Real Maginot Line

Description
Bored of having to play agains't axis with this maginot line ? That you must go to the defensive focus to get a decent protection. While the real maginot had fort at both Italian and Belgian borders.

Now with Real Maginot Line, play with a realistic maginot line for 1936 and 1939. You also get alternative history (like a really fortified french north or fort at the Spain border).

So what this mod add?
-Decisions to get the Maginot Line as it was in 1936 and 1939.
(Warning : 1936 is aviable only with 1936 start and 1939 with 1939 start. Those decisions only will erease every fort that was build before to avoid cheat)
-Decisions to construct the 1936 line into the 1939 line.
-Decisions to construct the Chauvineau line (Paris) and the Mareth line (Tunisia).
-Decisions to help czechoslovakia to construct their fort.
-Decisions, swiss can construct their own fort
-Decisions to destruct bridges (infrastructure) and slow down an ennemy invasion.
-Alternative History : Decisions to add aditionnal fort to the swiss, belgian and spain border, at djibouti and add AA-guns.
-AI will use the functions of the mod.

Also, note that fort have been added in belgium like real life, meaning that you don't have any more excuse to just abandon them to the germans.

Compability :
Because "Real Maginot Line" only use decisions to work, it should be able to work with any mod that do not change the world.
But if your mod change the date of start, half of the feature risk to not work, including decisions that make the line spawn.
As I know, the mod should be able to work if any version of the game. If not, try to go to the mod files, open "descriptor" and change "supported_version" to your version. If it still not work, try contact me.

Plan for the future :
-Make the mod compatible with "Road to 56" (compatible with the map)
-Make the mod compatible with "Rise Of Nation" (more decisions before 1936)
-Make the mod compatible with "The 30's" (don't remember the name of the mod >.<)

If you have suggestion, write them in the "Suggestion" forum under this.

I like the idea of the mod but it doesn't fit.
France has neither the factories nor the political power to spare for the maginot decisions.
Also reducing army xp which france already lacks is overkill. It makes France even easier to beat.

Besides that, the maginot 1939 decision is available when starting from 1936.

thank you for still updating this mod.

For anyone wondering/caring, I will work on keeping this mod functioning for the next update.
It will consist to remove fort added for Switserland, as the new DLC will already update those.

I really hope this mod is updated and also perhaps expanded to a series. Its my feeling that forts along with other things that have to do with a lot of steel like: tanks, battleships, rail guns etc., actually are one of the biggest draws for people with this hobby / interest. Maginot is the biggest and most impressive fort of this era, but there are also many others what could benefit greatly from some attention: Stalin Line(s), Sevastopol, various US Coastal Forts, Atlantic Wall etc.

Please make a version that only has the historical Forts in it. I don't want the AI to construct unhistorical Forts or other humans I'm playing against.

Thank you for this mod. Paradox should integrate it.

If there's still anyone who read this, the mod has been updated for the new 1.11.2 version!

@Blackburn , yes, fortifications at Belgium were not that big but there was at least some forts in the region, were in the game, there are absolutely zero forts.
Also consider that while france didn't extend to the English Channel, their plan was to rely on belgium wich had forts over the Meuse river (with still a big hole in the ardennes)
