If I don't see the Italy tree in S tier I'm going to turn the Geneva convention into a bucket list

The reason the 'Canadian Pacific Railway' focus takes 70 days only to add level 1 railways is actually an accurate depiction of how slow our government operates! Such detail Paradox!

I swear I've gaslit myself into thinking iSorrow was once sponsored by Ironside

[snoopie]

I swear every time I see an ISP video I'm always expecting the Ironside hammer strike even tho it's been nearly two years since the last one

You’re digging your own grave, now whenever hoi4 gets a new focus tree DLC, the little timmies will say “Tier liSt PaRt TwO wHeN”

[Kudryavka_Noumi]

This reinforces that they REALLY need to go back and update some of the older trees from TFV and DoD to get the up to date with modern ones.

I wish for the German Democratic Tree to get reworked, Deals with Poland to buy Danzig and Westprussia, giving the Poles Industry, European Stratagems with your Neighbors, Arms Deals to America or other Democracies, maybe even a Bundestag in which you need to root out the Brownshirts... There's a lot of Potential

I would have to disagree over Spain, it looks big but right off the bat half of it is shaved off, then you pick one of the remaining three paths and other than the communist path it’s very fun to build up and do some shenanigans with a good medium sized tree, there is a lot of missed potential and stuff that doesn’t work right (like anarchist revolutions) but definitely a B or even A tier for me

[ALewdCard]

Honestly pre-bftb turkey is one of my favorite minors to play as in hoi4. Post bftb... paradox please make a bunch of those focuses 14/35 days. It doesn't fix the main problem with turkey's new tree but at least it's a simple start.

The Mexican focus tree is super op because you can keep central America as puppets and allow them to go through their industry trees and annex then for like 50 pp while getting them as cores, very powerful, sadly doesn't work for the Caribbean

Daily petition for ISP to eat beans at 3:47 am

[horstschlemmer]

Just so you know ISP. When you play Yugoslavia and do the release and reform path, you get cores on all you puppets in the Balkans! So if you have Bulgaria as a puppet for example you get cores on them after integrating them for free. And the game is very generous as to what it calls the balkans.

Really expected a A-tier on Poland with how positive he was on it

[JustinianRomanov]

This certainly is the HOI4 Focus Tree Tier List ever made

[blazikem]

As the UK it's actually really easy to keep the dominions; you need to take the focus that'll give you decisions for having troops in your dominions to pacify them but you'll only have a short window to do it, I think I managed to get them all secured so it is possible to basically not be penalised at all.

[marx]

The only change I would make is to move Poland to S tier. I think their tree is just that good. NSB was amazing.

[brendan]

Still trying to decide if one hour of isorrowproductions is a blessing or a curse

[Astro-strategist]

As a Czech I must 100% agree, our focus tree isnt that great, but that the fun level is pretty good.
But I must say I enjoy the Greece economical tree.

[Kilroy]

When playing monarchist Germany, switch to extensive conscription during the Civil War, and there is a focus that gives you war economy. Or, you can switch that also during the Civil War, and go down the focus that puppets Romania/Hungary.

[DerFreiegedanke]

Ok so i played Greece with the Byzantium tree and its fun. You get cores on whole Turkey and you get "mission goals" later down the line. The hole military tree add national ideas and buffs the nation to a level where it can compete i think the Greece tree is more of a fun one because it gives you more then just temporary or boring Tech boosts.
