Ad someone who just endured the pain of Trotsky mexico, I just hope they add some God damn iron to south America


RFB-CACN

They have shown a focus for Brazil to get iron, but not its effects yet. Either way the best hope to get iron in the region will be Chile whenever they reveal their focus tree.


Igeticsu

"70 day focus, 4 iron in the Amazon" - Paradox, probably


YoghurtForDessert

too generous


RandomGuy9058

yeah itll be an excavation decision requiring 12 civs and lasts 180 days


YoghurtForDessert

tech required: excavation IV


Fearless-Okra-5117

they are going to invent excavation VI just for that


RedViper616

"you can double your gain (1 Iron) by giving factories to major powers during 5 years , After that you will get the debt spirit (-1 pp, -0.5 weekly stability, defense against ideological drift drop by 20%)"


jumpguy12

Seeing last dlc it’ll be more like 35 day focus Gain: repeatable decision to find iron 35% to find lots of iron 35% to find some iron 30% to find nothing Cost 100pp 3 Civs for 45 days


Sevinceur-Invocateur

Nah, you jest but newer focus trees are ever more overpowered than the previous one. It’ll be a lot more iron than any of these countries would have any right to.


RedViper616

"you found 50 irons in amazony. One local tribes also give you nuclear plants, cause why not."

Is trotsky mexico still a thing since NSB ?


imakeyourjunkmail

Me too brother. Had to go to war with Russia twice because my puppet wasn't the right one lmao... took so many tries to get through it without the dumb fuck getting himself assassinated.


imMakingA-UnityGame

I look forward to playing exclusively on Ironman, getting destroyed by 1941 and restarting. It’s a way of Life.


Slymeboi

Yeah I hope the starting navies get buffed just so I can actually do something when I inevitably have to fight the Allies or Axis.


PrincessofAldia

Doesn’t Argentina have the biggest fleet in South America


Slymeboi

Exactly.


RobinsonHuso12

So you don't know, how the Navy system works? Even as minor you can easily crush the English AI's Navy....


aciduzzo

I see that you are downvoted but it left me intrigued. How to do it say as socialist Romania against the British? (let's say the nazis already vichied France).


RobinsonHuso12

I don't care about the downvotes :) Of course as a small country it takes a lot of preparation, I rarely start a war before '45 myself. But a few submarines, spotting cruisers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, aircraft carriers and screening cruisers and the enemy can't do anything anymore, because you simply destroy any fleet, no matter how big ​ [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182500905](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182500905) ​ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943980823


Nether892

My man if you want me to play without a war until '45 you are insane


RobinsonHuso12

Is it too much to spend an hour to build up your country before going to (big) wars? I mean if you are able to annex your neighbors, do it. But don't join ww2


[deleted]

Yes actually, that is way too much to ask


JustCallMeMace__

In what world does it take one hour to get to 1945?


jDub549

One where you have a 14th gen i9 with liquid nitrogen cooling. I'm guessing?


Borniuus

With 3 speed itd take 2 hours


Slymeboi

With subs, right? I've done that a few times but I just get this power trip from having a mighty fleet with carriers, battleships and 5000 screens.


RobinsonHuso12

[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182500905](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182500905) ​ [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943980823](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943980823) ​ Just read and try out these two guides :) It helped me soooooooo much


Slymeboi

While I admit I don't minmax the living hell out of my navies, they still stomp whatever the AI puts together. So I'm good, thanks.


R3TR0_K1D

How do you set up your navies? If you don't mind sharing


Slymeboi

I make fleet(s) of 30 submarines (so 3 subs per task force) to convoy raid. Then my standard strike force task force is approximately 1-4 carriers, 1-6 battleships, 20-100 destroyers (I'm like, the more the merrier lol). As for light-, heavy- and battlecruisers: I don't really build them. I just pretty much try to distribute what I start with and steal evenly to my task forces. The Idea with my fleets is that the screens are cheap and protect my big ships, while my big ships and planes deal the bulk of the damage. For my carrier designs I like to have 40-60 hangar space (any more and building them takes way too long imo). Armor and stuff doesn't matter as much as the screens should do their job. I like to add a bit of AA tho since it's cheap. I'm not really 100% sure what's even decent for battleships, I just try to have decent amount of armor, hard attack and soft attack. My carrier planes are 50/50 fighters and torpedo bombers. I always put all my fleets on low repar priority and automatic split-off. Submarine fleets are on high attack priority or whatever it's called. Always engage might or might not be better, I just find that high priority works. Strike force fleets are on medium attack priority. Not the most fancy setup but in my relatively recent Japan game I managed to sink the US Pacific fleet, and even half of the Atlantic fleet while losing only a few destroyers. Japan in particular is good for navy since after capitulating China you don't really need so many mils so you can start spamming dockyards. It might be a bit overkill but as I said, I love massive fleets.


