Probably with the alternate path of him going to Argentina
But some of them have similar paths. For example, both Venezuela and Colombia have the Simon Bolivar path which allows them to rebuild the Gran Colombia
And some others are just countries that separated from the main one, like uruguay from Argentine.
Im guessing Argentina will also get a special fascist path that’ll allow them to reclaim the Falklands from the brits

And Venezuela also against the brits for the guyane
falklands argentinian, not british
Mexico + Germany = Major Powers reworked
Falkland Argentine not british, Belize México not british, Guyane Venezuela not british, Jamaica free not british
mexico, despite being underpowered, can become Latin America? 
Latin America? They already are part of latin america. Wdym?
like as a whole, they can revive spanish america
No
Only spain can do that
yeah but what if the former spanish colonies want to do that?
And reclaim america for their viceroyalties again as imperial spain
No one wants that😂, the most european youre getting from Latin America. Is to revive their hispanic legacy, México can become the Mexican Empire again, Colombia can become Granada again and Brazil can become a republic
i might know a mod that'll interest ya (it reworks pratically all of the world)
not rt56, this way more expansive
(idk if im allowed to post but here it is...)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2716194283&searchtext=europe+in+flames
Dad, come back to the family
What
Honestly most countries can share a lot of their trees, you only need 4 trees for the whole region
Wnd then have minor differences between most
Yeah we need a funny United Fruit Company lol
I'm 99% sure it's the US that's gonna get a rework, not Germany. Thematically US fits South America more, and it needs a refresh more than Germany.
Just hope we get to restore the monarchy as Brazil
That would be very interesting in their interaction with Portugal.
I would also love to see "reunite a bunch of Spanish colonies, conquer Spain itself, and restore Spanish Empire with the new capital"
Stretch goals to take Philippines, LA, Florida and other righteous Spanish clay
Make Brazil a major nation 👉👈
That's quite far fetched
assuming there is even gonna be a rework
the blog post mentioned that they want to revisit one of the majors, so something is coming, we just don't know what exactly
"new face on something familiar" can mean actually anything
Oh, you're right! It may not be a major at all, it doesn't have to be a country. For all we know it can be a purely cosmetic change or something
It can be a literal face: like more historically accurate names and portraits of Japan's PMs instead of Hirohito 😂
more stuff in the third most important front???? nahhhh let's update the actual irrelevant continent that is just a massively lesser USA!!!!
Yeah give it some touch
Brazil deserves something
The only place nothing happens on non historical
Also a lot of factions have south america as potential allies
It's also somehow unique in terms of politics
It have some potential
I think redoing majors such usa, japan and germany with minor changes to the france. While doing bigger focus trees for Asia.
Its much more important than brazil
SOUTH AMERICA YEAHHHHH 🇦🇷🇧🇷🇨🇱🇧🇴🇨🇴🇵🇪🇻🇪🇵🇾🇺🇾🇪🇨🇬🇾🇸🇷 WTF IS STABILITY
Whole south american continent was under imperialistic “control” because of the 1929-1933 economic crisis countries were either under communist parties rising either right wing autocracies rising and there were constant struggles for power.
So I wouldn’t like to have new update to focus there as there wont be any interesting abilities except to capture all south america as some small nation
Like even now I can do a 100% earth conquest as Paraguay
No because they dont exclude each other
All of them had already a rework
But need another one
Like by that logic there wouldnt even be dlcs and just endless rework of majors
Nah
They have a lot more potential than most of tiny minors which already got a tree
Idk what you mean with that one
You could join any conflict you want just like any other country
Get some cores
Make some faction
No worse than any country else
Like why is brazil boring to you but sweden is not
Why is mexico good but brazil bad
Why is new zealand good but brazil bad
Why is iceland good argentina bad
South-American countries in the 30s and 40s were dominated by populist regimes that were born of the social and economic upheaval caused by the opposition between the archaic agricultural society and the sporadically growing industrial society. The 1929 economic crisis just aggravated the situation (because of economic dependency) and boosted the new regimes into power. These authoritarian regimes usually pursued a conciliation between the frustrated agitated masses and the clashing elites as well as the modernization of their countries, all while attempting to push away the blatant interference by the major powers of the time (mainly the US) and to change their place in the world stage.
The game could definitely make use of this scenario.
it excludes them qua time
now they work on arguably the most useless collection of countries ingame, instead of changing outdated trees to be more up to date
DID ANYONE MENTION MEXICO??
🇲🇽🇲🇽 RWAAAAAH 🐍🦅🦅
Bro knows his stuff. Im with you
Nosotros pendejos latinoamericanos conocemos nuestra historia 
VIVA LATINO AMERICA
What country you from bro?
Brasil
I was gonna add Argentina into the mix, but I can't be seen complimenting the hermanos
🤫
hopefully South America finally gets something new
i would love to play as Peru and have actual focus trees
I disagree
I'm pretty much sure they have to do it sooner or later
The quicker they rework south america the faster they will have to make changes to the rest
As basically there will be nothing left
bad wording on my part, i meant that it excludes them from being done sooner
which is absolutely the case
hopefully the second team they'll bring in will focus exclusivally on making the old stuff ok
There's too much to do rn let them finnish probably last focus trees we'll get from dlc
What do they have to rework?
