AUSTRIA REDONE - "Between two Giants" [750+ Focuses]

Description
The Mod has not yet been updated to "Götterdämmerung"! If you want to play it, please revert your game back to Version 1.14.*

The ultimate Hearts of Iron IV Mod if you seek to play Austria. Finally after almost 3 years of development I present to you Version 1.0.



The years is 1936.

Two years have passed since the Austrian Civil War occured in 1934 and the Dictator of Austria, Engelbert Dolfuß, has been assassinated by Austrian Nazis. His successor, Kurt Schuschnigg finds the austrofascist state in a precarious situation. Internal Stability is decreasing; international isolation seems a fate impossible to dodge and there is Germany; with their always pressing claim of Anschluss; the annexation of all of Austria into the German Reich.

Unstable and difficult times lay ahead. The choice, what will happen to Austria, no Europe or even the entire globe, is yours to make.




- A Focus Tree with over 750 Focuses (!) with 7 main political subbranches!
1. Habsburg Tree
2. Heimwehr Tree
3. German Empire "in Exile" Tree
4. German Collaberationist Tree
5. Communist Tree
6. Democratic Tree
7. Vaterländische Front Tree with many subtrees

- All trees feature several own subbranches.
- Shared focus tree branches for
1. the Armed Forces (Bundesheer, Luftwaffe, Marine)
2. Industrial and Economic Policies
3. Anschluss Issue and for a potential defensive war against Germany
4. Post WW2 Focuses

- Mechanics such as
1. Several Balance of Power
2. A Propaganda Campaign System
3. A "Between two Giants" Mechanic balancing German and Italian Influence on the Nation
4. A Rearmament Mechanic
5. A Salzburg Crisis Mechanic

- Ton of country leaders, generals and characters, aswell as advisors
- Over 500 new and unique events, fully immersing you into the game
- Many desicions with interesting choices
- lots of custom, high quality GFX
- many formable nations
- a reworked map for Austria
- custom unit models for Austria
- an austrian Radio station
- and simply so much more.

The Roadmap for the next planned major updates:



I can not say when exactly the updates will release, since Im working on the mod alone and real life is also a thing. I will post teasers on the progress of it on my discord server, so join it if youre interested.




Thanks goes to @Zischlaar for the cutting of all the teasers and trailers and the continued support.

Thanks goes aswell to the playtesters that reported back to me during the closed Alpha testing phase: @Kaanpleb, @Fredrik Kaarle, @tiger_, @HZR

Assets from following mods have been used in completing my mod:

- Gun Graphics by Denxson: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2459810419
- Kaiserreich Portrait Overhaul by Mano: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2896337433
- Modifier Icons by man: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2668048070
- Improved Austria-Hungary by Fart Shartley: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2282144589
- u/Net2025 for the Schuschnigg Portrait

If the originial authors want their assets removed from my mod, please let me know.

This mod has been made out of interest in the history of Austria, and the interest in Hoi4 as a game, with Austria being an interesting nation lacking any kind of content in vanilla.

A Submod to make my mod compatible with the Road to 56 is available here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3123839995 by ZJM




Current Version of Hearts of Iron IV Supported: 1.14.7
Current Version of the Mod: V 1.2.2

Note about DLCs: DLCs are not a hard requirement in order to play the mod, however I can not provide support if you run into issues because you do not own them, so I recommend to play with all DLCs enabled.

Should you encounter bugs, have suggestions, questions or simply want to talk about the mod, please, join the discord Server as I may or may not provide support in the steam comment section, but I will on my Discord Server.

====== REVERT TO 1.14.5 Bolivar TO CONTINUE USING THE MOD ========
__________________________________________________________________

We'll make the mod compatible with Götterdämmerung, but it will take some time until we can update (as to not push unfinished content), so please be patient about it.

sadly the new dlc broken this mod again just letting you know
SchKiddows 12 Nov @ 12:56pm 
hey I just wanted to say that this mod is simply incredible and with the announcement of the new dlc i got a bit worried whether it discourages you from continuing development. Having read the comments here, it doesn't look like I need to be worried but just in case, your work is amazing and I will definitely keep playing it regardless of the dlc. I wish I had the money to support you in your endeavors

@FifthHydra: Thank you! We will add something for Germany, to say the ultimate least...

@gtegoty09: Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, there are still tons of stuff to potentially better down the line ... much of the focus-tree was done by Augustus when he still had, and I quote "little idea to what I was doing", so there will be much more competent reworks and changes down the line eventually... I just must ask you to not expect any of those in 2024 still. But, rest assured, there will be eventually!

@The cloaker 1. Very likely; we are currently reworking the communist path, so there will be an overlap.
2. You will have benefits regaring Austria and Germany no matter if you have the DLC or not; this is a laborous endeavour but we do try our best to include content for the """"""plebs""""""" who don't pwn all the PDX DLCs (completely valid)
3. yes
4. Thank you <3

@Binky_Fish: Many times we have, in fact, but it would make Austria too uncomplete. It'd not represent her well enough tbh, so we -- sadly -- do have to draw our lines in the sand somewhere.

@Puggy_The_Offender: that is in fact odd. Mayhaps try redownloading / reinstating your files?
The cloaker 11 Nov @ 10:54am 
Hey quick questions-
1. Will you possibly take anything from the recent DLC for Austria and implement any?
2. If so does this mean you'll be adding anything future that would help with the recent DLC, like changes to certain buffs and of course the German Focus tree (modifying it to fit with Austria.)
3. Any thoughts on a more disunited empire of Austria (Kaiserreich reference???)
4. The amount of effort you have put into this mod and historical ('historical') accuracy is outstanding. And I will most definitely be playing this along side the new DLC- when its updated for it.

Thanks!
Binky_Fish 10 Nov @ 4:47pm 
Have you ever thought of making a version that doesn't add the extra states to Austria so the mod can be compatibility with others?
