Much like my previous work, this mission tree is also broken down into different parts, each with its own thematic direction, objectives and goals. So, starting off, let’s take a look at the new mission tree I have in store for you: Please enjoy reading through this Developer Diary and I hope you enjoy it!

As a result, playing as France you will experience the most extensive and intricate mission tree we have created since Rule Britannia, with 84 new missions, dozens of new events, mechanics, decisions, a new monument, government reforms, a new subject type and even new Revolutionary content included in the tree. The philosophy behind this content is to imprint as much of France’s history as possible within the confines of the game. On a personal note, France is one of my most favorite countries to play and as such, I am extremely excited to unveil the extensive content I have prepared for them. Please keep in mind that the values and art displayed here are far from final and will be further tweaked, with your feedback! We’ll also be adding a lot of new content in update 1.35 for free, but we’ll talk about that later in March (although we already gave an early preview of that with the new Idea Groups). To be clear, the content displayed here (missions, reforms and events tied to the tree) will be part of the DLC. In addition, we consider France alongside the Ottomans and some of the other Great Powers as the final big bosses of the campaign, powerful and scary, but at the same time not railroaded towards success. The idea behind revisiting them for the upcoming DLC is that we want to elevate them up to our current standards of quality and aim at making these nations fun again for people who have completed several campaigns before, already. Before we begin, I would like to take a moment and discuss the idea behind giving content to France and other countries which have already received content of any form in previous years. Bonjour! Welcome to this week’s Development Diary where we will be taking a closer look at the new content for France.