Tfv dod germany france uk usa japan
And more
That's basically everything except nsb aat and bba
Although ethiopia from bba deserves to be looked at again cuz the tree is very poorly executed
That
Learn to read
....everything?? so many old trees are just utter garbage
Japan and UK as a priority!! But american completed reworked sounds nice to me
Just said that
i might have commented before reading everything
Let them finnish everything and then fix the rest
i'd rather not wait a potentional 2+ years before they finally get to things 10 times more important
if they're working on south america, they likely will work on south-east asia
middle east already was more relevant then SA
Meh i doubt it
Maybe as country pack
But not real dlc
That said yes they work veryyy slow
that's still time they aren't workingon more important trees
Probably they would do something like they did with bop
Let the community do it for them
Middle east have the problem of being surrounded by a lot stronger countries while it would give less trees than south america
less of a problem then being on an isolated rock
Almost none south america country is surrounded by stronger major that will attack you and have sea access
Allowing for much more flexibility
i'd rather have an actual front against some countries then basically require to ship my troops over
Well you could join any faction and sail to their front
Next expansion “Malvinas/Fakland War” rework for Argentina and UK (design Harriers and Pukaras, exocets…. ). Just a joke, don’t beat me 😅
LETSGOOOO LATIN AMERICA ON THE RISE
Hostile stronger neighbours
literally only afghanistan doesn't have access to the sea
Bolviia doesnt either
SA would only do things to other SA nations and then take 1, maybe 2 islands if they are lucky
then they basically get to ship their stuff over and never look back in sa again except to build
SA is simply too far away from the actual content and putting content in there only isolates it
I think it's a little bit more limited
Only iran have a real one
Iraq have very small
Latin America deserves love
And those would be controlled by british fleet
they really don't, not compared to the many countries that need new content
Shutup I dont like you again
like hungary, romania, germany
oh boy i can't wait to just not interact with that region at all except laugh at the events on non-historical games
Please use better arguments
Middle east?
this isnt a presidential debate i dont need arguments im just throwing my opinions. Im inclined to prefer my continent thats natural whats the problem
An Argentina joining the axis and Brazil doing the same with the allies could be funny
raj and soviets border it alongside the suez
A complete new theater
that's much more important then the actual unimportance SA posseses
Then why is it called WORLD war if it's more like "european war number 14,769"
But that's not getting you anywhere
These europeans always startin shit
That's childish like
Im going places
yeah, daycare
It's discord, deal w it
colonies, mostly
I'm currently dealing with your arrogance and childish acts
and euro centrism in that time was like, a real thing
you'll live.
kinda the whole racism thing is about eurocentrism
So you say we should get nothing but europe?
did you even see the reply
I dont see why would iran get a tree and brazil would not
cause they are in a much more relevant spot
Brazil added more to war effort
Was richer
More populated
Have more impact
Iran lasted 10 days?
Something like that
ok? but are their political ideas more relevant
cause that is what a tree is
not "oh but they did shit!!" "oh they where rich!!!" that is completely irrelevant
So what is more revelant
all a tree matters for is how it can shape the war, and iran having different ideas means a lot more then brazil shipping their troops to another side
as iran means an actual front
It's like you could say it about usa
It have no front
So no tree for usa
The thing is
Brazil for non historic would be pretty interesting
They can open a new one
if the US didn't have a massive navy and massive industrial might then yeah i'd say the US also would not need a tree
but the US is actually relevant
brazil, comparatively, is not
More than iran 
Usa was worried about potential brazil joining axis
So there was something about it
Also there's another thing
Brazil is popular choice for new players to learn game
Middle east is not
so this is iran, as you can see, they are in a spot that can cause trouble at the least by being nearly next to the suez, able to hit USSR's belly which can trouble them, and hit the raj together with japan
this is brazil, they can take some alluminium off of the dutch
i agree, brazil should 100% get a tree cause that dutch alluminium is much more important then 3 hugely important fronts
i don't see how historical events matter
ingame relevancy and potentional is all that matters
if we care only about what happened historically the game should be a documentory where germany is forced to loose every single game
I think you are not to going to achieve an agreement, you know right?
And would get china level of debuffs
would still take more troops off of the allies then brazil would
Brazil would force allies to split up their fleet
Which is important in war with japan
yeah like 5 ships cause brazil has no fleet
okokok, 12
It does have fleet and you could have potential to make it a lot stronger as you have time
You could also unite whole south america and challenge usa
And by this point being one of strongest nations
any compotent USA would withdraw your guarentee and jump on you whilst you try
if we're talking AI then any kind of strats don't matter
you'll just win cause AI is so utterly flawed
Enemy could hunt middle east before you can fix 849493 debuffs
like this for example
who cares about that if you're against AI lol
unless you can freely justify as soviets, iran won't be invaded in 36
Unless you freely take off guarantee from brazil, it would be free to do whatever it want in south america
i'm assuming basic rules, and i sure as hell know there won't be a rule that makes you not able to withdraw guarentees as the US
There's also another thing
It could bring war to south america
Like brazil joins allies
Argentina joins axis
oh no! anyways
So it clearly could open another front
axis won't dedicate troops to SA unless they already got either africa or the UK itself
otherwise they wouldn't even be able to ship troops
Argentina could hunt down falklands
Japan would really like to send divs there
And from there threaten central america and then mexico and usa
Which would force allies to react
Could be interesting for Japan to bomb/occupy Panama. I think they had plans to bomb it. Also the oil from Venezuela may add some salt and pepper to this scenario
yeah
their cruiser submarine program was partially motivated by Panama canal. One of the proposal was to have an aircraft-carrying long-distance sub to approach the canal and let the planes out to bomb the locks and prevent US from swinging naval forces between oceans quickly.
