Ante Bellum Ideas for Vanilla

This small mod takes the four new idea groups from my main project – Ante Bellum, and makes them available for the base game.

• This mod should be compatible with all mods that do not change the national ideas
• This mod is not ironman compatible
• The new idea groups also include their own policies
• This mod is only localized in English
• Three of the four idea groups are restricted, Imperial requires you to be a HRE member, Celestial requires the MoH DLC and you to be the Emperor of China, and Professional requires the CoC DLC
