All of geopolitics is a stage, and all the countries in it merely players. Many nations have their entries and exits, and one nation may play many parts in its time, sometimes a nation will be the most powerful empire on earth, with innate, opulent wealth, and sometimes its just that country next to Spain. Some call it tragedy, other call it the way of the world.

Blame Napoleon. When you destabilize a colonial empire, make no effort to keep the colonies loyal and bleed the country dry in terms of both blood and money you don't tend to leave a powerful nation behind you. Especially after Trafalgar when the Spanish could no longer project power overseas. One of the largest empires in the history of the world simply faded away in a few decades because Napoleon didn't trust Ferdinand VII

@ryuuducat Жыл бұрын

You mean the fall of love given to iberia by paradox happens so abruptly between eu4 and victoria? Because in the real world, portugal had been declining since 1580 when a succession crisis brought about the iberian union, in which spain treated it basically as another one of its colonies. When Portugal broke free in 1640, Portugal had lost some of their colonies during some of the spanish wars, and while after the union portugal was still considered a relevant power, new colonial powers, some of which took their lost colonies, overshadowed the new liberated portugal, such as tbe dutch and the english. The major blow however, was in the napoleonic wars, where portugal was forced to fall back on brazil, which it after declared independence under the king's son. Thereafter, it essentialy became a british protectorate.

the reason why estonia and france recieved a boost in comunist ideology is because the focus gives that national spirit to any european country with a certain amount (around 10%) so france of course because of events and i guess estonia.

It looks like you get a boost to the boost party popularity mission with your south american focus as well, so I guess the idea is you pick which countries you want to get to the right percentage. I'm guessing they added it before La Resistance so it would have been the diplomatic option before. Also being able to attack the Guanchi Clique from a focus would be kind of useful for Go Ahead, Macau My Day. UK of Portugal and Brazil is probably stronger for the manpower, but coring Spain probably gives more factories and with Macau as a collaboration government you start to snowball manpower from taking China on its behalf, so there could be an argument for this path for that achievement.

I've not played Portugal but this focus tree looks pretty fun to be honest. It looks like as long as you're able to win the early civil war, you've then got as much time as you want to build up and do whatever you like which is quite a nice position to be in. The reason the Soviet Union in particular was a complete pushover is the AI is bugged in 1.12 and spends all its political power improving relations with Romania. They then end up on civilian economy still in 1940. This bug also affects all AI countries to some extent but the situation with the Soviets is dire. Fortunately, this has been patched in the beta released just before Christmas so everyone should use the beta branch for now.
