For nations that aren't Prussia or Austria, there is a fourth focus that aims to integrate one of two nations and go to war with the other if the integration fails one goes to war with them as well.Īs mentioned above, all of these actions are governed by chance when the event is fired one 'battle' with the nations they are trying to annex. The first event of the Progress Branch fires an event for annexing nations with only one state, the second does for nations with up to 3 states, and the last one for the rest. All unification progresses revolve around the Progress Branch, and every focus in this branch taken annexes another country and takes one a step further into unification.


The UniTree is composed of largely three sub-trees(branches), the Attack Branch, the Defense Branch and the Progress Branch. The focuses lower down the branch take exponentially more time, and make investing into Unification a dangerous, but high-returning gamble. The progress of unification is entire governed by chance, but obviously one can largely alter these chances by taking decisions of the proper order. The choices you make in the UniTree effects other players' UniTrees, and vice versa. The Unification Tree is a tree that is quite different from other focus trees as it causes interactions with other nations in a give-and-take format. This focus tree is unique for German states and is a core feature of the German states, allowing any German state to unify Germany when historical focuses is off. This slow process of unification is represented as a separate part of the focus tree for German states. In true history the process of UniGer was gradual and done without militaristic interference until the Austro-Prussian Wars. Within the game, the UniGer is a giant event that largely impacts every nation in Europe, as it disrupted the balance of powers established in the Treaty of Vienna in true history. The UniGer is one of the main point scenarios of the A Nation Divided scenario, but can literally be done by any German state as long as they take a certain set of focuses. The UniGer is characterised by the German Question, a conflict between Austria and Prussia on who should lead the new German state, and after the Prussian victory of the Austro-Prussian wars Prussia under Otto von Bismarck lead the German Empire. The Unification of Germany(UniGer from below) was caused by the rise of nationalism in Germany following the revolutions of 18, and lead to the creation of a grand power in Central Europe. The Unification of Germany was a line of events that lead to the unification of the previously divided German states under Prussia, and then formed the German Empire.