The fact that Brazil took part is very relevant; players could expand on that by investing lots on industry and military and then end up going berserk on Africa or Europe, maybe even the Pacific, contributing the most to the war or something like that...
But yeah, I'd say SA is more of an alt-history region.
The fact that Brazil took part is very relevant
best part is that it really is not. Participation means absolutely nothing when most of the paths should be althist
the things that happened during participation can be relevant, but the single fact of "country X participated" is not
Maybe the devs should focus on something like that
I mean, make SA a lot more important for the US; no wonder they did all they could to keep Latin America on a yoke. If more resources were added into SA and the US was made more dependent on interfering in and controlling the region, the nations in SA might have a bigger impact in the world war by possibly crippling the US's ability to get involved in either the Pacific or in the Western front.
so first rework a lot of other parts of the game, then look if SA is relevant to have trees for? yeah
Meh, I am very happy that the devs will apparently spend some time this year developing SA.
Even more so if they have a second team dedicated to going back to old stuff in order to improve, but if that wasn't the case, I'd be fine.
It's not like Japan or US are unplayable anyway.
New region
New trees
Very likely new mechanics
I'm all for it
please tell me the name of the game
hearts of iron 4
Not necessarily.
HoI4 is both a ww2 game and a game set during ww2 period, and the team tries to balance adding content to countries and regions that historically took part in the war with other parts of the world, that didn't IRL, but could.
Same with all the alt history stuff for majors and minors. Greece couldn't become a Byzantium in 1940s, but Paradox players expect the game to give them the option, just as they expect India to have a bonus to nukes, because yada-yada-old-Civ-bug-meme. That's how we got a Mexico tree before we got a tree for Ethiopia or even Finland.
Keeping some important ww2 participating countries undeveloped - Iran, Finland, Bulgaria, Baltics, Indonesia, etc. - and adding content for them every few years has been a staple of this game. We got Bulgaria a few years ago, we got Finland recently, one day we will get Iran, Siam, Indonesia, maybe Syria. And we are getting things like Switzerland, Sweden, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, and other non-participating countries along the way, too.
It would be ridiculous to have custom content for Peru and Columbia before, say, Manchukuo or Hungary, but getting South American content after the game has been out for almost a decade? It's totally fine.
Brazil have every reason to get some tree
It's not like turkey and mexico are so much more important
And then there's aussa iceland baltics
Yeah, my point is that they mix important and unimportant countries all the time.
i'd def say turkey is more important for, again, it's position
mexico is basically all of SA combined into a single state and double as important, but that could also not neccesary have a tree
but now the mix misses the important countries
Yes, and it was always the case. They did majors, most minors, and now they trickle the rest, a couple of countries a year on average.
except many old trees are just barely servicable and definitely need a rework
Yeah-yeah. EU4 is a much older game. It was in a similar boat, and they started revisiting countries more actively only recently. They were worried that a facelift DLC wouldn't sell well, and the community would be upset that some old DLCs would become obsolete as a result.
Stellaris made revisiting of the old content possible only after they spawned up a secondary team. HoI4 now tries to replicate this process with "operations", so the chances of refreshes are now higher than they used to be several years ago.
higher but apparently it's still not important enough to be mentioned directly
Bruh, you just making arguments up by now lol
Mexico is not twice as "important" (whatever that means) as the entirety of South America... What's the reasoning, huh, cuz Mexico borders the US?
pretty much
all of SA act... kind of identical
Well obvisouly, there is no content
Up until half a year ago Denmark acted "kind of identical" to Albania
even if they had content they'll all be the same
Good point! We want an Albania content with focuses to make Zog OP 
my entire problem is that even if you bomb content into SA, i'd be less impactfull then an actual hungary tree
Typical global north mindset
North America and Europe are the center of the stage and the further you get from there, the less and less important it gets, up to a point "nothing can change that"
So no amount of passion and effort can make SA interesting gameplay-wise
i'm sorry that in the world war game i'm focused on the fronts of the war
and unless they rebalance the entire game to have SA have stuff you care about, it's just not a worthwhile region
and yes ik what will be said, "but it'll be a new front if they get trees!!!"
yeah, one you still don't care about nearly as much as the other main 4
esp not because you can also easily deny any expansion there as the US
unless it comes with a full on monroe rework
Yeaaaaahhh fully support that 
The more fun that can be added, the better
and i'd love it if the fun was smackdown in the most active place in the game 
not reallyy
they differ so much lol
brazil argentina and venezuela are all incomparable
nordics are much more alike
They're both really comparable

Nordics atleast has 2 countries that really needed content
brazil is the country that needs a content as well
biggest strongest minor without a tree
nah Thailand is def the last real country left
Philliphines/Dutch East Indies also are there but issue is they are island nations which require a lot of production for naval combat which isn't realistic
Iran, enjoying an actual fight in ww2:
first a south east asia update
we def need some content for SA
How to solve this problem? If you click on the soldiers, they have to say something, but they don't say anything to me. I have all the sounds turned on.
