Bolivar Patch
Hello again everyone, now it’s time for me to show you guys some of the things for this bag of treats that I have been working on for the patch coming alongside the Country Pack Trial of Allegiance!The Peru-Ecuador Conflict
First up in terms of what I have contributed to this bag of treats is the Peruvian-Ecuadorian war of 1941. Now, Ecuador starts with ownership and a core on Pastaza, and Peru will have to take it through war, with the option of a scripted peace if they manage to take it. Ecuador can however also secure themselves a scripted peace from this ordeal, as long as they take Loreto, which means a skilled Ecuador player can even gain territory from the conflict.

New Formable Nations
But wait, there’s more! Now onto new formable nations (that aren’t for the main countries getting a focus tree in the DLC) that are included in the patch. And for this part I’m especially looking at you Hovelax ;). The First on up is the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, formable in-game by either Peru or Bolivia.





New Releasable Nations
Now then, we’ve arrived to the non formable, but instead releasable nations added alongside this patch, or at least the ones that I’ve implemented. First up on the list we have Quebec.



Canada War Effort
And now, merged into this patch is a Canadian War Effort, updating and adding a small extra amount of content for our home and native land, Canada. To start off with, Canada has a new industrial concern available to them, that being the Canadian Pacific Railway.












Update Central American Formables
The old formable nation of Central America now has two possible follow-up decisions that can give them a small bit of extra core states. First up is Integrating Panama.

New American Industrial Concern
And now we arrive at my final contributions to this patch. First up we have the Union Pacific Railroad for the USA.
New Operatives
As for the owners of La Resistance, you will also gain new operatives such as the new American Operatives, George Musulin, Joe Savoldi, René Joyeuse, Willian G Sebold and Serge Obolensky. These operatives are unlocked for the USA through some of the various War Plans focuses.




Naval Trait Rework
Hello! My name is Mordred Viking, and I have recently joined the Hearts of Iron IV team. As some of you may know, I have a bit of a thing for naval warfare in HOI, and have wanted to retouch the Admiral Trait tree for a while now. Here’s the old version:

Trial of Allegiance
AveeBee here again! Before jumping into the content pack specific part of this dev diary, I think it’s also worth pointing out that there will be a lot of bug fixes going into the Bolivar Patch that have not been mentioned here but are no less important. We’ll be looking more at those in a later Dev Diary.Amazon Rework
The Amazon Rainforest is probably one of the most hostile places on the planet to get embroiled in a conflict due to the array of geographical features it includes. It is not the type of place you can sweep through with tanks or rapidly construct infrastructure to support massive infantry formations. As such, we’ve made some changes to its portrayal in Hearts of Iron to better represent the difficulty of fighting there.



Peron
Hey everyone, it’s Eilidh again. After taking your feedback into consideration, we have decided to implement a short alternate path in the historical branch where you, as the player, can decide to elect Juan Perón as the leader of Argentina. The position in this tree means that you can either choose to support the allies or go on your own conquest of South America, depending on the type of game you want to play.


Paraguay & Uruguay
Mba'éichapa! Craniummuppet here to present two mini-trees, Paraguay and Uruguay. These trees started as a side-project for me after the release of AAT, mostly to give a small treat to you guys but kinda kept growing in size as time went on from a smaller shared tree into fully separated trees with a scope target like Aussa or Iceland. (Note that much of the icons are placeholders and will get updated)Paraguay
At the start of the game Paraguay is reeling from two costly wars - The War of the Triple Alliance and the Chaco War against Bolivia. This is felt in Paraguay









Uruguay
Uruguay was comparatively more stable than Paraguay during the time frame, despite being under a quasi dictatorship under Gabriel Terra. Despite this they enjoyed a rapid GDP growth and relative stability. The beginning of the period centers around industrialization and the policies under Terra.
