South Africa Reworked Again

Description
This is updated version of South Africa Reworked mod by Sarge.

It has all the functions of original mod rebuilt for the last version of Hearts of Iron IV. So it has ‘characters’ instead of leaders, advisors, generals etc.

To use it you need ‘Together for Victory’ DLC. To make it quicker and more comfortable I used as more vanilla parts as possible. Should work with most other mods just fine, except tweaking South Africa.

I’ve added Russian localization for the mod (would love to add more languages but need help). There’re some plans to create more states and victory points to make South Africa a more interesting nation to play.

Overview

The TFV South Africa is totally updated, expanded and reworked. It has completely new focus tree, more paths, more options, better historical accuracy and better alt-history paths.

Main Features

– Expanded and tweaked focus tree:
a) More accurate historical path, with a few more focuses related to SA in the war. And Smuts will now take over just before the war.
b) Alternate Smuts path: take over sooner and better prepare the country for the war.
c) A full non-aligned path with DF Malan's National Party, or go full fascist and have Oswald Pirow lead. Both paths can join the Axis or form other alliances (done through decisions).
d) An expanded communist path, either done through a new civil war or the old referendum route. Join Uncle Joe or help India gain independence and form an alliance with them. Both routes can do colonial crusade path now.
e) A new democratic ANC route, go through some reforms and start liberating some African colonies, all while helping the Allies.
There are quite a few more focuses now. Some have been changed to 35 day focuses to keep timing and balance in mind, but you'll still have to make some tough choices about what you need most right now and what you can get later.

– New advisors, theorists, chiefs, designers.

– More generals and admirals.

– More national spirits.

– New decisions added: build up your new African territories, integrate Bechuanaland and Rhodesia, purchase planes from the UK (if you're in the Allies), build a modern surface fleet, and more.

– A few more events relating to some of your choices.

– More flags and cosmetic tags.

– English and Russian localizations.

A Couple Notes

– South Africa is no longer blocked from becoming independent if you go the Allies route. You can now buy your freedom with the normal 300 PP.

– You can comfortably get India free with the commie route before Adolf starts the party in Europe. It uses decisions and a civil war to do it.

– Both ANC and commie routes will now remove segregation in one shot while doing other focuses along their paths. No more having to go through the old focuses.

– Check your advisor's conditions before appointing them, many of them are blocked if you go a certain path. So no DF Malan if you go ANC, for example. There's enough advisors for all paths.

– The fascist civil war has been made quite a bit easier, you'll get more units now.

– The commie civil war is also pretty easy. Shouldn't take more than a few months to win.

– AI strategy files have been addded so if you run this mod in the background the AI will follow its path, depending on whether you selected historical or not.

Advisors don't appear for me, i also noticed a bunch of errors for military advisors in the log regarding their IDs

Sorry to be a bother; but think new update has broken some of the focuses

@CantCancelKanye

Mr @Sarge is author of the original mod, I think you should ask him

You may have misinterpreted what I meant. Do you give permission for me to incorporate your South Africa tree into my mod which is Scuffed 56?

Just tried it out running R56, it appears to work provided you set the game rules to the default SA focus tree, and not the R56 one.

Hi, am I able to incorporate this mod into Scuffed 56/Road To 56?

Love this mod, but please add in an unique potrait for Pirrow, because currrently it is an African generic potrait

Hey dude! First I want to congratulate you for keeping this mod afloat. It´s really what I'd expect from a rework. I wanna tell you I've noticed the MIO's don't work with the current build of the mod, I don't know if you can do anything about it. Thanks!
