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

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

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.

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"

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!!!!

#

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

crude geode
#

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

paper estuary

#

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

still forum
#

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

still forum
#

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

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.

now they work on arguably the most useless collection of countries ingame, instead of changing outdated trees to be more up to date

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

#

Brazil added more to war effort

#

Was richer

#

More populated

#

Have more impact

#

Iran lasted 10 days?

#

Something like that

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

So what is more revelant

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

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

still forum
#

They can open a new one

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

More than iran haHaa

#

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

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

There's another thing

#

State of iran made it fall in 10 days

visual willow
#

i don't see how historical events matter

#

ingame relevancy and potentional is all that matters

still forum
#

This means

#

That iran would rather defend itself

#

And not attack

if we care only about what happened historically the game should be a documentory where germany is forced to loose every single game

#

#

Brazil would force allies to split up their fleet

Which is important in war with japan

visual willow
#

KEKW yeah like 5 ships cause brazil has no fleet

still forum
#

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

visual willow
#

any compotent USA would withdraw your guarentee and jump on you whilst you try

#

That's not something ai do

And if we are about multiplayer

visual willow

if we're talking AI then any kind of strats don't matter

you'll just win cause AI is so utterly flawed

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

There's also another thing

#

It could bring war to south america

#

Like brazil joins allies

#

Argentina joins axis

visual willow
#

oh no! anyways

still forum
#

So it clearly could open another front

visual willow
#

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

still forum
#

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

the things that happened during participation can be relevant, but the single fact of "country X participated" is not

paper estuary
# visual willow i agree, brazil should 100% get a tree cause that dutch alluminium is much more ...

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.

visual willow
#

so first rework a lot of other parts of the game, then look if SA is relevant to have trees for? yeah

paper estuary
#

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

# visual willow so first rework a lot of other parts of the game, *then* look if SA is relevant ...

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.

still forum
#

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

opaque flare
#

Yeah, my point is that they mix important and unimportant countries all the time.

visual willow
#

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

visual willow

visual willow
#

except many old trees are just barely servicable and definitely need a rework

opaque flare
# visual willow 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.

visual willow
#

higher but apparently it's still not important enough to be mentioned directly

paper estuary
visual willow
#

all of SA act... kind of identical

paper estuary
#

Well obvisouly, there is no content
Up until half a year ago Denmark acted "kind of identical" to Albania

visual willow
#

even if they had content they'll all be the same

opaque flare
visual willow
#

my entire problem is that even if you bomb content into SA, i'd be less impactfull then an actual hungary tree

paper estuary
#

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

visual willow
#

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

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

That still doesn't exclude them finally making naval make sense

Instead of just stacking all ships in one fleet and throw the dice

#

So Gran Colombia, Brazil, USA rework, Argentina and Cuba...?

#

Actually Argentina will probably be part of another dlc with Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay

elder brook
#

bro they wouldn't make 2 separate south america dlc's

#

lmao

#

they do the whole continent at once

terse slate
#

its not many countries and half of them did the exact same things over and over

#

lul

terse slate
elder brook
#

they will prob make the smol ones including central america have similar focus trees

#

like the baltics or chinese warlords

terse slate
#

bro hears latin america and says canada

terse slate
elder brook
#

so true

#

cmon bro it would make the continent fun to play

terse slate
#

in that case they should've just cut the whole map and just add europe and asia

elder brook
#

it's cool, probably not too much work for the devs either

terse slate
#

u talk about countries that did nothing in ww2 but then talk about countries who ceased to exist by 1940 LMAO

elder brook
#

they have multiple teams working on different stuff so hopefully they are working on it

#

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.

you dont say "a apple"

you say "an apple"

elder brook
#

he meant "an"

#

instead of "a"

#

what if I said I was "an swedish person"

#

that would be silly

terse slate
#

yeah but the indefinite article "a" goes to "an" when the next word starts with a vowel

keen chasm
#

it's not latin america

terse slate

keen chasm
#

it's more like northern south america/caribbean

#

so it makes sense to the US to get some stuff

terse slate
#

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

keen chasm
#

That's why i said it will be only northern south america/caribbean

keen chasm
#

most countries there only joined the war because of the US

#

and there's the monroe doctrine

terse slate
keen chasm
#

i would say Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, USA and Cuba

terse slate
#

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

keen chasm
#

Iceland and Aussa got some stuff so maybe Cuba will get some flavor

#

or a common caribbean tree

terse slate
#

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?