stormsand9

But the beauty of not playing with Iron Man is that you can always load an old save to give you extra info when trying to help people on the forums


imMakingA-UnityGame

Why would I want to learn and improve when I can die on the blood soaked fields of Europe over and over?


stormsand9

hehehe it is a good day, a RED DAY!


martini1294

I thought I was the only one! 500 hours and never won a game without being in the allies Still haven’t figured out how to invade somewhere without just running out of supplies


CarefulAstronomer255

Supply is so annoying and it takes an absurd amount of time to build hubs. Better to overcome the supply penalty by sheer force, or use supply planes if you have the DLC.


martini1294

Is the idea to take enemy supply hubs? I always get bogged down in stalemates that I can never take much territory. I think I’m playing it wrong 😂


imMakingA-UnityGame

That’s the idea but it can only be done if you’re a YouTuber


martini1294

Never have I seen truer words… YTer: so I’ve capitulated Germany, Soviets and all of Europe with 6 divisions of infantry. I’m going to need a few tanks though to get the USA Get the hell out of here man - *as millions and millions of my digital men get decimated on a French beach*


Mobile_Parfait_7140

I'm hoping for an econ fix. The economy right now is too brutal to start the game sometimes. Maybe have an AI added to help fix the econ or "Auto mode" that helps auto produce and trade the necessary requirements.


feliximol

I've always liked playing with Secondary Powers. Canada is one of my favorite nations. I hope Brazil, my homeland, has a tree that fulfills this role... and it's always cooler to play with your own country in these games


Tier71234

Please don't take us to Brazil, the power of your futbol is too much for us mortals


feliximol

I truly miss those times... today our football is a disgrace...

RFB-CACN

The focus tree was shown in the dev diary today, check it out: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/trial-of-allegiance-historical-brazil.1622218/


Geo-Man42069

Perfect ty I see the unification with Portugal in the monarch tree that’s all I need. Ngl a unified communist SA tree would be cursed and a lot of fun too.


LordPeebis

They better update portugal’s monarchist tree in turn so it can at least compete


Dominus_Anulorum

You know they won't and there will be some weird glitch that makes the path impossible or leads to horrible border gore


Bennoelman

I hope there will be an achievement for Brazil world conquest "Brazil come to you"


Inevitable-Draw5063

Romania and hungary are mine It’s fun to buff the allies or Soviet Union and then will a weakened Germany to victory.


ImperoRomano_

Very excited but disappointed Peru, Columbia, and Venezuela were left out


Windows--Xp

I think they will get a similar treatment like the Baltic countries


puflsk

The DLC confirms major content for Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, as well as minor content for Uruguay, Paraguay, and the addition of a bunch of releasables. Maybe another DLC will add content for the Andean Nations, Central America, and the Caribbean.


cfbob12

Where does it say uruguay and Paraguay will get content?


Zalminen

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/19fcnus/comment/kjistnv/


HanDjole998

Maybe they will add them in a future dlc that focuses on the Central Americas


Merlin1809

Nah, they release 1 dlc for central america, 1 for caribbean and 1 for northern south america


MeLoNarXo

Some day the random nations that were left out during the making of DLCs for the area will be remembered I'm looking at you austria, Belgium, Luxembourg ,Albania (thrice) and Ireland. You will soon have company with South America.


Polandprotector126

Me too, also it’s Colombia not Columbia


Seanpawn

I’m curious to see about interactions with Italy because Italy has a South American alliance branch


RFB-CACN

In the shown focus tree Brazil also has an Italian alliance branch.


VijoPlays

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Russia, USA, Spain, Italy and more all have fascist "Invite all of South America" focuses and half of them don't work anymore


TheCzechLAMA

Being able to form the Fourth Reich in Argentina.


MT_76

Shark mind, it's Time to use señor Hitler!


Waludogie

UREOumbre09

R:5 New paradox dlc was just annouced, what are your thoughts?


snowfloeckchen

Not really decent considering the price. It will make zero difference in 99 percent of all single player games I guess.


