Thank you for the DD. There seem to be a lot of different permutations here. I guess that means there's something for everyone but it will keep QA busy testing them all.

The 'Alliance with Germany' option seems to require a Democratic Germany, and then has Denmark join the Axis. Doesn't Democratic Germany form the Central Powers rather than the Axis?
No, what is needed is that you have the same ideology. So you could ally Democratic Germany, but then you have to be that as well - OR being non-aligned and having free elections. Technically, you can do this focus as fascist Denmark and ally fascist Germany

Sad there's no dedicated Communist path but glad all the other paths look cool.

1.) Do you have any of the infantry equipment art or officer portraits to share with us?

2.) Looks like the "Align with Overlord" focus is entitled "Align with Denmark". Typo, or is there a secret anti-Danish Denmark path?
Yeah, I decided pretty early on not to do one - which IS sad - buuuut Denmark has over 170 focuses, so it's not a small tree. And you can still go communist with the Elections!

I think I shared all the officer portraits in the historical DD

That's just because I took that picture when Denmark in fact didn't have an overlord, then the text shows up like that

Could we please get some info regarding changes to Iceland? Based on the previous Dev diaries and this one looks like it will be a puppet instead of annexed at the start of the game, but does it also get a focus tree? Maybe shared with Greenland and the Faroe Islands? Similar to the how all Ethiopian releasable states got a shared focus tree.
I think you'll just have ro read between the lines ^^

Also, I know this is off topic, but given the positive reception of Denmark and Sweden having there two kings. And the constructive feedback on Norways Dev Diary, has there been any thought of adding Haakon as a country leader for Norway?
Gotta be honest that I'm not up to date regarding the other countries; we're very much on the home stretch as it were, and trying to finish up our individual responsibilities

Wanted to ask how the Kalmar Union focustree would work in this case, would all of the Nordic Nations need to go Fascist/Monarchist? Would it work by puppeting them and trying to do the focus? With the Fascist trees alot of emphasis is put on conquering your Neighbors so would you be able to unlock it in some way, or no? Because the odds of Having all Scandinavian Nations Fascsit/Monarchist and not conquering each other seems rare without puppeting
To open up the Joint Focus Tree all you gotta do is be in a faction with a Nordic country, and I'm pretty sure one of you must be faction leader. So joining the Allies as Denmark won't open up the Joint Tree if Norway is part of the faction too

Will there more as this? I remember that Manchukuo or Finland in the moment has only 1-2 models for every category in the pool. How is it with Denmarks pool?

Its good but not good enough to compensate the malus for capitals in the Fjords. Will you update Coastdefense ships?

Bad weather is fix?
No, this will be the only vehicle 3D model for Denmark
Will be Christian von Schalburg mentioned there?
I was amazed by the recent-released great Danish book about him.
Yup he's in there! Remind me tomorrow and I'll post a pic
OMG love it! Every ideology presented, nice monarchist and facist tree. Have potential to be my favorite focus tree!
Thanks!!

Ah so you have. Love the officer portraits! Is there any artwork for Danish Infantry Equipment? I'd love to see some Krag Jorgensen representation.
Oh you better believe those are in there! It might even be so that the Landstorm unit is holding one in the pic from the DD, but I'm not 100% sure

I am a bit confused regarding the end-game though; like how do the three focuses differ? The way I read it, you can get the Baltics without taking that focus, and in either case, wouldn't Germany, the Soviets or even Poland also be significant threats to Baltic dominion? Avenging 1864 also seems kinda dull on its own given that pretty much every country in the game gets a war with Germany whether they like it or not.

So, could we get some more info on what these focuses do? Is it extra cores? Mostly cosmetic? Thematic buffs? Or is it something beefier, like refederating Germany?

Also, just to be clear, it's specifically the Danelaw that's fascist only, right?
The end focuses will give you claims on different countries, and "Avenging 1864" will also make certain German states cheaper to take in a peace deal. Denmark will also have decisions to form new countries; specifically the North Sea Empire and the Baltic Sea Empire which gives you cores, so these end focuses should help you get to where you're able to take these decisions.
what does pan scandinavism focus give you ?

Looks Amazing!
Just one question:
View attachment 1020667
Shouldn't "Territory for Protection" and "Nordic Security" be mutually exclusive?

Ohh and can we see the Danish Portraits?
Nope, that's fully intended. Isn't it your obligation to protect the Nordic peoples if you yourself are fully taking advantage of being protected by, say, the USA? ;) A piece of security and stability will surely be greeted with open arms by the Northern countries!
Oh, another thing I noted was the localisation. I know I'm not the biggest fan of this aspect in general, but I did find it especially questionable that you're referring to Iceland as "Island". I mean, afaik that or "Ísland" would be correct. However, in the context of the focus tree it does create ambiguity and potential confusion.

I mean, it isn't a huge thing, and players aren't stupid, but I just wanna double check if "Develop Island" is intentional.
"Island" is fully intended, but you do bring up a good point!
Is the next dd going to be finland alt history?
No, the next DD will be Modding - THEN I believe it's Finland's turn
In the focus "Negotiate a trade deal" there's something about "subsidizing" Denmark. Will this mechanic be explained more in-depth or it's just a peace-time lend-lease? Also, is there a modding dev diary coming out about international markets?
I'm not quite sure what next week's Modding DD will entail, but there will be a separate DD about the International Market. But in short; subsidies means you get to buy equipment cheaper from one or several countries, while on the other hand, those countries don't lose out. Basically, you'll just pay for the equipment faster.
Given this information on how Denmark may secure foreign equipment, can we subsidize purchases within the International Market?

Let's say I am the United States, and I have a massive surplus of Infantry Equipment; I understand another country, with whom lend-lease may not presently be an option, could use some of that surplus and it would be in my best interest that they are able to get their hands on it. Or perhaps I still want to turn SOME profit, but not necessarily lend-lease.

Is it possible to purposefully undercut the price of my equipment for that country?

If the typical price of 1000 rifles is X, can I make the concerted choice to discount them as less than X to ensure the country can receive them quick or for cheaper?
Yes you can, but you can't target specific countries with the price setting. This is how it's currently implemented, BUT THIS IS ALL WIP. More about the International Market will be revealed in a future DD
