I have few suggestions and found few bugs.

1) if you make capo supremo focus you can change cosmetic into Repubblica sociale italiana and add small focus tree to Italian East Africa, and add a small focus if you choose new fascist leader, maybe under divino duce branch, to choose to remove king and proclaim repubblica sociale italiana or keep him.

2) Can you let Portugal bypass join axis and remove instable Republic in another way or focus when it is in faction with fascist Italy o Germany? Same thing for Join tripartite pact for Bulgaria since if those countries join Italy faction their focuses are unlocked. And maybe use their research focuses with the fascist country leader they have joined faction for example or Italy or Germany.

3) if you can fix Falangist spain unit 3D model since when you go Falangist it makes the unit the same as the Carlist ones and after 1945 all Spanish 3D units models become the general ones.

4) Add a king of Spain Alfonse XIII idea if fascist Francois Spain decide to restore the monarchy.

5) Add Umberto II idea when King Vittorio Emanuele III dies.

6) fix Italian Hegemony idea icon, which doesn’t seem written the GFX well and so appears a question mark

7) Let Italy to create Croatian puppet with Bosnia and Herzegovina cored and Hellenic state.

8) add to Greater Italy a separate decision to core Crete and Dodecanese for let players to form it and have Greece as an ally

Would be a really good balance for raj considering they have like 3 railroad focuses of 70 days only adding traintracks...

Well, when they showed off the Expansion Pass, the *next* DLC, Graveyard of Empires country pack, includes India, so they're probably avoiding taking time on that for *this* expansion.

This is great, but I have one question, why don't the Australian and Raj railroad focuses have this or anything similar (like a 100% boost towards researching trains?) Would be a really good balance for raj considering they have like 3 railroad focuses of 70 days only adding traintracks...

Presumably because the Commonwealth countries are getting overhauled next year, so they want to hold out until then.

I would also like to know about the AI force concentration feature.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they talk about this in one of the earlier DDs?
 
Seems USSR is still unplayable* due to Ilyushin not being CAS designer.

At least there is a lot new content for other nations to play with.

*On a serious note, for me this is indeed kind of immersion breaking if I cannot create the most iconic WW2 aircraft with said nation. Very easily fixable by mod, but eh... Never played USSR without mods since the MIO DLC due to this...

Now we just need it to no longer be mutually exclusive with the carrier branch
;)


I'm very happy that this is getting addressed, but I recall the buildings/slots deletion also happening if you annex territory that you already have cores on (unless my memory is fooling me). Does the fix apply to these cases as well?
Click to expand...
I don't know actually. It's one define somewhere that controls it, and one static modifier that controls something else iirc.

I fixed one of them, but when I discovered there was another instance of where it could happen it was too late to change. If it's still borked I'll prolly have to fix it in Goe

As the french defensive focuses are changed due to the changes in fortifications, how will this affect switzerland? In General you get very high fortifications very fast especially in Mountains, which is now reduced below the gained fortification up to +7, before any research is done. Is there a change to the focuses too for Switzerland? Otherwise we will see either the forts going over the maximum permitted or they will be wasted making many focuses a waste for Switzerland even though they need to be done to go further down some paths.
Click to expand...
@PDX_Per It seems the same was done for the Czechoslovakian Focuses, was Switzerland forgotten?
 
Please fix Dardanelles in next patch. Its not on list here :/
 
I can't see it on the patch notes but any changes on how collaboration/resistance work? Or a buff for Ethiopia focus Support Anti-colonialist Resistance ? As getting these revolt going when the compliance is almost at 100% is a fickle thing to say the least, otherwise the new Congo focus will be as useless as the Ethiopian one if it's the same.
