@@__-my3qz Well, not really, as there is still the auto-generate button which builds a general template with the fitting name, so 1940 Medium USA tanks have the Sherman as generic template and name, and the 1934 light tanks from N-Z still have the Bob Semple as base template. If anything, you can build the Bob Semple with even more glorious innovations, like cannons instead of machine guns.
Re: offer peace, it would be kinda fun if you could have a partial surrender and include the defendant as a member of the peace conference. Give them a modest amount of warscore to 'annex' the land they get to keep. But this is PDX and HoI4, so we'll probably just get a Zimbabwe focus tree expansion instead of anything cool.
An africa flavor pack would be lit, ofc there will be 20 and each cost 10 dollars and have less focuses than the default tree. On second thought a rt56 Africa flavor pack would be great.

I feel like the soviets become kind of ridiculously strong by 1940 if they do the historical focuses because they seem to get an absolutely massive amount of factories from annexing the baltic states now.
First time I played New Zealand, I managed to deploy like maybe 7 sub-par divisions, became independent, joined China against Japan, and then sent all my divisions to China. They all got intercepted and died before they could even reach a port :D
There needs to be a choice for puppets to abandon their owner's wars once getting independence. Since if New Zealand was freed from British control, they had no reason to support a nation that was in a losing war, under a different government.
It's been a few patches ago, but I used to just rush subs with NZ and destroy the IJN transports causing their efforts to fail utterly (0 transports). Pretty much all of my manpower went into manning subs. I retired a few older models towards the end to build a couple divisions of marines to grab ports in mainland japan and even got a solo capitulation once.
I expect you know this but...Custom Country rules also work in ironman ahistorical as long as you pick default or whatever the historical is. Useful for some achievement runs and a more "sensible" world war.

The waiting game until you can get to have six research slots and turn into Oceanic Wakanda is pretty tedious. But once you roll into the Pacific with souped up carriers, planes and marines it gets really fun
My grandpa was in the New Zealand army as an engineer and made landing strips in the Pacific. The Japanese would shout insults at him from the jungle, except on movie nights, when they stay quiet from their hiding spaces and watch.
@@bobsemple07 I wish I knew more. He died in the 80s, and burned his diary of the time. I can tell you he hated the British, loved the Americans because they would share coke and chocolate with him, and refused to buy Japanese. He was probably a Communist, but we don't know for certain. He loved airplanes, gardening, and machine tooling. He raised chickens, liked to give them each names, and hated killing them so much he had to get drunk to do it. I don't think he had a nice time in the Pacific. Like a lot of vets he picked the fun stories to share of his time but left out the horrors. That's basically everything I know about him.
@@bobsemple07 It was more Winston Churchill. Gallipoli was still fresh at the time. A lot of Australians and New Zealanders really do not like Churchill to this day, the ANZACs were formed partially to avoid direct British command.

Using those custom focus sets you can force Germany or somewhere else to still go historical even when they wouldn't normally too.
There needs to be a choice for puppets to abandon their owner's wars once getting independence. Since if New Zealand was freed from British control, they had no reason to support a nation that was in a losing war, under a different government.
