Add focuses for Britain and others to send volunteers to aid other countries fighting for freedom and maybe for creating alliance of free people or something

add Rudolf Hess as an easter egg path for liberating Europe through National Socialism, he's in the book right?

France and Poland as leading countries in revolution against Eurasian Union. (lore Explanation: Both countries are homes of revolutions. Poland has a strong catholic identity. Karol Wojtyla as a leader obviously)

Polish paths which would be really cool to my previous commen:
Path Title: "The Shepherd of Freedom"

Starting Leader:

Karol Wojtyła (Archbishop of Kraków — becomes the spiritual-political leader of Free Poland)

Subpaths (after victory over Eurasian occupiers):
1. The Holy Republic

(Democratic-Christian path)
Wojtyła forms a Christian Democracy — not a theocracy, but a democracy rooted in Christian moral values.

Key Focuses:

"Declaration of National Faith" — Poland will be free, moral, and just.

"The Sejm of the People" — Restore democracy under protection of Christian values.

"The Covenant of Nations" — Form a Christian Democratic alliance across Europe.

"A Charter for All Men" — Promote universal human rights against tyranny.

2. The Sword of Saints

(Militant Christian path — if war radicalizes Wojtyła)
After brutal suppression by Eurasia, Wojtyła calls for an armed crusade against tyranny. Poland becomes a militant, crusading state.

Key Focuses:

"The Call to the Holy Sword" — Mass mobilization of faithful warriors.

"Operation Michael the Archangel" — Launch holy uprisings in Belarus, Ukraine.

"The League of Christian Nations" — Form a military alliance to "cleanse" Eurasia.

"For God and Liberty!" — Total war to reclaim Christian lands.

Key Events Along the Path:

"The Lenten Uprising" — Secret Masses lead to public protests, which grow into armed rebellion.

"The Miracle at Częstochowa" — Legend of a divine sign (e.g., Eurasian troops retreat after a Marian shrine is protected).

"The Martyrs of Warsaw" — Massacre by Eurasian forces leads to even greater uprising.

"The Kraków Proclamation" — Wojtyła issues a sermon declaring Poland free in the name of Christ and humanity.

"The Easter Liberation" — Polish forces capture Warsaw in a major symbolic victory on Easter Sunday.

"The Cross Above Europe" — After liberating Poland, Wojtyła calls for Christian solidarity across the continent. Would be a cool superevent

Gameplay Flavor which woul be cool:


National focuses grant bonuses like "Mass Resistance," "Divine Morale," "Pilgrimage Networks" (for communication).

The longer Wojtyła stays alive and preaching, the stronger Poland’s national spirit becomes.

For france .. More paths/... casue i think those one really capture revolutionary spirit:
1. The Republican Revival (Moderate Democratic Path)

Idea:
A resistance movement led by idealistic politicians, intellectuals, and former soldiers seeking to restore the French Republic in its classical form — liberty, equality, fraternity.

Focuses:

"The Second Paris Commune"

"Liberté ou la Mort" — Call for national resistance.

"The Fourth Republic Reborn" — Form a democratic government. Supevent

"Hearts of Europe" — Appeal for solidarity movements in Spain, Italy, Germany.
2. Neo-Jacobin Revolution (Radical Leftist Path)

Idea:
Inspired by Robespierre and revolutionary zeal, far-left radicals launch a new Jacobin-style uprising against Eurasian tyranny.

Focuses:

"The Committee of Public Safety" — Revolutionary emergency council.

"Purge the Collaborators" — Ruthless removal of Eurasian sympathizers.


"Export the Revolution" — Spread Jacobinism to neighboring countries.
3. "The Second Revolution: A Republic in the Name of Napoleon"
Leader:

Jean-Napoléon Bonaparte

Charismatic speaker.

Presents himself as heir to both 1789 and Napoleon I.

Deeply pro-republican, but loves national pride, military valor, and civil equality.

Core Political Focuses:
The Rights of Man and Soldier


The Code of Liberty

Draft a new constitution inspired by the Napoleonic Code, but with guaranteed elections, freedom of speech, freedom of religion.




Unique Decisions:

"Proclaim the Republican Bonaparte Legacy" — gain major political bonuses.

"Aid Republican Uprisings in Belgium, Italy, Spain" — extend revolutionary spirit across Europe.

"March to Berlin" — campaign to overthrow Eurasian puppet regimes and spread the Second Revolution.

Sub-Paths after Rebuilding France:
Option 1: "The Republican Protectorate"

Offer military protection and democratic governance to Belgium, the Rhineland, Catalonia, Italy.

Spread French influence through voluntary alliances.


Option 2: "The League of Free Nations"

Instead of dominance, build an anti-Eurasian European Democratic League.

France leads diplomatically, but all members are equal.

