Description:

Updates, expands, and reworks almost all of TFV South Africa, including the focus tree. More paths, more options, better historical accuracy, and better alt-history paths.

– Expanded and tweaked focus tree:

• More accurate historical path, with a few more focuses related to SA in the war. And Smuts will now take over just before the war.
• Alternate Smuts path: take over sooner and better prepare the country for the war.
• A full non-aligned path with DF Malan’s National Party, or go full fascist and have Oswald Pirow lead. Both paths can join the Axis or form other alliances (done through decisions).
• An expanded communist path, either done through a new civil war or the old referendum route. Join Uncle Joe or help India gain independence and form an alliance with them. Both routes can do colonial crusdade path now.
• A new democratic ANC route, go through some reforms and start liberating some African colonies, all while helping the Allies.
• There are quite a few more focuses now. Some have been changed to 35 day focuses to keep timing and balance in mind, but you’ll still have to make some tough choices about what you need most right now and what you can get later.
• It’s not meant to be a super OP "I win button" focus tree, especialy the historical path. But the alt-history paths will get a few more factories and better spirits, and a bit more manpower to make it a litle more fun.

– New advisors, theorists, chiefs, designers.
– More generals and admirals.
– More national spirits.
– New decisions added: build up your new African territories, integrate Bechuanaland and Rhodesia, purchase planes from the UK (if you’re in the Allies), build a modern surface fleet, and more.
– A few more events relating to some of your choices. Will probably add more in the future, especially news events.
– More flags and cosmetic tags to add some more flavour to your new alt-history path. And that disgusting pink colour is gone, RIP.

– South Africa is no longer blocked from becoming independent if you go the Allies route. You can now buy your freedom with the normal 300 PP. (Dont’t know why only SA was blocked from that, seeing as they gained independence long before the other Dominions – apart from India)
– You can comfortably get India free with the commie route before Adolf starts the party in Europe. It uses decisions and a civil war to do it.
– Both ANC and commie routes will now remove segregation in one shot while doing other focuses along their paths. No more having to go through the old focuses.
– Check your advisor’s conditions before appointing them, many of them are blocked if you go a certain path. So no DF Malan if you go ANC, for example. There’s enough advisors for all paths.
– The fascist civil war has been made quite a bit easier, you’ll get more units now. It was previously a soul-sucking-time-wasting PITA.
– The commie civil war is also pretty easy. Shouldn’t take more than a few months to win.
– AI strategy files have been addded so if you run this mod in the background the AI will follow its path, depending on whether you selected historical or not. The alt paths are pretty basic right now and I’ll probably need to tweak and optimise them.

Needs Together for Victory DLC. Nothing else.
Will probably have weird/unexpected/potentially lethal results if used in combination with other mods that change SA files.
Should work with most other mods just fine.

**Compatible with Version 1.9.0

Found something strange/glitchy? Have a good suggestion? Post them in the threads below and I’ll take a look.

A massive thank you to the Kaiserreich team over in Fort Kickass for the use of some of their leader and commander portraits, and focus and ideas icons.
