![]() ![]() ![]() Ethiopia is in an even worse place militarily than Italy and must deal with new changes in warfare such as tanks and planes that their invaders employ. Embroiled in a war for the very existence of their nation, they need to hold on for dear life to try and secure their positions and not be relegated to the pages of history. Should Italy re-join their WW1 allies to deal with the resurgent threat of Germany? Should they foster closer ties with the Soviets and deal with both the aforementioned Germans and a hostile western power block? Maybe they should even go it alone and build a new faction from the ground up themselves, bringing the Mediterranean under their auspices? A Desperate DefenceĮthiopia, on the other hand, has no such grand plans, at least to begin with. If you fail these, you’ll receive penalties, but if you succeed in them then you’ll receive various benefits for your nation, such as addition experience for your armed forces or more war support from your population.Īlternatively, instead of focusing on winning, you could instead work to derail the effort in Ethiopia, in order to springboard your nation down a different path and bring a change in government maybe the monarchy should be back in charge? Maybe a democratic or communist government should instead be your focus? Some of these options will result in civil wars, but large changes to the status quo sometimes require upheaval, and they offer the option to change the course of history completely. If you stay the course and choose to go down the historical path, then missions will be given to you to achieve tasks such as raise the standing army to a particular amount or to build an increase in the number of civilian factories available. The focus tree is large and offers options to improve the ground, air, and naval forces of the nation, bringing them in line with the rest of Europe, and possibly even putting them ahead in some areas. They get quite a few good opportunities to improve their military capabilities, but similar to previous Italian strategies in earlier versions of the game, you’re best focusing on one or two aspects of the military instead of spreading yourself out too much. A savvy player will be able to balance dealing with these problems in the build up to another upcoming war, and work with the opportunities given with the successful conclusion of the foray into Ethiopia. Mired in a war in Ethiopia, dealing with economic problems, with potential for unrest on the home front, and struggling with a military somewhat behind the times compared to the other major powers Italy needs to juggle various problems to try and come out on top, and improve on their historical… performance in WW2. First up are the focus trees added to the game, and we’ll start with Italy.
