Hearts of Iron 4 - Historical Focus Paths

This is a list of the Focuses the AI nations of Hearts of Iron 4 will take if the "Historical AI Focuses" option is enabled, in the order they are taken. Each nation with a unique tree is detailed, including all the expansion nations.

Intro

Last Fully Updated: Update v1.15.0. "Götterdämmerung"
[Many older nations that are slightly outdated, or end in 1939]

This guide is simply the Historical Focuses for every nation with a unique Focus Tree in game, and the order they take the Focuses.

Useful if one wants to play historically, or just to see when an opposing nation will do something specific when playing with Historical Focuses on.
:p

Here are some further points;

• I get the order by just playing in single-player using observer mode and writing down what the AI chooses with Historical Focuses on.
  
• Due to how variable some of the early wars can be (such as Italy-Ethiopia, the Spanish Civil War, and the Japanese Invasion of Greater China) there's a big chance some national paths may change in some games.
  
• Sometimes some unknown bug or variable will change the Focus order, so this guide cannot be 100% accurate, sorry.
  
• Because of time constraints, I don't redo every nation every update - so a lot may be outdated.
  
• I stop when Germany Invades the Soviet Union / Operation Barbarossa. I find that after this point there's too many variables so Historical Focuses vary to much to be reliably recorded.
  
• I play with all DLC enabled.

I sincerely hope this is useful.
:)

The Major Powers

Notes
• Italy and Ethiopia start at war in 1936, meaning that Italy’s Focuses may be delayed, unable to be taken at all, or bypassed - depending on what happens there. For some reason, sometimes Italy struggles to capitulate Ethiopia for many more months than it "should".
  
• Italy's "Struggle in Ethiopia" will auto-complete around the 16th May 1936 if Italy does not make enough progress in the war in Ethiopia. But this depends solely on progress in the war.
  
• Many of Italy's Focuses are 35-days long.
  
• Italy's "Corpo di Truppe Volontarie" Focus requires the Spanish Civil War to still be active.
  
• Many Italian Focuses will change the nation's 'Balance of Power'.
  
• Several of the Soviet Union Focuses have strange requirements, such as the Third Five Year Plan requiring 120+ factories and "Beheading the Snake" needing an Intelligence Agency.
  
• Several of the Soviet Union Focuses will be permanently locked when/if the Soviet Union is in a war against another Major Power. Some require either a current, or a past, war against a Major Power.
  
• There appears to be a random element in regard to whether Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will each accept annexation by the Soviet Union - or try to resist. This maybe a bug.
  
• Germany has several Focuses for "Inner Circle" members that will then do their own Focuses independent of the player. They'll do them in a linear order.
  
• Germany has Focuses that aren't 70 or 35 days long!.
  
• Germany's "Legion Condor" Focus requires two volunteers with Nationalist Spain, and thus the Spanish Civil War to still be ongoing.
  
• Several of Germany's Focuses (example, Anschluss) have strange requirements.

Waking the Tiger

Notes
• The 1937 invasion of Greater China by Japan might alter the Focuses. May not.
  
• In my game, Shanxi fell before Local Arms Development completed.
  
• Guangxi Clique/Yunnan/Xibei San Ma share focuses until Guangxi Clique starts Anti-Oppositional Campaigns. Shanxi/Sinkiang share focuses, although Shanxi fell sooner than Sinkiang.
  
• Once Guangxi Clique/Yunnan/Xibei San Ma began the Construction Engineering Continual Focus, they began periodically switching to other Continual Focuses as well. Sinkiang did this once Army Training was chosen.

Man the Guns

La Résistance

Notes
• I have no idea how the Spanish Civil War interacts with the Focuses. I think these are highly variable, so the progression here is probably very rough.
  
• The "Many Spains" have Focuses that are 28 days long, and, ones that are 35 days long.
  
• Just before Spain starts Crush the Revolution, Anarchist Spain will split off.
  
• Anarchist Spain often died really early in my games.
  
• Republican Spain eventually switched to a Continuous Focus.

No Step Back

Notes
• Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia share similar Focus Trees, with each having more unique political branches.
  
• There are multiple 35-day Focuses.
  
• There appears to be a random element in regard to whether Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will each accept annexation by the Soviet Union - or try to resist. Maybe a bug.

By Blood Alone

Notes
• Ethiopia's Focus tree is highly dependent on still being at war with Italy and the status of said war. The war is ongoing at game start. Sometimes capitulation takes a long time - no idea why.
  
• Ethiopia's "Boarding the Train" Focus lets Ethiopia continue the war in exile.
  
• Many Ethiopian Advisors and Focuses alter their Balance of Power.
  
