The WORST Focus Tree In HOI4?

Ойындар

Today I'm back in Hearts of Iron 4 and see if this is the worst focus tree ever added to HOI4. It might also be the first time I've ever played as New Zealand in a video / ever!

    This was one of the most entertaining Rambler HOI4 videos in quite a while for me. I really enjoyed the narrow focus on the NZ Marines doing their various naval invasions and that contribution to the overall war effort. I was more invested in the story of this little task force than I usually am with giant fronts filled with dozens and dozens of divisions.

  • @flickerdart

    NZ is actually quite a good tree as long as you structure your entire playthrough around Polynesian Federation and then, and this is key, capturing Taiwan. It's a core for you and you will get obscene amounts of manpower.

    Small tip to help with those weird frontlines that pop up without your input, when that happens (usually after a naval invasion) pause the game, set a garrison order so all other orders get deleted and then set your new frontline so the units don’t start wandering through the map.

    Something different to an A-Z of nations could be: Comparing different branches of countries focus trees. E.g. ranking the Democratic, Socialist, Monarchist/Non-Aligned and Mustachist branches of a nation's focus trees, based on how good they are. Since some countries have very good trees in one category, but horrible ones in another.

    Answering question in the title, no. Canadian focus tree is much worse. Not only they need to choose between getting rid of great depression (last step 10% consumer good and some output penalties) and conscript crisis among french canadian (-30% rec. pop factor) but they also have most of their economic focuses locked either by high war tension or being in war, so no eco before 1940 if you stay democratic.

    I feel like the true worst focus tree is British raj. At least New Zealand has cool gimmicky things like forming Polynesia through no war and having decentish economy bonuses, saf has the communist branch (enough said), Australia may have brokenish political paths but has a economy to die for, Canada, with one removals of a mutual decision, becomes a decent nation in all rights despite it's politics being negligible. British raj straight up has broken politics, not enough of a economy, and the military is garbage too.
