Total War
Hello and Welcome to my EU4: Total War Mod
This mod is based on my Dynamic Population Mod which you can find here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=959329347
This Mod changes how wars are fought in the game.
In basegame, you have a standing army all the time, while in this phase of history few countries actually had a permanent standing army. Also in basegame wars arent really costly to your treasury and population.
This mod tries to change that, making wars costly and devastating.
Also you will be able to mobilise your country when war starts, and youll have to demobilise when it ends.
To achieve this, the mod adds several things to the game:
1. War now gives a +100% modifier to your army size limit, while peace gives a -25% modifier.
2. You have a decision to mobilise your country when at war, this decision will spawn a unit in all your core provinces, but also increase local autonomy and add Devastation to the provinces.
3. You also have a decision that drafts recruits from a province, you’ll get 5000 manpower and pay 1 base tax, base manpower and base production.
4. Devastation can now lead to a hidden event that decreases a provinces’ development.
5. Finally, your population = development will slowly grow over time, with hard limits based on terrain and continent on how far it can grow.
These 5 changes together make it so that wars have a lasting devastating effect on your country and it is harder to defeat the AI.
This makes a peaceful "tall" playstyle much more viable.
Also, the AI can and will use all the described systems above.
