      Late to the party, but there's sometimes a trick with those focuses. I don't know about the generic tree, but the South African tree for sure changes the location of the added factories if you don't control the provinces it normally lists. But that isn't the case in the United States if you are in a civil war where California secedes. The focus still lists California for dockyards.

    @sandercohen5543 Год назад

    If you don't wanna deal with the funky exploit with borders in vichy france, you can simply declare on france while they are fighting germany, so you get the levant before vichy france gets formed, then push through the suez and wait for italy to lose its territory in libya. The only potential problem you might run into is taking cyprus, but if you've been building aircraft, you'll be able to acheive air superiority, and thus paradrop onto the island. Alternatively, if you take the rest of north africa, and greece gets capitulated, the allies no longer have any ports in range of cyprus, so naval superiority becomes much easier to achieve. If their fleet gets stuck in the mediterranean, you can just damage them, and then port strike them as they try to repair in cyprus (they will also be out of supply if they put fleets in port, because their convoys can't reach cyprus).
    Still, I'm glad i watched this guide, as i learned some new things that make this campaign easier and less tedious for me in two ways: I now know of a way to capitulate romania without involving the axis, and i also don't have to fight italy to be able to form persia (because i didn't know about the mechanic with military access, involving occupation).
    Italy, in particular, was a massive thorn in my side, since i would have to go to war with them prematurely, so as to prevent them from joining the axis, as i would eventually need to go to war with them for the dodecanese, and the "libya" region.

    Excellent video and great content but I want to pose you a question. Is it possible to recreate the Persian Empire with non-aligned Persia ? Why ? Because the Persian Empire flag's is so beautiful.
    Yes, I know, I love flag

      In theory, yes. In practice....no, you will be too slow to declare war and you'll miss out on some vital timings

    Challenge: northern Light achievement but no attacking, you have to make 3 other nordic states to join your faction on their own

      That's pretty much impossible. None of the nordic countries are willing to join unless they're in a common war with you and even then they tend to prefer joining the allies instead and Finland tends to join the axis because it's the soviets attacking who usually also fight the germans.
      I just don't see it happening.

    Countries can still have supplies even if they're cut of from the capital if they hold victory point (a city)

      but it's nothing compared to the supply you get from the capital.
