Ethiopian War Logistics branch
| Focus | Prerequisite(s) | Effect(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Ethiopian War Logistics |  No National Focus PrerequisitesThe following will bypass the focus:
|
(Eritrea):
(Somaliland):
|
We might have misjudged the logistics situation for our glorious conquest of Ethiopia. We must make it our primary goal to provide our brave troops with the necessary supplies. |
 |
Industrial Effort | Ethiopian War Logistics |
2 Random owned European States:
|
Focus all our political efforts on building up the civilian industry in a great leap forward. |
 |
Industrial Effort II | Industrial Effort |
2 Random owned European States:
|
With iron will and a relentless work ethic, we can mobilize the people in another great industrial effort. |
 |
Extra Research Slot | Industrial Effort II |
|
Our industrial expansion and other recent advances might allow us to conduct more R&D in parallel. |
 |
Fortification Effort | Industrial Effort II |
(Piedmont):
(Dodecanese), (Sicily), (Sardinia):
|
We must defend our shores and borders against aggression by the fading and decadent imperial powers France and Britain. |
 |
Italian Highways | Extra Research Slot |
(Latium), (Campania), (Calabria), (Abruzzo), (Piedmont), (Lombardy), (Veneto), (Emila Romagna) and (Tuscany):
|
We need to expand our Infrastructure to ensure easy mobility of troops throughout our empire. With enemies at every corner of the world this is a crucial part of being able to defend all Italian soil. |
 |
Prospect For Oil | Italian Highways Additional prerequisites:
|
(Sirte):
|
Old empires always fear new ones on the rise and we should not depend on them. We cannot rely on oil from other nations and should focus our efforts on finding our own source within the empire. This is how we make sure to stay competitive far into the future. |
 |
Libyan Refineries | Prospect For Oil Additional prerequisites:
|
(Benghazi):
|
Benghazi is a perfect place for constructing refineries. Close to oil sources and close to production in the homeland. |
 |
Libyan Infrastructure | Prospect For Oil |
(Benghazi):
(Sirte):
(El Agheila), (Derna), (Tripoli):
|
Our vast lands in Northern Africa still lack behind the remainder of our empire in terms of Infrastructure. We should focus our efforts on bringing them up to par. |
Army Primacy branch
| Focus | Prerequisite(s) | Effect(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Army Primacy |
2 Random owned States:
|
Industrially, Italy is still lagging behind the decadent colonial empires. We must choose whether to prioritize the army or the navy. The choice seems obvious; like the ancient Roman Empire depended on its legions, so must the new Italian Empire! | |
 |
Modernized Artillery | Army Primacy |
|
The Regio Esercito is, in theory, one of the largest armies in the world. Unfortunately, there is no way we can equip all those men properly. Worst of all, most of our artillery is from 1918! |
 |
Modernized Army | Modernized Artillery AND
|
|
Better artillery will increase our fighting efficiency greatly, but we also have need of new tactics and doctrines. |
 |
Special Forces | Modernized Army |
|
We have need of elite forces; mountain troops and paratroopers should be our priority. |
 |
Armored Effort | Special Forces |
|
Fighting in Ethiopia is well and good, but our tanks are simply not up to the standard needed to fight against the decadent - though still powerful - plutodemocracies of Europe. |
 |
Air Innovations | Army Primacy OR
|
|
Modern wars cannot be won without dominating the skies. We must do everything in our power to develop the air force! |
 |
Bomber Effort | Air Innovations AND
|
|
The era is past when armies could win wars without looking to the skies. We must develop our tactical bombers to provide our soldiers with the air support they need. |
 |
Naval Air Effort | Air Innovations AND
|
|
The efficacy of air strikes against naval targets was demonstrated by the Americans already back in 1921. We should not neglect this branch of the Air Force if we intend to wage war on a naval power. |
|
Air Innovations II | Naval Air Effort OR
|
|
Every advantage we can gain in the skies is precious. We should focus all of our efforts on developing our fighters. |
 |
Jet Engine Effort | Air Innovations II |
|
Italy should be at the forefront of Jet engine development thanks to the brilliant work of Secondo Campini. We should give him all the resources he needs to further improve his designs for the Regio Aeronautica. |
Mare Nosturm / Light Ship Effort branch
| Focus | Prerequisite(s) | Effect(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Mare Nostrum |
2 Random owned States:
|
Our resources are limited and we must make some painful choices but the British Empire has us caged in the Mediterranean. Breaking out will require a navy to rival even theirs... | |
 |
Carrier Effort | Mare Nostrum
|
2x100% Research Bonus for: Carrier models |
Modern battle fleets will be centered on aircraft carriers not battleships. The supremacy of air power over ships was demonstrated by the Americans back in 1921! |
 |
Capital Ship Effort | Mare Nostrum
|
|
The nation with the most battleships will rule the oceans. We must not allow the Royal Navy to outgun us in the Mediterranean... |
 |
Atlantic Fleet | Capital Ship Effort AND
|
|
Once we have broken out of the British cage we will need to project our power across the oceans. This must be our first priority. |
 |
Marines and Landing Craft | Atlantic Fleet
|
|
Wars are not won by naval power alone; we must also be able to transport our armies across the waves and put them ashore safely... |
 |
Light Ship Effort | No National Focus Prerequisites |
|
The convoys to our overseas territories need protection. We need to develop new doctrines as well as more modern destroyers. |
 |
Submarine Effort | Light Ship Effort
|
|
Submarine warfare is the most exciting naval development since the invention of the torpedo boat. We would do well to not just protect against submarines, but also use them against enemy shipping. |
 |
Sea Wolves | Submarine Effort AND
|
|
Our German allies have developed terrifyingly efficient submarines and the 'wolf pack' doctrines to employ them. We should learn from them. |
 |
Escort Effort | Light Ship Effort
|
|
We should make further efforts to protect our vulnerable convoys in the Mediterranean. |
Triumph in Africa branch
| Focus | Effect(s) | Prerequisite(s) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Triumph in Africa |
|
No National Prerequisites Other prerequisites:
One of the following must be true:
