Summary

This mod reworks USA and makes it into the Arsenal of Democracy when it goes to war. It gradually enables an increase in production efficiency as the war progresses for land/sea/air vehicles and equipment. Adds several new technologies and units which I felt was lacking in the base game. Reworks the national focus tree adding many new focuses while also adding flavor names and equipment.

It is not made with balance as a primary focus, but to reflect the industrial might of the US after its entry into WW2, while also adding units which I found lacking in the base game. It also adds flavor and changes the dynamic of the game. As the balance haven’t been a primary focus when creating the mod, your feedback on the new units is greatly appreciated!

Compatibility

The mod changes many of the files directly related to USAs national focus tree, ideas and starting technology. It also adds technology to the armor, infantry, and artillery branches. While many of them don’t modify the original files, some do so other mods who directly add or modify the same files may cause compatibility problems.

If you find any bugs or problems leave a comment and I will do what I can to fix or correct the problem.
