FEATURES-A new focus tree for the United States Go with Joe Biden or Donald Trump, start a second American civil war, establish the Fourth Rome, proclaim the American Kaiserreich, embrace Radical.
Starting country borders for 1947 set up. What if the United States of America travelled back in time to 1936 This mod tries to answer this question. Additionally, in the case that both superpowers compete for the same country, an influence arms race can occur, and they may find themselves overcommitting for too little gain. As the European situation solidifies, the USA and USSR will look to Asia, Africa and eventually even South America to aquire new allies. For example, the USA cannot give Marshall Aid to a country that is already Communist. Once either superpower has dominant influence over a country, it will become more difficult for the other superpower to take their own influence focuses there. The USSR and USA (and to a lesser extent France and the UK) will have to rush for influence in various countries in Europe and beyond before the other superpower can take a dominant position. Secondly, focus trees will face more time pressure. They won't be entirely absent, but political decisions will take centre-stage. Firstly, focus trees will have less generic industrial, military or research bonuses as compared to vanilla. For example, technology and unit types will remain largely unchanged apart from changing the dates at which they become avaliable.įor national focuses, we have two design goals. The goal of this mod is to maintain gameplay that is very similar to that of Vanilla HOI4 while presenting an alternative geopolitical scenario. The costs of war have lead to a recession in the US and a famine in the USSR.
The political situation in Europe remains indeterminate, as both Soviet and American attention has been divided by the continuation of WWII against Japan. World War II ended in June 1946 with a Japanese surrender after the complete destruction of the countries military infrastructure. Simultaneously, the Soviet Union occupied all of Korea. The United States invaded and occupied parts of Japan in Operation Downfall from November 1945 through April 1946, at great cost. This leads to several key changes to the world by the start date of 1947. However in 2017, the Progressive Wing of the Democratic Party (Western Outlook Social Democrats) and Right Wing Populists also have some influence.The premise of this mod is that the US never embarked on the Manhattan project, and therefore did not develop nuclear weapons and use them during WWII. In 2000, the Democratic Party (Liberals) and Republican Party (Conservatives) are the major parties of the US, and the current system entrenches both.
