This gives cores on the required states, plus Zara, Istria, and South Tirol. If you have Waking the Tiger you can take the Reintegrate the Empire decision, which requires the states claimed in the Claim Transylvania and March to the Shore Focuses, except for Zara. The remaining Focuses in the tree give claims, rather than cores. *Taking the Focus Integrate the Railroads (following Industrial Revitilization) gives an opinion boost with Austria and Czechoslovakia and significantly increases the odds of success in the Demand a Referendum and Protect Czechoslovakia events. After that, though, reducing Bohemia is likely to be a lengthy, painful process. If it comes to war, severing Slovakia from Bohemia is a good place to start, preferably isolating a segment of their army in the process. Not only do you not get all of those Czech divisions, but the losses you take in defeating them will set you back even further. Puppeting is also useful, but a complete refusal is a major issue. Annexation is obviously the best, as it gives you direct control of all those divisions, and makes regaining the rest of the Empire far easier. The Focus can result in annexation, puppeting, or an outright refusal. The next Focus, Protect Czechoslovakia*, may be the most important in this sequence, as the Czechs have a large army, strong fortifications, and good industry and resources. Once you control Austria, taking Restoration of Austria-Hungary will change your tag to Austria-Hungary and give you cores on all Austrian and Czechoslovakian states. Encircling a segment of their army near the border is recommended. Fighting Austria is harder than it may look while you do have more divisions and Vienna and Graz are just across the border through easy terrain, your low manpower means your divisions are understrength (though this will improve as soon as the war starts, since you renounce the Treaty of Trianon) and Austria wonвЂ™t surrender until you take at least one of their more western cities. Essentially the choice is between a quick boost to manpower and materiel via the referendum, or forcing an early abandonment of the Treaty of Trianon by entering a war. Otherwise, the Focus Take Austria by Force gives you a War Goal as well as claims on all of AustriaвЂ™s states. If the Austrians vote no you can choose to get a war goal on them anyway. The first is Demand a Referendum* which, if the Austrians vote yes, will annex AustriaвЂ™s territory.

The player must start as Hungary, then take the Focuses from Balanced Budget through Invite the Habsburg Prince.

Austria-Hungary (Death or Dishonor)ДЇorming Austria-Hungary via Death or Dishonor is one of the two most interesting options for formable nations currently in the game, so this guide will go much more into depth on how to do so. In practice, formation requires taking territory from four much stronger nations (the U.K., France, Italy, and Spain), which are themselves part of two of the three natural powerblocks, leaving only the distant USSR as a potential ally among the great powers. Of the starting countries Iraq is the strongest, with the largest population, an extra factory (for a grand total of three), sufficient oil reserves to attract another factory or two from your exports, superior infrastructure, and an airfield. Oddly, formation does not require or grant cores on Yemen or Oman.ДЄctually forming Arabia is quite difficult. All of these states are cored on formation. Formation requires control of all Iraqi and Saudi Arabian states, as well as all British, French,and Italian states in the Middle East and North Africa, plus Spanish Morocco-essentially, everything north of the Sahara and east of Iran. It can also be formed by Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, or Syria, should they be released. Arabia can be formed by the starting countries of Iraq, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.
