Decisions and National Foci

[Rudolf Hessbart]

I really like the idea of having national foci. But is there anythin which can serve as decisions? Imagine I would make a very complex mod with all kinds of different outcomes, how would my national focus tree look like if I had to bring in foci far all kinds of different set ups Decisions would apper more spontanously. By the way. Decisions can be used more than only one time.

Edit: It would be great if there would be some foci which would only appear under certain circumstances.

National Focuses all have requirements in order to be doable. I doubt there ever will be hidden ones, but i guess you could do that via event if you want them to appear only at certain times, or set an specific date as the requirement for your national focus.

Thanks, but that's not the same. But it seems I will have to live with it

Decisions and National Foci are essentialy the same. Danzig or War for example, which was an decision in HoI III and is an Focus in HoI IV. You need to fullfill certain requirements just as the decisions did. Instead of pushing an green checkmark you now activate national focuses tho.

One of the first things i am going to add to the german tree will be an focus chain for the atlantic wall, to support the naval fort construction, since i wonder why such thing doesnt already exist since it was, well, quiet an big german national focus to get that thing up and running.

No they are not. The main difference is that foci are static and they are always visible to the player. For example the british player knows from the very start that he is going to invade Iraq. Decisions on the other hand are only visible when they are needed. That means that the player get's some kind of "feeling the randomness".

Also. Imagine I want to make a reforms mod. I will get a decision with a few options like huge minimum wages/no minimum wages and so on. When I choose one I will get a result after a year or so. Then I want to be able to access the decision again. As far as I know a national focus can't be "researched" again.
