Ireland extended

This is a modification for Ireland that is designed to add more liveliness to Irish play without having a significant impact on the game's balance.

Ireland's Own Focus Tree.

Ireland has added a unique focus tree. The tree is divided into three parts. The economic tree on the left focuses on improving national resources; the war tree on the right focuses on improving military production, defense readiness, and providing troop bonuses; and the political tree. This tree focuses on both domestic and foreign policy.

The political tree has three main options:

To side with Fine Gael to restore relations with the Federation and join the cause of the allies.

Side with Fianna Fáil to create the Irish Republic, and then choose which side to join or not to join the fighting.

Respect the legacy of the revolution and support the fascist or communist occupation of Ireland by joining the Axis or the Comintern, respectively.

Stronger starting position

It increased the size of the Irish Home Guard from one to five divisions to secure an advantage.

Providing Ireland with smaller naval and air forces, which would allow it to engage with other armies from the outset (even if these changes are not strictly historical).

Despite these changes, in addition to the bonuses from the magic tree, do not expect Ireland to become a major power.

A richer historical flavor

Since the period Hoy 4 covers an important part of Irish history - the foundation of the modern Irish Republic - fashion adds a twist to the original position and experience of Ireland in this period.

End the Anglo-Irish trade war of 1932-38. Don’t forget to decide on a coal and livestock agreement and a law confirming the agreement as soon as possible to revitalize the industry.

Work with Fianna Fáil on a new constitution and find another way to come out of Britain’s shadows, or work with Britain alongside Fine Gael, or renew your feud with the Enterprise Party or the Communist Party.

Deal with the legacy of the 1921-1922 civil war and the subsequent secession of the Irish Republican Army from the National Army, carefully managing the relationship between the state and irregular forces, supporting or opposing them (and dealing with the consequences) at will.

The events of the IRA's military operations against the British (until they were integrated into the Irish National Army) led to the S-Plan and the Northern Campaign.

Northern Ireland is becoming more disorganized - instead of being the nucleus of Britain and Ireland during the Games, it could become a source of resistance. Britain would lose its main territory at the beginning of the Northern Campaign and be forced to create dependency or deploy troops to defeat the IRA and regain its main territory. Likewise, if Ireland gains control of the North, Protestant and unionist rebels challenge Irish rule, temporarily dismantle the Irish core, and demand either renewed subordination or troops.
