Repeated intro
Hello there, Aveebee here to introduce this week's chunky Dev Diary covering a variety of topics. We’ll be covering everything free going into the upcoming patch that will release alongside Trial of Allegiance, an overview of some major map changes in South America, as well as some content pack specific updates. So without further ado, let’s get started!
What changed
- Maps
- Gameplay
First up, we have Jonathan!
Bolivar Patch
Hello again everyone, now it’s time for me to show you guys some of the things for this bag of treats that I have been working on for the patch coming alongside the Country Pack Trial of Allegiance!
The Peru-Ecuador Conflict
First up in terms of what I have contributed to this bag of treats is the Peruvian-Ecuadorian war of 1941. Now, Ecuador starts with ownership and a core on Pastaza, and Peru will have to take it through war, with the option of a scripted peace if they manage to take it. Ecuador can however also secure themselves a scripted peace from this ordeal, as long as they take Loreto, which means a skilled Ecuador player can even gain territory from the conflict.
New Formable Nations
But wait, there’s more! Now onto new formable nations (that aren’t for the main countries getting a focus tree in the DLC) that are included in the patch. And for this part I’m especially looking at you Hovelax;).
The First on up is the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, formable in-game by either Peru or Bolivia.
The next one is the United Guianas, formable by either Suriname, Guyana or Cayenne.
And finally for new free formable nations coming in this patch, we have Hispaniola, formable by either Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
New Releasable Nations
Now then, we’ve arrived to the non formable, but instead releasable nations added alongside this patch, or at least the ones that I’ve implemented.
First up on the list we have Quebec.
After that comes Yucatan.
Then comes another historical Mexican breakaway state, the Republic of the Rio Grande.
And finally we have a new island nation, which you might have seen briefly in last week's Chile Dev Diary. That nation is Rapa Nui, most often known as Easter Island.
Canada War Effort
And now, merged into this patch is a Canadian War Effort, updating and adding a small extra amount of content for our home and native land, Canada.
To start off with, Canada has a new industrial concern available to them, that being the Canadian Pacific Railway.
And after that comes the fact that the Canadian country leaders now start with their own unique traits.
And there are also three new focuses available to Canada, this time with more focus on the democratic branches.
The first two each give a National Spirit;
And then this focus allows you to gain Newfoundland and Labrador despite staying with the Allies, or even when going independent democracy.
A few of the old focuses have also been touched up, so I will show some. Not all of them are here, so you will have to find some differences on your own once the patch releases ;)
This focus now takes 35 days.
Taking this focus when having Mackenzie King as your country leader also gives him an extra trait.
And this focus now gives you two civilian factories.
Oh and what’s
