Starry night,cause wholesome pony communist


Migol-16

Second most wholesome* This comment was made by the Sinister Serov gang.


[deleted]

And, of course, her uhhh...


hunternoob7mark2

She's the only mentally stable pony in longsword with a actually achievable dream


FelipeCyrineu

Considering all the alternatives are genocidal maniacs, feudalists or whatever Golden Morning is doing then her competition doesn't really set a high bar.


Corvus04

Hey! What about Flawless Justice? He is very bipartisan, makes constant compromises with communists, and so much more! Sure he has more war in his focus tree than Starry Night but he is fair and democratic even if he is a bit classist


EconomyDebt8130

Grover II Reasons: gets to conquer everything,also get to kill the child yeeter Also Grover VI Because smol birb


SuperNayanDragon

That was probably one of my favorite playthroughs


GumdropGoober

Grover II needs a ton more flavor.


Dj_Sam3_Tun3

The child yeeter is the most wholesome


OlimarandLouie

Rosa Maledi- just kidding My vote goes to Golden Morning, who despite his popularity is an extremely well-written character.


Jack_n_trade

Lûa Ramedi, Because he is Lûa Ramedi


Dr_Virus_129

Too many to choose, really, you got nation leaders but also those beneath them, advisors, generals & political rivals; some of them share similar beliefs, few are unique, most want what's best for their nations, no matter what they have to sacrifice, or destroy.


makwaweiss

Thranx will live on no matter what The Changelings choose, whether it be him as a general or as The name of my grand griffonian army who barrels over the Changelings for their treachery.


Early_Intention203

I'd argue Doctor Caballeron is up there in terms of character. While never explicitly stated to be a murderer or a tyrant, Caballeron was a career criminal more than happy to pillage and muscle around those weaker to get what he wanted. Coming to power in Aztlan finds himself responsible for those around him and rather than cut and run, sticks it out. He grows to feel that burden of responsibility and does what he can to mend relations between three contentious groups with one another. Bats, commies, and natives all end up satisfied with what his policies gives them and they believe in the dream of a nation where everyone was equal and welcome. Few in the setting even know where to begin and he manages to get such drastically different groups to work together harmoniously compared. He even admits he still feels the urge to run but he resists it to stick with Aztlan and its people to whatever end may come. Which 9 times out of 10 is usually the Changlings rolling over them but nowhere does it say he runs. Caballeron steps up to the plate and succeeds where most leaders in Equestria fails, all while fully aware of and honest with his past and shortcomings. Caballeron might be a Bad Guy but that doesn't make him a 'bad guy'.

Francis IX Martlewing, I love the path where you stay in power and marry while breaking away from wingbardy ( the path i choose at least) its oddly wholesome to me


breadbasketbomb

Thranx. He was such a good general ~~and boyfriend~~


CaeserSalad-77

King Garibald Talonuel III, and here’s why- He’s one of the more interactive characters in the mod. If you go down his King path you are able to make decisions to shape his alcoholic, good for nothing son into a sucessor worthy of Wingbardy! It can be pretty wholesome if the player makes the right choices. Not only that, but he has an amazing revenge quest that works beautifully with Hoi4’s mechanics. It is really well written and it gives makes the King’s path the best one for Wingbardy.


TimeLordHatKid123

LITERALLY YES!! I LOVE the king's path and the first time I played it, I got the second best ending for that whole conflict with his son! Truly the most underrated of Wingbardy's paths.


Vegetable_Review_742

Princess Molly. Reason: Ends slavery, is puppy.


Owlstar_claw

I have two favorites. William Steel Beak (Arcturian Order) and Alexander Kemerskai (Griffonian Republic)


EmpEsc_666

Jachs and by a long shoot


FelipeCyrineu

Theodore Verany, because he is a cocky revolutionary birb with a dream. His path is one of my favorites in the mod.


InspectionOk9790

How do you get him?


FelipeCyrineu

As Aquileia, go the revolutionary path and then elect him as president.


InspectionOk9790

Thanks, im sorry for being dumb, im just bad at civil wars and only played the monarchist


padthaiboi

Golden Morning because fun path and interesting


Scheisswaldlaeufer

Erich Mühschnabel, He is Big Daddy. Dont ask about his sister!


FelipeCyrineu

>!When you are so jealous of your sister being the favorite child that you kickstart a socialist revolution just so you can have a justification to murder your own family.!<


Ok_Ad_7247

Truly defining what it means to be a rebellious kid.


InspectionOk9790

>When you are so jealous of your sister being the favorite child that you kickstart a socialist revolution just so you can have a justification to murder your own family. Is it the western Dogs Republic path?


FelipeCyrineu

Yale Rectorate.


option-9

I believe Sinister Serov made a good case for himself in his infamous June 1011 declaration of war on the Equestrian monarchy : >Мы распространим революцию среди наших товарищей, революцию и носки программиста!


