Fate of Yugoslavia

[Edmund]

Does anybody know the prerequisites to secure Yugoslavia diplomatically as Germany via the 'Fate of Yugoslavia' research? I have done some run throughs and it seems very random - pre Gotterdammerung you had to ensure that there was no support for independence - that dosen't seem to matter, now but world tension does seem too. Any insights appreciated? Edmund

-the 2 focuses before the fate bypasses by nov 1940 because of the tripartite pact
-the 2 focuses before the fate bypasses if u sign a non aggression pact with yugo
-croatia launches a coup and u can invite in faction if u declare war on yugoslavia
-if you puppet them there will be a coup and they will have a civil war so never puppet them
-if you complete the fate of yugoslavia focus the histrocial choice is to make a croatian puppet annex the rest

[Edmund]

Ok, specifically what is proving difficult is the actual focus 'fate of Yugoslavia', just don't seem to be able to implement it where Yugoslavia actually agrees to be dissolved. Edmund

Anyone completed Fate of Yugoslavia and consumed them as Germany diplomatically? Edmund

The simplest way to annex is simply through improving relations. Using a spy to apply political pressure helps to really firm that up.

I routinely do it, not sure what the lower window is, but certainly anything over +75 opinion seems to do the job.

If they're already in a faction it's super unlikely that you an make this happen however.

Dear Velvetcrabman,

When I take Slovenia it gives a -50 rating with Yugoslavia. Even using diplomatic pressure I only seem to add a maximum of +15, which, coupled with improve relations, doesn't seem to be enough to get me over 75, even with sale of air planes. By the time non-aggression pact or offer military access kicks in the UK is guaranteeing independence. I just don't seem to be able to get it across the line. What year are you triggering it? Edmund

[velvetcrabman]

Anytime, take the whole lot tho, then release whoever you feel like. 75 should normally be enough for that. Not sure why but splitting stuff up in demands seems more difficult and I might be imagining this but having troops on the border seems to help too. Make sure you're still improving relations when event triggers too.....

[Edmund]

Ok, after significant experimentation, i.e. time, it appears that troops on the border has no impact , neither does opinion. It appears that it is dependant on time, and ensuring that world tension is not above 30 i.e. can't be triggered prior to 38 and annexing Czechoslovakia first raises tension too high. I've tried all the variables suggested, in combinations, i.e. massing troops, diplomatic pressure, improving relations, etc. - if at any stage their is a major power backing Yugoslavia then it is impossible to annex them. Now trying to explore annexing Greece and having similar problems!!! Edmund

[velvetcrabman]

I'd beg to differ, not sure why you're having such problems tbh, but it's very seldom an issue in my Germany runs.

Thank you for that Včelí medvídek, appreciated.

Don't suppose you'd be able to pull up the info for German diplomatic annexation of Greece in the 'Fate of Greece' event?

Happy to change "super unlikely" to " not going to happen" :)
