More options than Annex or Puppet? More releasable nations?

[Joemit]

Are there going to be more options than Annex or Puppet in HoI 4, and how are the options going to be used by the AI? I remember in HoI3 I always the UK annexing Persia and things like that.
Also, how many more releasable nations are there going to be? Will players be able to release all their African colonies or Newfoundland and things like that?
Thanks!

It's just preliminary, but here is a list of countries that should be in HoI IV.

As for wargoals, diplomacy in general is one of those things that is just speculated thus far. None of the DDs mentioned it anyway.

As Germany, I want to be able to release the Ukraine, the Baltic states, Belarus, Iraq, Syria, etc...

Gotta get those buffers!

 

[CarlClausewitz]

I would also like to have mor options.

Mostly I dont puppet nations, because it is not possible to revers this decission.

For wargoals something to claim regions like setting theaters would be great.

I would like to see releasable nations in Africa, only ones with the possibility of independence of course. For example:

-Morocco (confirmed)
-Algeria
-Tunisia
-Libya

Also other nations around the globe, for example Indonesia (I believe it has cores in HoI 3 though)

Oh, and don't forget post-war events that portray the beginning of the end for empires. (New cores all over the globe, and high militancy in colonies) It would create the possibility to play with an extended timeline. (Y'know where you go into the files and extend the game? Oh, and that better be moddable too.)

yeah i hope to god that there are more nations in HOI 4. even if they act pretty much as placeholders. though this brings us back to the little problem that PDS has always had with end of timeline events, which mean that until they're confirmed, don't hold your hopes up.

plenty of nations who gained independence soon after WWII are in HOI 3. israel/palestine, both koreas (not a united korea though), Indochina, the Levantine nations.

timeline has always been extendable. it's always at the top of the defines.lua.

Yeah.
Releasing Reichskommissariat (X) gets kind of tedious after a while and I'd like to be able to release them without becoming a decadent democratic/dirty red state

Where is Independent State of Croatia?

Where is Independent State of Croatia?

Ask the developers. Alternatively, I'm sure there would be some mod which puts it in

 

[aruon]

Where is Independent State of Croatia?

Croatia is formable by event when Germany defeats Yugoslavia hold its victory points. it's safe to assume that the HOI 3 and 4 "independent Croatia" events will have almost no difference.

 

[Joemit]

All I am hoping for is that the country we really want and need gets in: Kazakhstan!

 

[dav77-b]

Formable Sealand anyone?

 

[Lauri]

both koreas (not a united korea though)

Always bugged me that I had to have two minor Koreas instead of a united strong one. Hope they fix that.

I also hope that they do something about cores on "overseas" provinces. Like if you decide to annex the United Kingdom as Germany; if you release them as a puppet afterwards, they shouldn't get more than the isles imo. Same thing with Japan, who get's all their pacific islands (which should be optional) and their mainland asian provinces (which is silly).
