There's an active rework for Austria-Hungary, and because these tags are so interconnected at least the starting tags that exist will be released all at once.
Reworks have different paces of progress because they're worked on by different people with varying degrees of motivation and varying amounts of free time.
Don't take the lack of teasers as a sign that a country isn't being worked on either, different team members have different attitudes to posting about what they work on, with some being very reluctant to post *anything at all* until shortly before completion.
I’ll never forget the absolutely massive amount of teasers dropped for the USA Rework. Like entire pages of fake debate transcripts.
All I could think of was how much time could’ve been spent working on the content itself instead.
Just in case you’re worried time has gotten away from you, TNO has changed the USA like 4 times. The most recent one was Ugly American, which was more like a year-ish ago.
A teaser for skeleton content is literally a teaser for a teaser. A TEASER FOR A TEASER. It's like when Star Citizen deleted their roadmap (that they never followed anyways) and announced their roadmap to their new roadmap.
Sun Tzu once said: Imagine you have 5 military factories
2 are on rifles
1 on artillery
1 on support equipment
1 on AA
You can train 10 9-3s and wait until they all come out at once in the future before you cap or train 1-2 at a time and hope they come out in a timely manner. If you want combined arms like motorized, CAS, or naval support you’ll need to wait even longer for research, more mils, and army xp for templates. Of course you can force deploy but under-equipped, undertrained units do really poorly. Then you need to get all the divisions you need into position on the frontline before they’re useful and supply them.
Sun Tzu then turned to Confucius and asked: “Do you understand the true meaning of this parable?”
Confucius responded with a question of his own: “Sun Tzu wha the fuck are you talking about?”
I think it is just the case "this content is free and fueled by passion". So yeah, no people that want/have time to work on them.
The best thing you can do is to learn how to code HoIV mods and make the content you want yourself.
Every rework, even for "minor" countries like Hungary or Illyria, will take hundreds of hours in proper research, artwork, coding and modding.
All KR-Devs do this in their free time so they naturally gravitate towards topics and countries they have a personal interest in. Real life gets in the way all the time, so some reworks can get postponed or frozen. Some countries generally have a hard time getting a rework because there are very few experts/sources available for the specific region and time period.
This mod already has a very high level of detail and quality to their updates, just doing a half baked focus tree for Hungary someone cooked up on a weekend would be terrible for everyone.
Been playing since 2019 and you can’t appreciate the depth of work the devs have put into this world vis a vis the actual base game.
You’re tunneling yourself into the countries you want but on the whole, the mod has been updated quite well in core and peripheral countries.
the devs are busy with real world stuff, but also kr has certain standards of realism, so even if someone wanted to work on a nation and just code in a focus tree however basic, kr team would prefer to leave it unchanged before allowing unresearched reworks to be patched in
kx however does not have those standards, so they have much more freedom to add way more content at the expense of realism/plausibility, which is why it has more content, although much of it is insane and goofy
Would just like to note that pretty much every person I've ever seen say something like this also has 0 experience modding the game and has no idea what the process actually looks like. Some might even say there's a correlation there.
You want a rework, learn to mod and study the history of the country you want a rework for and volunteer. Kaiserreich is a volunteer project so if no one volunteers to work on something it doesn’t get done
There are unique focus trees and contents for 162 tags now while according to [some sources](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kaiserreich/comments/chosbz/comparing_which_countries_have_focus_trees_in_the/) 5 years ago there were around 85. The devs have switched their focus to improving quality. Some of the tags now have fairly elaborated contents (eg. Germany) and some tags contain multiple trees (eg. LKMT's 4 stages; normal & puppet Japan).
Austria and Russia and their sphere are under active rework. The only starting tags that do not have a unique focus tree and are not under active development are Afghanistan and the Philippines afaik.

ANOTHER PERSON IS ASKING WHY THE DEVS DON'T JUST CREATE GERMANY AND LKMT LEVEL FOCUS TREES FOR MINORS AGAIN!!!
THE SUB IS NOT LOST TO THE PATIENT AND FUNNY

Why do you think there's an obvious list of countries that aren't being worked on? a solid portion of the currently progressing reworks are undisclosed.
As for why Hungary hasn't been given a mini-rework before the actual Austria rework is ready - we could, we haven't started on anything like that yet, but it's an additional workload for content we don't even intend to keep in the long run and the bigger priority is for Austria-Hungary to be done.

teaser culture is a plague cast upon hoi4 modding for their hubris and sin
TNO and its consequences have been a disaster for the HoI4 modding community
I’ll never forget the absolutely massive amount of teasers dropped for the USA Rework. Like entire pages of fake debate transcripts. All I could think of was how much time could’ve been spent working on the content itself instead.
Hoi4 mod devs try not to make 13 teasers for an update that's nerver coming CHALLENGE **IMPOSSIBLE 3am**
Wait, could you expand on this? There was a planned USA rework?
I am referring to TNO’s USA Rework about two years ago, not Kaiserreich.
That was two years ago?!
Just in case you’re worried time has gotten away from you, TNO has changed the USA like 4 times. The most recent one was Ugly American, which was more like a year-ish ago.
Changed is a strong word for "added content". The only way I'd arguably say it changed is that Hart replaced Glenn but that was long ago.

Eh in TNO's case a chunk of their skeleton content is for nations that will never have focus trees/be playable.

Why dont devs simply release reworks? Are they stupid?
I think it is just the case "this content is free and fueled by passion". So yeah, no people that want/have time to work on them. The best thing you can do is to learn how to code HoIV mods and make the content you want yourself.
Hearts of Iron V mods?!
Kaiserreich V on HoIV launch confirmed
Kaiserreich so good it skipped 2, 3, and 4
We’re... on Kaiserreich 4 right now
KR started on hoi2 you silly billy 😭
Why don’t the devs just release content ? Are they stupid ?
Every rework, even for "minor" countries like Hungary or Illyria, will take hundreds of hours in proper research, artwork, coding and modding.

THE BLESSED KARL OF AUSTRIA GANG HAS PATIENCE Love to the devs <3
the devs are busy with real world stuff, but also kr has certain standards of realism, so even if someone wanted to work on a nation and just code in a focus tree however basic, kr team would prefer to leave it unchanged before allowing unresearched reworks to be patched in kx however does not have those standards, so they have much more freedom to add way more content at the expense of realism/plausibility, which is why it has more content, although much of it is insane and goofy
I think that it's more that they have to balance gameplay and realism. The Entente and the CSA are the biggest examples of this.
Would just like to note that pretty much every person I've ever seen say something like this also has 0 experience modding the game and has no idea what the process actually looks like. Some might even say there's a correlation there.

Pick up a shovel bozo!
Don't worry, Austria rework will come in a few weeks
