The Agency + Equestria

A version of the Espionage Rework mod "The Agency" designed to work with the Mod "Equestria At War"

-The Agency-
A full rework of the HOI4’s Espionage system

• Larger Pool of Operatives
• More Opportunities to Gain Operatives
• Re-worked Agency Upgrade System
• New Operative Traits

Wasn’t really happy with how the espionage system turned out. Always seamed it lacked effectiveness, too much effort for too little gain. The limited number of operatives available, the crippling effect of having one captured or injured early on, and the grueling work needed to build an agency in any way worthwhile, made the ‘Spy’ system come across as a bit ‘Lackluster.’

This mod is a major re-write of the espionage system. An attempt to make it something more than a ‘Trivial Waste" or a ‘Useless Time Sink.’ That said, allot of effort was put into making these changes balanced and fair, nothing should be too overpowered and the AI has also been modded to use the new agency system effectively.

Several other members of the community, and one member of the Equestia At War modding community in particular, who have offered help and support but wish to remain autonomous.

You guys are awesome, thank you.

A: Sure! Be my guest. All I ask is that you 1. credit me in your mod and 2. send me a friend request, then Message me via Steam chat to let me know, I would love to see your work.

A: This is basically done at this point. If new opportunities come by with future DLC or some other improvement strikes my fancy, I may come back to this. But other than general bug fixes and future DLC comparability updates, this should be the last content release.

A: Don’t know. Make any suggestions in the discussion section below. If I spot one I like I just may do that.
