Certain someone suggested to me that i should try Jose P. Laurel's Path for Philippines

and the outcome was surprising

because i kid you not, i did not expect my game to end with me(Philippines) to be in faction with Communist China, Kingdom of Cambodia, Bantu Empire, Peru-Bolivian Confederation, Azerbaijan and Ottoman Empire.

i played this path like week ago and it was good but wish there was more content for conquering europe

i used toolpack on the African puppet to create pseudo Swedish Mittelafrika

i was expecting some unique formable after forming Nordic Commune

something similiar to anarcho-syndicalist "United Commune"

but to my surprise there was nothing, and yet i felt joy from this path

so sometimes you don't need some batshit insane formables

but simple path with bonuses and flavor

surpringly rly low number fo bugs but bugs nonetheless

1. dixie revolt state debuff still exists despite beating southern rebellion

2. Commonwealth of America was able to beat Nicaraguan insurgency and decided to annex Nicaragua, later when i annexed them i couldn't release Nicaragua as my puppet so i had to use commands

3. the decision to establish unified canadian puppet no longers and simply changes quebecs name and leader rather then unifying quebec and borealia

4. the focus regarding the war with Commonwealth of America mentions a scripted peacedeal once you beat them. this never happend and i had to resort to commands

5. the decision regarding the virgin islands only had option to keep them. there should be option to grant them to commonwealth of the antilles

6. SCA should have option to slowly integrate Canadian, Alaskan, Greenland, Texas, California and Confederacy of Free Tribes territories if you decide to annex them (just simple option to gain cores with debuff related to population, resources and industry)

not a bug but small suggestions:

there should be option to pick different flags for both United States and Greater North American Union formable for SCA (because not gonna lie, i don't like Red EU flag)

Chile and Wallmapu should have different names when their ideology is changed (see slide 19)

so i decided to play the new public beta build and see what changed and whats broken

and gotta tell ya there's a lot!

first thing first:

the imperial civil war is still bugged as it was bugged in the regular build

what i mean i that there isn't any event or timer for repealing british invasion

this means few things:

1. because there isn't any event or timer end for this war you will be stuck in eternal war with britain unless you cap them or someone caps them

2. another thing is that you lose cores on new england with no option to regain them as core territories

3. the imperial civil war event and super event fired twice in my playthrough from 2 different reasons

3.1 i reach the maximum tension between america and britain which resulted in civil war

3.2 i completed the focus that declares my independence from britain

now few things regarding events and focus tree:

1. the Nicaraguan decisions are bound the first focus tree, but if you elect someone else without completing the small focus tree, you'll be blocked from ending insurgency in Nicaragua

2. if you gain controll over state of superior during the Anglois Crisis, you don't get a decision to core it

now one thing that bothers me (and perhaps it's a overside)

The Prince Edward as possible King of America

during the events you can pretty much get the impression that Edward is hated in America

and after his "Fumble" you straight up jail him

what i mean but that

Edward should be removed as potential king of america and replaced with his brother Albert

one last thing before the end of my report

there should be some decision regardin the New Foundland and Labrador

maybe just give us option to give labrador to quebec if it's a puppet or independent state and option to integrated New Foundland or establish a puppet state

if you get confused by my report due to my poor english

just write in the comments so i can hopefully explain it

Finally!

i played all paths for basque country/EUSKADI (Except Left Carlists)

ngl this is perhaps my least liked path for this country

you big pre contest focus and almost nothing after conquering spain not even a reformable spain

only franco-spanish empire

which i think is supposed to formable only if you keep Jaime del Burgo Torres as PM

but for some reason the even to form Franco-Spain still fires even you choose other PM's

yes i know i played the jacobin path already

but apparently i wasn't supposed to form Euskadi-Frantzia as Natcom Basque Country

so i decided to replay the Natcom path (mainly because i wanted to form eurasia) and play the old guard jacobin

oh and i'll post the rest screenshots in the comments because of the 20 pictures limit

due to limit of 20 screenshots i'll post rest in the comments

not shown but:

after completing one focus you get option to attack south africa and decolonized

allowing you to establish Zulu Kingdom under the rule of Cyprian Bhekuzulu

another thing is that the event for leadership was bugged and fired before second election allowing me to get alternate leaders

Weltkrieg happend because ireland btw
