Description

This expansion for Hearts of Iron IV adds dedicated national focus trees to the minor powers around the Black Sea and the Aegean. Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey can each chart unique historical and alternate history paths as they resist efforts by the major powers to dominate the strategic sealanes of the Bosporus and Dardanelles.

Features:

  • National Focus Tree for Bulgaria: Balance the factions in a divided land or reclaim territory lost in 1919. Follow the historical alliance with Germany or resist the German pressures on Tsar Boris, standing up for a free Bulgaria.
  • National Focus Tree for Greece: Riven by political division, Greek neutrality is maintained by the controversial Metaxas. Build a strong relationship with the Allies under the guidance of King George II, follow arch-conservatives into fascism or restore the glories of Greek Empire in the east.
  • National Focus Tree for Turkey: Robbed of its empire in the last war, what future is there for Turkey in a new one? Continue or halt the reforms of Kemalism, stand as the protector of the Balkans in a new regional faction, restore the Sultan to the throne or found a new Islamic state.
  • New Music Tracks
  • New 3D Unit Models for Balkan and Turkish Armies
  • Unique voiceovers for Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey

  1. A lot of content with poor explanations

    On the one hand, the three countries are given a great deal of unique mechanics dealing with there specific situation. But one the other hand I feel that it goes to far. I had to spend way to much time on the internet trying to figure out what the country specific mechanics do and how to properly use them. Their in game explanation is poor. Then everything I learned only applies to playing as one specific country. As the mechanics are only loosely related.

    I would like to not have to do trail runs or extensive web searching before playing as one of these countries. So I can make strategic decisions without being surprised by focus trees that do the opposite of what I thought.

  2. Okay expansion

    Don't feel like it added enough to justify it, but I am addicted to paradox games.
