Presentation

Hello Everyone !

This mod adds more variety to state categories with various buffs and nerfs while also giving you the opportunity to develop your states to more desirables levels. This mod strives to make gameplay a bit more considerate and make you think about where you build your factories. Will you flock to your cities or develop far off regions for your state security (Or both ???) ?

Features

  • Added different fixes for all regions depending on their type, the difference between good and bad land will be even more dramatic, for example the USSR will put more effort into building Siberia and get less in return, while traditionally industrially developed regions will be more powerful.
  • Now you have the possibility to upgrade the state category of a state by use of on map decisions, giving you building slots that takes advantage of the "max factories in a state" bonus.
  • For the decision to show up you will have to research construction 1 and either dispersed or concentrated industries.
  • The cost of each state upgrade can vary from state to state with the lower state categories costing 50 pp 5 civilian factories and taking 70 days, and the top ones at 200 pp 20 factories and 300 days. State Modifiers are updated accordingly
  • For a state to be eligible it has to be a core, require a level of population and state infrastructure level 5. After completion 2 levels of infrastructure will be removed. You cannot upgrade states with the impassable modifier.
  • The state categories bonuses can be updated : I added a decision for the player to refresh the state modifiers every time you click on it, so lag is minized and you control the game more !
  • Made some cosmetic changes to state categories, namely by changing their colors and their names

Future Plans
  • Add different resistence effects depending on state categories
  • Add different population growth factors on state categories
  • If you have any suggestions on state categories, leave them in the comments !

DISCORD SERVER

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT :

Due to being very tired of picking up individual requests and wanting to centralize things a bit, I created a full discord server for my mod collection. I’ll be rarely answering to comments, especially bug reports and suggestions. You can do all that in the new discord here:
