Majulah Malaya
Onward, Malaya â A Hearts of Iron IV Total Focus Overhaul
"We are all Malayans. Whatever our race, whatever our religion â this land is ours to lose or win."
Version: 1.0.0 | Supported HOI4: 1.18.x | No DLC required
Majulah Malaya is a comprehensive national focus tree overhaul for British Malaya (tag: MAL). In 1936, Malaya produces half the world’s rubber and a third of its tin, yet has no army and no say in its own future. This mod changes that.
A note on names: "British Malaya" is the 1936 start. "Federation of Malaya" emerges in 1948. "Malaysia" forms in 1963. Each path in this mod leads to a different named successor state.
What’s included:
- 304 national focuses across six paths plus shared branches
- 90+ national spirits and advisors
- 33 flavour events covering defining historical moments
- 19 repeatable and one-off decisions
- 10 continuous focuses for ongoing national bonuses
- Full English localisation
- No DLC dependency
