They are definitely on the list of things we want to fix, but I can't comment on what will or won't be in the next DLC.

Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
I heard tell that the Soviet tree is so big it takes two DLC's to make it fit on a computer. Thankfully, they will only charge half price for both.I wonder how big the Soviet tree will be
I have been looking forward to it for years now. Very excited to say the least

I think it was -way- too early to get telemtry if you are going to figure out if your trees need work... You're only getting information that people are trying OUT these trees. You need to gather more information to how the game plays out before doing these posts so we can all figure out where your trees need work, not that the community doesn't already know. *Cough* Turkey *Cough*
As for your comment about releasing a game where you can play as Byzantine Emperor, sure, but the combat is not the same as Hearts of Iron which is one of the biggest reasons I've stayed with Hoi4. I disliked the combat of IMperator: Rome so I stick with this. CK3 looks identical to that.

I have only tried to play Turkey with the new DLC. I felt like I was playing a country with its own name. This country is not like the others. It is unique. In multiple meaningful ways.
When I realized the Turkish content was going to need some rebalancing, along with the other nations, I paused playing. I want to enjoy them at their best, so eagerly await the betas.

Soviet rework confirmed? I hope so. Then we can have Russian Civil War part 2. And if I would have to guess the other nations would be the Nordic Nations (Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland), but then again it could just as easily be South America too!

@Archangel85 how about adding a 5th Research Slot, especially as Kemalist Turkey once they become a Major Power? (Whether Reconfiguring Foreign Policy or Prioritizing Balkan Integrity)
The Ottomans can at least have 4 Research Slots to better represent their traditionalist mold (with the 5th Slot being the joint academy focus with the Kaiser).
Overall, good job. I had fun shifting favors with the Great Powers as Ismet Inonu.

Well, it is not like it makes any sense choosing the Stalinist path in your game. So maybe more like a design flaw of yours.

The Stalinist path will probably be more useful in MP games when as Bulgaria you know your neighbors won't be turning communist without a little "help" so getting the USSR to aid you in giving them said "help" will be prty good plus you can still form the Balkan Federation if you go Stalinist so yay.

Not anymore, since now playing Democratic is not a "wee i am a lil baby bitch and am too scared to expand" like Megali Greece for example, you expand but you're still democratic and still join the allies, i'd say you're boring if you go for any path other than Megali or Byzantine Greece since those other two paths are boRING as fuCK or Independent Democratic Netherlands (imo the strongest Netherlands), but if you were to play Democratic Japan or Germany in Single-Player then...yes....you're boring as fuck xD.

Curious if I can ask how many people play Liberia. I assume you count each game-start. I've thus shown up 10 or 15 times.
I honestly wonder if its just me playing Liberia.
At MOST it should be locked behind being in a faction with a major, not railroaded to Kaiser/Austria.@Archangel85 how about adding a 5th Research Slot, especially as Kemalist Turkey once they become a Major Power? (Whether Reconfiguring Foreign Policy or Prioritizing Balkan Integrity)

The Ottoman path is far too reliant on the CP's in general, I don't understand what the rationale was there. The Ottoman Empire as a concept had very little ideologically to do with the idea of a Central Powers - ffs Austria and Turkey were rivals for most of history.
I expected to see some sort of break in how you reshape the Empire, between the Young Turks and an older ottoman model, with "Nizâm-ı Alem" (concept of Ottoman-Islamic hegemony/Pax Ottomania) referenced at least once, as it was the cornerstone of Ottoman policy for hundreds of years. But instead you're quite literally forced in the focus tree to try and reform the CP's.
Nothing against the CPs, could have been a cool feature on the YT side of the focus tree, but I don't understand where the freelance devs of BFTB got the idea that the Ottoman Empire was inexorably linked to the concept of German-Austrian friendship (or randomly puppeting Afghanistan and **shia** Iran because Islamic scholars exist
)Anyway it's too late to totally change the focus tree at the very least in the near future, although for me it would be welcome, but I do agree at least tweak it in terms of time and research so it's more playable.

Is there any hope you guys might move the northern-most province of Epirus to Central Macedonia for a better occupation border and add Northern Dobrudja to allow for a Irredentist Bulgaria to Claim and Core it (since that was also claimed by Bulgaria since pre-WW1) in a later patch or at worst at 1.11? (i say worst at 1.11 because it would be preferable to have it within a 1.10 patch.)

Definitely on 1.11 since map database change are added on major patches, not the minor ones.
At least i thought the main team would help to add Northern Dobrudja and add a Dobrudja Question chain event like the Transylvania Question one for BftB since it is basically DoD 2.0. Y'know, the one with 16 events and 25 outcomes.....

In general it is a good dlc, but i think there are many problems to solve: if you try to restore the ottomans you are not able to achieve the focus of the central powers until 1940 (is the fastest i can get to it) and for that time Germany is already in war and húngary is in the axis too, Austria and chzecoslovaquia doesn t exist. Could you move this focus to an earlier date? Or increase the odds of Germany choosing oppose hitler (i have more than 100 games with hungary and Germany never picks this focus in ahistorical while UK becomes whatever they want in each game, totally unfear because many nations have ahistorical focuses that are limíted by germany) (also I have never seen the ai starting the civil war as USA to go communist or fascist)
Greece is fantastic to be able to form Byzantium, but I find a problem in dealing with Albania: even becoming fascist and signing non agression pact with Italy, when you declare war to Albania they always join even with the non agression pact.
Bulgaria is quite nice too, but the main problem I see is that I have already played 15 times as Bulgaria but in every game Yugoslavia doesn’t accept the friendship treaty (blocking all the focuses) and they Neves pick the communist focuses.
Very confusing how to deal with the Kurdish people as turkey, don’t understand why I have to spend 100 pp if it doesn’t solve anything.
For the rest very insteresting dlc, are you going to rework the supply management or tanks/planes for the next one ?
Great job!

Absolutely agree on the military side, I would also very much want the dockyards foci on the military side available earlier if not right away without requiring the other two parts of the armed forces first.
Expanding naval production as early as possible is necessary if you want to invest into the navy at all and make a surface fleet that may have some impact and not just spam submarines and naval bombers since building any kind of larger ship will usually take 1-3 years.

Well, i also thought they would fix the Epirus-Macedonian border by release since someone had pointed it out during a dev diary, still i really hope they add N.Dobrudja and fix the Epirus-Macedonian border before 1.11, lest we have to wait another half year for it.
