If anything, I'd be poddog!
But in all seriousness, it's just much simpler for Content Designers to write the Dev Diaries on the focus trees they've been working on (besides, @podcat is slacking off on vacation so...
). He'll be back as your regular Dev Diary host after the summer vacation, interspersed with some other team members.
@Bratyn
A few questions
1.) no focus about the Admiralty?
2.) No Imperial Federation?
3.) What happens to South Africa if you go fascist there and go for king edward and if king edward is the king of the UK?
4.) Similarly what if you go communist/fascist as the rest of the dominions and the UK goes commie/fascist?
5.) in the royal marriage for Edward, who does he marry?
1. As stated, the naval branch of "Rearmament" is pending some new features. We'll flesh it out once those are in place.
2. No, but the 'old' Imperial branch hasn't really received much attention thus far. As stated, this is quite early in implementation (a lot earlier than Germany was when we showed that off, for instance).
3. Also as stated, we have some ideas for these types of conflicts between UK and Dominions. Generally, the approach will be "UK has priority over Dominions".
4. See 3.
5. Also Wallis Simpson. The difference between the two marriages is that in a Royal Marriage she actually becomes Queen, which is likely to upset people even more than the other option, while not really having any clear benefits over it.
It's all about America: it gives a wargoal on the USA (as by that point in the tree it's the only part of the 'anglosphere' you do not already have control over or at least wargoals on).
Probably not as simple as that - Imperial Germany can still go after France/Britain by challenging their colonial position, after all.
We will see how we handle this, exactly, but the idea is you definitely will not be needing TfV to be able to enjoy MtG's content.
Harry Pollit is indeed going to be the country leader after turning Communist.
This is basically exactly the rationale for why the fascist tree leads to an alliance with Italy.
Just as well you didn't choose this
Actually...
It refers to Churchill's face now being in 2 of the focus icons as well instead of just his ruler portrait

Also thanks to the team for the unexpected China fix / minor patch, which leads to my complain: no other fixes / patches expected until MtG really?
Unfortunately - yes: we usually only roll out updates whenever a new DLC is released, and a few weeks afterwards (the 'post-release update'). You'll have to wait a bit longer
As for HoI4 being understaffed - this is not the case at all. The team is roughly similarly-sized as most of our other projects.
Enclaves wouldn't be relevant for this, as these would already be returned by the earlier focus in that tree that returns foreign-claimed territory to those countries. Instead, what I meant is that it's quite random which countries stay and which leave. I may end up adding extra weights to make it more likely (or even ensure) for some tags to remain than others, but I haven't even done the script for this yet so at this point anything could happen.
I read it the same day you wrote it, and I have also rated it helpful (though it would seem that the forums logged me out or otherwise bugged when I tried to do so, because I now see it does not show I rated it at all - that's a mistake I apologize for). I haven't responded to it in more detail yet because I haven't yet had the time to see which things can/should be implemented, in which forms, and to which lengths.
In general you can assume I read everything I get pinged on, and if I don't reply it's most likely because I either don't agree with it, I haven't had time to formulate a plan of implementation yet, or I'm currently working on something else and plan to take a more in-depth look again when I'm once again working on the subject the comment/suggestion pertains to. I prefer to make written replies when I know I can commit to something. Helpful/agree/respectful disagree ratings should show I'm aware of something until I am able to make such a reply.
In general, though, it's a useful list which I intend to use when I make another update/polish pass on the UK tree. However, as above, I can't yet say which things will be adjusted or in which ways they will be adjusted. Thanks for taking the time to write it up, though
And no, though playable, the tree isn't finished yet. There is a reason no release date has been announced, yet
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy it
I've now worked through your and @James Hale 's feedback, and implemented solutions to most of the stuff you guys mentioned. You'll hear more shortly.As for the Imperial Conference, it's available as long as the dominions have the same ideology as you do.
Glad to take your feedback, and happy to have implemented some of it, but I do want to point out that 4 out of the very next 5 replies after I mentioned I had fixed some stuff were requests to fix more things. If you do not get an answer when you point out issues, it is not necessarily because we didn't read it or even didn't do it, but it might also be because if we say we've fixed something we get drowned in a torrent of new requests that we don't have time for, and we feel bad for having to say no to you guys
No worries! I will see what among the new stuff I can get done, but no guarantees. I very much appreciate your enthusiasm, though, so thank you! ^^
