The Road to 56
This Mod is the ANZAC Rework Mod that only changes:
The "history" files for AST and NZL ("AST – Australia" and "NZL – New Zealand")
The "national focus" files for AST and NZL
The "character" files for AST and NZL
The "events" files "TFV_Australia" and "TFV_New_Zealand"
The "ai_strategy_plan" files for AST and NZL
The ideas files "australia" and "new zealand"
The MIO files for AST and NZL
The idea is to be more compatible with other mods that may change the states, map, or other national focus mods.
This mod will not be compatible with game overhaul alt-hist mods like KRX and Red Flood. The focuses are based on the historical setting start date of 1936.
This means it has:
No map changes
No new states
Incorrect starting ideas displayed in country selection menu
No ability to choose a specific national focus path for AST or NZL to take in the AI Behavior menu (you can still choose which ideology to pursue)
All the base game default MIOs (I would need to change the generic mio file would could interfere with other mods that change that file)
A vanilla style rework to Australia and New Zealand
125+ New Focuses for Australian National Focus Tree, doubling the focus amount
100+ New Focuses for New Zealand National Focus Tree, tripling the focus amount
Over 200 new National Spirits
Over 100 new Characters between both countries
Over 150 new Events, including election content until 1949
25+ new Decisions
Australia Highlights:
1940 Canberra Air Disaster and numerous other historical events
Jack Lang and Country Party as neutrality paths (with a hidden King Edward monarchist path)
Northern Territory / Top End focus tree based around policy toward Aboriginal people
New Zealand Highlights:
Auckland made its own state so NZL has 3 core states at game start
Rivers and Lake Taupo added
Can choose to focus on Navy, Land, or Air after going through beginning of military tree with significant bonuses in each branch
All original focuses remain, although some have been moved to different paths based on historicity
New focus icons for many of the original focuses
New Australasian formable available to Australia and New Zealand via focus in certain branches
Reworked some pacific islands to have more accurate colonial administration and population sizes and more reasonable cores.
All political paths reworked, with 12 more paths in the Australian National Focus Tree than base game, and 5 more paths in the New Zealand National Focus Tree than base game.
Australian Paths:
-Fight for the Commonwealth as a loyal Dominion in the historical path led by Labor, the UAP, or the Country party if the 1937 election does not produced a majority for either the UAP or Labor.
-Break away from the Commonwealth but maintain Democracy, led by Labor or the UAP from which you can Rejoin the Allies (UAP), Join the Americans (UAP), or form the South West Pacific Initiative (any)
-Break away from the Commonwealth and turn to Neutrality under the Country Party or Jack Lang from which you can Rejoin the Allies (Country), Join the Americans (Country), form the South West Pacific Initiative (any), or Join the Mexicans (Jack Lang)
-Support the Centre Party as the UAP, leading to a Putsch by the New Guard, the Centre Party’s paramilitary force, and the installation of a Fascist regime under Eric Campbell, from which you can Join the Germans, Join the British, Go it Alone, or Establish the Kingdom of Australia and eventually revive the British Empire from Canberra (or coup the Centralist regime with enough support).
-Support the Centre Party as the UAP, but this time William John Miles, leader of the Jindyworobak movement, leads his followers to march on Canberra and install him as the leader of a Fascist Jindyworobak regime, from which you can Join the Japanese, Join the Germans, or Go it Alone.
-Empower the workers as Labor and establish the People’s Republic of Australia from which you can to Join the Comintern under Richard Dixon or Jack Miles, Join the British under Richard Dixon, or establish a Workers Paradise under Fred Paterson.
New Zealand Paths:
-Fight for the Commonwealth as a loyal Dominion in the historical path led by Labour or National
-Break away from the Commonwealth but maintain Democracy, led by Labour or National, from which you can join the Americans, become a neutral Beacon of Democracy, or form the Pacific Alliance.
-Empower the far right as the Nationals by appointing Albert Davy which leads to the New Zealand Legion organizing into a coherent poltical party and taking over New Zealand, turning it into a Fascist Regime under the reluctant John Ormond from which you can Join the Japanese or Go it Alone.
-Empower the far left as Labour by appointing John A. Lee which leads to the CPNZ (when in power the CPA) taking over New Zealand and renaming it Aoteroa, turning it into a Communist Regime under Elsie Farrelly, with choice to change to Jack Locke after you are independent, from which you can Join the Comintern (Locke) or Champion the Peace Movement (Farrelly), Join the British (either), or form the Pacific Communist Altermative (if there is a Pacific Communist faction to join you will request to join it instead).
-Take advantage of instability in New Zealand to overthrow the Pakeha and establish a Maori Kingdom under Koroki, from which you can ally the Japanese, the Ethiopians, return to the Allies, or try to conquer the entire Pacific yourself. (THIS PATH CANNOT BE TAKEN BY THE AI)
