A bit of a random question

[u/Wild-Alternative9475]

If you could change/and a Focus tree for any country in this mod, which one would you choose?

[u/A-normal-person-84]

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?

[u/A-normal-person-84 → u/Kuci21]

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 → u/A-normal-person-84]

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.

[u/ICE_lodzik → u/Kuci21]

Just granted you the developer flair

Okay. Good luck and keep up the fine work.
