Just as a brief heads-up: The patch for compatibility with No Step Back will probably take a long time since there are a lot of game systems (map, characters) that will be affected by the new content and coding.

But! As a part of the update to NSB, I will also be including a huge update I've been developing over the past year that includes a revamped version of the TfV India focus tree that brings it closer to modern nation content standards. This may be released as a 1.10 patch only update followed by the conversion to the post NSB paradigm.

Again, please be patient and I will do my best to complete both the India content and the patch update work.

The impassables are VERY VERY buggy in the Balkans, I lost 2 world wars because of this single issue. If I were you I would remove them completely because I have to adjust the fronts every second.

@Ferrum: Can you replicate the bug without the mods and post the crash and error logs in the Bug Reports Thread here?

Hi, sorry, my game die and crash when my troops advance on North America, I play with Peru and I played without problems throughout the game, but after much effort I advanced on the North America and boom crash, again and again, I want to die :( whatever, nice mod!, you have corrected many areas of South America and I appreciate it, (and yes, I play with other mods, visuals and minor modifications, the only one that modifies the map is this one) Thank you and good luck!

I think fixing the Together for Victory focuses would be really great for this mod. i really like what you did with South Africa and seeing the same work put on the Raj, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand would be great. I would be glad to help, but i have know experience in modding.

Awesome update! A small request, could you possibly add american samoa in? Currently Samoa is 2 tiles and controlled by NZ but America Controlled half of it. Would love to see it added in.

Just an update and reminder: the 1.10 update will be posted once 1.10.2 moves out of beta status. I will be posting a preview of the changelog in the discussions section.

The update to 1.10 is on standby! I will be waiting until after the 1.10.2 patch is dropped by Paradox to make sure all files are compliant before uploading.

Hey man played the new update and loving a lot of the additions. Hopefully you can get the update for the new dlc out soon.

Just a quick update - I'm still testing for bugs but I am also delaying because I want to add election events for minor nations that change their rulers (I'm looking at you, Australia!). I apologize again for the wait!

Note: testing the bug fixes is gonna take a little longer than anticipated, so I apologize again for the delay for the patch. My usual PC that I test it on is behaving rudely for some reason.

Awesome and thank you!

@naterator: CK3 got to me, expect it this weekend

Any word on the new update?

Hey all! I'm still working on the next patch, which will be both a bug fixing focused update and add a massive amount of community portraits to the game. I'm hoping to be done with it sometime in the next week or so, so keep your eyes peeled for an update soon!

Ever thought of Doing an small Italy rework. They really need it imo. Paradox has not updated them sense launch.

@piperaptor: thanks for the heads up- I'm trying to figure out exactly why the Soviets are going ham so often compared to the Vanilla Focus / AI. If you find any further bugs, please post them in the "Bug Reports Thread" Discussion!

good mod, but i had the same problem of an early DOW to poland by the soviet, even if i sign the pact with them in 1938 as GER. This happened after the fate of czech around may-june

@Naterator: Danzig is already in as a releasable nation in Danzig state rather than as a micro-nation, and I already reduced Okinawa + Iwo Jima in size from Vanilla to a size that's much closer to reality.

Adding the Free City of Danzig could also be cool. They voted to join the Reich during the invasion and it would add to the historical authenticity. An event could trigger that when Poland is invaded. Also the size of Okinawa has always bothered me. It giant compared to what it it actually.

@ Naterator: thanks for the reports! I've been having issues preventing SOV from declaring war on Poland early, so I appreciate the warning that my AI scripting isn't working. I also just checked the database and census records and you're right that Buenos Aires's population is off by a factor of 10.

Found a funny bug, was looking around the Americas and Buenos Ares has 55 million people living there. Makes Argentina have a giant manpower pool haha.

Here to report some issues. The Soviets tend to take the focus Claim Eastern Poland very early. This causes weird things like a 1938 soviet invasion of Poland and the Allies declaring war on the Soviets.

Hey thanks for the answer man, and i do see your points. For M-R borders adding Suwalski as a province should be a simpler addition. As it went under German control. And it might be minor but it would be cool if Wilno went under Lithuanian control during the partition of poland. Cheers!

@Naterator: Thank you for playing the mod!

Regarding your suggestions: I can do American Samoa easily, but I don't know if adding a state for the right bank side of the Rhine DMZ would add anything for either gameplay or historical accuracy (in most cases it was only a 50km wide zone and doesn't correspond to any regional census data). The main differences in the M-R borders compared to pre/post-war borders (mostly in the Bialystock / Grodno region) would be kind of a headache for me to divide in such a way that it makes sense for alt-history stuff while still having reliable population data. That being said, I do try to poke at the M-R border stuff from time to time but I haven't found a satisfactory solution for the mod yet. Likewise, I'm a little leery about adding yet another microstate to the Balkans to represent cessions to Axis powers when Italy's control over most of them vs. Germany doing the local occupation was extremely dubious at best.

Hey man awesome mod. This is exactly what I was looking for. I simply wanted a better vanilla experience and this is what you made :) For some requests would it be possible to have the Rhineland demilitarized zone go along the whole river as well as American Samoa seperate from New Zealand? My last 2 requests would be historical Molotov-Ribintrope pact borders(including Lithuania annexing Wilno) as well as Ljubljana being its own province for italy to annex. Thank you!

Update 1.4 is live! Please let me know if you find any bugs in the mod unrelated to the current beta patch or content from La Resistance.

Hello All! I've been busy working on the update to 1.9.* (mod version 1.4) in my free time this past month, and I should have it out soon sometime this weekend. I apologize for the wait.

As released country

Could you add Free State Danzig?

Update v1.3 is online! Please let me know if there are any issues with the build as-is.

Hey all! Just so you know, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth but have been working on the next update. If you want to see the full replacement Soviet focus tree at a slightly blurrier resolution, here's a link: Warning: large png file!

Really awesome mod, you should release an RT56 version though. Literally the only thing keeping me from downloading that right now. But otherwise, definitely a 10/10

I only use 1 another mod with your artwork there, and i want to inform you about one little flaw. In all of my games; USA never enters "Allies" and fight under "No faction". I dont know what difference it would make but just wanted to say.

Thank you all for your comments! I apologize for not replying earlier, as I've been waiting to get as much feedback as possible before announcing any of my next moves regarding the mod. I will be starting a discussion shortly where I'll bring up the frequently-asked questions and comments made so far.

You have lots of work already planned out. I just want to selfishly propose Pantelleria as an added state.

this work with RT56?

finally asia is accurate

add the channel islands on northern france

China a bit too OP.

ehh no

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ecuador didn't lose Pastaz until like 41

Add Danzig

Crashes at ww2 outbreak please fix

also very inconsistent and makes no sense

impassable borders in the alps is retarded

I enjoy this alot.
although i do have a suggestion, being of you could make the western rhine its own states.
other than that, this is pretty cool keep it up.

is this r56 compatible

Great mod ! Plz keep updating it
