So this tiny insignificant nation gets a focus tree but Austria doesn’t because “they get eaten by Germany too quickly”?

That focus tree is kinda like the Chinese warlords focus tree. Not a generic focus tree, but every nation that gets released in this area of africa has that focus tree. And it's a pretty nice tree. It's why if you play as Ethiopia and go non-aligned, ABSOLUTELY take the focus to balkanize your country as all the states you create get that focus tree. Which means they all pop out infrastructure and factories like crazy before you pull everyone back in.

You should make sure you can pick up the Horn of Africa focus before you Balkanize. I'd also like to note that it takes a LONG time to min-max that. It took me until 1944 ish for them to finish all of their factory focuses + urbanization.

@@Pulstar232 It's mostly just keeping tabs on their focuses and their own state development. Even just letting them sit there for a year or 2 gives you waaaayy more industry then you can realistically pump out yourself in 4 years.

I'd like to think that they recognize that their resistance contributed to Italy's defeat and also kept pressure off the European theater. Or you could roleplay it as the allies sending them the fleet they desired for some reason so they have a friendly country to help keep order in the region.

@@methuselah8885 I think "keeping pressure off the West" is low balling it, since I'm pretty sure the Italians dedicated like half of their army, the Germans sent 1/7th or so of their armor brigades and Romania for some reason sent a quarter of their army over. That's not "keeping pressure off", that's a major contribution to the war effort.

Honestly I hope they just make a sequel to their hearts of iron cold war game so we could get great trees for places like egypt and somalia. Not only is it an already established paradox title, but the hearts of iron side series would have more room for unique focus trees than the main games.

Focus Tree Comparison: What Nation is more important, Aussa or the UK, and the US? *Aussa is obviously more important, see how they have a bigger focus tree?* Difficulty Question: What will be more hard, fighting against Italy? A. with a pretty large and populated nation that controls many states? B. With a one state nation, with only 3 tiles. *The Obvious answer is B.*

Truly enjoy these longer video! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but the story of the video is much more enthralling and enjoyable (regardless of the outcome of the gameplay lol)

It's jus because of you that I know Aussa has a unique little focus tree, thank you! I love it, especially because I got surprised by it since Aussa is not on the front page where you can select the unique-focus tree-nations.

You didn't "own" the province. It's a bit weird with how the game says it, but how it works is that when you occupy the province, you control it. You don't become the owner of it unless you take it in a peace deal

Thanks for the video’s Alex!

I don't know why, when I have lots of replacements. I end up having to train up a new air wing and disband the old one. When I saw your 92/100 Transport air wing, it reminded me of that.

Paradox definitely did a lot of good with this DLC but it feels incredibly unfinished. For example, the Soviet unions national focus tree still has old plane research options as focuses, or even Italy, a lot of their "___ has joined _______ faction" news that appears for players seems completely bugged to where neither faction, nor country name appears. I really hope they work on fixing the stuff they've broken rather than pumping out more DLC, at least for a while, until its back to its prior quality of gameplay.

You should play some more old world blues! Play as New Reno!

Alex angered the AI by surviving as Aussa, he already beat the Italians in Eritrea so they wouldn’t allow him to accomplish anymore of his goals.

I'm guessing the focus didn't work because you needed to own a coastal state after a peace deal, rather than just controlling it at war

The fact a bunch of guys with swords boys and like 8 guns can can beat an entire army of well armed troops is hilarious

It's him, the man with the lined hair! And he's rambling so deliciously that I'm ordering my own CHONK-MUG!

You had Coastal tiles, but as occupied, not as Owned... After the peace conferemce you actually owned them...

I think ausa shoud be on the title screen like the other countries