It's from dlcs
And which one? Send the link
Together for victory mainly
But there's more
Death or dishonour as well
And some more for the rest like bba for ethiopia
there is already one) (Expansion - Hearts of Iron IV: Death or Dishonor)
I think every pack only contains the voices of the country they belong on
Are there voices for the German army in this supplement? Expansion - Hearts of Iron IV: Together for Victory @still forum
Wdym voice actors
Does hoi4 even have voices? Apart from like the soldiers when u select them
This one
Ah 😂
The Lithuanian voice actor has some grudge with the world or something
Bro is angry at the universe
He's Eastern European so probably
Does anyone know if the Devs are planning to add a way to add backround/ non-XP commands back to HOI4?
how about estonian
lol
stop yapping lil bro
NONONONNONOONONONONONONONONONONONON
They New Teaser suggest Indonesia DLC
Generals!
Something lurks within the leaves. Watch the video from our Recon team and let us know your thoughts!👇🐍
https://pdxint.at/3UaRj8C
Someone else said Brazil and that's also a Maybe
that looks like South America to me
i thought it was on random island on the pacific :'v.. well prob South American..
Ecuador Focus Confirmed
Hoping it’s Japan and South America
Unlikely
The dev diary mentioned revisiting something old, so it could be both
Japan'll probably come with an Asian pack
Oh they added a dev Diary?
Can you link it
It’s the older one for end of year report
Greetings!
With the release of the Stella Polaris Patch (1.13.6) last Tuesday it's time to wrap things up for the year.
2023 has been a busy year. The team has been hard at work since the very first days of the year, and the first War Effort...
Take a look at the final line
I mean I hope it is asia because that is honestly more important for ww2 but I think it's gonna be South America
Peru Ecuador war
It’s definitely gonna be South America, you can see the South American border in the date at the end of the vid
Or part of the border
I think ideally we’d get Japan and South America, that would be awesome
ah yea.. because they type "untouched continent"..
where
Its 99% sure it will be South America
bruh
What
IF and its A BIG IF they will add stuff to SA
They will
They said it
lol
id like to see a update which reworks the template div designer with new RL units and templates
@terse slate
read above
i would really like a greater german reich descision rework beacuse they did proclaim a greater german reich in 1943 and they didnt control leningrad stalingrad and moscow
@terse slate
read that and tell me whadya think
I going to put this here, I think that is stupid that we are going to most likely get SA stuff before Austria. Austria cant ever have a decision to go true monarchist and have Otto von Hasburg on the throne and truly reform the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Austrian Empire. It surrounded by nations with focus trees. (tho some are really bad) . It gets affected by other nations like Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Italy. But this would be fine if Hungary didnt have the Austria-Hungary reform path. I hope soon Austria gets a focus tree, as I believe that they are the last important nation Europe that needs a focus tree. Sorry for the block of text
also belgium dosent have focustree (dont forget about tiny luxembourg lol)
True I think at least a dlc for Ireland, Belgium, Austria, and Luxembourg would be good to finish off europe
if ireland got a fascist path to ally with germany that would be op since that would be a very good staging ground for a sea lion
oh it would be, I think most of Ireland's focus tree would be built around taking northern Ireland and beating up england
but would be cool to see for non-aligned a celtic union type path
but its actually crazy to think that ICELAND or ETHIOPIA get a focus tree before these small european countries
Nah i think its shocking that the sami, a nation you have to release has flavour before Austria or Belgium. I dont think they get a focus tree but I know they have custom leaders and generals and stuff like that
yeah thats crazy
Unless its WTT pt 2, we are getting a south american dlc
Not actually confirmed but if there is content for South America Peru and Ecuador are guarenteed to get something
it kinda was confirmed tho lol
Cause they fought the only war in South America
They said in a tweet they're working on an "untouched continent"
Thats all they said
And the only untouched continent is??? South America
So kinda was confirmed yea
Yeye, someone else explained that the Snake emerging from the smoke was a reference to the Brazilian Expeditionary force
Ahh yeah makes sense, plus there's the Amazonas in Brazil and other countries of america
So everything jungle-ish is almost 100% there
Might be cool to see like the incan empire rebirth or gran colombia
I hope we get the Liberian focus tree 🙏
Cursed focus tree where someone brings back the Spanish Monarchy
Re-conquers South America
While teaser was Fakeout, all Dev team esources are sent to make a Liberia tree
Ngl
Argentina and Brazil are gaurenteed a Focus
Chile, Venezuela, Columbia and Peru are likely
Ecuador and Uruguay will get some content
Bolivia and Paraguay will likely get very little
Ok I'm stupid lol
It shows a literal map of South America
i hope we get the hondouras focus tree
Guatemala will finally recover Belice!
