Do you want to GROW your PP? Download this ONE MOD to learn the secrets to BIG PP that the Weimar does NOT want you to know!


Introduction

This mod changes your base Political Power generation to dynamically scale depending on your ideology. Each ideology has its own way of increasing (or decreasing) PP gain giving far more flavour to each one… A fascist dictator and an elected president get their political influence from different means. This deepens the roleplaying experience and ties it directly to game mechanics. Each ideology will feel different to play and require different strategies if you don’t want to lose all your political clout, or if you want to become the grand reformer of your nation.

Note this will completely change how you play the political side of HoI4. You cannot depend on filling out your cabinet or making decisions at specific times unless you manage PP well. PP Gain isn’t an afterthought – it all depends on your skill as a player.

Brief Overview
  • Democratic governments get their power from the people’s belief in democracy. They gain 0-3 PP for 0-100% Democratic Support.
  • Fascist governments get their power from warmongering. They gain 0-3 PP for 0-100% War Support.
  • Communist governments get their power from the central party. They gain the default 2 PP flat gain. Ideologies added by mods default to this.
  • Non-Aligned governments get their power from their nation’s stability. They gain 0-3 PP for 0-100% Stability.

Advanced Settings

There are two different modes to PP Gain in this mod which is selectable via the Game Rules: Soft and Strict.
Soft PP Gain is friendlier as it gives a base PP gain of 1 so you (or the AI) won’t burn through their PP from focuses alone if PP is mismanaged. Your maximum PP gain is the same and communists are unaffected. Effectively instead of "0-3 PP for 0-100%" it’s "1-3 PP for 0-100%".
Strict PP Gain is harsher as your base PP gain is entirely dependant on the mechanism by which your ideology generates political power. As a consequence, mismanagement can leave you with 0 PP Gain. Naturally this may interfere with the AI so the Default setting gives the player Strict PP Gain and the AI Soft PP Gain. This should avoid any smooth-brain AI goofs whilst still allowing you to meddle with other countries’ internal affairs to politically weaken them.

Compatability

This mod contains a lightweight script which runs at game start and once weekly. It is compatible with all other mods including mods which add new ideologies (though they will not have dynamic PP scaling)!