Key Bonuses:

Massive boost to trade and defense tech sharing.

Recruitment pool from allied nations.

Major Events Along the Path:

"The Return of the Tricolor" — Raise the revolutionary flag in Paris once more.

"The Rights of Soldier and Citizen" — New Napoleonic Republic Constitution ratified.

"The Third March" — Liberation of Brussels, Lyon, Milan.

"The Coronation of Liberty" — Huge Paris ceremony celebrating democracy under the Napoleonic banner. Super event

"The Declaration of a Free Europe" — Proclaim the formation of a pan-European democratic league.

Gameplay Flavor:

France feels like a heroic revolutionary power again.

You get special units like:

"Bonapartist Volunteers" (infantry with morale boosts)

"Liberty Dragoons" (fast mobile units)

"The Free Legion" (European pro-democracy soldiers)

National Spirits like:

"The Rights of Man, Enforced by Steel" (+10% infantry attack, +5% stability)

"The Second Revolution" (+15% political power gain)

"March of Free Peoples" (speed bonus for liberation wars)

It would be cool if Ethiopia had some way of supporting the rebels Southern Africa.

it would be nice if the ai could actually beat oceania.

Ai in my games usually beats Oceania' both in England and Usa

Originally posted by Nikirrok:

for the restored USA...sorry I mean the "federal continental republic' I think having the option to declare the United States with the same flag would be nice as a alt option, Furthermore instead of a focus to just declare war on the other new independent Countries like Texas or California like a imperialist an option to just make an alliance with them would be pretty awesome, I mean....It feels a bit silly overthrowing a superstate to pretty much just make another one that swallows up independent countries. but hey just me.


I also believe fully that a focus tree to make the UK pretty much a super power with global influence would be amazing and here is why, In my own time playing as the UK with a the magic of Allowdiplo command I carved myself an empire and orbit, South America was my ally Mexico was my puppet state Australia was my buddy and i carved up Africa for myself.

by 1990 there was 4 superstates and the British Empire was one of them with Big Brother only having control over North America and South India, I don't know why but it was hilarious making the UK a empire again so something for that would be cool.

I also think that having different sub paths would be interesting and provide flavor in general, For example lets say for the British I have an option to not even restore the monarchy and to declare a Republic instead, Honestly playing the Brits I was expecting a story popup where Winston and his provisional Government debated monarchy and if such a figure would even be welcomed.


I also think that for Eurasia when content for them is eventually made revolts inside Russia should be split up between Russian democratic forces and communists who want a reformed USSR and these communist rebels and Russian democrats could later fight each other for the final battle of who will rule over Russia.

what is we had an ironic ending where when the world is liberated they have the potential to go into another great conflict over ideology? the irony...

*what if we had

wanted to add my thoughts here:
first suggestion would be to finish oceania first: add more post anti-revolution content to both america and britian, the contental army should be able to reunify the usa making deals with the other american states or being able to invade them, for britian depending on if the irish revolution is lost should be able to invade airstrip two and given the option to re-establish ireland or directly annex the island (this will apply to america annexing canada wheather to annex alaska or annex the entire country at the expense of the british) british can be able to re-assert on their old colonial gains. both former powers should given the option to re-form oceania, (despite the ironic hypocrisy of destroying it).

Eurasia:
so this will be a bit more complex: instead of a full blown global revolution there should be an internal one between two leaders a conservitive and a liberal. its is common knowledge that there isnt much information on eurasia only that the soviets had taken all of mainland europe and tbh the eternal father as the leader im a bit iffey on and will be replaced with the conservitives i mentioned.

-the conservitive: the conservitive is the acting general secretary of eurasia, by now leonid had died and the one to continue as acting head of the union would at the time be yuri andrapov (whom is dying) he would be the first conservitive the liberal would face, yuri dosent do much but keep the status quo, he will be the starting leader, by late 1984 yuri will die and the central commitee will scramble to find a new general sceretary, (this will take 3 months) this would lead to konstantin cherenenko taking power in which he will recognize the liberal threat and become paranoid, he will then start purges and attempt to conslidate power for himself, then by late 1985 the anti-revolutions will start and the cherenenko's fate would be decided by the player where in which the liberal can assassinate him to cause more discourse in the commitee or to keep him around and continue his reign of terror, by 1986 chernenenko will die, ethier way the effects of chernenenkos reign of terror still effects the commitee, the commitee will then attempt another scramble for a leader, but no one is strong or competent enough to take the place of general secretary, so the commitee would then turn into an unstable provisional gov acting as more of a senate, by now the senate is a conglomerate of hardliner neo-bolsheviks depending on the player a new general secretary can be chosen, or the provisional gov can be kept