no
Guatemala is a rebel state of mexico
Join México

Jajaja ok, ok, whatever…
clearly its a poland update
I hope after this we get a Germany and Japanese rework
And a focus tree for Austria would be cool too
Honestly the Pacific war is the most boring part of this game
aw, was hoping we'll get an update for asia, southeast asia in particular. guess it's time to play south america only to send expeditionary forces back to fight in europe only.
will we be geting middle eastern focuses, i really want to do a restoring the caliphate as arabia but they hve no custom ocus tree
Poland tree too small, add more wacky oaths
bro there won't be an update for just siam
What about Indonesia, Malaya, and possible reworks for Commonwealth and Japan
Idk Iraq and Iran would have decent opportunities for trees
Yemen maybe since they had stuff going on
Mid East could use somet
mid east yea
They actually were involved
iraqi nazis were a serious thing
Siam, Mongolia, Dutch East Indies, Mengukuo
that is just east asia
I just really want a Japan rework so a SE Asia DLC would be best for that
Yeah but it's likely the next DLC if they do one
Thailand did the funnies
Ambassador refused to declare war on the US and proceeded to be part of the resistance movement
Belgium, Austria, Lux, and Albania could be 1 package
impossible
can be
Adjust default focus tree lol
that is suck
sounds kinda ignorant ngl. there's more than just Siam. Southeast asia was a whole theatre of its own.
So see you in Brazil
yea full of unrealeased nations
Yo
Did you know the Commonwealth are puppets
So therefore according to you
Is just the UK
Canada doesn't exist apparently
So why did they give Canada a focus tree if it is just a puppet
They exist
(They actually made it a Puppet in TfV but my point stands)
??? release them? the fight for independence AND the invading forces of Japan and Siam is part of why it's such an important theatre of WW2.
Think of the alt hist
Baltics literally just died irl but their focus trees are decent
ii just wrote nosense
you don't even know your real history, don't start on alt haha
The Raj can have the Indians that sided with Japan pop out of them
Forgot their name
Being honest, if anything is updated at all and it's good then it's a win
Fair enough
What game feature will they be adding
Yea right?
We have designers for everything, an arms market
The last ones were pretty cool
Industry revamp?
Hmm
Maybe
they slightly changed how consumer goods works so maybe they want to make more changes there?
hoi4 war is hard to revamp even more
Navy rework 2: electric boogaloo?
Death war in the Amazon
I just wish there was a toggle to disable manual orders. Battleplan only
tanks 40 w in amazon
They said they were going to stop adding features
After BBA they were basically not going to add anything Major so I was surprised to see International Markets in AAT
I think they may try to give every South American Nation a focus instead of a whole new system
Nah, they fixed bunch of bugs in the past ~2 years and now navy is much easier and more forgiving. You can do whatever and have fun
what was going on there in sa? other than being boring and vuvuzuela having a hat guy
i'm still not going to update through research my navy
Kinda? There was some American intervention and legitimate fears that one South American Nation may side with the Axis
I remember Bolivia had alot of Nazi propaganda
yea kinda
Also there was a legitimate fear that Ecuador might be used to bomb the Panama canal
As Ecaudor was buying Italian equipment for some time and had relations with Italy
Which the US tried to overturn after the 1941 war but shipping a bunch of Equipment from Ecuador
And Leasing the Galapagos in turn for Tanks
No
It's considered Central
Though I feel like if they add anything Major it'll either be an Expanded Monroe Doctrine
Or an "Intervention" System
Where Majors can step into wars with Minors to protect their interests
Latin america before Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Austria, and Liberia
More potential and Participation
What is the new dlc about
Just as intended 🗣️🔥
South America lobby comes out victorious
Viva Latino America
Ngl the Dev team should take inspiration from En Union y Libertad
That Mod does South America really nicely
nerf japan in civil wars
Tbh, I think those country’s should have there own DLC all together, but it should come with a complete German rework to
EAI, what does this mean?
I hope this might include Central America aswell tbf
how can i know if some mods ar incompatible ?
It will tell you with a big red triangle
I saw a ship so as someone who likes navy i hope they redo naval again XD
ok
I would say, that ship could be just reference for sinking of germany cruiser near Urugway which means South America DLC, my first guess. 😄
That still doesn't exclude them finally making naval make sense
Instead of just stacking all ships in one fleet and throw the dice
It looks likek north south america
So Gran Colombia, Brazil, USA rework, Argentina and Cuba...?
Actually Argentina will probably be part of another dlc with Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay
bro they wouldn't make 2 separate south america dlc's
lmao
they do the whole continent at once
yeah i think theyll just do the entire continent at once
its not many countries and half of them did the exact same things over and over
lul
probably does
they will prob make the smol ones including central america have similar focus trees
like the baltics or chinese warlords
why the frick would usa be included
bro hears latin america and says canada
nah i think it'll be included into south america, because theyre just mexican rebel states their whole purpose in life is to get integrated into mexico

in that case they should've just cut the whole map and just add europe and asia
it's cool, probably not too much work for the devs either
u talk about countries that did nothing in ww2 but then talk about countries who ceased to exist by 1940 LMAO
they have multiple teams working on different stuff so hopefully they are working on it
this ^^ xD
didn't even put up a fight
getting annexed in a single day isn't a fight
ya i responded to that msg
Mexico did more for austria than any europeans, at least mexico denounced germany for it lol
so does latin america
Aztec Empire, Incan Empire, viceroyalties of the spanish empire, fought independance and got "released" for 200 years now.
