in the west, one in the east. Only this time, it's the western Germany that's communist.

* UpToEleven: More or less the philosophy of Accelerationism, as any ideas it sees as good must be turned towards its extreme while bad ones must be brutally crushed.

In the aftermath of the winnerless war was great political turmoil across the globe. Political chaos and extreme ideologies rose on all corners of the Earth. A successful Spartacist Revolution turned Germany into a Communist state, France was overtaken by the radical ideology of Futurism led by avant-garde art movements, and Russia became a right-wing dictatorship under Alexander Kolchak.

** National Vanguardism is a mix between nationalist and socialist ideology, essentially CommieNazis. One of the paths Goebells can take in Germany appears to be blatant accelerationism with lip service to socialist ideas.

Red Flood is a mod for the strategy game ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronIV'', developed by Comrade Rapop. Loosely based on the Main/DoubleBlindWhatIf book of the same name found in the famous [=HOI4=] mod ''VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg'', Red Flood where the Russian Empire achieves a more favorable outcome on the Russo-Japanese War. A slightly different World War One ensues where Germany managed to defeat France but they are unable to defeat the Russians. While Germany is defeated, both the UK and Russia end up weakened by the length of the conflict. As a result, [[WonTheWarLostThePeace nobody technically won World War One]] and political turmoil across the globe follows. The mod focuses on the build-up to the Second World War, and the resulting political chaos of a France with an ideology based on Futurism and avant-garde art movements, a communist Germany after a successful Spartacist Revolution , and an Ultranationalist Russian Empire facing off in what may truly be the Darkest Timeline.
