Espionage Remastered

Updates may be slow for this mod as I’m currently putting my efforts into my own game, Harwell, please go check it out!

The mod works with versions 1.10+

It adds espionage actions each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Once you have the right tech you can overthrow governments, fund militias in foreign countries, support nationalists and cause an uprising, and more, but at a price. Each action has ongoing maintenance costs and tech requirements and even then there’s only a fraction of a chance each month that something actually happens; it takes time and money to establish a spy network! It costs even more to do it on the greatest powers.

The AI can use these actions also, so be careful!

1. Pass the external security law ‘Intelligence Agency’ through government.
2. Increase the institution level with bureaucracy to gain more features & actions.
3. Right click on a target country of your choosing, and select the action.
4. For certain events, interact with them using the journal entries.

For a cost, you can attempt to support slaves’ political power in the target country, as well as offer them opportunity upon your shores.
…Maybe the best way of importing labour?

Requires Rationalism.
Opens up opportunity to steal technology and catch up with those greater.
Maybe it’s time for a new world order?

Currently, this mod should be compatible with almost every other mod. If you find a conflict, let me know and I’ll look into it but this mod uses it’s own files for every function and doesn’t rely on many requirements. For Better Politics, see below.
This won’t be compatible with any overhaul that removes vanilla technologies, as they are requirements for the actions.
It’s best this mod is at the top of the load order, but it most likely doesn’t matter.

As Better Politics adds and changes ideologies, it requires a compatibility patch in order to work.
Please download the patch here.
It must be last in the load order, and this mod must be at the top.

• Election Interference may not auto-end if the country removes voting.
• AI does not make any specific decision regarding election interference, its choice of party is random.