Bro got his historical knowledge from tiktok
I mean he right
in terms of modern history that is what happened
shutup betnix
in terms of modern history everything can be oversimplified to an extreme
europe just killed themselves for milleniums until they got scared of nukes and decided to stop
Youre right
AEUUUGH
he meant "an"
instead of "a"
what if I said I was "an swedish person"
that would be silly
yeah but the indefinite article "a" goes to "an" when the next word starts with a vowel
hi
it's more like northern south america/caribbean
so it makes sense to the US to get some stuff
no it literally doesnt
might've as well get included in the dlc bro, i mean, south america, central america and caribbean are like such little work for the devs
idk
but it would be kinda useless to make them into a whole different dlc atp
That's why i said it will be only northern south america/caribbean
why not?
most countries there only joined the war because of the US
and there's the monroe doctrine
garbage take
because usa is trash
i would say Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, USA and Cuba
they already got protagonism even tho they literally joined 'til last minute. the dlc is for south america. Why would usa be included? Might just get a small rework to fit better the monroe doctrine in a future update but be included in dlc? nuh uh
Iceland and Aussa got some stuff so maybe Cuba will get some flavor
or a common caribbean tree
i mean its 3 lil countries, might as well just get included into south america to finish those and get them out quick yk
bro half of the world got colonized by european majors like france, uk and spain
☠️
bad thing about updates, is that mods take like 3 months to update :((
i dont rlly play mods tbh
just the fps one that improves UI quality and colours, but nothing major
Which ones you recommend?
They did mention the continent was too big for one expansion back in By Blood Alone
gotcha
yeah
oh jeez
D;
And here was I thinking they'd add all south america, central america and caribbean in 1 dlc
lol
Raising USS Maine from the depths and then blowing it up again 
Yeah there was a comment from one of the devs (I'm not going to be looking among all the DD to find it) where he said that there were plans for next DLC's focusing on: Scandinavia (AAT), The Middle East (Probably the next DLC) and South America and probably 2 DLC's since the continent was too big
Also they mentioned some high employee of Paradox was spamming them with ideas for a Brazilian DLC
Probably also why Vic 3 has already a Brazilian DLC
havent played any other game apart from hoi4 from paradox
should i start with eu4 or victoria 3?
Both are good
I had an easier time starting with Vic 3, but in the end it comes to Empire simulator or Economy simulator
which being which
If you don't want to buy a lot of DLC just to understand the tutorials i say Vic, but if you want to go deep into fighting the world EU
Economy VIc, Empire EU
The great thing about EU for a Mexican is that you can play as the Aztecs and Colonize Spain
The great thing about Vic is that you can beat the living hell out of Texas
bro knew how to convince me
im getting both
They are worth it, vastly different than HOI but still very good games
The only thing that you will miss a lot is wars, they don't have the same depth or intuitivity as HOI
no hecking way they don't do everything in 1 dlc
that would be insane
they could just do low effort shit for central america
but again this is paradox
so it's not impossible
I don't think CA is even getting a focus tree, but I think Cuba might since they were part of the war and had a bit of fighting against German submarines that were carrying spies against the Latin American nations
Though if they do add CA it's going to be Chinese Warlords all over again
yeah thats what im saying
no one would be mad if they did that
and it would be little to no work
No, not even them
I just don't get it man
how come a single mod creator could revamp the game and make bigger updates then the hoi4 devs
same thing for basically every other game
entire central america focus tree should just be 1 focus which is 35 days and says "get annexed to mexico and apologize for independence"
shut up
thats not nice betnix
I am fully aware, Alfredo.
gå och sova
Imagine if the rework is for USA instead of Germany or Japan 💀
Sometimes it's unbalanced like En "Union y Libertad" where Peru is as strong as the USA by 1945, or it ends up being slightly bland like Rt56 Brazilian focus tree
its already midnight
usa dont deserve nun
SA didn't deserved the dlc this time and still got it, so i wouldn't even be surprised tbh
Lmao
shutup
about time they gave latinos some love
Why? 
Japan will probably come with a SEA DLC, the only nation from LA they got involved with was Mexico
Yea
🤓
oh my gosh shut the hell up i was tryna be nice and say it in ur language
Sad
D:
Japan needed some love 😔
i think 2 nukes is enough love
And also South East Asia
it was gramatically incorrect :33333
ur face is gramatically incorrect
Though Germany could very well come with an Argentinan-Chilean DLC, focusing on political involvement beyond spies, or a spy flavour update
that would be based
I do like the spy idea ngl
Germany got involved a lot with Argentina and Chile mainly, but Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, were also victims of propaganda, recruitment and political campaigns from the 3rd Reich
latin america as a whole is victim of usa imperialism
More than even the USA
I was hopeful that the next DLC would be in the Middle East or South East Asia lmao
nuh uh
.
The message below that one
For some reason I can't reply to myself though
About the continent being big enough?
