I’ll delete this if it gets updated.

OG description:

• Two custom made scenarios for you to play – one with 215 smaller nations, the other with 115 larger nations.
• New Generic Focus Tree for all nations.
• Expanded Tech Tree (WIP)
• Total laws and advisor system rework.
• Unit models.
• Plenty of custom game rule options – Make sure to check these out when playing, as this is a sandbox and
  therefore supposed to be played the way you want it.
• Sub-Ideology Icons.
• Ammunition production/consumption system.
• Dynamic flag system depending on your sub-ideology and country.
• Company expansion Decision System – Upgrade your equipment designers for greater bonuses.
• Military Academy Decision System – Train your military advisors from specialists to experts and geniuses.
• State Integration Decision System
• State Claiming Decision System
• Border Skirmish Decision System
• Equipment Variants
• More devestating nukes and nuclear sanitation.
• No AI puppet division spam as overlord.
• Some building changes.
• Slightly increased naval production.

Okay, so I realize I might be forgetting about half of the stuff that I’ve implemented, but this list will suffice for now as it contains the most significant features…

Compatability
This mod is large and edits many vanilla files. Compatability is severely limited. I do however recommed playing with whatever the latest version of the Toolpack mod is, as well as the State Transfer Tool. I guess it’s also worth mentioning that I only playtest the mod with all DLCs activated.
