Directors Cut

*LATEST UPDATE* – New germany focuses, new hungary air tree and more! See changelog for the full sauce

We are noob friend and host noob friendly games alongside the normal games we host every couple of days (average 2-3 games a week). If you are new to the mod, it is recommended doing 1-2 test games of the nation you plan to play in MP as some nation’s can be relatively difficult to play well, majors especially so. Don’t be afraid for help for build advice in the discord, people are more then willing to help :).

• New Custom Focus Trees for Germany, Japan, Italy, Soviet Union, UK, USA, France, India, Slovakia, Manchuria, Romania, Ireland, Brazil, Australia and plans for even more!
• New Technologies, but not too much to overwhelm you. Think of it as vanilla +.
• New mechanics for nations to add depth to them, such as for Japan, Germany, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, USA.
• Balance changes to make the mod fair, and fun in MP and SP.
• New custom GFX for many nations (Soviets, USA, Germany, Romania)
• Additional flavor, such as new events

Being/ having been a developer for the original ‘Hearts Of Oak’ and seeing that it was not going to be worked on anymore do to various reasons (Or not going to be worked on for a very long period of time), I decided I would carry on its legacy.

"Directors Cut" is just a continuation of ‘Hearts Of Oak’ with more content and much needed balance changes/ bug fixes. You only need to be subscribed to this mod to play.

Approved and given permission by the original mod ‘Hearts Of Oak’ and its current main developer Xen as a kind of sub-mod. Credit to it and all of the various other mods integrated into it.

Note – This mod (as well as the old mod) are not compatible with a lot of mods due to the vast changes this mod (and old mod) changes.