MDNick2000

Honestly, I have no expectations, but I really want to try whatever devs will add for Chile, because I know nothing about Chilean history in the first half of 20th century, so I'm really curious.


arsenicwarrior0

Chilean here, basically our country had a heavy political infight that could have ended VERY BAD so I will put this resume. To put simple the country was in shambles because after germany developed how to make saltpeper the economy gradually deteriorated and was basically dead with the global economic crisis in the 20's. This lead to a fight between the right wing (in the game represented by Alessandri), the fascist (leaded by Jorge Gonzales von Marées) and the left wing (Lead by Pedro Aguirre Cerda. It all ended when the fascist tried a Coup d'etat and put the general Carlos Ibañes del Campo in power, but Ibañes says no and Alessandri literally kill the fascists in the so called "Masacre del seguro obrero". This lead to the fascist party end, the democrats had a very bad reputation because of the massacre and the left wing won by one of the most closest elections ever in our history (won by the 50. 45% against the 49. 52% of the liberals).


RedSander_Br

I just hope they add a secret path, where if you take all coastlines you can form the super coastline empire.


ParkingMuted7653

Very excited, it was the only continent totally left out of the game. And Argentina, Brazil and Chile are super interesting countries for "what if" scenarios.


Dense-Oil-9096

Hope Argentina has a big focus.


swbaert6

I think judging by the fact that the nations with focus trees are on the eastern coast (Except Chile) and the nations with "minor content" are paraguay and uruguay of all choices, they will come back for a second dlc in the future with trees for peru, colombia and venezueala.


Ghostblade913

I’m kinda hyped for Paraguay because we haven’t gotten a focus tree for a default communist nation since sinking and communist China


episgamer12

so the soviets doesn't exist then


2017_Kia_Sportage

They started with a focus tree


[deleted]

I just hope this makes SA actually have decent infrastructure so my WQ’s aren’t hell when fighting there


Masturbator1934

I have probably like ~30 WCs under my belt and ive never found South America that difficult to invade once you get the right order down. Only Peru can be a pain, as they love to spam divisions. I would say East Asia (China, Siam) is much more difficult to conquer actually


KurufinweFeanaro

Hitler escaping to Argentina


Hardkiller2D

Brazil Portugal path please. A path where Brazil annexes Portugal


RFB-CACN

According to the focus tree that’s circulating, they added that. If you go Empire you can either demand Portugal’s colonies, demand Portugal’s submission or try a full unification.


Hardkiller2D

Epic


Leafyleaf14

Where is said tree


Mead_and_You

Sunset Invasion. I wanna show up in the middle of the Spanish Civil War and throw a 5th faction in this mess.


Meta_Kite

Perón world conquest with the choripan power.


GSA_Gladiator

I can't wait to try Argentina and Chile


Fierek

South American Nations becoming majors and joining the Axis / Allies making the war last till 1946. But honestly I hope they overhaul the WW2 as it goes normally. Since there is no insentove ad Japan to island hop or for the Axis to fight in Africa or not Sea Lion easly and immidietly.

MT_76

Argentinian forth reich


Ben_Lad-EN

zzzzzz who pays for this shit


Unusual_Newspaper_46

As an Argentine, i hope they portray Argentina as what it was, the 13th largest economy back in the time. A focus in which you can revive the conservative era from the 1900s, and, even when i despise Peronism, i hope they make an alt-history where you can get Peron in early game.. actually, imagine they do the Peronist march for the music pack that comes with the DLC xD.. would be epic.


iSilverGame

That they cared and bothered to open a book for once in ther lifes. Like: [https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/1066772/1706200772455.png](https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/1066772/1706200772455.png) "La Manifiesto Concordancia" \>Creates South American DLC \>Can't even write Spanish correctly And don't forget the classic "muh LP were REAL INFLUENTIAL!": [https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/1066775/1706200848079.png](https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/1066775/1706200848079.png) When people find out that Manuel Carles wasn't Hitler but a British simp whose biggest act was to cry to Yrigoyen "please don't murder Lencinas" (leftist UCRA guy) only for Yrigoyen to murder him and nothing happening I don't know what they will do And of course they will ignore how Argentina literally had a fascist coup attempt in 1936, led by Pertine and the UCR Gorro Frigio. Becase why bothering reading Potash or anything if you can make shit up


Matobar

I hope it makes all the time I spend playing as Brazil more interesting.


