Liberating Nations

[Alexander Seil]

Just wondering, will this be similar to Victoria/EU2 liberation of vassal states, or, can we merely liberate our annexed allies?

EDIT: Does that function even exist? I don't remember seeing it on any screenshots, but demo files do contain references to it.

From what I read, you can liberate countries ala HoI.

If you could refresh my memory, it would be great. I haven't played HoI in a long, long time, hence I do not remember how it worked there.

You can also release some fantasy nations, Wallonia for example.

About liberating and puppeting nations. Is it possible to liberate a puppet state at a later date, say if I conquer norway or denmark, can I later create a puppet state out off those territories or will they become fullfledged states with the same governement and my allies?

Click on diplomacy button - select your own country - click liberate puppet and you will get a list of countries that can be liberated.

I will be fun playing as some fantasy nation like The californian republic.. That will be alot of fun..

I just hope that fantasy nations will get officers now... In hoI you couldn play as Korea or Ukraine as they didnt have officers.

Can nations be created from occupied, rather than national, provinces, though?

When you make puppets, they get your government type. This means that a successful USSR player can make the whole of Germany the DDR. There are also events that break up / liberate countries.
For axample if you conquer the US, you it will break into 4 pieces - California, Texas, and the CSA gain independence, while the conquest of England releases Lebanon, India, Jordan, and Egypt, while giving up substantail territitories to Canada (Newfoundland, Labrador) and the US (Latin America), while Italy gets the UK Med provinces.

I don't think you can.

What if I annex France as Germany, then the US invades and reconquer the whole of former France. Can US recreate that nation as it was, ie give it back its leaders and such?

Is there any way to undo an annexation or will an annexed nation be a shadow of its former self? When I annex a nation I want to make sure it is gone forever and dont come back like Sauron

EDIT: Misread your post...in order to "annex" France, I believe that Germany would have to conquer half the world first. Remember that the French Equatorial Africa, French Polynesia and French Guayana all defected to Free France following the formation of Vichy France.

The annexer can release the country if it is listed in the revolt file.

Ok, I made a bad example

I know it is a pain to annex France, but if you got the "right" Vichy option, Indochina goes to Japan, which was the most annoying thing.

The annexer can release the country if it is listed in the revolt file.

Ok, thanks.

Actually, that does not answer your question, GrimReaper. If USA were to occupy land in a country previously annexed by Germany, such as Norway or Luxemburg, wouldn't it be considered occupied, and hence USA would be unable to liberate either?

Is this not the answer: "The annexer can release the country if it is listed in the revolt file."?

This sounds like no one but the annexer can do anything.

There's an event to liberate German conquests after the fall of Berlin. There are, in fact, 3 seperate events, one each for SOV, ENG, and USA.

As for conquering Norway, et al, before the fall of Berlin, I think that would vary depending on whether or not they were puppeted by Germany. The diplomatic options to give provinces might also come in useful.
