Add flavour events

@Cheeti, yeah ... Hoping to add some events, decisions and advisors next.

I feel like the revolutionary communist path needs a couple more foci, both trees are just straight lines.

@Bolshevik Walrus:

Regarding the political focuses, they get 2 paths (continue revolutionary struggle or oppose QI and get back into political mainstream) like most other factions. Forward Bloc (Azad Hind) gets only 1 path.

Regarding the military focuses, wanted to keep it somewhat historically proportional ... in fact, that communist focus branch is almost entirely fictional - had to cast political leaders as generals, borrow some post-independence themes (Red Corridor), and themes from the Soviet Union (Frontovik, No Retreat) and China (People's War). All other military focuses have some historical basis. In reality, once the Soviet Union entered the war on the side of the allies, there wasnt much militant opposition to the British. The only military struggle against the British by was the Azad Hind Fauj. Which is also why the Hindutva and Islamic factions dont even get any military focuses of their own.

But yes, have noted your suggestion - lemme see how best I can incorporate more options for a communist play-through.

You could make your work compatible with the mod ''Eight Years: War of Resistance''?

@Terrorist Frog, dont think it would be possible given the different ideology systems.

Would you ever consider working with the Eight Years devs to make a separate compatibility patch for the two in the future? It just seems like they would work very well together.

Hi, have a few things planned next for this mod (Pakistan, Burma trees, decisions, etc), and there is a MD submod also that I wanted to fix, so not sure if I can work on that immediately. Would be happy to let the Eight Years dev take some parts from this mod for theirs if they would like to.

Please reduce the completion time for some of the national focuses.
Having every focus take 70 days is way too long, especially for the ones that just give one research bonus or spawn a single unit.

Yeah, makes sense .. I'll adjust focus times for some of them in the next update. And thanks for the feedback.

Hey, thanks for listening to feedback, I've been playing the mod and i have another suggestion.
Instead of adding 3 new ideologies that almost no other countries use, why not use the base game ideologies to represent each path? Picking the respective focuses in the focus tree could rename the party and replace the leader of whichever ideology is closest to Hindutva (non-aligned or fascist), Nationalist (fascist, since they are supported by Japan), or Islamic (non-aligned, like the islamic countries in the middle east). I suggest this because the current system has some issues:

-Only 2 countries (India and Pakistan) can be Hindutva, Nationalist, or Islamic in game, unless you puppet another country.
-If you are one of those 3 ideologies, any puppet you create currently has no name, no flag, and no leader portrait (even Nepal and Tibet, which you can puppet through focuses).
-It is harder to support or ally a side in WW2 because neither side is your ideology.
-You can't boost party popularity or incite civil wars in other countries.
-There is currently no fascist path.

Sorry if this post is too long, good luck on the mod.

Hi Jagme64, thanks a lot for the feedback and please do keep it coming, appreciate it.

Allow me to return the favour with a long post of mine :)

I originally started out making this mod with a modified map and some 25 large princely states (out of the 500-odd that existed) as separate countries, all subjects of the UK along with the British Raj (being the parts directly administered by Britain) for some historical accuracy and for a different game-play experience of in-fighting within the subcontinent while a larger world war is going on around you (hence the name Shattered Land).

This is also why you'll see a lot of emphasis on princely states in the focus trees.

I ended up making the map but rest of the content was more than what I could manage, so scrapped that and decided to go with just a revised British Raj focus tree to start with.

Not sure if I will get to where I originally intended, but still keeping that option open.

I like the suggestion of renaming party / leader to work around having new ideologies, and the points you mentioned are all valid, let me give it some more thought.

so... i reached on the focus of BARC and asked why we cannot let gandhi dies and, instead of him as a model of leadership in india, why we can't put his renegade brother ghandi in his place... just a suggestion xD... (also loved your work since now, is already one of my favorite mod) sry for bad english too, this story of ghandi and gandhi is basically a created story that gandhi had a twin brother and he was exiled considered as weak, so he grow up as a military ideal version of gandhi and a rival too.

@Ghandi, thanks. Lol - thats a nice story.

Please reduce focus time for some national focus from 70 to like 35 like giving a single unit .Would you mind giving bonus to attack and defense on mountains for those countries?like national spirits or sth.Also add prince of terror for the himalayan nations(nepal,bhutan,tibet).Also it will be better if you would give like recruitable population boost rather than manpower for himalayan countries..Like 5% for nepal and 10% for bhutan.Also the civil factories and military factories are mutually exclusive in the focus tree which really hinders what you can do as those tiny nations.Will you please split delhi into two states (delhi and uttarakhand) giving nepal core on uttarakhand.Uttarakhand was part of nepal before the british annexed it from nepal.Also sikkim (area betwen nepal and bhutan) should be a core of nepal.I would appreciate if you would make it possible to conquer all the historical provinces of greater nepal.Thanks for listening.I hope i am not asking too much.Plus i found this is the only mod with focus tree for nepal.Every other nations have a focus tree in the workship.i really appreciate your efforts.
