Production Licenses Possible
Production licensing has never been made widely available. Only Romania and the Netherlands have focuses that make licenses easier to purchase.
This mod makes two changes:
Difference in technology -19
To license current tech, making it easier for nations with trade relations or shared ideology to trade technology.
Opinion bonus increased to +30
To give puppets and faction members access to more technology (50 bonus in total).
Other nations can also ask for designs sooner, when this is added to the +5 bonus for each year after the technology date.
I’ve tried to avoid incompatibility with mods that replace the defines file by putting this high in the load order.
The AI already produces tank varients to purchase but air/naval aren’t worth licensing. Here are some mods to correct that (they all have great compatibility):
Real Aircraft Mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1644541791
– unique planes for all the major nations
Spawn Historical Battleships (allies) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1794786185
– options to license modern ships from the UK and USA mid-late game (and to balance the Allies against Japanese Super Heavies)
Convertable Pre-Dreadnoughts https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1777023749
– useful for smaller naval powers to modernise their navy
After the Naval Race (1.7) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1846040721
– creates more ships to convert (maintains naval balance between nations)