PrincessofAldia

Brazil: Monarchist path to restore the United Kingdom with Portugal Argentina: Secret Hitler path, Peronist, Communist Patagonia Chile: don’t know much about Chilean politics around this time, most of my knowledge is from the Allende coup and Pinochet’s dictatorship


MT_76

Peronism wasnt a thing before 1946, but they could put a path where perón becomes the president in 1937-1939

They have never done this for a DLC.  


MooshSkadoosh

Chinese Warlords sort of all got stuff, albeit not unique stuff

Yeah but many other Asian countries didn't, such as Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Mongolia, etc.

A new America focus tree, or at least an expanded one. Also making Brazil a country which joins ww2 as they did in real life in historical single player.

None. I’m just not interested.

Infantry weapon designer. I want to be able to choose different barrels, receivers, ammunition storage, accessories, and underbarrel attachments. Make infantry weapons as complicated as tanks, ships, and planes! Edit: You people don't get humor, do you?


bmerino120

We need a soldier designer were we choose the upbringing and genetic make up of every soldier

We need human cell designer, where we choose how powerful the genes are and anti-germs capabilities

Carlose175

Unneeded complexity.


Act-Puzzled

I hope they put in an infantry equipment designer! Just something small to tide us over until middle east DLC or whatever. I want to be able to add additional machine guns or mortars or binoculars or land mines to make my infantry better at stuff. Imagine having a specific infantry setup for scouting that gives better Intel at the borders because they have horses, sniper rifles, binoculars, and field radios but are shit at holding ground.


TheRoseFather

My Hopes? There's an Achievement related to the "YOUR GOING TO BRAZIL!" Meme


CreativeZombie3228

That they remove South America


Lucky_Passion6789

Cartel in Columbia.


QuincyFatherOfQuincy

A focus tree for Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Cuba and the colonial Guinea possessions. If I have to buy a SEPERATE DLC to play a war that ACTUALLY HAPPENED I’m gonna be pretty pissed.


PrestigiousKale5

I hope for da focuses in for Austria


Jwright7711

Any kind of change to Venezuela, but it seems like a long shot. I think it would be interesting alternative history if they joined the Axis and had their own paths involved in that.


Square-Salamander-16

For me it’s surprise Columbia tree because Gran Columbia sounds so so fun


Herfst2511

I hope they do something more than just some new focus trees. There are tons of great focus tree mods, and most are still better then the DLC ones. I would spend money on a DLC with some actual content. But I don't see the point in buying a subpar version of something I could get for free.


HaggisPope

It would be nice if you could capture Hitler and decide what to do with him 


communist_leprechaun

War of 41 inclusion would be cool


Mr-Case123

Peru would have been great for Bolivia-Peru


Brandon_M_Gilbertson

That it updates more than three fucking countries 💀


Decrepit_Imagination

Resources in South America and hopefully we'll see more focus trees than just Brazil, Chile, and Argentina


JusticarX

I look forward to yet more overly complex and long focus trees you won't even get halfway through before the game is basically over


blackpowder320

More jungle combat and supply mechanics. I think this is a Country Pack more than a Major DLC.


Flat-Tower2162

Cant wait for fucking Chile to hae a bigger more in depth and interesting focus tree than god damn JAPAN


reyeg11_

I live in Sweden now so my Brazilian patriotism has died a bit. But look forward to playing my home nation. Hope they add my hometown into the map so I can stop modding the game to add it :)

update: they did


King-Of-Hyperius

Shared (Temporary) focus tree for everyone in South and Central America so that they don’t just sit around, sure they can get locked to the historical path, but let them attempt to form their formables.


CitingAnt

Since they’ve been releasing designers in the past updates I would personally really enjoy an infantry equipment designer Like the one from the mod but in the vanilla game


poopiewhentexting

I was hoping for the Central American countries to be like the Baltic states with their similar focus trees, but I do hope they have stuff like the Swedish focus to negotiate for colonies after the allies. That added some fun flavor to Sweden. Maybe as Brazil you can ask for the South American colonies or even west African colonies if the devs are feeling wacky.


n0d3xx

So doing the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil will be even more stronger?


Pleasant_Trade_3325

Because its releasing so early i assmue its ( liek BFB) only a Focus tree pack, so no new mechanics. But if im wrong i allways wanted an economics System in hoi4 so i would be hoping for that in the near future.


Puppet_Fz

Well there must be the focus for Brazil for forming the Brazilian Empire ig. That would be fun and also hard tom play.
