  • New Italian Focus Tree: Follow the historical path of Mussolini's Italy or rewrite history by restoring power to the monarchy, leading a Communist revolution or replacing Mussolini with one of a variety of new contenders.
  • New Ethiopian Focus Tree: Defy the odds to defeat the Italian invader or resist the conqueror from abroad using unique Government in Exile abilities.

  1. Ok

    I like the aircraft designer, but I wish air combat was made more visual or interactive. Similar to naval combat, I find myself not really paying all that much attention to what exactly my planes are doing. It takes away from the enjoyment of designing because it feels like I'm not really making an impact with my planes regardless of their design. The Italian focus tree is pretty fun, and the Ethiopian and Swiss trees look alright too. But other than that, it doesn't really add that much, especially for 20€.

  2. Bloody good stuff

    I think that this DLC in particular adds new strategies that make the game deadly if you want it, for oneself and others. Solid addition to the game.

  3. Good new mechanics

    The gradual improvements to aircraft modules and the aircraft designer since the DLC's launch are paying off. Unit medals are a fun way to make your divisions feel more elite.
