Secondly, focus trees will face more time pressure. They won't be entirely absent, but political decisions will take centre-stage. Firstly, focus trees will have less generic industrial, military or research bonuses as compared to vanilla. For example, technology and unit types will remain largely unchanged apart from changing the dates at which they become avaliable.įor national focuses, we have two design goals. The goal of this mod is to maintain gameplay that is very similar to that of Vanilla HOI4 while presenting an alternative geopolitical scenario.

The costs of war have lead to a recession in the US and a famine in the USSR.The political situation in Europe remains indeterminate, as both Soviet and American attention has been divided by the continuation of WWII against Japan.World War II ended in June 1946 with a Japanese surrender after the complete destruction of the countries military infrastructure.Simultaneously, the Soviet Union occupied all of Korea. The United States invaded and occupied parts of Japan in Operation Downfall from November 1945 through April 1946, at great cost.This leads to several key changes to the world by the start date of 1947.

The premise of this mod is that the US never embarked on the Manhattan project, and therefore did not develop nuclear weapons and use them during WWII.
