When you (Paradox) said that you will return country packs again my idea came to play. The Arabian Nations Played A Small Part In WWII But Still Played A Part, Iraq Sold Oil To Germany And Saudi Arabia Sold Oil To The Allies. Iraq Was Also Invaded By The Allies, So They Had An Impact On The War. So They Sould Get Some Focus Trees, And The Arabian countries of Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and Qatar were never in the British Empire, They were protectorates, so why don't you make them independent but guaranteed by the UK! And give the following countries a focus tree (Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Iraq) Nothing too big but respectable. Now when I played Kuwait and The UAE with all countries decolonized rules the divisions flags were upside down. You Should research about these nations by asking the people who live there. And Can You Please Make The Straits Of Hurmuz An Actual Strait Like The Bosporus, The Suez And Gibraltar. Please Don't Forget To Make Some New States And Provinces In The Arabian Peninsula.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Name Suggestions:
Legacy Of Arabia

I honor you invested work, but even with the capacity split of country content designers and main team, there are still hot spots.
Indeed it is called WW2, but the main conflicts took place in Europe and Pacific Theatre, China, South East Asia and of course North Africa for 3 years.
Everything you try to model in detail may not disbalance the entire game play.
After each update, the game should run in historical mode as in the update before.
Every nation pack just adds ahistorical game options, for the achievement hunters interesting, for some locals of patriotic importance, but for 95% of the players another investment for few benefit.
Scandinavian countries are missing and also Switzerland and Belgium could be focused soon.

French and British Mandates should have the same tree the only difference is their interaction with their European overlords (France/Britain). In addition, French Mandate would deal more with the Kurds and Lebanese while the British Mandate would deal more with the Jewish and Palestinian diaspora in Israel and finding a way to make a compromise to keep stability high.

Then major trees would be for Saudi Arabia (to unify the Arabian world via different ideologies), and Iran (to do the same thing as Saudi Arabia but from a different area and from a Persian Empire perspective).

Most people that play hoi4 play unhistorical and alternate history. The historical side is actually in the minor section.


I would honestly support a country pack of the small Middle Eastern nations. Just to see the community lose its collective mind over it. That's worth the price of the DLC alone.

It'll only be the very vocal part of the community that loses its mind. Most players play these ahistorical paths and enjoy them over the historical side. It was proven actually by the devs during one of the La resistance Dev Diarys.

You're Right. I Really Love The Ahistorical Parts Of Hoi4 More Than Historical. The Reason Behind That some of the historical decisions IRL Are Stupid And I Always Think wat would Happen If This went differently.

Well, I assume the biggest reason people enjoy the Ahistorical/Alt-history/Fantasy parts of the game is that, historical games play out the exact same way every time if you actually follow the historical side. The game gets boring after a while. Plus, if they truly made this a historical game, it would have even less players playing it. You know why? Because historically, the axis lost. If you play the game and it ends the EXACT SAME WAY, every time then whats the point of playing the Axis? It'll just be boring being forced to lose. No one wants to lose.

That being said, the Axis wins generally most of the time from what I've seen and that really has to deal with the AI not doing well over all. America not doing very well with Naval invasions, no one giving USSR supplies, USSR crumbling way too easily. Etc etc.

You probably saw my thread for a Middle Eastern rework, as I went over a few of the same ideas. But it's clear you have a strong interest in the region and probably did some research before posting. I like how you want to add Bahrain as a new state - right now it's just part of Qatar or something and isn't even represented in the game at all. My problem with your proposal is the existence of the communist paths - as far as I know, communist revolutions were just not ever going to happen in the Middle East in the 1930s. My opinion is that alt-history should be plausible, and if it's a major stretch, it should not be immersion breaking. Unfortunately, most communist and fascist paths are extremely contrived.

My second question is: do you plan on having the countries like Kuwait or the Trucial States as British puppets at the start of the game or what? Currently, they are just owned directly by the UK. Releasing them and then playing as them after the start date would probably screw up the historical timing of their focus trees, as would puppeting them.