-the liberal: the liberal is the inside man type acting behind the scenes and making friends. there is only one liberal figure that will be prevalent during the struggle, that being (of course) mikhial gorbachev, he is the driving force behind the liberal movement and had survived the reformist suppressions of leonid brezhnev, at the start he will be mostly dormant until the death of yuri in which during the three month period will attempt to gather allies and influence in the government this is more so to prepare for cherenenkos reign, cherenenko will discover evidence of dissedence within the government and become paranoid, cherenenko will be a double edged sword with cherenenko arresting and executing members of the government this applies to his supporters and mikhals allies, the liberal can falsify evidence against other members of the commitee to get them persicuted by cherenenko, by 1985 the liberal is given the option to assassinate cherenenko where in which he must prepare the method of assassination, if not cherenenko will die by early 1986 and the provisional government will be established this is the promenent oportunity to gather more power, if the liberal gathers enough power he can launch a coup against the neo-bolsheviks depending on the amount of power the liberal has the coup can fail and a civil war will start along with some of the other european territories rising up to back gorbachev.

I would recommend dialling down the strength of the frontier, because Rhodesia and the Congo (forgot the name) lasted less than a week and Angola about a month. Also, when doing an election for the UK I would recommend having Winston way out which party he wishes to form a government with.

If majority:

Anti-Ingsoc Party (Liberal Democracy): Winston's thought is to make them government under his Premiership to go further away from the strong state, going through both social and market liberalism. Policies could include LGBT+ rights, market-liberation, legalisation of certain drugs, etc.

Revitalised Conservative Party (Conservative Democracy): Winston's thought is to use the traditionalist method to revitalise old values such as re-allowing Christians schools that are supported by the state, trying to control the new surge in sexual interest (due to revoke of anti-sex laws), try to install old traditional values like women being seen more in a patriarchal way, etc.

Second Labour Party (Social Democracy): Winston's thought is to use the idea of welfare and planned economy to give back to the population, mostly the 'proles' he had began to like (in the book with the singing lady). Policies could be: strong trade unions, NHS, planned/Keynesian economics, etc

If coalition (either votes lead to no majority party or Winston wishes to try and keep a lot of people's voted MPs in government to make people more satisfied with the new democracy):

Lib-Con: A coalition government that compromises, for example LGBT+ rights but the policies might be held back and other policies like state religious schools be implemented
Lib-Lab: Similar to before but perhaps compromises over economics (how much private market and how much public ownership)
Lab-Con: Similar to before but perhaps clashes on trade unions and how much should be owned by the public and how much to the aristocrats coming back from hiding.

On foreign policy I thought of three (I don't think ideology should block people from this path, but perhaps some focuses are different):

Third Empire - rebuilding the British Empire by invading the nations and/or setting up pro-British rule governments. For example, in South Africa two paths. A: Just invasion and creation of British South Africa; B: Support anti-Boer rebels in Natal, send volunteers for 'Dominion of Natal' and then once victorious send soldiers their to invade the ANC and Namibia. Creating the Union of South Africa. Perhaps different parties in power within Winston's government may affect how much autonomy and what kind of government is in charge. For example, Labour might be more sympathetic to the ANC and allow them to run in the Union (perhaps a Union of South Africa flag but replace one of the small flags with the ANC flag); Liberals might ban the ANC but allow equal rule in South Africa (might also change the flag); conservatives might be similar to the liberals or implement white minority rule (flag can either be the old union of south Africa flag or a traditional imperial flag with the union jack on the top left). Not to mention some areas are in anarchy, so the Empire could make itself look like a restoration of order. Perhaps an imperial federation with Britain at the top.

Commonwealth: The UK (and Canada if they win in North America) influence ex-British colonial nations to join the Commonwealth and install Michael I as their king, however they are not ruled by the UK. For example, they may support anti-white rule rebels in Rhodesia and once successful they could get a referendum on the monarchy and then a mini game in trying to get supporters. If successful the country join the faction of the UK and will be able to join a commonwealth federation, if not they can still join the factions and get some benefits but they will never join any kind of commonwealth federation. If a commonwealth federation is formed between Commonwealth realms, it would act similar to the imperial federation but with all members having equal representation and votes.

Liberation Alliance (only possible if half if not more oceanic regions have been defeated and replaced with new nations): The UK (or another ex-oceanic nation if the UK fails to achieve independence) forms an alliance with the goal of: achieving ex-territory against non-democratic nations, defeating Oceania Eurasia and EastAsia and figuring out border disputes between members (like the UK and Ireland; US and Canada). This path has some Commonwealth features but not a lot considering it is separate from the commonwealth.

These are just some ideas.

Need advisors. Played 13 Sectors, stayed as the government. beat everyone but Iceland. cant invade (no supremacy), no navy and no way to get experience to build one, too far for paratroopers. Unable to rejoin Oceania due to being at war. It ended my run.

i think i saw black mesa soldiers
