Cut content

*For information regarding upcoming versions, see Upcoming content.*
**Cut content** refers to content in the *Hearts of Iron IV* mod **Old World Blues** which is not used (cut) either directly or indirectly in the final version of the mod. From nations, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many elements of the mod have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints. Most of it can still be found in the game files but is inaccessible within the game itself.

***Note**: cut content should not be confused with legacy content, as the two differ in certain areas (with the exception of certain elements being removed i.e removed textures, scripts etc.). Legacy content consists of the content from an earlier version of the mod that has not been modified in any manner. Cut content can consist of legacy content that has been adjusted for the later game (example:References to reworked or removed nations, such as the Great Khans and Scorpions).*

## Events

* Angela Deth and a New California Republic event chain involving Calhoun being saved from Moore's assassination attempt by Deth, Deth's Californian Rangers swearing loyalty to Calhoun, Deth's death, and Calhoun becoming bloodthirsty.
	+ Two of these events were present before being cut and deleted by Tar. The first event was Angela Deth saving Calhoun from Moore's assassination squad, with the main thematic focused being on Calhoun being a healer, and Deth's attempt to push him into becoming a "man of the people". The second was Angela Deth and her Californian Rangers going to the Boneyard, holding a protest and taking control of the garrison.

## Nations

* Dam Busters
* Guerreros de Honduras (2.0 update content)
* Petro Chico (2.0 update content)
* Scorpions
* Star Watchers
* Zuihou
* Original Hangdogs design (3.0)
* A form of Enclave presence in the Plaguelands region, which were intended in the original vision of the region, but may no longer be present in the final release.

### Formable Nations

* The Daughters of the Immortal, a scrapped formable for the Montana Chapter. The formable was originally made during the point of development where the Chapter bordered the Washington Brotherhood, resulting in a potential boarder war. To remedy this, the formable was to be an alliance between the two after a civil war between Patrocolus and Honour.

### National focus trees

* SayruZ Van Graff mini rework for New Reno (4.0), scrapped due to the belief of their reworked direction being boring.

2. ↑ Tar: *"2 were in the game before i cut them and deleted their loc. but i had more in my works that needed more polish. event 1 was angela saving calhoun from moore's squad while calhoun knowing of the coup waited for the assassination to happen. calhoun was a healer so he wasnt going to resist. its essentially angela that was going to push him to become a "man of the people". second added event was angela and her californian rangers taking him to boneyard and him holding a sort of protest where they took control of the garrison.
rest were not implemented because again i was leaving and did not want to put unfinished stuff to burden other people"*

6. ↑ Violet: *"because the tree had to be remade a few times due to other folks meddling. when montana chapter was where storm mongers was, i realized they would almost always border wash bos. originally, Honour was created to be a more divisive character— and reflective of that one weird loc string in the cause that mentions immortal supporters in the montana bos. the daughters of the immortal was supposed to be an alliance between wash bos and montana after a civil war between patrocolus and honour*
later on, i tried to bring the concept back in some fashion for 5.0 and was denied. when montana got reworked and we had to give them some internal conflict beyond “enclave neighbor = bad”, we made patrocolus and honour both much nicer people to talk to" *- Obtained from Discord, 9/5/2022*

But I scrapped them because I didn't like the direction it was going
I thought it was boring"*