About the comment for the next 3 big expansions on a BBA dev diary
I don't remember about them 
It was in the comments
Damn
The devs reveal a lot of info in the comments since they know no one reads them
Interesting
SEA might be the final DLC, finishing the Pacific Campaign, and giving love to Japan, though I don't discard the idea that they might want to release DLC's revisiting old content or untouched nations such as Ireland or Mongolia just like EU4 does instead of releasing EU5
Probably this
Im almost sure that after a last DLC, they will do some reworks to older trees or small nations probably
DoD nations and China especially need some renewed love, even the commonwealth nations have aged better than those 2
It's a mayor nation and Aussa has a better focus tree than them
Though the nation I desperately want to see is Egypt, they had a big role and an even bigger alt history potential, since the king was more sided with the facists than the allies, if the Brits keep control of Egypt they can force it to fight and if Mussolini manages to take it, then it will join the Axis, and I think this mechanics have been already touched slightly with Finland by events where they can exit the war without the need of the full faction falling
south america
There's fundamental problem
Egypt declared neutrality
But war happened on it territory
I really want to have more features for democratic nations
Now it's like almost the weakest unless you are faction leader
Demilitarize Egypt preventing them from deploying troops, with alt history paths allow players to fight as Egypt for the Allies or sabotage the Allies in order to allow the Axis to win, if Egypt doesn't fall make a decision for Britain and the USA to force them to battle, if Egypt falls, it doesn't capitulate, it quits the war and joins the Axis now without the events that cause them to switch sides
It's not fully historical, but let's be honest when is HOI4 fully historical?
Probably never
is it possible to use mods from 1.12 in the 1.13?
ruh roh
i think its gonna be a south american update because of the jungle
nothing happens there
EVER
its brazil
yeah it is 99% brazil
101%
you can see the map at the end letters
yes
yea
brazil focus trees are never the best but im ready to see what their attempt is at brazil
hopefully there's or they(bring back) the event something like "South American dreadnought race" pt.2 to the alt history :v
Kind of has to be otherwise too little happens in SA
Lucky you can have them share most parts of the tree
Can’t wait to spend more money on hoi dlc 😔🙈
cant wait for uruguay focus tree
'do nothing' > 'battle of the river plate' > 'do nothing'
finally a jungle themed optimalisation update
I never paid for any hoi dlc with my money
they came out so slow you can afford it from just selling cs drop crates
I imagine south america countries will be 83839303737393038373738393837464393939374674x better than ethiopia
Much x 0 is still 0 
But yeah, unless it has super good mechanics i'd assume it's safe to skip
There's going to be a bunch of revanchist alt history BS with every nation trying to avenge the losses of 1830s-1860s.
Bolivia into Inca empire, too
Also, there used to be a separate Brazil - Chile - Argentina naval race before WW1, and there's definitely going to be a "resume naval race" focus.
Can't wait for any non US alligned nation to not be able to expand because the US can just remove their guarentees!!! Or how they can't invade anyone as they need someone else's navy for naval dominance!!!
there literally is a map of south america don't worry
Can't wait for more nations to be added to the game that I'm not going to play as. Haven't played any trees in last 4 expansions.
I just want to do the Snakes on a Plane achievement again.
Now with 10x more focus tree
and becaus of the jungle
man
im bored
i really wanna see a HOI4 DLC where they add RL units and templates
since a Infantry div consisted of other units
so it would feel MORE like ww2
That is what your support companies are for.
Infantry equipment represents more than just a rifle, same with support
alr
yes
nothing happens in south america
am i blind 💀
Please add aztecs
I want to see roman-viking-aztec war over colonizing hawaii
But that's probably for other dlc though
They probably wont touch mexico
But still inca empire!!!
Will paradox ever rework france?
They already did it in LaR
yeah and rework this bad rework?
maybe along with a Middle East DLC
Also, "bad rework"? People were raving about that focus tree at the time
France as England need that colonial units (skins) how Italy already has 🤞🏼.
yes, but it's not legal, and piracy discussions are not allowed here.
I've saw a lot of complaining on it when came out lol
Unlike spanish
The only hoi youtuber i watch complained on it back then as well
The left wing path is good though
You get 20 millitary factories for free
IC wise you get more out of it than the right path before the war starts
And by the time the right path catches up, Germany is already dead
The default french focus tree slaps hard
you need to do like 10 70 day focuses for that though
it's never worth it
if u mean the invest in colonies focuses
its not u get 1939 prod cap in late 37 from right side and 39 conc
its better than the factories from left side france in every metric
thats why u never ever see left side france in mp games
because making ur mils better is always better than making more mils
market dynamism 10% effi cap and growth is also just too good
and where u get 20 mils from left side france give 8 mil and 4 civ
Thats you problem you dont want to play whole game. Its like playing only Orcs in W3, only Terrans in SC2, only Britons in AoE2 and complaying they are also a lot of different races/civs, etc...
I would love to see a much more minors nations have focus trees. Whole South america, Iran, Iraq, Siam, Philipins, etc, etc. I would play them all!