# terse slate oh jeez

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

terse slate
#

should i start with eu4 or victoria 3?

jaunty yacht
#

Both are good

#

I had an easier time starting with Vic 3, but in the end it comes to Empire simulator or Economy simulator

jaunty yacht
#

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

jaunty yacht
#

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

terse slate
#

im getting both

jaunty yacht
#

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

elder brook
#

that would be insane

#

they could just do low effort shit for central america

#

but again this is paradox

#

so it's not impossible

jaunty yacht
#

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

elder brook
#

yeah thats what im saying

#

no one would be mad if they did that

#

and it would be little to no work

jaunty yacht
#

No, not even them

elder brook
#

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

terse slate
#

entire central america focus tree should just be 1 focus which is 35 days and says "get annexed to mexico and apologize for independence"

It was in the comments

#

Damn

jaunty yacht
#

The devs reveal a lot of info in the comments since they know no one reads them

amber barn
#

Lmaooo

#

They were right

jaunty yacht
#

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

amber barn
#

Im almost sure that after a last DLC, they will do some reworks to older trees or small nations probably

jaunty yacht
#

DoD nations and China especially need some renewed love, even the commonwealth nations have aged better than those 2

amber barn
#

Indeed

#

China really, really need some love 💀

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

#

Egypt declared neutrality

#

But war happened on it territory

hardy pond
#

I really want to have more features for democratic nations

#

Now it's like almost the weakest unless you are faction leader

jaunty yacht
# still forum There's fundamental problem

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?

hardy pond
#

Probably never

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!!!

#

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

elder brook
#

it's never worth it

#

if u mean the invest in colonies focuses

dense gale
#

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

fading heath
quiet smelt
#

The millitary factory path

quiet smelt
#

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

dense gale
#

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

quiet smelt
#

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

quiet smelt
#

I' literally a france main

dense gale
#

Effi cap is the most important thing in mo

#

Do u know conversion build?

quiet smelt
#

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

dense gale
#

Bo conversion build in terms of tank

#

U know where u build base heavy tank

#

And convert to hc2 td

quiet smelt
#

Ah yea, and then conver with better turret

dense gale
#

U need the effi cap for that

quiet smelt
#

Doing that on the right path is considerably worse because changing template reduces efficency

dense gale
quiet smelt
#

And the cap wont actually reach the number required to beat out the more factories of the left path

quiet smelt
dense gale
#

While u still have higher effi than left

quiet smelt
#

Dispersed rushing with the bonuses helps but the left paths more factories do beat it out

dense gale
#

Because u wont hit cap as early

dense gale
#

They go conc

#

Because conversion

quiet smelt
dense gale
#

U dont get 20 factories on left side

#

I counted

quiet smelt
dense gale
#

Its 8 mils

#

And 4 civs

quiet smelt
#

I'm opening the game to make sure

dense gale
#

Go check it out

quiet smelt
#

I dont know what you were counting

#

18 so its not quite 20

#

But still

dense gale
#

Wtf are you on

quiet smelt
#

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

dense gale
#

U know how late those mil are

#

U have 0.37 daily gain

#

And its 10% cg

Honestly skill issue

And go partial

#

Are u like loss

quiet smelt
# dense gale Scw

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

right side france is alr pp tight

this is even worse

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

I was wrong

#

Did u skip it after i told u

Doesnt change the fact u got to grind

A no gen france would die to a Germany that did

quiet smelt
#

A germany that dies to a france is so bad they would have died if they grinded or not

dense gale
#

Thats a 10% stat buff

#

Also not considering german gen can be 8 attaxk or higher

quiet smelt
#

At the point a germany is losing against a france, they already were going to lose

dense gale
#

Not true

#

U saw dankus play in the commie cup

#

His team died in France

#

Not because they were alr going to die

quiet smelt
#

Very cleary it is because germany was bad

#

Its because the france went all in

If i had the vod i show u

I doubt he's the best player

If he lost to a france

dense gale

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

When testing the IC for the right path I'll go to war economy ur method

Do you convert civilian factories to millitaries?
