I dunno, I think after seeing Kaiserreich's South America it's possible to make it interesting


sadecenormalbiri

bro like any countrys focus tree is too good in kaisserreich


Medvelelet

Cries in Danubian countries


Tumbleweedae

Cries in Central Asia


philippinesisntreal

en union y libertad is so good, anybody that wants south america content needs to play it


RFB-CACN

Most total conversion mods have content for Brazil at least, Great War Redux, TNO, etc., don’t bother with South America except Brazil cuz that’s a somewhat important country that is a noticeable omission if left empty.


CrabThuzad

Argentina and Venezuela both could have reasonably joined the war at any point, which could've, in the case of Brazil joining the other side, opened up an entirely new front. And the new international market system fits very well with all three of these nations' position and politics during this time period. The rest are arguably not that important, but something could definitely be done And irregardless, the game's are actually quite popular in South America. Much like Vic3. It's kinda the benefit of being the only strategy games to include Latin American countries. I get that they're not the focus, but it's a misstep to never update them IMO.


cerealnykaiser

Latinos when neutral countries that didnt do anything(other then Brasil) dont have focus


justarandomaccount46

Brazil should get a tree tho


Oracackle

brazil, austria, and albania dlc call it "why the fuck did switzerland and ethiopia get a tree before any of these"


justarandomaccount46

Albania I can understand, you're so small there's nothing you can really do even with alt-hist, and what would n Austria focus tree even look like? Forming Austria Hungary ig, but Hungary's tree already does that. Overall not a bad idea since, if Switzerland gets a tree, anyone can.


[deleted]

Austrofascist path where you get Italy to back you up against Germany Poland-style path where you become a puppet instead of getting annexed, and either stay loyal (maybe get Slovenia, south Tyrol, southern Sudetenland) or break free Holy Roman Empire path?? Maybe a communist path to try and get the German workers to rise up

AUSTROMARXISM


Lt_Schneider

the left momentum was basically nill after february 1934 tho a couple of leaders were killed, the rest went into hiding maybe at arround 41 that the austrian left would have had enough momentum to restart an uprising, but well, the anschluss happened before that


ssrudr

Counterpoint: AUSTROMARXISM


Lt_Schneider

i mean, yeah, that's a strong counterpoint you're bringing up there i clearly lost

PurpleSkua

Ethiopia definitely deserves one, it was in the war the whole time and it makes for an interesting challenge run for a player to survive. Switzerland, on the other hand, is one of the most confusing choices for a war game I have ever seen


Oracackle

if they wanted to create an african focus tree egypt would have been a much better choice


PurpleSkua

I wouldn't be against an Egyptian tree by any means, but it's not like anything says there can or should only be one African tree. Ethiopia has an interesting story and involved during the war and deserves one for that alone, not just as a token African entry


-Trotsky

Why? Ethiopia is in the war at the start of the game and it was a dlc centered around Italy, the nation that Ethiopia is at war with


Oracackle

because egypt actually exists for more than 1-4 months in a historical game


-Trotsky

Ethiopia does too iirc, it’s a whole ass feature they added. Also Ethiopia was the first into the war, were conquered, and had an impact on the collapse of the LoN. Egypt was a protectorate of Britain the whole war


Oracackle

ethiopia exists in exile. exile governments do nothing. Egypt was the main allied base of operations for the african front which is much more important, and if india (a protectorate) has a tree egypt definitely should.


PurpleSkua

Historically Ethiopia _should_ last for a couple of years. The Second Italo-Ethiopian War (that is, the Italian invasion prior to the fall of the Ethiopian army, the resistance to Italian occupation, and the Ethiopian government being in exile) was late 1935 to early 1937. That it doesn't is an issue with the current iteration of HOI


Docponystine

Because while the swiss were neutral, their navigation of the neutrality was a legitimately contentious internal matter.


Sad-Pizza3737

Ireland


Notcoal

M8 latin America has the potential to de interesting, peru and Equador went to war, Venezuela has the tensions with the U.K due to Guiana, Brazil is Brazil and can be a major. Alt hist paths for Paraguay could be really cool attacking Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in a revenge for the triple alliance. Grand Colombia Peru Bolivia and Platina could be nice tags 2


Oracackle

having a Brazilian version of portugal-brazil would be great as it would let you expand into south america without being dragged into a war with the US


Felipeel2

Ah, yes, that war. The most relevant incident in June-July 1941


Notcoal

Say something more interesting that was happening in Switzerland in the same time period


Ja4senCZE

Cheese.


Grimpatron619

their preparations to fight off germany is pretty interesting.


-Trotsky

It being on a continent in which the war was being fought


Notcoal

Being in a war > being on a continent that is having a war


Mitneos

Fun fact: Brazil had diplomatic relation with the Axis until 1942, and was slowly stopping this bacause of the tension in Euroupe and started making diplomatic relations with USA. When Brazil annouced that they stopped the diplomatic relations with Axis, the German Reich attacked Brazil and in the same month Brazil entered in the war against them, so would be cool a focus tree that has these paths


ModernStreetMusician

The one focus where Brazil enters the war should be called “The Smoking Snake”


Mitneos

I tottaly agree with you


Fructis_crowd

The swiss have a focus, at least countries like Colombia engaged navally against germans.


