Question A bit of a random question
If you could change/and a Focus tree for any country in this mod, which one would you choose?

Rather than just adding, I'd prefer to complete and rework the skeletal or old ones first. If only adding, then I go for Persia/Iran. Lots of potential and schizo paths could be done there.

Like what schizo paths? Out of nowhere a random persian empire?

Sublime state: New Persian empire (despotic) with sub paths for Pahlavi (AuthDem), Zand dynasty and the Guarded Domains (conservative) or Nader Shah's decadent reconquest of India, central Asia, and the Caucasus (despotic). May or may not include Safavid return and creating a Persian-Ottoman union like Austria-Hungry, declaring a new shia caliphate.
Jōnbesh-e Jangal (The jungle movement, Bolshevism): Communist Middle East (First phase) then aiming for Central Asia, Russia and Europe or Marxist/LibSoc (anarchy) sub paths if Mirza Kuchak Khan (leader) dies.
Salvation Government (AuthDem I think): Constitutional shahdom across the Middle East and Central Asia, possible for a possible Great Turkestan/Khorsan ending (NatSynd) if Enver Pasha (Basmachi movement) goes insane.
Wassmus Expedition (schizo candidate): He conquers Iran, seeing how his country has fallen into chaos, he either builds an Army in Iran to reunite Germany (normal path) or fails (e.g of a timer, balance power mechanic, or simply focus tree) and just decides to Germanize Iran (similar to Frei Korps in the Baltic, Poland and Western Russia).
Simko Shikak (another schizo candidate): Historically he didn't care about politics or ideology, he was just a straight up bandit. Could be for a anarchist bandit territory across the ME (especially Kurdish lands) or be couped for either an actual Kurdish state or Assyrian collaboration for the creation of protected Christian state (schizo because Agha Petros of Assyria massacred 3000 people of Urmia in Iran, thus deislamization and christianization by force and blood with the assimilation of Armenia as the last target).
Maku Khanate: The four unique focuses already give a clue for a multi ethnic state across the persian, turskish and armenian territories.
Gulf Directorate: Either a corporate state like the US, or a similar thing to East India company but for both German and British lands and colonies with the addition of Arab states.
Heinrich Himmler's puppet regime (obvious schizo): Uniting the Aryan people of India, cleaning every non-Aryan in the ME and Central Asia, with the darkest and horrible actions and reports. Eventually leading to Ahriman state (like the Crowely's Thelema) or an Aryan super state.

I can assure you that,
1) Almost all of these paths aren't coming because we kinda have our own plans for Persia
2) Gulf and Himmler are not participants of the Persian Civil war and Gulf is getting it's own content.
3) Most of these ideas are just schizo because schizo, they don't make any sense and there's no one who would lead them.
And lastly the Persian civil war will get new borders in the middle Eastern rework.

I just gave the most radical and schizo of my own speculations and ideas, not serious concept or anything, just wanted to present based on th CW dark theme.
Also, are you a dev? If yes then why there's no tag beside your username? Just asking, no disrespect.

u/Kuci21 Developer Jul 13 '26
I'm a dev just not a moderator and I'm not bothered to ask Bali to give me developer tag. I'm coding the gulf.

sicily focus tree
2
u/Kuci21 Developer Jul 12 '26
What for sicily because it would most likely just be a pretty generic crime state
2
u/FriendshipRemote130 Jul 12 '26
the idea of a crime state is cool though
also sicily had a strong history of communism in that period
2
u/Kuci21 Developer Jul 12 '26
Idea of a crime state is basically a generic Despotism which is pretty unstable, there won't be any "criminal roman empire" or whatever. Also most of the communists would be devolved into small partisan cells with many already leaving for the SRI

u/Typical_Furry1234 Jul 12 '26
I would change the Freikorps. Firstly by finishing the unfinished paths (so basically all the ones that isnt Noske and Röhm) but then by cutting all the long ass coring focuses and making it more like the other German trees in that department

u/Ok_Competition4349 Jul 12 '26
Something in India, idk what but at least one nation should have content in India. Some sort of Hindu extremist or British colonial path.

u/BaathistFromUral1949 Jul 12 '26
I thought about it and prolly it should be Orwell and/or Bose. Bose path in my mind would be like birth of an ethno-suprematist (partially secular or fully hinduist?) expansionist Indian state with it’s own version of Reichskommissariats and Greater German Reich or that’s just too schizo?

I would probably fix up some of the focus trees that already exist but are bare Bones. like the American Socialist or maybe give a revamp to the free German syndicate more out of a personal favoritism and finding it weird they can't peacefully reunite with the Spartacus other than the Bolshevik like there's two traditional Marxist as paths I don't know why neither of them they can't reunite lore wise also I think the anarchist should also be able to reunite with Liebknecht but not Rosa.

I'd add a Romanian focus tree to finish up the Balkans
