: Emperor Haile Selassie faces a technologically superior Italian army. The "story" here is one of survival—using the rugged terrain of the Horn of Africa to bleed the invaders dry.

Here is a detailed narrative of the "story" you experience through this expansion: 1. The Defiant Lion: Ethiopia’s Struggle

In the world of Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone , the story isn't written in a book, but on the shifting borders of a world at war. Released in late 2022, this expansion focuses on the Mediterranean theater, specifically the rise and fall of empires in Italy, Ethiopia, and Switzerland.

: As the "Lighthouse of Liberty," you must manage relations with your neighbors to avoid invasion while taking in refugees and acting as a hub for international espionage.

The story often begins in 1936 with the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. Unlike previous versions where Ethiopia was a brief footnote before being annexed, By Blood Alone transforms this into a desperate epic of resistance.