|
Failure in the first First Italo-Ethiopian War has been a stain on Italian honor for 40 years, by achieving victory now that stain will be removed and the strength of the Iron will of Fascism will be proven! |
 |
 Claims on Yugoslavia |
The following will bypass the focus:
|
There is still a significant Italian population in Yugoslavia, dating back to the glory days of Venice at least. Restoring these regions to Italian rule is an important step towards recreating the Roman Empire! | |
 |
Befriend Yugoslavia |
 Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
Rather than antagonizing Yugoslavia now, we can put off its eventual conquest until a more opportune time. Instead, we could befriend the regime and bring the country into our sphere of influence. |
 |
Support Nationalist Spain |
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
Spain is in the midst of a civil war which will determine whether it will be a future possible fascist ally or remain a useless republic - or worse yet, fall to communism or anarchy. We must provide support to the true Spaniards before it is too late! |
|
Befriend Bulgaria |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Bulgaria is in our sphere of influence. Their secure alignment with Italy is key to our Balkan ambitions. |
 |
Albanian Occupation |
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
Albania paints an easy target for our troops to occupy. We are unlikely to be met with much resistance. We must show the world the might of Italy and restore the glory of the Roman Empire! |
|
Befriend Romania |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
The following will bypass the focus:
|
It would be in our best interest to bring our distant kindred in Romania into our sphere of influence. Il Duce sees great potential in their 'Iron Guard'. |
 |
Pact of Steel |
|
|
Our relationship with Nazi Germany is troubled by ideological differences and conflicting aims; Il Duce is extremely wary of German ambitions in Austria and the Balkans. However, realities do change... |
|
German Military Cooperation |
 German Military Cooperation
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
Through tight cooperation with the powerful German military we can combine the best part of German efficiency and Italian innovation. We will have a strategic advantage over anyone who dares face us. |
|
Sea Wolves |
|
|
Our German allies have developed terrifyingly efficient submarines and the 'wolf pack' doctrines to employ them. We should learn from them. |
 |
Secret Weapons |
|
|
It is tempting to expend all extra resources into developing tanks and planes, but the secret to winning wars lies in whole new fields of science; electronics, rocketry and nuclear research. |
|
Treaty with Germany |
|
|
We should ask the Germans to exchange technological secrets for the benefit of both of our great nations. |
 |
Claims On France |
|
|
Take land from Vichy France. With the German Conquest of Paris and a new government formed in France, it is time for us to claim our rightful piece of Southern Europe. Germany has expanded heavily in the north, and it is only fair that we are granted a slice of our own. |
 |
Italy First |
|
Additional prerequisites:
One of the following must be true:
Mutually exclusive with |
Mussolini will never play second fiddle to Hitler! We must heed the lessons of the Roman Empire; Teutonic interference in Italian affairs never ends well... |
 |
War with the UK |
|
|
The decaying British Empire has us caged in the Mediterranean and will never voluntarily give us the keys. We must strike at the English as soon as the time is right! |
 |
Befriend Japan |
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
The Japanese are much like us; a young, hungry power with a positive demography, held ransom by trade from waning plutodemocracies like the UK and the Netherlands. We should unite with them to form a vibrant Naval Axis across the oceans! |
 |
Go After France |
|
Additional prerequisites:
One of the following must be true:
|
France... yet another reactionary democracy of the west who, at every moment seeks to hinder the advance and have often endangered the very existence of the Italian people. We go to battle for the good of Italy and the future of the Empire. |
 |
War with Greece |
|
Additional prerequisites:
Mutually exclusive with |
What kind of Roman Empire are we restoring if we do not include Greece? It should be an easy target... |
|
Spanish-Italian Alliance |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
One of the following must be true:
Mutually exclusive with The following will bypass the focus:
|
Franco and the Spanish nationalists are our natural allies, united by religion, culture and ideology. Together, we could seize Gibraltar and make life very difficult for the Royal Navy... |
|
Befriend Portugal |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
Portugal is, along with Spain, natural allies of the Italian people. We must strengthen these bonds of friendship. |
|
Demand Balearic Islands |
|
|
Having proven our support for Franco's new regime, we are in a position to request one of the important territories we fought to defend, the Balearic Islands, be ceded to Italy to strengthen our strategic hold of the Mediterranean. |
|
Befriend Greece |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
Mutually exclusive with The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Greeks are a fellow ancient people and the cradle of Western civilization. It should not be impossible to align their aims with ours... |
|
Claims On Turkey |
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
The 1915 treaty of London promised Italy Turkish lands in Anatolia in exchange for the Western powers gains in the Levant. They took their due, claiming that they were merely League of Nations mandates, while Italy was denied. The new Italy is much stronger than the old and we will force the Turks to keep the British promises. |
|
Befriend Turkey |
Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
Additional prerequisites:
|
The Turks have no reason to love us after the Italian-Turkish war and the Great War. However, Realpolitik takes precedence over old gripes, and the current situation in the Mediterranean could bring our two stars into alignment. |
Mutually exclusive choices can be only chosen once and then the other choice is excluded and further focuses depending on that excluded focus also become unavailable. These choices should be considered carefully as they can fundamentally change the direction of the country.
