That sounds good. Send me a message of what kind of changes/updates you are proposing.
aaaaaaaaa 14 Mar, 2021 @ 5:52am 
I mean, I'd be happy to assist with anything relating to the actual history of this period, clearing up historical misconceptions and/or writing descriptions for focuses if that means a good, popular and updated Latvia redux mod which makes the country more fun to play.

Thank you for the suggestions and feedback. I don't have much time to update the mod this month as it takes a while to make/change the mod, but if you have more feedback please let me know and one day soon I'll do one big update.

The advocates for a united duchy were mostly Baltic Germans and they died down after ~1922, if I'm not mistaken. The idea for a federation, however, persisted far longer, though, despite repeated attempts by the Latvian foreign minister, it never materialized (neither did the antante). This was mostly due to messy foreign relations between the three nations and Poland. Though I do fail to see how anything more than a unified faction between the nations would be possible under Ulmanis, Pats and Smetona. I think a path that, rather than unifying the Baltics under Ulmanis, forced them to all join a faction with added defense on core territory bonuses would be the more realistic way to go. The core defense bonuses and manpower being the main tradeoff between the Ulmanis path and the Thundercross/LKP paths. I could see a possible attempt at unifying the Baltics by either the Thundercross or LKP, as both groups held similar views in terms of foreign policy with Estonia and Lithuania.

The idea was for the focus tree to turn the Baltic Entente into one unified state under one government for stability. There were a few politicians in the 20's that wanted to do this. The name for the state is generated by the game depending on what government you have at the time (i.e. Democracy version would be Baltic Federation).

I admit I wanted to make another path in this tree to make each Baltic state stronger and work together whilst each remaining independent - but that means I would have to edit Estonia and Lithuania as well which could affect some mods.

Unless you want one tree which is for Latvia on its own... would you like this?

To be honest, I survived against the USSR without any allies just fine for a pretty long while. Personally, I don't know why the Ulmanis path would lead to a United Baltic Duchy: it's fun, but not very realistic. Also, in draft plans for a possible war against the USSR, Latvia could mobilize ~300k men (if I remember correctly), though not equip most of them. Overall the mod is just a bit of good fun with some limited historical accuracy mixed in and it is enjoyable.

As I mentioned in the description the purpose of the mod is to make the experience of playing Latvia more interesting without taking away from the core experience or difficulty of the game.

The focus tree allows you to get cores on nearby provinces, and the combat bonuses mostly apply to core territory.

There are a few manpower focuses you could consider a bit "overpowered" but not when you consider your core population is only about 6-10m, and it will take years to get mobilised.

At most you can get about +10% recruitment bonus by 1940, but there are historical reasons for this. In Latvia 200,000 men were drafted in German and Soviet armies, which was about 10% of all Latvians; not to mention those men that were imprisoned or died elsewhere that could have been available to fight, and one of these focuses is for recruiting women, who also fought.

If you want to survive 1939 on normal difficulty you will still have to ally with Axis, Comintern or the Allies.

I wouldn't really call this mod ''overpowered'', if anything all it lets you do is annex the other two Baltic countries and have barely enough divisions/forts/core defense by the time the Soviets declare on you to withstand them. There's still the issue of manpower (even with the combined manpower pool of ~6mil). It's a bit of an unrealistic powertrip in a sense, but not really the traditional kind where you just annex the entire world through focuses and OP divisions/bonuses.

Let me guess, this is incredibly overpowered?
Putinegão, Imperador de Angola 9 Mar, 2021 @ 10:51am 
make a version only adding the "light tank division template and unit" and the "14 new commanders and 1 admiral with custom portraits" and realistic starting technologies, cuz i use rt56 and focus trees dont work, neither i want new focus tree.

Tiešām labs mods, vienīgais esmu pieradis pie Reworked Latvia moda, ir šis tas, kas pietrūkst no tā. Apvienotu šo un Reworked Latvia tas jau būtu kaut kas tiešām satriecošs. Bet pats par sevi, ļoti labs mods, esmu sajūsmā!

Izņemot tikai papildu fokusu pievienošanu, šis mod ir pārsteidzošs!
