Wehrmacht Auto-Focus Delegation – Vanilla

# Wehrmacht Auto-Focus Delegation – Vanilla

Have you ever wished you could keep progressing Germany’s military focus tree while your main national focus slot remains free for politics, industry, diplomacy, economy, or other national priorities?

Now you can achieve that with **Wehrmacht Auto-Focus Delegation – Vanilla**.

This vanilla Germany mod adds a new decision-based **auto-focus delegation system** for the German military branches. Instead of manually taking every Army, Luftwaffe, or Kriegsmarine national focus through your main focus slot, you can delegate selected military focuses to the appropriate German high command branch.

The system is built around the Wehrmacht high command:

* **OKH** handles Army / Heer focuses
* **OKL** handles Luftwaffe / Air Force focuses
* **OKM** handles Kriegsmarine / Navy focuses

Your country leadership can continue focusing on politics, industry, economy, diplomacy, or other national focus tree paths while the Wehrmacht high command slowly works through delegated military planning.

## Main Features

This mod adds a dedicated **Wehrmacht Auto-Focus Delegation** decision category for Germany.

Through this category, you can assign available military national focuses to:

* **OKH** for German Army, Heer, land doctrine, motorized, panzer, armor, artillery, logistics, military research, and defensive Army focuses
* **OKL** for Luftwaffe, air force, fighters, bombers, tactical bombers, CAS, naval bombers, radar, air defense, rocketry, aircraft research, and air warfare focuses
* **OKM** for Kriegsmarine, navy, shipbuilding, carriers, battleships, U-boats, raiding, naval rearmament, Atlantic bases, and naval warfare focuses

The mod covers the German **Army**, **Air Force**, and **Navy** focus branches from the vanilla German national focus tree and turns them into available delegation decisions when the original focus would normally be pickable.

## How It Works

The delegated focus decisions follow the vanilla German national focus tree logic. A delegated focus only appears when its original national focus would normally be available to be picked.

The mod respects:

* focus prerequisites
* mutually exclusive paths
* original available conditions
* focus completion checks
* active branch delegation locks
* shared / joint military focuses

When a delegated decision finishes, it completes the corresponding national focus using the actual focus reward from the active German focus tree.

That means the mod does **not** manually copy national focus rewards. It uses the original national focus itself, so the real Germany focus effects are preserved.

## Separate High Command Slots

Each military branch can handle one delegated task at a time.

This means you can have:

* one OKH Army task active
* one OKL Luftwaffe task active
* one OKM Kriegsmarine task active

at the same time, while your main national focus slot remains free.

Joint military focuses correctly occupy more than one branch. For example:

* **Combined Arms** uses both Army and Luftwaffe delegation
* **Establish Carrier Groups** uses both Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine delegation

This keeps the system logical and prevents overlapping military delegation where it would not make sense.

## Balance

Delegating military planning is powerful, but it is intentionally slower and more expensive than taking the focus normally.

Compared to a normal national focus:

* **Political Power cost is doubled**
* **Duration is tripled**

For example:

* a 35-day focus costs 70 Political Power and takes 105 days
* a 70-day focus costs 140 Political Power and takes 210 days

The idea is simple: you are not personally focusing the full state apparatus on that task, so the military branch can work on it separately, but it takes longer and consumes more political power.

This makes the system useful without turning it into a free extra focus slot.

## Status Display

The decision category includes a clear status display for each branch:

* **OKH: Available / Unavailable**
* **OKL: Available / Unavailable**
* **OKM: Available / Unavailable**

When a branch is already working on a delegated focus, it becomes unavailable until the current task is completed.

## Designed for Vanilla Germany

This is a dedicated **vanilla Germany** mod.

It is designed around the vanilla German national focus tree and includes military focus content for:

* Germany
* Wehrmacht
* OKH
* OKL
* OKM
* Heer
* Luftwaffe
* Kriegsmarine
* Army branch
* Air Force branch
* Navy branch
* German military expansion
* panzer research
* air doctrine
* naval rearmament
* U-boat warfare
* carrier planning
* military research
* tank development
* aircraft development
* battleship construction
* strategic flexibility

This mod is intended for players who enjoy vanilla Germany but want more strategic flexibility in how they handle military national focuses.

## Compatibility

This mod does **not** replace or overwrite the German national focus tree.

It works through decisions and scripted triggers, which makes it much less invasive than a full focus tree replacement.

It should be compatible with any mod that does **not** significantly change the vanilla German national focus tree.

Minor changes to the German focus tree should usually be fine, especially if the **Army**, **Air Force**, and **Navy** military branches remain close to vanilla and keep the original vanilla focus IDs, prerequisites, mutually exclusive paths, and available conditions.

This mod is most likely compatible with mods that:

* leave the vanilla German Army branch mostly unchanged
* leave the vanilla German Air Force branch mostly unchanged
* leave the vanilla German Navy branch mostly unchanged
* do not replace Germany’s national focus tree
* do not remove or rename vanilla German military focus IDs
* only make small edits to rewards, icons, AI logic, or balance

This mod may not work correctly with total focus tree overhauls, major Germany reworks, or mods that heavily modify the German military focus branches.

Recommended load order:

1. Vanilla-compatible focus tree or gameplay mods
2. **Wehrmacht Auto-Focus Delegation – Vanilla**

Because this mod adds gameplay decisions and changes progression, it is **not achievement compatible**.

## AI

The AI is not allowed to use this system.

This is intentional. The auto-focus delegation mechanic is designed for the player, because the AI would not understand the strategic trade-off between political power, focus timing, branch availability, and military planning priorities.

## Summary

This mod gives vanilla Germany a thematic, balanced, decision-based military auto-focus system.

Delegate military focuses to OKH, OKL, and OKM. Keep your main national focus slot free. Build up the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine through long-term high command planning while still pursuing politics, industry, economy, diplomacy, or other national focus paths.

If you enjoy playing Germany and want a more flexible military planning experience without replacing the focus tree, this mod is for you.
