6 years ago I think we should have the converter generate unique focus trees for all great powers, according to their ideologies.
As well, it should create a unique-ish focus tree for secondary powers.
At the end, there should be two different types of focus trees remaining: one for the civilized nations (current default) and one for the uncivilized nations.
This way, we have a more realistically diverse reality, where countries will try to follow a path different from just existing.
The great powers' focus trees could be recycled from Vanilla HoI4 trees (removing any state- and country-trigger and replacing them with random states and random neighbours).
Having played through a few conversions, the thing that really annoys me is the lack of diversity when it comes to focus trees. I think that depending on the way the country was developed in Vic 2, a focus tree should be generated from scratch (depending on the terrain of the country in question) or perhaps at the start of the conversion, depending on the current political climate, alliances and industry, a few possible "stories" should be generated. For example: Let's suppose USA is communist and brazil is democratic. A possible war breaking out would be between those two nations. Thus, brazil could have a focus that builds something similar to the Maginot Line.
Thoughts?