I did the graphs, the total IC produced by the time the war starts is lower with the right path
No matter how much or how little you civ greed
Takes till late 1941/42 for the right path to actually become worth it in IC terms
By then the war with germany is over and you have all of its factories
U must be doing it wrong
The consensus among everyone is right side produce more stuff
Because of 20% higher effi cap
20% effi cap beats out 8 mils
Like its a no brainer
Efficency cap doesn't actually come into effect into real gameplay from the fact that early game you replace industrial production lines
Also its a lot more than 8 mills
Its closer to 20
U clearly dont play much lmao
I' literally a france main
I know it, the left path gets you even more millitary factories
You can do conversions with the left path as well
You dont really care for civs as france since you expect to die in MP
And in the case you hold you already won
Bo conversion build in terms of tank
U know where u build base heavy tank
And convert to hc2 td
Ah yea, and then conver with better turret
U need the effi cap for that
Doing that on the right path is considerably worse because changing template reduces efficency
Do u know about switch designs?
And the cap wont actually reach the number required to beat out the more factories of the left path
You dont get back 100% efficency
While u still have higher effi than left
Dispersed rushing with the bonuses helps but the left paths more factories do beat it out
Because u wont hit cap as early
France doesn’t do dispersed
They go conc
Because conversion
It will be higher but the total IC produced wont beat out the 20 more factories of the left path
Then you WONT have higher efficency with the right path from the loss of changing over production
I'm opening the game to make sure
Go check it out
Reorganizing is 50 pp for each mil
Wtf are you on
Dirgeism also gives civ to millitary conversion, which completely murders the right path in terms of IC before war produced if you preffer the safer playstyle of going full into millitary factories
If you are playing france properly you will have full advisors, partial mob and have those factories built
No u dont
Wtf are u on
Honestly skill issue
The first advisor you get doubles that
You always rush defensive strategems
You always rush defensive strategems
Idk how dumb u are
U cant do pp guys
Because u need do army guy first
And than partial mob immediately
U physically cant fit pp
France cant go partial mob immidietly because no war support
You've not played france if you think that
What
Scw
U do that
Get 12.5 ws
And go partial
Are u like loss
France starts with 10% war support, to get enough for partial you need 10% from a attache and 5% from world tension
A compotent axis can delay world tension reaching the required ammount for a long time
Idk are u joking or what
Scw gives 12.5
From sending vols
U dont even need attache
Wdym by "scw"
Spanish civil war
Like u have to be joking
Grinding cav leader
Organizer
Panzer leader
Its no wonder u think left side is better
Ur pp order is all wronf
😭
Just checked, SPCW doesn't give 12.5% war support base game
Nor the intervention focus
You play for post cap, france hold isnt feasible anyways
It does
You are just donating those factories to germany
For fast game
Even left side is worse
8 mil and 4 civ is nonsensical
- You live to make germanies life a living hell in MP
- 90% of the playerbase plays SP where the extra IC of the left path before the wars tarts just lets you beat ai germany
And he say the 50 po per mil
No if u hold
U play to end the game
Tf are u talking bout
Yea and its easier to hold with the left path because you have more IC lol
With left side you are donating to germany
Ill just run over you with 8 heavys in april 39
Its free eco for me
also, idk where you get those 4 civs from
You must be playing modded
Last part of left side france
its all mills
I dont, i dunno who told you that
Its 4 mil 4 civ
I did the graphs, more total IC from the left path
Are u the one playing modded lmao
No
Im gonna ss for u now
Show the graphs, claiming you did them when its wrong
doesnt help
I can claim that i did the maths to justify mid 40 civ cut too
Is that correct though?
It was ages ago, gonna remake them rn
Invest in colonies is great for building slots
To keep building mills
He rushes stratgems for that sweet pp probaly
like why lie
u lied bout the 12.5 ws thing too
like i main fast game france lmao
xD I cant read properly
i know france inside out
Its not there for me
u do
u need the pp for fast game
its just unfeasible to get enough pp to do all the 50 pp decision
-25% stab
u need grind
for gens
and fast partial mob
is better
ur partial mob is a whole year later
u do know that right
because u still need do attache
yes u sit at 26%
like you see how expensive left side france is
50 to get rid of matignon
250 pp for 5 mil
right side france is alr pp tight
this is even worse
and right side france leader gives 10% pp gain
And u give 10% consumer good each time u click it for 90 days or 60 day
That’s equivalent to building the mil urself lmao
U said u did pp guy first lmao
I was wrong
Did u skip it after i told u
yh
Doesnt change the fact u got to grind
A no gen france would die to a Germany that did
A germany that dies to a france is so bad they would have died if they grinded or not
U do know panzer leader and cav gives attack right to tank and mech battalion
Thats a 10% stat buff
Also not considering german gen can be 8 attaxk or higher
At the point a germany is losing against a france, they already were going to lose
Not true
U saw dankus play in the commie cup
His team died in France
Not because they were alr going to die
Very cleary it is because germany was bad
Its because the france went all in
The Germany is the best Germany player lmao
I really doubt that
Because the strategy was to go all in on sov
Like u are the only franxe main that i know that dont grind in scw
Its the accepted consensus that u need to grind there
It happens in every mod
Vanilla or overhaul
When testing the IC for the right path I'll go to war economy ur method
Do you convert civilian factories to millitaries?
U dont because i dont build any civ
