Better National Focuses

This mod is a merger of my other two mods, which I have decided are obsolete, called Better Asian Focus Trees and Better European Focus Trees. Both of those mods were a conglomeration of multiple other mods which I did not create. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1913418927/3356799628321383776/. This Mod adds and improves focus trees for the countries represented in Hearts of Iron IV. Also fixes some super ahistorically frustrating things that happen in basegame WWII, such as:

-Yalta Conference being trash.
-Eastern front being a flat ahistorical tug-of-war between Germany and the Soviets.
-Soviet satellites and German Reichskommissariats not being formed.
-Allies and Axis not paying enough attention to Africa.
-D Day just sort of not happening.
-Invasions and occupations of the middle east not being properly represented.
-Japan not invading Southeast Asia.
-Japan losing land to the Chinese or even being pushed out of Mainland Asia.
-Japan doing the exact opposite and just annexing/puppeting all of china.
-Japan not doing pearl harbor or doing it early/late.
-Japan repeatedly and painstakingly getting itself encircled in inner mongolia time and time again
-Basically just a lot of stuff to do with Japan.

-Not compatible with most mods that edit focus trees or events.
-Semi compatible with mods that edit states. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but if the mod alters provinces then I recommend not trying it.

MANY OF THE FOCUS TREES ADDED ARE NOT MINE!

-Completely revamp all focus trees and add paths for every ideology
-Fixing any current bugs and minimizing incompatibilities

While our single developer is working hard to make this mod better and better, he can’t do it all alone! Make sure to tell me in the comments if you experience any bugs in this mod, so I can troubleshoot it and eventually pass it along. We currently have an ambitious list of improvements planned, so please be patient!

29 Nov, 2019: Minor Update
-fixed missing tech graphics for Germany
-edited ai to be less likely to spam divisions when low on equipment or manpower
-made Soviet Union more likely to produce Katyusha Rocket divisions
-increased number of divisions in china but increased military debuffs, historical accuracy

29 Dec, 2019: Major Update
-more rebalancing in the Eastern Front
-added in SS and NKVD Divisions, along with other political divisions for other countries (Imperial Guards for Japan, etc)
-integrated the More Technology mod, expanding tech up to 1964

2 Feb, 2020: Major Update
-Started the Process for making the 1939 Start Date functional (it wont crash now but it’s not done yet either)
-Slightly Improved the military AI overall
-Made Ireland less likely to Join the Allies on it’s own
-Turkey Overhaul (plan on doing more, just a base fix)

-Renamed U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. (the names were too long for me)
-Added in a demobilization event, imported and edited over from a dead mod, so that the game doesn’t literally die with how many divisions China and Russia have after the war. This event will cause everyone involved in a major faction war (World War) to delete their divisions once the fighting is over.
-Added in a system for Democratic Puppets and Puppets of countries in democratic factions (WIP):
–you have to do decisions to keep your puppet in place if you are a democracy
–if you don’t do them in time the puppets will go free
–if you are a non-democratic country in a democratic faction (looking at you Stalin!) you will also have democratic puppets (now you gotta work for that Eastern Bloc!)
–(planned) Decisions for undercutting the foreign influence by the puppet in question
-Loosened up the Eastern Front:
–Germans can now push further into the Caucuses or take Moscow in the first 4 months of the war
–Soviets get larger buffs following the first year of the war
–If pushed too far back in the first year, the Soviets will do a Winter Counteroffensive
–Choosable Decisions instead of Automatic Ideas
