6:22 If the Republicans take and hold Zaragoza for a while, The Nationalists can't do the "Secure the North" focus, if they cant do it in time the Carlists will rise up
you can actually get the secure focuses in historical depending on how the ai does their elections, I've seen the Belgians turn to fascism in like the 50s because they got so much support, and then the UK invaded
If the nationalists don’t own one of the cities in western Salamanca they can’t do the focus to clear the north which gives them enough time to prevent the Carlist split. Thats why carlist spain
kinda weird how when the AI has control of Britain its always waging a campaign on a shoestring but when the player actually wants to give the British experience a try, it is honestly pretty easy. given how overstretched the Royal Navy and Army were throughout the entire war, I think it is far too easy to overcome those starting deficits and sit on an economy that the German's can't hope to match from relatively early on, killing most of the fun to be with needing to pick and choose your battles carefully. funny thing is that, even compared to the US, the UK is in one of the best positions from the start of the game to really throw your weight around and tip the scales in your favor from the start, but it is also one of the least interesting countries in game too...
the fact that the UK has no colonial expansion focusses is criminal how did paradox not add a few focusses to get claims on china, japan, dutch east indies, middle east etc.
Historical UK is pretty fun IMO, but that's mostly just because you have a big navy and you can go whenever you please while also not being so ridiculously overpowered that the game feels won at the start unlike the US.
Before man the guns i think i remember you were able to boost other ideologies (like fascist as democratic uk) in other nations from a focus using the old system before la resistance making the wargoals easier to access.
Idea to fix British Decolonization: Drastically reduce the number of tags you spit out. Instead of all the modern day countries, just have ~4 new Dominions from Britain's colonies (Caribbean, West Africa, East-Central Africa, Egypt-Arabia) and in terms of the LARP they could be the transitional authorities preparing the colonies for full independence. Maybe give them no cores and a special spirit like Italian East Africa and the new Reichskommissariats.