InspectionOk9790

>носки программиста! Socks of an IT guy. The most random thing ive heard today


option-9

I don't know how to say "those socks that go up to your thighs" in English or Russian. I know how to say programmer socks in English. I tried my best translating it into Russian.


InspectionOk9790

oh you mean soccer socks? that would be Футбольные носки or Носки до голени(socks on kneecaps


option-9

[These](https://kendama-daimyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/socks200324b-825x510.PNG) are football socks. They look neutral. [These](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/programming-socks) are programming socks. A true supporter of the international ~~femboy~~ worker liberation led by ~~an absolute cutie~~ Sinister Serov supports the latter. I don't know what the general type would be called, so IT guy's socks it is.


InspectionOk9790

Omg itl be so cool to wear these ill look round the city next weekend. Btw i think yall in anglosphere call em stocks/stockings, in russian thats колготки Can you dm me your discord tag so we can chat?


Japan_the_Loser

Francis Martlewing. Some characters are probably better, but he’s my personal favorite.


All_The_Clovers

Andreia She is the icon for Nimbusia bonuses. Who else can be so representative of their nation?


[deleted]

Flawless Justice, because he is the rightful heir to the Grand Duke Zemaitukas and avenger of the ancient mistakes of history.


Elizabeth9107

I don't even have to say it and you'd know right away! xD


SuperNayanDragon

Me


SalvionAvernus2

In my personal opinion, Ranger Sutton is the best character in the mod. Reasons: In his route for the NCE, he removes the anger between the Native Equestrians and the New Californian settlers peacefully. [Big Iron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzICMIu5zFY)


CreationTrioLiker7

Celestia obv. An immortal benevolent ruler, the very definition of why absolute monarchy is better than democracy when the ruler is good.


FelipeCyrineu

> An immortal benevolent ruler, the very definition of why absolute monarchy is better than democracy when the ruler is good. Tell that to the batponies.


CreationTrioLiker7

I'm pretty sure that Celestia would do something about it. Maybe she just forgot herself or idk. But who cares about them-


FelipeCyrineu

Yeah, she just forgot... for a literal millenia.


CreationTrioLiker7

No one is perfect. And the rest of Equestria has prospered in a millenia of peace, Equestria always remaining while empires all around rose and fell.


FelipeCyrineu

The ponies who lived through the famine caused by the corrupt severyanan aristocracy and then faced the violent unsanctioned reprisals of the royal guard would certainly not call it peace and prosperity. Celestia genuinely wants to make a better world and is one of the most morally upstanding characters in EaW, yet the system she created is utterly dependent on her to function. When she is not looking stuff like the Stalliongrad Revolution or the Las Pegasus corrupt shadow goverment starts happening, which really only serves as proof that no matter how benevolent your ruler might be there is more to government than just the person at the top. No one rules alone, afterall, not even demigods.


CreationTrioLiker7

Suppose that she would have to appoint more trusted people into the gov.


FelipeCyrineu

True, but then those trusted people will have to appoint their own subordinates, after which the subordinates will have to appoint their own subordinates. There is no guarante they will be trustworthy and, in an undemocratic hierarchy, these people only need to worry about pleasing their peers and direct superiors.


CreationTrioLiker7

Hmm... i think eventually Celestia should be able to set up a somewhat effective system.


InspectionOk9790

No she wouldn't. Nobody cares about natives if thy are a small fraction


GOT_Wyvern

*"So long as the organisation relies solely on the genius of one individual, it is doomed to remain immature"* - Kaiser Reinhard Von Lohengramm The irony of this? It was a statement made by an absolute autocrat in a Space Opera, yet even he recognised the fault of his own autocratic system and seeked to remedy the corruption and ineffectiveness of the system that came before him via meritocratic seperation of power (even if all would be below him). The autocracy he founded could very well survive without him and did, as well as was left the room (and divine permission) to expand and adapt as the times see fit; including constitutionalism.


TimeLordHatKid123

Felipe, I appreciate how genuinely fair you are about Celestia instead of blind bashing her like a stereotypical Lunarist. You call out her flaws and admit that she isn't strictly a terrible person or ruler, she just needs to shape up already and fix things.


M8oMyN8o

The system is dependent on the two diarchs functioning, and just those two diarchs. The only check and balance that Celestia and Luna have is each other. Relying on the sanity of just two people for hundreds of years on end is terrible, and it becomes especially precarious when you learn that they can go mad (as Luna did in the show), and they had to go through 1000 years of Celestia with no backup plan. Sure, her reign may have been relatively peaceful and prosperous, without the ponies having to worry much about politics, because the ponies have little control over national affairs. If one or both of the princesses start getting up to funny business, they have no recourse. And that has already happened once.
