What does the Focus tree look like for non-majors?

[Hardcore_gamer]

In screenshots we see the focus trees of some of the major nations like the US and Germany, and the different paths they can take. But what does the focus tree look like for the smaller nations?

And how complex would it be to just mod a completely new focus tree? I can't imagine many mods working very well if the original focus trees are still there.

I guess they will have national focus to befriend every major nation as well as standard stuff like nuke focus and some free industry.

Yeah, most likely stuff to befriend your neighbours and boost your economy quicker. Stuff like Army/Navy/Airforce Innovation, unlocking 1 or 2 additional research slots, boosting infrastructure and factories/docks etc.

For modding i cant imagine that it will be that hard. If you look at it they function similar to the decisions from Hearts of Iron III, linked together via the national focus tree and sometimes exclude each other like Carrier Focus and Battleship Focus for the brits or Befriend Japan or befriend China, for example.

Kebab focus for Turkey, Polandball focus, etc.

But really I think they will already have ideas for the next level Nat. China, Poland, Yugo, etc. and once launch has passed and any hotfix applied and game is stable that is what they will start on. Hopefully with the '33 start.

they already said why they wont do an 33 start. The 33 start would pretty much be focused around germany and the rise of the nazi party. That would actually require whole different gameplay elements to make sense gameplay wise. Otherwise you sit around for 5 years where pretty much nothing happens.

They actually delayed the game not only to rework features they werent happy with, but also to deliver an stable game at launch. Back then where alot paradox titles were pretty unstable at launch they simply didnt had the privilege to delay their games. Now that they grew so big they actually can affort the "soon" and "its done when its done" thing blizzard loves to do.

Something low-effort that can apply to anyone.

Those things im sure will be in

1. Free shipyards/civilian/military factories
2. Bonus to resarch in industry, electronics, land,
naval, air, doctrines, nuclear, jet
3. Resarch Slot

1. Befriend another four mayor powers.
2. Free forts/Antyair/infrastructure
3. Free Div templates
4. Non great power relation improvments
5. Goverment change into fascist/comie/democratic
6. Embargo cautry
7. Create faction

A bunch of minors have potential territorial claims that could be the subject of focuses. 'Send Ultimatum to Ecuador', 'Demand Cambodia', what have you.

The major point I would love to see in the game is flexibility. The non-major/generic focus tree should have options to get into any of the three historical clubs, as well as form a new one. Similarly, they should have options to form any type of government.
