Minor Yugoslavia tree reworks in Battle for the Bosphorus?

[Mr_Dimento]

Yes but, in my opinion, you can't have a Focus tree for Albania with the level of detail and depth they adopted after MtG keeping the actual Yugoslavian tree. It's about priorities.

Yeah, I address that issue in my post, I discuss that Italy and USSR should first receive their overhauled trees.

Albania has a rich and unique history. This should not be dismissed just because it is "Small and Meant to be Eaten."

History: A Closer Look at Albania

So It has come to the realization that Albania might be getting a focus tree in what appears to be a "Balkans Country Pack". [Potentially Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and Turkey] Regardless of what you think about Albania deserving or getting one...

I don't think anyone is denying that Albania has a rich history.

Unfortunately, this doesn't translate into a good gameplay experience. A completely unindustrialized country with a smaller population than New Zealand just isn't going to be fun, no matter what you do with it. There are much better places the devs could put their resources. San Marino has a rich history. Doesn't mean it'd work well in the game as a playable country with a unique focus tree, though.

Nobody has really made any case for as to how Albania could actually be fun to play. I suspect that is because under the expectations of the overwhelming majority of players, it could not be.

Looks like for the Communist path the name of the non-Stalin faction has been changed from "Pan-Slavic" to "Pan-Balkan" and now gives you the options to invite Greece, Romania, Hungary and Turkey in addition to the Bulgaria anad Albania focuses which were essentially worthless in DOD. This should actually make it worthwhile going down a non-Stalin path. There doesn't appear to be a focus to integrate them all into the Balkan Federation like some of the new trees, though I suppose it may possibly be done via decision.

The western focus appears to be split out even further to "Attract Axis capital" and "Attract Allied Capital" . It is really difficult to read the rest of that section of the tree but it looks like additional ways to get rid of some of the debuffs as well as further interaction with other Balkan countries. There is almost certainly a connection between the Macedonian Opposition and decisions taken by Bulgaria.

Really happy they have reworked the tree as part of this country pack as I love playing as Yugoslavia and obiously they interact with the new trees in many ways so it makes sense. I would have liked to see a more comprehensive rework but to be honest this was more than I was expecting.

Yes. The new mutually exclusive focus to 'Concessions for Macedonians' is 'Surrender Macedonia', which I guess it's Yugoslavia going "Fine! Take it! I didn't want it anyway!". Meanwhile the 'Greater Yugoslavia' focus which claims Bulgaria is moved further down the tree.

I don't suppose we can ask that they give the Yugoslav tree for free to folks who already paid for a Yugoslav tree?

I create the new Yugoslavian tree will not be part of the official content of the new country pack and will only be freely available to those with DOD

It looks like an improvement but there doesn't seem to be a path to cause a communist takeover during the war while the government is in exile. Also the communist tree seems a bit too easy - 3 focuses and then the monarchy is overthrown. That should only happen with a civil war in my opinion

Especialy after the fact that communists where fucking criminals in the eyes of gouverment. There is no way that paul would allow Tito to form gouverment. This can only lead to a separate civil war part of focus tree. And portrait for Tito that we have now with DoD is from '61. and portrait from TNO for '62. looks like he is from '45. That in mind, Tito wasn't leader of KPJ until '37. if I recall corectly. Milan Stojadinovic, leader of the fascist party must be head of gouverment because Regency Council decided that he should form the gouverement. From DoD focus tree, Friendship with Italy was his idea, baning Slovenese national parties, paramilitary divisions, one state party. He was main creator of pre war Yugoslavia before Macek and Cvetkovic entered the scene. Yugoslavia need more of political rework, indsutry needs to be separated into communist and Stojadinovic part. TWO SEPARATE Trees, because they had different ideas of it. Regency Council, beside Paul II had two more figures in it, so it must be three way leadership.