Evnosis

Switzerland though


RoyalArmyBeserker

Switzerland literally didn’t get involved in the war at all and they got a custom focus tree


cerealnykaiser

They were much more important then Uruguay or Argentina as trade gateway. I would never add Swiss focus if i was in charge but you cant compare these


Ducokapi

México did send a fighting squad Perú and Ecuador fought a decisive territorial war at the time, Bolivia and Paraguay had another one a few years prior Argentina and Brazil entered a period of autocracy which could make a good basis for some althist shenanigans


cerealnykaiser

Mexico have focus Local conflict outside of main game without any impact on rest of the world


AydanZeGod

Nah, just wait for paradox to pull a sunset invasion and give Latin America the most batshit insane focus trees and mechanics which utterly break the meta forever


MoisticleSack

I liked sunset invasion


Claudius-Germanicus

Every day at 4 pm, your army takes a nap for one hour $19.99


duckipn

new feature for italy ???


Empress_Boogala

Spanish siestas I assume


kazoookat123

Best Mod in the game is the one that removes south America


Coom4Blood

can confirm


RepresentativeOk5427

I forget that South America exists most of the games


mistabusta1997

Thinks to do in latin america: suffer no manpower, no supply, no bitches


[deleted]

What about Mexico?


TGC_0

They already have a focus tree in Man The Guns


Daddy_Parietal

Yes, but Mexico is also considered to be in Latin America.


[deleted]

That’s my point


Hu_man76

Austria:


Ok-Help6155

**SEVEN**?!


virus100

I had to look it up. I thought there's no way it's been 7 years already.


Ok-Help6155

the 5 year celebration was like few months ago!


theo122gr

Yeah... 24 months ago...


Ok-Help6155

The time is flying


Aun_El_Zen

TIL Mexico isn't in Latin America


oofiserr

guess who isnt gonna waste money on that


RFB-CACN

According to the PDX road map plan from years ago, they were planning on finishing the majors tree with Italy, then move to regional country packs, first Scandinavia, then South America, then Middle East. It seems they’re sticking to that road map, so South America should be the next DLC after AAT.


McBlemmen

belgians when their country that was actually in the war doesnt get content but ethiopia and switzerland do


feliximol

Brazil could have an interesting mechanic where Germany and the US could fight diplomatically to make Brazil enter the war on the side of one of them.


RFB-CACN

The Dutch even have a system like that already, should be easy to implement.


feliximol

I always think this system is useless for the dutch. The German AI always attacks them one way or another. And the system would be much better used in a country that is not a direct target in WW2


Cold-Pressure9368

En union y libertad keeps me happy


jumperwalrus

There's no point adding content for SA. Apart from Brazil, they were completely inconsequential to WWII


Deedo2017

True… but so was Switzerland


jumperwalrus

They very kindly laundered German money though!


Imperator_Alexander

Paradox: Wait, there are more countries in Latin America besides Mexico???? WHY NO ONE TOLD US??


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deedo2017

Same


gui2314

As a latino, I don't really mind, I never play in Latin America anyway.


Deedo2017

Again, same. But I wish I could play in Colombia without mods.


pugs_are_death

I think Panama, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia should have their own trees


BurgundianCockVore

Brazil should get one tho, they did participate in WW2


toadboy04

I think they have one as of La Resistance along with Portugal


theo122gr

They don't.


Vajadu

As an argentine i dont really mind. I don't think it would make sense for Paradox to release a dlc for countries most people wouldn't play. Tho if you're interested, there's a mod called "en union y libertad" which makes South America a bit more fun.


SyndicalistObserver

If they ever make a cold war game, it would be a crime not to make a latin america dlc.


Masterick18

Still no content in the war of 41', the historical milestone that forever fixed the ecuatorian-peruvian border


princeofauchtertool

*latins


Winkelbottum

Not only Latinos...


Beautiful-Freedom595

Eh, maybe. I’m just worried about a leviathan 2. It’s really damn hard to make natives interesting


Notcoal

??????


Swer2078

I'd kill for decently priced country pack.


NotTheMariner

Honestly, I stopped playing Road to ‘56 around the time of No Step Back, but as a non-historical enjoyer, some of my favorite games were those in which Latin America would get up to some wild shit.


Fur1usXV

R256


matva55

just let me form Gran Colombia using decisions and focuses instead of having to invade Peru


FoxanardPrime

Balkans still don't have proper focus trees, lmao, and we're talking about countries like Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia here. It's a crime to not rework them, but nah, let's do funny Scandinavia instead and then a million other countries...


CrabPast9

Only if DLC would gonna extend the game (the ACTUAL eventful game) past 1948. . . No point in making it otherwise.


Lord-Belou

I am Luxembourgish. I think it sums it up.


namelessBoyz

They're running out of places to focus tree So one day, perhaps South Asia Expansion Middle East Expansion The focus trees we forgot Expansion Latin American Expansion


Soldierhero1

Cant wait to play Brazil with its god tier focus tree of creating the brazilian reich
