National focuses
Since the next major update should include national focuses for each nation I'm starting this thread for some feedback and suggestions.

While I already have a draft made up even before HOI4 was released (I've been brainstorming on this project for quite a while now) a some ideas and suggestions may be welcome since a little inspiration would be welcome.

A little example on how for example I would like to let APR.
Since APR is relatively unindustrialized it should flavour in the direction into conventional infantry or guerillia (Jungle/desert combat bonus) land-combat.

It's navy should also mostly reflect this in the way of choices between the more defensive fleet-in-being or offensive trade interdiction doctrines.

Industry is mostly a choice between increasing existing centers that are somewhat more vulnerable or expaning into less vulnerable areas but with less efficiency.

Airpower should mostly be focused on TAC's, heavy fighters and regular fighters.

I am no expert by any means, But I think the Communsit Countrys should have more National Focuses like the Soviet Union in HOI4, Like of Example, The 5 year Plan = You get 5 new Civil Factorys, 5 Miltary Factorys, and + 3 Infrosruser.

The Facsits Countrys, Could have more of a unice feeling to tham, Of Exmple, The Confadersy should have a slitey better Army, but is infearyer to the USA Army. The Republic of India Should have more of an industreal Focuses. The Russian Empire Should be more disunited, and the Focuses could be more of an Athortern. Indo-China, Should be less devalped and the Focuses are on becoming Devalped. Same of the Ottioman Empire. Prussia, should be more Army Focused.

The Democrsy Countrys should be more Consvate in the Focuses.

But, again I am no expert at this, so do as you many.

Out of curiosity, are you planning on having completely unique focus trees for each country, or will there be significant generic portions? I've been doing some brainstorming about what kinds of foci would be interesting and it seems to me that, considering the nature of the scenario, what with the lack of historical inspiration and uniform strength/resources, it would be quite difficult to come up with good, reasonably sized, different focus trees for each power.

I currently am working on the APR national focus tree and I plan it to be 1/3rd to 2/3rd unique for each each nation.
The way I try to make them unique is mostly on focusing on how they wage their war and where their priorities are.
I am now currently testing the APR Focusses to see if they actually work as intended (especially regarding to government changes).
Once I'm convinced they work as intended and is somewhat balanced I may ask some people to test them.

are you planning on adding flavour elements like unit names, leader portraits (where available) and names? I've done so on my own already in a separate mod but I was wondering if you were planning on adding it yourself.

Unit names, I'll take a look into that.
Leader portraits is one of the next things I'll be working on, it just somehow refused to work when I first made the mod.

Yeah, i've tried adding them in my custom version but they've just never showed up. Making the general and unit names is straightforward enough if you just copy and paste the names from vanilla (German for UPR, French for UBO etc) and political parties are as easy as editing the files in the localisation folder. I tried to get flags to work, too, but couldn't get them the right file size. I haven't tried getting model names and icons yet but maybe i will in the near future.
Great work on the mod, hope you stick with it!

If this mod is still alive I wish to help the development tbh

Its technically alive, but more in a maintenance sense (fixing bugs and keeping it up-to-date with HO4 releases and doing some minor additions).
I fear things may stay this way for the time being;
