Hoi4 German Focus Tree
Today, I’ll be going over the focus tree for Hungary. Hungary is an interesting country to model because, in real life, Hungary had a bloodless revolution in 1919 which resulted in the establishment of a Communist government, which only lasted for a few months before being overthrown by Romania.

Hoi4 Germany Focus Tree Historical Order
Hey all! Sorry for the long hiatus, but classes and other things have kept me pretty busy lately. Nevertheless, in that time I managed to finish planning the core of the German focus tree.
This is no small feat, because of all the countries of this time period, Germany was the most volatile and the most prone to going in several different directions. So, as Germany, the player will have three paths to choose from, which I will now very briefly go over.
Liberal Path:Â
The aim of this path is to try and win back as much territory as you can from the Allied Powers through negotiation, rather than saber-rattling and open conflict. However, this is much easier said than done, and requires the player to maneuver through years of arduous diplomatic focuses, and to actually pay back their WWI reparations in full. Later focuses, however, allow you to slowly build up your country again, increasing the size of both your army and industry. In short, this path allows the German player to remain allied with France and Britain and stop the rise of Fascism and Communism wherever it should arise. However, the German player will initially be significantly weaker and vulnerable to invasion, so strong diplomatic ties will be necessary. The most boring tree, in my opinion, but still worth having.
Fascist Path:
This path is very similar to the German tree in the base game, with some rearrangements to account for the alternate possibilities offered by the mod. I won’t go into too much detail on this one as you can get a pretty good idea of what it will look like from the base game, but I will say that since a total ideological role-reversal is possible by random chance in the mod – wherein communists take hold in Italy and/or Hungary while Russia becomes the world’s first fascist power – many of the focuses will be done through event rather than through focus.
Communist Path:
This path is defined by one singular choice: whether to work with Soviet Russia or antagonize them. The player can, for example, take in Russia’s political refugees if the Soviets choose to go down a more repressive path, leading the 4th International or its alt-history equivalent, or work with Russia in spreading Communism across all of Europe. This tree is most interesting if Soviet Russia wins the Civil War, as many focuses will simply not be available if Russia is not a Communist power. Many policies in this tree are also related to financial recovery and building up industry, which the player can undertake much more quickly than in a liberal Germany. However, both this and the fascist tree require a pre-tree to unlock, which involves getting the Communists/Fascists into power first through a long process of supporting their organizations within your own country.

So, this is the general outline of the tree (which has been fully fleshed out, policy for policy, save for some ‘extraneous’ trees which I’ll add in later once the main one is playtested). This was the longest and hardest to complete, since it is in reality three trees (though one had already been mostly planned out, granted). As such, expect future updates to come a bit more quickly, though I can make no promises! 🙂
My next project is Hungary’s tree, which I expect to be a fun challenge! I’ll report back once that is complete.
