@RedLegoTankOnShelf you want to play sometime?

@NichtBen I tried it as the first one to be loaded, but it still didn't load. I even checked if i had it enabled, which it was. I'll use the one Local 58 suggested, and i'll see if i could enclose it in the next post i do here

@RedLegoTankOnShelf
I use this just fine

@RedLegoTankOnShelf that's strange, it should work with an improved Generic Focus tree mod. Maybe try to move around the load order of the mods in your preset?

Can you make the Generic Focus Trees able to be modded? Cause i want a better focus tree and even when i used a mod it didn't work

I second Arono, at least an option to turn it off after a few years

please allow to turn off border clashes

i hopeyou make the provinces in-between the dnipier seperate like in kaiserredux

Great mod, but the straits over the English channel irks me.

@Pepito Savinkov
He said yes to formables, and there is greater france

Also another question, is it possible to make submods for this mod? i've been getting some problems over it

Also it's weird there isn't a Pan Arab formable

There should be a Greater France formable, also a South German state would be neat

ooohhhh 3 secret formables

Just got back from vacation, Love the new update!

I also never saw them doing anything to powerful last game i played yesterday they had 30 divisions in 1944

Mr.Savinkov you already can unite western russia and then after that you can go for siberia and central asia

It would be dope if Russia was more divided, as they always fuck up Eastern Europe and doing stuff like unifying Western Russia or Siberia would be really fun

Yeah I'm not a modder but I can imagine that the AI is pretty complex. However I think an easy fix would that you could give the ai cores on their neighbors or the 'region' the country is in. I'm not an expert on what exactly would happen but you could give it a test run. Yesterday I saw that one of the british factions was like 2 provinces away from forming united kingdom but never got them. I think. Again I am no expert and if that's not smart I apologize for wasting your time.

@Rustedgloom yeah hoenstly I've been a little scared to touch the AI since I'm really not that good when it comes to that aspect of modding, and I think it will be either rather difficult or incredibly tedious to fix that.

Awesome mod I love playing it with some other mods. Something I am noticing sometimes is that the AI usually is never able to form the formables because they ally with their neighbors and are stuck like that forever. Maybe with the faction rework update that will fix some of it but I just wanted to bring that to attention. It would be very hard to make the ai smart though so I guess the ai will never really make their formables which is sad.

@Fritosmixed Thats what I use!

Thank you for this Mod, been wanting a sandbox mod return and it's here. Of course it's bare but because of the way you made it's very compatibly with other mods so you can create a modpack out of your mod. I know your working on a focus tree but I recommend something like Generic Focus Tree Rework(Updated & Rebalanced)

@¬NichtBen that is what I like to hear.

Hope you get better!

@Fr0zenV0id Not planning on abandoning it anytime soon, though the next update will probably take a bit longer since I'm a bit sick at the moment, and I'm not really in the shape to make any meaningful progresses due to it.

I second that

Please for the love of god never abandon this mod

@Game star Yeah of course, I don't see why not. As long as it is just like an add-on (i.e. you still need this original mod to play) I don't have an issue with it

Alright thanks! keep up the good work. Do you allow people to make sub-mods to this?

@Game star It's certainly not impossible, we'll have to see if I get around to it, as I currently have a lot of other stuff to do. But I'll keep it in the back of my mind for sure!

Is it possible to add a formable about a United Balkans? Just curious.

@SillyFella No there isn't. I suppose if you really don't want it you can manually edit the code to disable it.
To do that open the mod folder (in the launcher click on the 3 dots next to the mod, then choose "Show in folder"), then navigate to common/decisions/categories and open the file release_all_nations_custom_decisions_categories.txt

Then you should see the border_war_decision_category = {...} block right at the top of the file. Replace the contents of it's allowed = { ... } block with "always = no"

is there anyway to remove the demand territory option? It gets really tiring after a while

@regonridge You first gotta form either the Pacific or Atlantic States, depending on what American nation you started with.

@Game star do you have to do another formable first?

@regonridge There is an option to form USA. I have done it.To fix al your others things, I have a lot of mods you might be intrested in if you want. if you scroll back threw the comments, you will see a focus tree mod I sent also.

5. honestly, i wasn't that mad at the lack of focus trees. you can kinda fill a lot of this mod in with your own headcanon lore, but i would like some focus trees. they don't have to be much, i'd honestly take the base focus tree but with some names and icons swapped around for the life of it, but a little bit of spice for each nation :) it can generally be themed around each country trying to reunify/reconquer their former land (e.g. focus for armenia to add claims to former turkish armenia, focus for a fascist/nationalist belgium to remove dutch and french cores on their country, etc.)

sorry for the long comment, just wanted to share my thoughts!

(3/3)

3. more cores: this kinda comes with my first point of border wars only taking place in cores of the aggressor. poland should have cores on posen, bialystok, and lviv (for realism purposes), each country that lost land to kurdistan should have cores on their former territory in kurdistan (e.g. turkey has cores on turkish kurdistan), brazil should have cores on amazonia, france and the netherlands should have their own cores on flanders and wallonia, etc.

4. instead of every country beginning as non-aligned, it'd be fun to see some countries start out with specific ideologies (e.g. america starting as democracy instead of non-aligned, russia starting as communist, etc.) countries should also start out with a certain number of divisions based on how powerful each of them are.

(2/3)

really good mod concept, i've tried replicating it before in the base game (this was much more fun), but i do have some criticisms:

1. border wars are WAY too common and lead to the ai committing a ton of bordergore. i think the way you could fix this is make it so the ai can only demand states (and thus, start border wars) with states they have cores in. should be a relatively easy fix.

2. there should be more formables to simply *reunify" a country. for example, why doesn't america have a formable to simply reform the US? why can they only make the thirteen colonies or eastern america?? i've only played a little bit of the mod so im not sure if you already added that, but you need to form eastern america first. either way, i think simply reuniting old nations (usa, germany, russia) should *always* be an option for a formable. would also add more content to the mod.

(1/?)

@dellza Trust me I tried, but some of these issues are incredibly complicated to fix with my current code. I don't wanna call it impossible (though some of it might be, idk), but it's definitely difficult.

Fix puppets' interactions with their overlords and fellow puppets, often my puppets will be at war with me or try to take my land and then declare war on me, while still being my puppet. They also have a say in the peace treaties, which makes it more of a chore to have puppets than not. 10/10 mod, i love it, genuinely what i've been looking for for about 6 months.

@dave if you want a good modpack, message me. I love this mod and play multiplayer with it often, and have a great set of mods that lead to as lot of fun, and a competent ai

Ah cheers @Game star

use this @Dave

The AI don't do any of their political focuses so stuff is rather bland please fix it so they go down the political path I even did communist run as prussia and all my puppets didnt do a single political focus either I think one of them did at the end of doing every other focus but only got down to the communist one then stopped

I suggest adding a formable to "unite siberia", or one called "unite russia", "unite west russia", then just a final "unite russia", afterwards maybe a "reform the USSR" or anything like that, since russia lacks a lot of content

@Kanye West Himself Yes, and often. they tend to form there own little powerblocks. its not only the player who snowballs. add some better ai mods, and you got a challenge

do ai countries declare war
