Hearts of Iron IV

BlackICE Historical Immersion Mod
suggested tweaks
not sure if this great mod will continue to be supported but here are a few suggestions if that is the case
1- only faction leader can invite other countries to factions, and only faction leader can invite members to war
2- designating areas of operation for faction members by leader/player needs to be HEAVILY refined- "europe" is too vague, and every time I play as germany, italy seems to prefer having literally their entire fleet active in the english channel/western europe littoral zones, with literally nothing in the med
3- focus trees need to be looked at, using germany as an example, anti-comintern pact should be triggered by date, and cost pp to initiate it , guderian's writing of achtung panzer should also be triggered by date, and cost army xp to initiate/exploit, things of that nature - it is nearly impossible to play historically - which is what this mod is supposed to be about - without at least two or three things in the focus trees being either late, or simply not happening at all
4- norway....don't even get me started.........what a joke, same with finland - a lot more needs to be done here when they are controlled by the ai to keep them in line with actual historical events, and the usa instantly getting control of greenland or whatever from denmark is just plain silly, same with the resulting iceland puppet being at war by default - puppets not called in wars should be treated as neutrals and not instantly at war with whatever enemies their controller has - if they have not been invited to join, they should not be at war which seems to be default, perhaps I am wrong but this is just a pain in the ass for players, so much so that I dont even bother with puppets, or invite other nations to factions as currently they are just straight up not worth the nonsense
5- focus trees in general, again using germany as an example, way too much in there that should be placed elsewhere/facilitated differently - why have options for spanish civil war in both the focus tree AND the events tab? - clean that up - aligning romania/hungary - triggered by date, costs pp or civs/mils whatever, and opens up options regarding development aid - in short focus trees should only contain things that are focused on THE NATION - civs/mils/infrastructure etc etc. - anything that has an effect outside the cores/potential cores should be implemented in another fashion
