Military Enhancement Mod
The Military Enhancement Mod is aiming to rework warfare, national ideas, idea groups and policies. The mod has not been extensively tested and although there should not be any stability issues there could be issues with balance, but that will be worked on over time.
• Armies are now smaller due to reduced manpower and forcelimit gained from development
• Army maintenance cost raises more quickly as tech progresses
• Battles will be shorter to make battles more decisive
• Scorched earth is now actually useful
• Terrain changes combat width allowing smaller armies to fight larger armies strategically
• Lots of smaller warfare changes
• National ideas have largely been removed to make the game less historically railroaded
• Countries keep their tradition and bonus modifiers though some are changed
• Idea groups have been reworked
• Some new idea groups and removed some old ones
• Some idea groups are now mutually exclusive
• Policies are now unlocked by tech instead of completing idea groups
• Some policies have conditions to be met before they can be activated
• There is now only 8 policies per category
• Countries can now activate 9 total policies
• Bankruptcy is now much more severe and lasts longer
• Ship maintenance is more expensive as time passes
• Reduced naval force limit and sailor amount
• Various other small changes
