[@cipherskell9638]

Regarding the collaboration Gouvernement Dave, you should have waited some days. It Jumped back to 437. While it is way lower than 482 and you loose all the ressources, you have manpower instead through puppet template + the garrison is back in the manpower pool. You can reclaim the ressources (80 ressources / civ, instead of 8 ressources / civ) so the ressources are not really a problem, and the autonomy gain can be neutered through continuous focus and construction. Best nations to make collab are those with alot of manpower and are poor in ressources. Mainly Africa, India (no agrarian national spirit = 20 milions manpower) and China (no debuff to manpower, 20 milions too).

[@FilliamPL]

This needs to have more attention in the comments!

[@dylanb2990]

It’s also best with small tags, (like in Africa) because they get 7 factories through the default focus tree.

[@cipherskell9638]

@@dylanb2990 Yeah. It takes times though, and those factories gained won't really matter because they won't be made in time. It is a small buff, but they will be done way too late for those to matter.

[@miguelrodriguezcimino1674]

Honestly, it feels like half of these exploits you need an insane amount of luck to pull off. I tried over a dozen of times, and not even once the other balkan countries switched to coummunism with less than 60%. They even got to 75% and still didn't switch. Not to mention Romania has a focus completed around april '39 which gives it a 35% democratic support wich really sets you back.

[@milkymace9502]

You need to be lucky and precise with the focus tree, i ve done it first try, if the countries hit 50% communist support before their election they will flip rather easily

[@xgcsurreal2608]

​@@milkymace9502 it is rather hard to get them (Romania and Greece) 50% communist before elections in historical as they stop having elections by 1938

[@tami8110]

Something I remember noticing is when you take the United Balkans Focus you integrate all puppets. Stuff like Germany or the Soviet Union. I think you even get their cores if I remember correctly.

[@ak-77]

I don't think u do

[@ianmiller8399]

You should try to form the Macedonian empire as Greece. You can do this by either going fascist without Metaxas or by putting the king in charge. For both of these to actually form the nation you have to finish the focuses that are at the very end of each of these paths

[@stu3178]

[@jackgarrett6366]

The reason collaborative governments are overpowered is mainly when used with early game states like the African territories for France/UK/Spain because it releases a bunch of nations with their own manpower pools and access to the Default focus tree *industry* paths so when they get their seven or so factories from the focus tree, about 70% of them go to you. So it's mainly used for non-major nations. But it is also nice to get a huge percentage of manpower and factories without having to garrison, plus they can make ALOT of divisions. They are practically just puppets with a much higher contribution to you. Plus they look pretty on the map and don't get any modifiers from the real nations (ex. if you make a collab-India you get all the manpower without any debuffs as the actual British Raj has)

[@Nick-ce6lt]

When I did it no joke, Albania didn't submit to Italy, would have been all g but then Germany joined in.

"at 60%, it becomes almost certain" meanwhile I'm cancelling and restarting the invite focus for the fourth time, losing my mind as turkey soars past 90% communist support, still not flipping for the 2nd playthrough in a row It's weird I never have this problem going the democratic route

@FeedBackGaming there is a way to get rid of the restrictions faster. Just go for the renegotiation focus and do the decisions then you only need to slightly improve relations with the UK.They will refuse the first time but then you press them for lifting the restrictions and they will just accept it.

[@neilangelomolleda7283]

Collaboration governments are nice. Because you can build more in them because they are their respective core territories.. they are better than puppets because puppets only give you mils. While collab gives you both mils and civs

[@unbindingfloyd]

I think its much better to just keep the Zveno faction. Without them you dont really have any good military ministers and I have been able to do the federation while keeping them before so I recommend don't crush them at all. Im not sure if im missing something but I never had a problem with them rising up. Their prime minister is also good as a replacement. He gives entrenchment bonuses, defensive bonuses, and recrutable pop bonuses. The only group I crush are the monarchist and thats it. I integrate the socialist 1st. Then crush the monarchist. Then integrate the Zveno and agrarians last. I've never had any civil wars this way.

[@ianmiller8399]

There is no monarchists faction. Do you mean the fascist or national socialist as the faction is called?

[@raippakeisari2342]

Collaboration goverment is a good choise if you're strugling with resistance and don't have a lot of manpower or equipment to suppress that resistance. Collaboration government also allows you to use that nations manpower far better than you could if said nation was annexed because the CG has cores and you don't. You still get a very large portion of their industry anyways. However if suppression is not an issue and manpower is not an issue, then it's better to just occupy all that land. That's how I see it anyways.

I really hope Paradox reworks ideology flipping at some point. Late 1940: finally Romania and Greece flip around the same time, Turkey sitting at 91% Red Party support and is still Non-Aligned. I see Hungary taking a bite out of Romania, then the Soviets taking one out of Romania... and I can do jack shit about it, because my focus was so delayed due to none of them flipping. *Poland had already capitulated before I could even form my faction (sans Yugo).*

[@Quatschkopflolxd]

got the same problem

[@robiagacitei5487]

You also get the navy and airforce aswell 💀so you can pretty much have a navy on par with USSR and 50% of italy, you can get 2 aditional battleships if greece does the "british docking rights" focus, or you can get only 1 if greece does the "restore schachtplan" you can also get lots of industry(mostly mils) if yugoslavia does the economic path of its nation focus. You get lots of manpower from Romania, and quite some good generals and The Best balkan economy, you also gain lots of manpower from turkey and its good industry, on top of that you can gets LOTS of dockyards from Bulgaria's focuses, by doing the focus "Bulgaria on The three seas" (adriatic, black and aegean sea) which gives you 2 naval dockyards on any state with 1 dockyards already built along the coast of aegean, adriatic and black sea, plus 1 naval Base and 2 coastal forts on The coaste of those 3 seas. Pretty op focus if you want to be a naval power.

[@Magmaking1234]

[@jippy33]

I think this guide needs to be redone. Even at 65% Turkey and Greece don't flip and Romania uses a Focus that cuts their communism support way down. Dunno if it is because of the latest patch or your insanely lucky RNG but that doesn't work very well for a guide.
