i think it will be north africa,middleeast,levant. there re countries with achievement but yet to receive a dedicated focus tree.

chinese countries re one of my favorites to play and already have interesting focus trees,but honestly im tired to play them at this point, they got their own dlc already.

and japan honestly s super op imo, idk what else can be added there neither.

tho if they want to attempt to fix bugs in southeast asia , they re more than welcome

Paradox has started reworking major nations. Africa and levant DLC are less likely to be updated.

if the DLC wont gonna be about japan and china, we will probably get arabian peninsula rework or south asia rework

probably paradox will try to hype us before japan and china rework

China, especially communist China need reworks for sure.
For a long time they were bugged, if you were the last Chinese country standing as CC, the Burma road would always be locked and you were never able to design your own aircraft properly, this means no Shenyang, no Chengdu, no Xian, you can make your own t55s but they will be generic portrait ones and generic models too;
They also have no focuses for building research facilities and use generic portraits and models for most of their tanks, equipment, vehicles, ships and aircraft, they also don't have any focuses for the 1950s like most of the other powers do.

Japan is also very dull and very basic and ends very abruptly, after it takes China and the Islands in the pacific - thats it. No more focuses. Nothing for the USA. You exploit the resources and then its over? Its very boring and repetitive.

wish my run d take that long with japan, honestly im done with everything at 1939....
ye that much easy to cheese with japan, thats why i said its such an op country.

with bugs i was much more referring to unpredictability of warlord border clashes, china white peace, korea region. as far as i know these still havent fixed, im welcome to fixes

but i really want unique focus trees for countries' still with generic focus tree, and biggest portion around north africa. morocco,libya,tunisia,egypt,levant and all arabic countries.
ripe and ready for uniqueness.

ofc, something wont happen just because i wished so, im not in mind of publisher and how they wanna rip us a new one. just wishfully thinking for new things, otherwise i dont count reworks as actual dlcs.

I dont think paradox will rework the old DLC, they will just add a new one.

there are still potential superpowers without focus trees: Persia, Arabia, Israel, Indonesia/Malaya, Mongolia, Carthage, Egypt, India/pakistan, Caliphate

i would see any of these regions see a dlc over a chinese/japan dlc for the time being

Persia, pakistan and india getting update in 2025

Malaya, indonesia, mongolia and arabia are probably will get an update in future. we will probably have DLC about them after japan and china getting updated

Carthage? Wtf this Is a WW2 game not Rome 2 Total War. And Israel wasn't a thing in 36 are you talking about the mandate of Palesteine? Tbh a commonwealth rework and a Japan/China rework is needed before Paradox does stuff like spliting off South Rhodesia and Egypt off from the UK to make the map more historically accurate ect

its not a ww2 only kinda game , its mix of ww1 ww2 era, but we also got absurd alt-history paths aswell. hell, who been searching all these political characters probably never read anything about most of them. i can show some characters whom werent even at legal age during 40s. at least from my country's perspective.

all im saying we shouldnt discard ideas just because there s a common misconception that this game s a ww2 simulator.

carthage could be very well a decision/focus for tunisia, if one day north african countries receive focuses, we can establish papal state, rome, ottomans, austria-hungary, confederate america and many more,
his idea not any different. so why not?

and honestly/personally i want to see some new countries come to play, rather than seeing same countries, even you add stuff to them, they wont be so different. its like putting a new leash on same old dog. a hotfix more than enough. it doesnt have to be a dlc with new cookies. and honestly what can we add to china and japan so interesting? which isnt there already? nothing can suprise me unless you put melee troops there.,

and honestly if we gonna talk about fixes via new dlcs, then i say balkans and turkey need urgent overhauls. much more urgent than SEA.

i think empires from old century shouldnt be a formable nations (roman empire, macedonian empire). We should only leave the realistic formable nations and realistic focus trees.

(updated my post, there re points i forgot to mention.)

its been too long this game went unrealistic route, we shouldnt even talk about realism (irl facts vs game) anymore. thats been an invalid criteria.

i d like a realistic ww2 sim like this but unfortunately it was not to be by the look of it, but while we re at this point, why not go completely off the rails.

anyway we ll see what they ll bring infront of us, but im not like i used to be, what i mean i dont pay for something more than it deserves. i will simply wait a sale.

gn, btw happy new year.

and we aren't getting focus trees for north africa unless the game expands content into the 50s and 60s until 1936 the game follows normal history and last time i read a history book Tunisia didn't have the autonomy of Egypt or South Rhodesia in 1936 to be a starting nation. sure maybe it could work as a decision like forming Al-Andalus but we don't need Tunisia as a starting nation and we 100% don't need a focus tree for them. if you want nations that didn't exsist in 1936 then play mods RT56, Kaiserreich/redux ect
I just want fixes for Czech and Yugo.

A proper resistance branch for both given their history would be nice, and like most of the together for victory trees they're just boring and shallow.

Siam and French Indochina (Congo treatment) could use foci too.
