Idea Groups Reworked 1.35
This mod serves to rework and rebalance all of the existing idea groups as well as add one new idea group for each monarch point type!
Each monarch point type has 2 mutually exclusive groups. Humanist/Religious, Diplomatic/Influence, and Offensive/Defensive are all mutually exclusive with additional buffs to make it ‘worth your while,’ so to speak. Many policies have been tweaked as well to better reflect the idea group changes.
Feedback in the comments or in my discord[www.discord.gg] are appreciated!
