Hello all,
Just posting to let people know I've made a new mod that does the same as this one, with a bit more flavor. Check it out:

I agree, custom rules for all worked wonders for replay ability and challenge, a shame that no one offers this content.
SalzStange 19 Apr, 2023 @ 6:05am 
could you please make a mod like the old "custom rules for all 1.9" mod. it added custom paths like facist, democratic or communist to ALL the standard nations without these options.

So you could choose as sample that persia goes communist or afghans, or whatever. Colombia going facist. And so on.

It was a very important mod.

well does it at least still work? anyone remmeber that mod that allowed custom rule for all nations? i cant find it anywhere anymore

Sorry everyone, I got fed up with Paradox's shitty coding and focus trees and decided not to continue with the mod. If anyone wants to continue/expand on my work, feel free, its all in the mod folder when you download it.

Update anytime soon?
Dimas15 23 Jul, 2022 @ 5:51pm 
So... are you gonna rework the no steps back game rule for the soviets, poland and the baltics?
djvandebrake 20 Jul, 2022 @ 7:36pm 
Really like this mod. Wondering if you can expand on what you did for Mexico, though - where a country has multiple paths for a given ideology, an option to choose randomly just from that subset. For example, Fascist Japan can go north against Russia or south against Allies; allow an option to choose one of those but not communist/unlaigned/democratic Japan.

I would love it if it was also available for releasable nations. I would like to be abtle to choose the path Iraq or Belgium for example takes. Thanks!

Hi. Do you have an approximate date of the China release?
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 5:32pm

Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 3:12pm

Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 3:12pm

when do you think the update for battle for the bosphurous be out
donald.grape 25 Dec, 2021 @ 5:30pm 
Thanks for deciding to work on the mod again.
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 25 Dec, 2021 @ 5:21pm 
I just got another week off from school due to COVID, so I've decided to try to update the mod. I can't really afford the new dlc rn so I can't update the new country apths unfortunately. I'll try to fix everything and get BftB out though.
Kate Hurds 6 Dec, 2021 @ 11:39am 
dude pls update for no step back <3 from turkey
Becafer 3 Dec, 2021 @ 3:08am 
Hi, do you plan to update the mod ot NSB? Right now the new paths for the Soviet Union, Poland and the Baltic States don't show but the paths you made are awesome, so it's either your mod or the new paths :(
donald.grape 26 Oct, 2021 @ 7:14pm 
Hello. Do you plan to continue working on this mod? It's been a while since the last update.

Kasim Orbay takes power in Turkey,
Товарищ Сталин 9 Jun, 2021 @ 1:04am 
So,my test is showed that in Mexico is Cristeros Rebelion, British dont go Decolonisation
Товарищ Сталин 9 Jun, 2021 @ 12:35am 
So,Historical Focus is a ploblem. When you do Historical Focus, Manjuria(Japanese Qing) go for Independence branch, British go Decolonisation, Yugoslavia balkanise itself.
TGP Gamer 8 Jun, 2021 @ 6:32pm 
When you do Turkey, I found that in the vanilla game if you set the A.I. to restore The Ottoman Empire, it never does cause it doesn't invite the Ottoman loyalists back, so maybe fix that, also, I hope your doing ok.
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 8 Jun, 2021 @ 5:36pm 
Ok, I'm getting back into it. I'll try to fix the bugs. Keep reporting them in my google doc it makes it much simpler for me
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 19 May, 2021 @ 9:02pm 
im fine, just taking a break. School n shit. Ill fix the numerous bugs in June and move onto BftB after that. Dissecting HOI4 through modding shows how fundamentally broken a lot of it is which is disheartening to say the least but I'll keep trying to make it better
donald.grape 12 May, 2021 @ 12:58pm 
How are you doing? Everything okay?
Xiphos 2 Apr, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
Some Neutral countries turn communist when running a default game.
or when I run a game with a small change not focussed on the chinese warlords, the chinese warlords were mainly the ones turning communist while having them on default. Saw this first happen with Shanxi.

Besides that, great mod!
Товарищ Сталин 1 Apr, 2021 @ 8:06am 
Because Beautiful States own their rules.
Covini414 31 Mar, 2021 @ 9:37am 
hey its not really a bug but your mod is incompatible with beuatiful states reborn, any clue why?
bosco8179 26 Mar, 2021 @ 8:05pm 
would you make fan fork for tno custom country path mod?
Товарищ Сталин 19 Feb, 2021 @ 10:23pm 
I think there need the two paths for Yugoslavia: Accept the Demands, Refuse the Demands.
Товарищ Сталин 19 Feb, 2021 @ 10:21pm 
Hello, I found a bug.
When Yugoslavia joins the Tripartite pact, she accepts Britain demands and open focus "End the Regency".
donald.grape 14 Feb, 2021 @ 3:53am 
Don't know what's happening, but some neutral countries keep turning to communism.
donald.grape 14 Feb, 2021 @ 3:11am 
Oh, I found one bug, but I think it's a vanilla one. USA employs the Mobile Warfare expert instead of the Superior Firepower expert. (SF is the default US doctrine).
donald.grape 14 Feb, 2021 @ 2:58am 
Did you add new paths for Yugoslavia, Romania and USA? Because all I see is the old ones...
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 13 Feb, 2021 @ 7:20pm 
also added buffs for every nation with focus trees
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 13 Feb, 2021 @ 6:46pm 
UPDATE IS OUT! I completed manchukuo and USA, and redid Romania and Yugoslavia. There is an annoying bug where I cant view the steam version only my local version so i dont even know if it uploaded right lol. As always let me know about any bugs.
donald.grape 1 Feb, 2021 @ 9:12pm 
Oh right, Yugoslavia got a huge change in their focus tree. Also, Romania got a minor change, but you should change that too in case the AI goes crazy. They moved Michael's coup AFTER going fascist, so you cannot do the coup whenever you want now.
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 1 Feb, 2021 @ 7:39pm 
Ive been delayed cus I started from scratch with yugoslavia. They have a lot of paths now so I gave them three game rules instead of 1; one for each layer of their political tree. I think It'll be really good.
donald.grape 31 Jan, 2021 @ 3:59pm 
Hm... maybe an option could be not to go down the democratic path? The middle branch of the left-most tree.
Also, their "alternate" path needs change. You should program it so they go to "Subjugate the Warlords" ASAP without wasting time on crap, so if a Warlord says so, they can annex them before Japan declares war.
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 31 Jan, 2021 @ 2:00pm 
also does anyone think Nationalist China needs any other paths. Their tree is shit and only has two paths which are already in the vanilla paths
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 31 Jan, 2021 @ 1:59pm 
yes
donald.grape 30 Jan, 2021 @ 4:43am 
I have a request. Could you add a path to Britain to form the Imperial Federation?
donald.grape 13 Jan, 2021 @ 8:40am 
Ok.
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 13 Jan, 2021 @ 8:35am 
Ill be releasing the ones I never finished from the previous stuff (manchukuo, China, US) first, then I'll do those others after
donald.grape 12 Jan, 2021 @ 11:33pm 
Do you mean you're working on all of the countries that are left including the three from the Bosporus DLC?
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 12 Jan, 2021 @ 7:15pm 
releasing
Joshuia.Dufree  [author] 12 Jan, 2021 @ 7:15pm 
working on it now. Ill be r mleasing multiple countries at a time now. I'm also going to a make a google forms thing to find and fix the numerous bugs.
donald.grape 12 Jan, 2021 @ 12:45pm 
So... how's the progress?
Rice 13 Dec, 2020 @ 6:53am 
Love the mod but the there is a bug where it deletes basic tank designer and political advisors from most countries
