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!

Tbf, all the dominions have been a bit forgotten. None of them have been updated since the first DLC "Together for Victory" and are looking painfully out of date

My great grandfather served on the HMNZS Leander in WW2 so it’s sad to see that Alex would have killed him in the Battle of Wilhelmshaven
I am a Kiwi. The focus tree is not broken, this is how our country actually works - and why I have never played as New Zealand
Had Paradox given new zealand a better focus tree the game would be unplayable. Even one of those kiwi bird divisions can easily cause 1000 soft and hard attack (with basic infantry weapons). On top of the 30 km/h movement speed.

Paradox show add a hidden focus for Australia and New Zealand just for the memes: "conscript the Emus" that spawns insane Emu cavalry divisions. That would boost their gameplay at least for a day or two lmao

Man, it really is remarkable how the UK AI was so fierce in this game, taking control of Italy and North Africa before pushing further into Europe with absolutely no help at all. That's what the history records of this world told me.
New Zealand is just as forgotten in HOI4 as it is in real life

Wow, so sad, you were one focus away the entire time from forming polynesia, would have really helped with your manpower problem! Great video as always!
This use to be one of my most played nations when I first started doing random mp online, Its great if you want to be a naval/air focused minor, also really cool that you can form Polynesia as a dominion!
I would love to see bittersteel play as Bulgaria in that save

“Does it even matter when you have the royal navy” Alex, the royal navy sent 2 flagships to the pacific which promptly sunk; the royal navy in the pacific was a meme if anything New Zealand could only improve on it.
I think ISP would love nothing more than to see someone else forced to suffer through the same months-long trauma he endured, all to appease the fickle interests of the omnipotent viewer
No one has ever done a hoi4 A-Z especially not ISP
Ssshhh you almost awoke Laser Kiwi, we are running out of worms to appease the kiwi.. But if he his awoken and not given his worms hell go on a rampage!
I would love to visit New Zealand. To see were the Lord of the Ring was made.

Pretty unremarkable other than the scenery.
It’s amazing how Iceland has a cooler tree despite just declaring independence irl.
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.
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.
Really enjoyed that! I love minor nations and focusing on specific areas like marines or air force to aid your allies
whenever i play australia or new zealand I like to convert one of the light cruisers into a carrier
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.
The AI has been weird since BBA. I'm still just on NSB and in my last game I did an Austria-Hungary run where Germany declared on me during Sudetenland and... I just rolled over them? I looked at their divisions and they were just packed with units they weren't producing equipment for?
I loved the Sofia resistance in the end, i think Steiner moved to Bulgaria
Would love to see an A-Z hoi4 alex think it would be fun !
I think a series of how to do the achievements or like a Trophy Hunting Series would be really fun
Absolutely loved this one!
Fun watching Alex just try and build a little country to be the best it can be
Imagine better steel doing a Desaster save as Bulgaria 💀💀💀
Playing new zealand be like /gamemode 3
Does Alex have merch? I was thinking interested in getting some but I couldn’t get a link to any store :(

as a NZer myself even i couldnt bring myself to play new zealand in hoi4
Love the vids Alex, although i have to say it's quite refreshing seeing a country other than Germany lol
One of my favorite things to do is release the Polynesian Empire and play as them and try to defeat Japan as a naval empire.
I would like to see a bob semple tank play-through. It is the greatest tank ever made after all lol.
Sealand mod when
You missed the chance to say "Seduce the Duce" 8:32
I do wonder if you TRY to drop the headphones whenever you do an intro, and i do believe it's intentional
Well that Focus Tree was atrocious, but seeing such a dedicated focus on these specific landings and maneuvers was really nice.
Classic paradox
Oh hey it's Alex. I'm so happy right now.
Bulgaria truly carryed the Axis
I've been having a similar issue with the frontlines. Had to quit a playthrough of Germany because micro, especially in Africa, was completely impossible
Hoi4 A to Z yea, that's an amazing, totally original idea! you should really do it, I think it'd do really well!
we need A to Z on every country
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.
Honestly I’m a fan of it. Does manpower multipliers and the ability to make the BiG Bob are nice
Alex the rambler: i think i might start a series to play every country from A to Z. I think no one did that. I sorrow productions: ....
When you compared France to new Zealand what you should actually remember is that you paid extra to play the NZ tree. France one comes free
Sofia the last bastion of the axis
Should have asked the Australians to send an emu division
Ah yes, Home. It’s that bad yes.
Hello Alex big shock to me when I first watched your channel because my name is also Alex
“I’m going to go to Oman, so then I can OMAN them in Jibuti!” Alex talking dirty
"Game is pretty much over in 43" Well have you looked at WW II history? 193 saw Essex Swarm starting to show in Pacific, Italy collapse and Soviet Union retake most of territory lost in Barbarossa...
Hmm yes lore of hoi4 the rise of Polynesia
"japan got hemmed in to the home islands" I mean that's historically accurate I'm pretty sure, maybe not so much in 43 but still
Is this video in hono(u)r of New Zealand defeating England in the Rugby World Cup?
Its just Balance Else they would Dominate the world with the Bob Semple !
Minor nation, minor focus tree. As it should be. The problem was having great powers like italy having a small focus tree
Poor Kiwi Empire denied the factories and manpower to make any difference.
Honestly, all of the DLC focus tress from release up until at least WtT need to be redone, especially since all the majors now have something.
New Zealand is a reeeeeaaaaally interesting country, but not in a military or civilian way
what DLC is that?
It would be a ton of work but you could go alphabetically by Leader name. Definitely hasn’t been done before at least.
its not the worst focus tree in the game, u can get 1942(?) submariens in like 1937, 1938, you get a lot of boats and planes for free. its probably the best minor
chonk chonk
Should we disable BBA dlc for now?
Would be sweet for dlcs to be updated to be slightly in line with current dlcs, the dominion focus trees are do shit. Also Australia being about 4 states and therefore having nearly no economy is very frustrating. Also the base game japan tree is possibly even worse
Hi from New zealand Alex!
nice video
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.
Ireland could be up there as most forgotten
Fun fact: The air force that you start with in HOI4 is more capable than NZ's 2022 air force, because it doesn't have one :D
alex play as sweden in rp56 mp please
New Zealand is so forgotten that they’re the only nation with a unique focus that has no country specific achievements
New Zealand focus tree is the best in the game
I want a American Non-aligned tree so that I can create a American Monarchy
Playing every nation would be great!!

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.
the next major dlc need to focus on south east Asia and the counties of the far east over all
I love playing new zealand And the others
If I did this, I'd keep the Italian land for myself so that when the civil war happens, I'd get a free major as a puppet
At least the kiwis are enthusiastic It is New ZEAL-and
Why is there a imaginary country called "New Zealand" I thought Hoi4 was meant to be historical smh.
Conquer the world as Australia?
