Greece Still Doesn't Have a Focus Tree

USSR will come next year (I believe Autumn-Winter because of his magnitude)

La Resistance is coming before Christmas.

bullshit that La Resistance is coming before Christmas. They would have said so if it was, since the last time they released dlc in december, poor feedback amongst the communisty, and if it was in november, they'd say something about it

Video very much related.

I see what you mean. The Philippines really do need a focus tree.

Since Bulgaria came up, I just wanted to remind people that Paradox said long ago, after Death and Dishonor was released, that omitting the country was a conscious choice. The decision was based on Bulgaria's lack of involvement in meaningful combat and unique equipment.

Don't forget the lazy excuse of it being 'not interesting enough' aka 'we couldn't be bothered to do any research on it'.

Also, boy did that underlined statement not age well...

I have found no sources stating that, and have looked very deep to find wherever the release date it. If you claim that it's coming out before christmas, and have actual proof, can you show me please?

Really I don't wanna call anyone names, but it is reasonable to keep the good things in behind. For a sales-strategy reason!
If they would sale DLC's ,one after the other, like ger-brit-sov-us-ita-fra-spa nobody would buy bul-tur-por-hun-rom-swe........
It's easier to get money out of the people that way like you sell something that just a nicheplayer would play+the new navalwar/espionage then to give everyone a nice tree and a functional tree and add the new navalwar/espionage later on.
Sorry just my 2 cts 'cause I'm a lil dissapointed after feeled 6 years on waiting to play this game in a manner I like to play it.
(although I helped in a many mods to get this progressed....but I resigned)

Yeah Portugal and Mexico getting focus tree before Greece, Bulgary, Norway or Finland is quite strange. I expected a mediterranean DLC with France and Italy as Majors and Spain Greece and Bulgary as minors.

Honestly I am guessing that the rework of France, and Spain/Portugal added trees cost so much production time that they had to cut the rest of the Mediterranean from the DLC. Though the addition of espionage makes up for that and does make sense as to why they probably cut it. It seems like this DLC has plenty of new mechanics that I can't way to play with.

Spain

This tree I'm counting as two trees rather than one. If its big enough you could get a two-for-one focus tree

That's a fair assumption, and I'd tend to agree. Been getting back into HOI myself, and the lack of depth with the Italian tree, along with no trees for Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran and such (along with the limitations of earlier trees, namely ones which came with Death or dishonour such as Czech, Yugo, Romania and Hungary). Heck even Poland could do with a rework once the Soviets get done in the context of a Scani-Nordic workover.. At least in the context of a Med do-over, at least the focus trees from DoD don't need to be redoneor hugely overhauled, just fleshed out a little bit.

Along such work, they would also need to tweak the map a bit in this regard too. This requires more provinces in Italy (such as Liguria, Umbria, Puglia). Same in Greece (Break up Macedonias and the Thraces, maybe an interior province to make Epirus coastal), Northern Epirus, break up Bulgaria a little (north / south of Evros/Maritsa river for Plovdid/Philippopolos), facilitate Balkan war boundaries and the possibility of Greater Bulgaria, Megali Idea and Turkish reconquest. Break up of Savoy/Savoia and Nice/Nizza, and do the same with the Istria / Triesta / Carinola and Dalmatia a bit.
