Extra! Extra! In today’s news, we bring you new footage of the ongoing struggle on the South American continent. We will give you exclusive shots of the political and military development in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.

It is yet unclear how the political landscape will evolve during this tumultuous time, though we have seen some prominent persons appearing in both the political and military landscape. Here are some of the most influential people we’ve identified:

On the broader spectrum, our office analysts have looked into all the data we have collected and recognized a multitude of potential developments within the countries. No one can predict exactly how a country will develop in the future, but they’ve drawn a general image of some focuses that the nations might orient towards:

From our reporter on ground we have an exciting story on the military groups involved in the conflict in the South American region. Without further ado, we bring you this exciting interview.

marblemadness: So, Slurpen_Paradox, can you tell us more about what is happening behind the scenes?

Slurpen_Paradox: Yes! These are the most prominent armed forces that have been involved in the area.

ART_06.png


marblemadness: Jolly gee! Is that an armed civilian? These people look very dangerous. Are there any other forces involved in the region as well?

Slurpen_Paradox: I’m glad you asked! Other than the “armed civilian” there have also been groups driven by various political ideologies. Here are the ones I managed to capture on camera:


ART_07.png


Slurpen_Paradox: It’s not only ground troops that are fighting these battles. With the latest technological advancements we’ve seen in recent years all the primary countries involved in this conflict have acquired various planes, tanks, and armored vehicles to supplement their forces.

They seem to have a bunch of repainted ones as well as some that I haven't seen on the battlefield before!

marblemadness: …oh. I see. It belongs to the Liga Patriótica Argentina. Is there any other footage you would like to share?

Slurpen_Paradox: Yes. During my time in the deepest parts of the Amazons I’ve brought with me some dramatic photographs from the battlefields.

I'm afraid not :(

It's mostly been concentrated around Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Paraguay, Uruguay have some, as well as Bolivia. Then there are a handful of native councils as well as the operatives that go with La Resistance.
So who are the leaders of Bolivia that received portraits??? Did the falange leader get one? And are the democrats and communists still generic????

Hello, I am Chilean, I would like to ask if this model of airplane belonging to Chile is by chance the Junkers Ju 86 K-6 that Chile bought from Germany in 1938. If so, the green color seems wrong to me since at that time it was customary to use a silver color in almost all Chilean military aircraft, here is a photo of this plane in Chile.

Wrong green model color, it should be silver.

I've been really looking forward to this update to the HOI4 game for a few years and I've always been waiting for an update about Brazil. I really love my country and I really liked the new visuals of the units as well as the entire plot. Thank you very much Paradox:)

Sorry for my English ; ) ; )

I assume this portrait is supposed to be Eugenio Gomez, the communist leader of Uruguay, but the photo used for this portrait is of Carlos Dujovne, an Argentinian communist.

This is a photo of the real Eugenio Gomez

I would like to share here some models of tanks and airplanes used by Chile, All photos belong to Chile and are from the times when they were used in the country, I will also share some photos of camouflage schemes that were used in Chile to help improve the 3D models for the game, I will only include those considered oldest since they would be the logical ones to add to the game.

I have some questions regarding formables:

Will there be a united Caribbean formable?

Will any South American Country be able to form a united South America, or just the ones with an appropriate focus tree?

Since all of the formables since NSB have NOT required the country to be independent, will you retroactively change older formables so they don't have to be independent, either? Fewer countries as puppets makes the game more convenient.
