HoI4 Dev Diary - God Save the King: British Focus Tree Rework

[General Waluigi]

Why has nobody noticed this yet?

Look below the Party Popularity pie chart: Exiled Governments!

I also notice new icons on the map. Look at the naval bases! I would presume the wrenches mean ships are repairing.

 

[Shinkuro Yukinari]

We must have George Orwell as a leader of the UK!

 

[Ⰽⰻⱃⰻⰾⰾ]

Is there any chance for Japanese-Brittish communist alliance if they would be both antisoviet? We need such event/decision.

 

[Bratyn]

Also, what's going to happen to the democratic British Empire focus trees if Britain goes Communist or Fascist and they split off?

What happen to the dominion countries if they chose the Wesminster path in their focus tree and then Britain take a decision which force them to declare independence? They would be unable to take the most logical pathes.

TFV focus tree interaction is a tough nut to crack here, but we have some ideas that we’ll be working on later in development.

 

[Trevok]

Is there a chance that you will fix the portrait for Tim Buck for Canada and Alf Landon for America and Dewey?

 

[Liquid Ghost]

Is Ireland on the hit list that a Fascist UK would target?

 

[balmung60]

Is there a way in this rework to change the ruling party to Labour or otherwise get Clem Atlee as Head of State?

don't forget dewey!

I guess it's part of the "Consolidate the British Isles" focus, unless it's about building forts, AA or military factories, so it would be available for both fascist and non-aligned pathes.

But the fascists don't get that. The monarchists do.

 

[Chaos128]

good work, I especially like the creativity regarding the alt-history paths!

 

[Temudhun Khan]

But the fascists don't get that. The monarchists do.

"God Save the King" looks like it can be picked by either of them.

 

[FieldMedic]

Really really good dev diary this week! Tons of detail and a great read to boot! Britain is my favourite nation to play as and the new focus tree looks like it'll make them that much more interesting!

 

[Te. Kenzo]

It would very likely be fleshed out more in a hypothetical middle-eastern rework

For now, you should add a simply guarantee of UK for both countries (Yemen and Oman too), to rapresent the fact that you can't simply meddle with them.

good work, I especially like the creativity regarding the alt-history paths!

Whether King's Party or Blackshirts, I'd expect a bullseye being painted on Ireland somewhere around here:

 

[Frozen Yakman]

Will there be any new bypasses or blocks put on some of the old focuses. For example if the Netherlands joins the UK's faction, will Netherlands intervention bypass or be blocked? Similarly if Australia assumes control of Malaysia will that part of the UK tree bypass so Britain can still intervene against Japan?

When politics over rules common sense a target will get painted over Eire. Sadly, Politicians are not famous for being sensible on anything outside of politics..

 

[Spartanlemur]

"God Save the King" looks like it can be picked by either of them.

The monarchists aren't really fascists though. The fascist path has the fewest options of any.

EDIT: Ah, the monarchist path has unaligned+monarchist versions. I didn't notice that and thought they were distinct.

 

[Darkeng]

Hmm, really looks good

PS: on 4th of July? I see what you did here.

 

[philjd]

Have to day that I like the look so far, but the devil is in the details as to what each does. Like others, a peaceful route to a Federal/Democratic Imperial Union would be superb.
