All other nations use the generic national focus tree, or a tree of generic focuses mixed with unique focuses. Additional countries received a unique focus tree as part of different DLC-like updates to the game.
The great powers of Old World Blues received a unique national focus tree in the initial release. It is important to note, however, that player nations are not bound by this and as such their in-game actions can still force the AI to pick somewhat less than historical choices. Players wishing to have a more canon-based campaign can choose to do so by ticking the Historical AI Focuses option on the country selection screen (map) just before the start of a new game. The individual options can range from political, diplomatic and warfare-related focuses to more economic and research-related focuses. These paths may be based on actual historical situations in-universe (such as Caesar's Legion conquering the Hangdogs) or on alternative historical possibilities based on in-universe and fanmade canon. It will then ask you if you want to cancel the one that is already in research process. :) I believe you can just click on an other one and start it. I have found out that it is the wrong one. National focus trees allow the players (and the AI) to direct the development of their nation in the Hearts of Iron 4 mod Old World Blues.Įach country has a focus tree, representing a number of progression paths (branches) available to that nation. Originally posted by SmartCats: I have national focus with 3 of 70 days into research.
