Tech & National Focus Suggestions
Please use this thread to make any suggestions for new technologies or national focus. To summarize where I'm going with them:

Technologies

- Most likely be continueing on from Millenium Dawn's tree into the late 2020's and 2030's.
- Many relating to new unit types that are designed to fight in the nuclear winter without suffering the constant attrition hits. Eg. Power Armor troops and Hazmat special forces.
- New buildings will be unlocked that will eventually help to stabilize the declining population and eventually ward off the nuclear winter.

Nation Focus Trees

- UEF to be focusing on holding their vast territories together. Probably a system similar to the vanilla Soviet Great Purge, in which if you fail to enact certain NF by a specific date, there is a chance for a portion of your nation to break away.
- Hegemony to focus on their eternal quest for genetic perfection. Think a dystopian combination of the HL2 Combine (hence the Consul), the Endless Space Horatio and the good ol' Nazis. This will of course have rammifications that can lead to their own nation collapsing and possibly their cloning system fails and produces something pretty horrifying.
- New nations (see thread) will of course require their own NF relating to that nation's flavour.

Sheild teck would be awsome! Also titanfall like units that are more like super fast tanks? Flamethrower Special forces would be cool!

What about viruses and chemical warfare? Robot armies!

So the robots and the big mecks could fall under a new tab labelled "robotics"
Special forces would be special forces.
Shields would be industry

Also if you could make genetics an actual technology tree that would be awsome! You could have super expensive upgrades like "night vision" "chamelean skin" "rino skin" things like that!

Love this mod already!

Maybe for the Hegemony's cloning program, set it so that once one of the focuses is completed, it starts an invisible countdown. The player must hurry down the tree, which will require completing various technologies, events, and focuses, before the countdown reaches 0.

If the player fails, the program becomes unstable, and results in the rise of unspeakable horrors from their own labs. Depending on which focuses and technologies were completed, the abominations may either self-destruct, go on a rampage, become a roving horde (with their own "nation" and focus tree, detailing their evolution/break down), be a monstrous army under the Hegemony's control, or become a race of sentient mutants that forms its own society, with the potential to either form their own passive state bent on survival, devote themselves to the annihilation of their abusive creators, or decide that mankind's time has passed, and look to the extermination of the human race.

Their military units could be tanks with no manpower requirement, disguised with new icons. This would allow them to create an army, while still reducing the local manpower to 0 in order to fit with their potential genocide campaign.

Just a very small suggestion for the Hegemony:
In the Mof Berlin is in ruins due to the nuclear strike on the 13th Army
and the city is litteraly called Berlin Ruins, so maybe the hegemony could have a focus
to rebuild Berlin or to build something truly horrofying on the ruins of Berlin

How about you make a land reclamation Focus Tree, when finished you gain population growth.

how about you add an option in the national focuses that will give both nations the option for a non-aggresion pact with eachother, and depending on what country you are it could change the laws so that for the democratics they focus on restoring society more while for the cloning guys (forgot the name lol) they could use that as anoppertunity to work on their army.

Suggestion: Merge lots of states into their own bigger states, and decrease their level to like rural or something
suggestion two: remove 75% of the population of earth - you can easily get 60 million conscripted which is odd in an apoclyptic setting
suggestion three: give massive maluses to construction and science
suggestion four: get rid of the science building and the hospital. they're overpowered.
suggestion five: decrease the size of all cities

i know it maybe a huge of an ask, but that's what i would do if i was good at modding

New Faction known as the Revolution. Fights against the corrupt UEF to retake and liberate lands so that they may rebuild their society and end the eternal war. Use tech tree for Germans. Faction starts in many different regions with much in Germany/Europe and some other areas, safe for the U.S.

Revamp of tech tree to include more nuclear technology and some rebuilding focuses.

Part of the focus tree to rebuild the world? You could restore the industrial capacity of the world and bring (after going through most of the focus tree) the world population to pre-nuclear war levels. I would also suggest a focus tree path for getting rid of anarchy and nuclear war. Keep two nations at the start but I would suggest adding in events through the focus tree for new break away nations which will be in comflict with both fractions. Also techonology for genetic purfication would be nice, I would also suggest adding in new laws and political figures into the political panel.

I have an inkling of a suggestion for split off states.
Due to the Hegemony's pursuit for genetic purification, the two major cultural spheres start to clash. If the Hegemony does/doesn't go down a certain idea tree, we see a repeat of the Sino-Soviet split?

By the way, I have some modding experience with EU4. Do you need any help?

New units would be awesome: cyborgs and psionics mainly. Also it's obvious that Hegemony needs super-soldier unit (with them being genetics buffs), it can be done thru focus.
