HoI4 Dev Teasers (previously Podcat's Twitter Teasers)

If it's Trot Mexico, by God there'd better be some mechanic added representing the Trotskyite-Stalinist split.

I doubt that will happen this update. Whilst @podcat has stated they want to rework internal politics at some point (more sub-ideologies for example), shoehorning it in this patch would be the wrong way to go about it. Better to have a patch dedicated to that aspect specifically.

No doubt, but there'll have to be something or else Trotsky will join Stalin's faction every game - literally unplayable.

Mexico, Trotsky, etc etc... Since they so helpfully leaked the last nation three weeks ago, I was actually hoping for more naval stuff right now, especially with last's weeks amazing DD

You guys are all gonna have egg on your faces when the Tuvan People's Republic tree is unveiled.

Would rather see some new naval mechanic to be honest. The good new is there is no need to keep pressing F5 tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder how the Mexican focuses will work with the Canadian facist tree.

 

[Mega_Rosalina]

It would be very interesting to see how Mexico would work against the new USA; like the MtG trailer talks about the Battle of Gulf; so I get the impression that its going to be a US vs Mexican battle for the Gulf of Mexico.

I feel like the main core naval mechanics are far away from beeing able to be shown. I mean last week they couldn't even show a little teaser for the designer, so I wouldn't be surprised if we need to wait like a month or so, to see some deeper naval mechanics.

1846 Start confirmed - US/Mexican war

Yeah and I think Podcat also mentioned that the build of the ship designed last week looked bad in its current form. As the teaser suggests, we're probably getting the Mexico tree this week, and I'm guessing that there will be another bag of tricks diary next week with the ship designed being shown off in November. I may be wrong and the ship designer may be next week.

Also that they still haven't decided on whether to introduce a new ressource makes me doubt they are close to a release.

It most probably... won't.
I mean, neighboring countries with focus trees released at the same usually don't take into account each other's possible alt-his pathes, why would it be different for two countries three dlc apart?

Oh boy, Trotsky-ception is gonna be a thing.

I really hope that's not the case. Having Mao in a three-way war with himself pop up in China before WtT always ruined my immersion.

Otherwise, I'd be fine with it as long as they add a decisions to stablish a Soviet-Mexican personal union, preferably with the option of DIRECT RULE FROM MEXICO CITY.

 

[Vohen]

personal union

Comrades, get this imperialist scum outta here.

 

[Dlin369]

Every country a Trotsky?

 

[Ragnor Ironpants]

Presumably it won't be Trotsky leading Mexico, but a Mexican Trot, because otherwise they'd have to change too much of the Soviet events and tree.

I believe the only alteration needed would be to check on the Soviet event that brings Trotsky back which branch Mexico is going for, not firing if they are going commie.
I don't think he's going to be the leader anyway, but that's because I believe it would be too memey, having a Señor Hilter in a very obscure event might be fine, but having a whole branch of your FT like this is a little too much.
Trotsky could still be made a powerful minister though, and that would indeed not block anything from the Soviets, as if the event fires, one minister would simply become unavailable.

 

[Duke_Dave]

I just imagine the possibilities. Invading the soviet union after having defaeted the US to install Trotky in the USSR as Mexico.

It's time for Juan Posadas to drop the bomb, and wait for the Interstellar vanguard.

That would be amazing. The memes would be top notch.
