Whoever plays South Africa for fun needs therapy I'm editing this because I realised that I'm the type of person to enjoy a Historical Australia playthrough
I remember trying south africa like 4 years ago and it took me 12 hours and until 1958 to take all of africa. Mainly bc manchukuo took Ethiopia and i didnt try building a navy so i had to go through the mid east and india. Also, for everyone's consideration: I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru I've had sunstroke in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu I've seen unicorns in Burma and a yeti in Nepal And I've danced with ten-foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall I've met the king of China and the working Yorkshire miner But I've never met a nice South African
Every south African I've met in the US has been a sneering academic type, who also insists south Africa is like, the greatest country, totally! Please ignore the gangs and poverty!
I forget South Africa exists, it's snugly buried between everything, and buried under the UK colonies At least with chile or something it's by the Pacific, which makes it kinda noticeable South Africa is just there... The only nation that's just as unnoticeable is British Malaya (unless you want resorces, then that's the first place you're looking)
basically every focus tree needs a rework. but you know those troglodytes will charge for each one. and they won't even be good either, ToA proved that even now they still can't make good focus trees. just play overhaul mods at this point, vanilla is trash
Paradox took the Spitting Image song "I've Never Met a Nice South African" to heart and decided to make South Africa not fun as a punishment to all white South Africans
It's bizarre that Paradox decided to include all thes nations in the first paid DLC. It's more bizarre that devs made these weak nations even weaker by adding "contents" to them. You'll have much better experience playing as British Malaya.
This is funny to me, because when I was JUST starting out with HOI4, I played South Africa and Brazil almost exclusively so I could learn the base mechanics/learning the buttons of the game without worrying about much consequence. Why those two? Brazil can become a powerhouse in the region once you take care of it's internal problems and build up the civilian economy/infrastructure. It got even more fun to play when ToA came out which yes, is highly controversial. South Africa not so much, but I played it because it had more achievements tied to it which to a beginner are VERY hard in retrospect. I think doing that though made me better instead of playing a big country like USA or USSR because of the micromanagement and set up is different from something easy like South Africa or Brazil.
I love the choice about Apartheid it gives the player. "So, do you want to keep really, really, really bad racism? Or do you want to downgrade it to just really, really bad racism?"
Dear Isorrow, I believe this path isn't as bad as you make it look like. I tried it and I can say that Air only South Africa is very good with this path (I even managed to get a bit more land after the war). While of course it's nothing too fancy because I am a mediocre player, I do geniunenly believe this is a fun way to play if you prefer doing a bit of a more supportive role
I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru I've had sunstroke in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu I've seen unicorns in Burma and a yeti in Nepal And I've danced with ten-foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall I've met the king of China and the working Yorkshire miner But I've never played a nice South African Focus Tree
Mr. Sorrow Productions, why don't you ever use the medal system for your units? I always see you with a bajillion political power, when you can make your divisions literally not use supply anymore with just four medals of the same type, and other whacky stuff like that.
Considering that I've seen a lot of Leftist and "Progressives" in America starting to advocate for the same things, you could almost start saying this sentence unironically.
I have actually played as South Africa more times than I can count (on my fingers), I just enjoy liberating Africa under Communism. That being said the focus tree is badly in need of a glow up, and the fact you can't become independent at all if you don't Abandon Westminister seems like an oversight
Waking the Tiger I hate the Chinese focus trees, they suck, it's too restrictive and historical There's also not really much other gameplay, but the focus tree, plus the decisions are sucha muddled mess I get why everyone has a similar focus tree, but still, there's just not much to do there, at least having varied focus trees would've been somewhat fun

Who decided it was a good idea that you just couldn't become free unless you picked one of the focus paths? Who needs to have their brain questioned?
they needed a historical path for the ai to choose in a historical game

Ooph that is DARK 😂.
I do hope that Paradox takes a second look at some of the earlier DLC focus trees. British Raj could also use some help
ISP: keeps racism to buff industry
Also ISP: doesn’t build industry
South Africa was acually the first nation I played in HOI III to get started in the game.
Experimental facilities.
It's bizarre that Paradox decided to include all thes nations in the first paid DLC. It's more bizarre that devs made these weak nations even weaker by adding "contents" to them. You'll have much better experience playing as British Malaya.
this is easily one of the most catastrophic games to come out of this series, i love it

Good job RUclips notifications. at letting me know a new video from ISP dropped...
2hrs after it originally dropped. Gotta love it.
South Africa's Focus tree is a crime tbh.
So many will be trying to 'fix' it after that mod tutorial dropped.

South Africa:
1) Doesn't know trains
2) Has a railway company

South Africa is worse than New Zealand and is the worst of the focuses in that dlc. Arguable to be the worst focus tree in the entire game
New Zealand obviously worse. At least you can ally with Axis to defeat allies and conquering most of afric
