    I'm surprised ISP didn't show the best part of the vichy focus tree. The part where Germany refuses you, you decide to go against them because of that and invites free france in. That results in your being annexed by free france and being kicked out of the game because you got annexed.... You don't get to play as free france......

It is a lack of respect that coming from Paradox Italy does not have "Bring the Roman Empire back", thus conquering all the lands that belonged to them. Or in Russia bring the Tsars back.

    The cool thing about Democratic Germany. Is that there is actually kind of a story with it. The buildup to war with the Soviets is cool and I only wish we got a more in-depth democratic tree. See the Military buildup of the Soviets is cool. But feels lacking when Germany gets no build-up and no events happen for Germany.

      It has foundations in reality. When the First World War ended, the exiled Emperor of Germany Wilhelm II hoped to return to power. He saw another chance when the Weimar Republic was coming to it's end, a dream Hitler finally buried for real. The Emperor was no fan of Hitler, he saw his good people as exploited victims under Hitler's rule. It's interesting and also sad, Germany could have had such a better alternative timeline with the royal blood restored. But certain globalist influences and nationalists both had no interest in that.

      To be honest that's most games for you. Vanilla most games always end up being a little shallow and the modders get more indepth with it - Which is kind of a hassle, too. There is no game on PC that isn't better modded, so not wanting to setup mods you always feel like you play an inferior product.

      Because professionals work for money with not so flexible release dates to show products and have to start from zero (coding when not creating the engine, scripting, etc) so their dedication to most of these features end up becoming pretty secondary. The question is pretty stupid.

It's like when they built these focus trees, they never once stopped to consider that the AI had access to them, not just players.
