Is there any way to visualize a Acquire Territory Wargoal

[Magnus Imperator Rex]

Is there any way I can visualize the region Im trying to acquire based on the wargoal ``Acquire Territory`` from a foreign country?

I ask this because as Japan Im trying to acquire diverse territories from the USSR. However, even though I sort of know where some of these territories are, I have no idea how big they are in province sizes or what they look like in the map. And to compound the problem, there are even some territories that I want to claim but I don`t know where they are located and what they would look like if they were part of my empire.

The game should hightlight the territories you want to acquire from your enemies via wargoals. It would be much simpler than trying to guess what provinces correspond to ''Region X Acquire territory``.

Any suggestions? Is there a map with the ''Acquire Territory'' regions ?

With the acquire territory war goal you can pick regions you want to annex. If you don’t know where a region is and/or how big it is, switch to the region map mode. By moving your cursor over provinces, you can see which region they are part of.

Yeah I know what Acquire Territory is, I just didn't know how to find the regions map wise.

Your answer was very helpful. Also, is there a way to specifically see highlighted all the regions in the world that can be obtained through the Acquire Territory Wargoal mechanics?

 

[Oof]

No, its not like EU

Sadly, the Wargoal system was only partially implemented. There's no easy way to highlight or visualize a region, you have to hover over each of the provinces individually to see what regions they're part of. Worse, there are a lot of areas with no assigned Wargoals.

One of the more frustrating moments in the game relating to regions and wargoals was when I tried claiming a region that was historically part of the country I was playing, but the only wargoals available were either the tiny portion of it that was regained historically, or else everything BUT the region I wanted. The only viable option was to conquer the entire country to get the 1/4 of it that I wanted. In another case, there wasn't a single "Claim Territory" or "Reclaim Cores" wargoal available, despite my country having cores there, only "Conquer" or "Puppet". In a few other cases, there are literally dozens of wargoals available for a country, some of them only marginally different from each other.

The idea was good, but the implementation was never finished.

I often have to go to google to find out where the territory is...

I wish HoI4 should choose EU4 way of selecting province. Hoi3's Engine(include Vicky2) is too annoying and not easy to understand.

 

[Oof]

And I hope it's made possible to handover territory, from a conquered/beaten country, to Allies and/or puppets and vice versa.

Hand over territory, but NOT "all or nothing". I'm sharply reminded of the "Create Puppet" button, which will release a puppet with every province that they have a core on, even if YOU also have a core there. In essence, your choices are to either surrender your own cores, or don't create a puppet. If I didn't want my own cores, I wouldn't have fought a war over them in the first place.

There has to be some kind of mechanism for deciding what provinces you give up.

You can see what is part of which region..
Just go to the region mapmode and hover over the certain provinces. Regions that can be taken in war have a * next to their name.
It's kinda frustrating, yes, because it can only be seen in text.

Is that something that could be addressed via mod?

I guess you are the go to guy in this situation

Will try to play your mod soon btw.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Me? Mod? Hell, I consider myself lucky when the computer actually turns on when I push the on button.
I am a proud Mod Moocher, not a Mod Maker.

It's been partially addressed in a number of mods, in that additional wargoals have been added. As for a system for viewing what you're claiming, that's something which would require additions/changes to the executable files (not moddable), I believe. While I can do a few simple tweaks (REALLY basic mods strictly for my own game), the effort to figure out and then actually sit down and do wargoals for umpteen gazillion countries is a lot more than I care to get into.

Are there any mods that only add Wargoals?

I still want the vainilla experience but this wargoals..

Pretty sure there are several minor mods that add one or two specific wargoals for certain countries, but I can't think of any that add a significant number of them without also dramatically affecting gameplay. You might want to see if there's a small "immersion" mod for the specific country you're playing, which is more likely to include additional options for that country (including wargoals), and less likely to alter game mechanics for the rest of the planet.
