Description:
This is an early experimental submod for Black ICE. Its primary purpose is to test the moddability of Black ICE code. Most changes focus on new BICE mechanisms and fixing legacy bugs related to East Asian countries.

Another goal of this project is to map out the logic and connections within the Black ICE codebase; I have included extensive comments within the files. For fellow modders looking to tweak BICE or create their own independent submods, this project should serve as a valuable reference.

To improve code stability, features are being gradually split into independent submods. (It is recommended to subscribe to this main mod first, then choose from the following):
Black ICE: NRA Tank Technology Black ICE: NRA Armored Car Technology
Black ICE: Republic of China Military Organizations Expansion
Black ICE: East Asia Naval Expansion
Black ICE : Korean Peninsula Expansion

Due to limited development time and energy, I currently do not plan on making major overhauls or adding entirely new mechanics, focus trees, or events.

Other Important Notes

A new save game is highly recommended; otherwise, some updates may not take effect. This mod may be updated irregularly. If you encounter a "Red Exclamation Mark" on an old save (indicating the mod is not loaded), please delete all files in the C:Users[Your Username]DocumentsParadox InteractiveHearts of Iron IV folder and restart the Paradox launcher to reload the mod files. It is recommended to disable autosave and avoid using other high-intensity AI or overhaul mods simultaneously to prevent crashes or corrupted saves.