You probably saw my thread for a Middle Eastern rework, as I went over a few of the same ideas. But it's clear you have a strong interest in the region and probably did some research before posting. I like how you want to add Bahrain as a new state - right now it's just part of Qatar or something and isn't even represented in the game at all. My problem with your proposal is the existence of the communist paths - as far as I know, communist revolutions were just not ever going to happen in the Middle East in the 1930s. My opinion is that alt-history should be plausible, and if it's a major stretch, it should not be immersion breaking. Unfortunately, most communist and fascist paths are extremely contrived.

My second question is: do you plan on having the countries like Kuwait or the Trucial States as British puppets at the start of the game or what? Currently, they are just owned directly by the UK. Releasing them and then playing as them after the start date would probably screw up the historical timing of their focus trees, as would puppeting them.
First Of All I Said That These Are Some Ideas For Path, You Are Right About Communism In The Region. My Interest In These Countries Are Because I Lived In Kuwait For Three Year Then Move To Qatar, Then Finally Returning Home After 2 More Years.
Now On To Kuwait: Kuwait Was A Protectorate So I Suggest That They Have A Guarantee Of Independence And Give The UK Military And Docking Rights.
UAE: I Don't Know Much About Their History But They Should Be In The Same Boat As Kuwait (Along With Qatar Bahrain And Oman).
Kuwait Influenced A lot Of Battles In The First War And Help The Brits Against The Ottomans Without Joining The War By Letting The UK Use The Kuwaiti Flag On their Mail Boats To The British Raj.

Edit: As You Might Have Noticed I Started With Kuwaiti Communism With Alot Of Ideas, But The More Countries I did The Stupider It Looked.
P.S: I Just Finished Your Thread And I Agree With Some Of Your Points And I Can't Believe I Forgot Egypt As well As Mandates Of Syria And Lebanon / Palestine.

Well, I assume the biggest reason people enjoy the Ahistorical/Alt-history/Fantasy parts of the game is that, historical games play out the exact same way every time if you actually follow the historical side. The game gets boring after a while. Plus, if they truly made this a historical game, it would have even less players playing it. You know why? Because historically, the axis lost. If you play the game and it ends the EXACT SAME WAY, every time then whats the point of playing the Axis? It'll just be boring being forced to lose. No one wants to lose.

Historically means in MP until 09/39 with few alternatives but of course different setup of troops.
Historically in SP is almost rtge same. Germany builds up for war in autumn 39, the other majors do for challenge more or less the same. If Germany does not escalate, the AI won't offer you a nice, challenging war game.

True, but you'll see Italy doing weird things, Romania, Soviet Union going for war with Japan or ht allies, Japan being really late to the China party. You'll see Britain decolonizing and honestly just alot of shenanigans with the alt-history turned on.

I wish there was more randomness though with Germany and USA doing their alt history paths like communism/facist for USA and non aligned/democraft for Germany. I would love for even more like Columbia going balls in for a world ocnquest and all the other fun stuff!

Personally, I'd like to see Egypt become a puppet of the UK with its own tree, and Iraq and Iran to get trees. I don't think the Arabian peninsular states need trees as fascinating as they are, if only because they are too small to have much impact on anything outside of some madman minor run (which to be fair are fun).

I did some research I to those countries myself and basically except Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Saudi-Arabia they are really too poor, small and irrelevant to warrant their own focus tree.

But If They Could Just Make It Historical And Make Them (Kuwait, UAE, Qatar And Bahrain) Only Guaranteed Independence Without Focus trees I'll Be Happy. They Just Have To Fix The Qatar/Bahrain State And The Unit Flags Being Upside Down For Kuwait And UAE And I'll Be Satisficed

I'd support the idea of making a regional focus tree for the Arabian states, along the lines of what the Chinese warlords have. I support the same idea for the Baltic states too. I'm no expert on 20th century Arabian history, but I don't think there's enough potential unique content to justify a whole DLC just for Arabia. I would prefer a DLC focused on other Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan (the former two actually having a minor role in WW2). I'd also be in favour of places like Egypt, Palestine and Syria becoming puppets/mandates of Britain and France. Many mods do this and it's a good idea.

But they were de facto puppets. Basically make them collaboration regimes. Would be the est solution in my view.