• ["Strengthen the Black Lions" and "Supporting the Arbegnoch" are Continuous Focuses. Once Ethiopia starts cycling between the two it's "stuck" in regards to doing new Focuses until some of it's own land is liberated in the future.
  
• Many Focuses are 35-days long.
  
• Many Swiss Advisors and Focuses alter their Balance of Power. In addition, many of their Focuses have Balance of Power requirements.

Arms Against Tyranny

Notes
• Many a 35-day Focus.
  
• Finland changes National Leaders. These are important for Focuses - and Focuses change Public Trust in National Leaders.
  
• Probably a bug, but when playing as Finland - the Soviet Union never declares war against Finland for the Winter War.
  
• Norway's "Rikstanken" Focus requires that Sweden have at least 1x Light Tank in Stockpile OR have a Major Fascist/Communist Power for an alternative acquisition method.
  
• When a Major Fascist Power / Germany invades Norway, Norway will split into both a Democratic Denmark, and the Fascist Norges Nasjonale Regjering led by Quisling.
  
• Denmark's Focuses rely heavily on their Welfare and Warfare Balance of Power.
  
• (May be a bug, or not) Iceland appears to change what type of Focuses they focus on for some unknown reason. As a specific example sometimes Naval Focuses are chosen first, but other times it is Air. Including when it is a choice between mutually exclusive paths.
  
• Iceland has several similarly named Focuses [Engineering Projects, Infrastructure Development, Infrastructure Projects]

Trial of Allegiance

Notes
• Many 35 day Focuses.
  
• Many Focuses from different nations have the same names.
  
• Chile's "Host Spanish Refugees" requires that the Spanish Civil War has ended.
  
• Several Argentinian Focuses will change the National Leader.
  
• Argentina's "Consolidating Power" will begin a countdown to a Civil War.
  
• Paraguay's "Pull Back Troops from the Chaco" will cause a coup, and switch National Leaders - and ruling party.
  
• Uruguay's "Recognize Francoist Spain" requires a Franco-led National Spain.
  
• Uruguay's "Colorado Election Victory" will bypass, as it is an event.

Götterdämmerung

Notes
• Austria's "Support Italy in Ethiopia" Focus requires that the Second Italo-Ethiopian War is still ongoing.
  
• Austria will receive a Guarantee of Independence from Italy after the 'Reach out to Italy' Focus, which will be rescinded after the 'Disregard the Treaties' Focus.
  
• Romania will replace Hungary's Treaty of Trainon with another Treaty after Hungary's "Negotiate the Restrictions" Focus. This is a requirement for many Hungarian Focuses.
  
• Hungary's "Seek German Contracts" has different effects depending on German opinion of Hungary.
  
• Hungary's "Support for our Finnish Brothers" Focus requires that the Soviet Union and Finland are at war, but only takes 14 days to complete.
  
• Belgium and their puppet/colony of Belgian Congo share a sub Focus Tree in which either can complete MOST Focuses. Some are still nation-specific.
  
• Belgium has Focuses that are completed once specific event choices are made.
  
• Belgium historically falls to Germany, and so many Focuses require capitulation.
  
• The Belgian King will Surrender if certain areas of Belgium are taken.

Oh, that's in the notes for Major Powers! Essentially it depends on how well Italy does in thew war, and sometimes the AI for some reason does super-badly. Most of the time it's 'Struggle in Ethiopia" in my games. :) - but good catch, so I clarified it in the entry.

[NoamLovesCats]

This doesn't say if you do "The Abyssinian Fiasoc" or "Struggle in Ethiopia" As Italy

[ThrownIntoSol]

Must have happened at least twice for me to put it in, because normally when something weird happens like that I'll restart. Maybe was a bug at the time I wrote it up? :)

[All talk and no fight]

Why do you say for FInland, that theres a bug where the Soviets dont attack you? this must be old, the SOviets always attack a player FInland

[WindowsMalfunction]

Mega underappreciated, I'm going through and playing every country like this! No shocker, I got to France and lost as soon as Germany attacked Belgium....

[CannedBison]

In the Mexico focus order, "Repeal the Calles" comes after "Control the Army". Also in my English-Language localization, "Professional Army" is still given in Spanish as "Escuala Superior de Guerra".

[Jonh carapucas]

thx u

[VladVeganu]

I've noticed (post NSB) that France did the "Begin Re-Armament" before "Go with Britain". USA seems to act the same so far (unclear about others).

[TheVisionaryZ]

Please update for No Step Back!!!

[Equilin]

So France does not remove Disjointed Government hmmmm.....

Also can you please extend this (or just the majors cuz they're the only one that matters between that) up to 1941 (with Japan's Strike on the Southern Resource Area)?
