America At War | An American Rework

Description
America At War is an overhaul for the United States built from the ground up with immersion, flexibility and a vanilla-like experience in mind. The military part of the national focus tree has been completely overhauled while some changes have been made to the existing tree. Much more is planned including additional work on the national focus tree, new designers, new events, new generals and more, but I've reached a point where I'd like to get player feedback on the work so far.

Inspiration is taken from work on my Hearts of Iron III mod, Realistic Progression Mod (props to jasonf for continuing the work in HOI3/HOI4), and Kaiserreich's American tree.

Current Features Summary:

  • Completely redesigned military section of the USA national focuses with unique ideas and icons
  • Completely redesigned political tree for the USA national tree
  • Changes to existing focuses (no more every focus taking 70 days!)
  • Changes to the Great Depression national spirits (harsher starting out, no more American juggernaut by 1938)
  • New generals and admirals

The new military focuses aren't ideology bound, so if you decide to deviate from the historical path you can still benefit.

Current Mod Version: 0.2.61
Current Version Supported: 1.16.6

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with any mod that isn't a total conversion or doesn't change the United States files. I use a ton of mods myself and haven't had any issues. The most common reported issue is with advisors or MIOs not working properly. If you experience this, it's likely due to a mod conflict.

Confirmed Mod Conflicts:
  • UTTNH_2.0 makes changes to the USA MIOs. If you use this mod with UTTNH_2.0, MIOs won't work or may not function as intended. As a workaround, you can go into the files for UTTNH_2.0 and simply delete the USA_organization.txt from \common\military_industrial_organization\organizations. I've been doing this myself when playing that mod. I may make a compatibility patch in the future if possible.
  • Expert AI doesn't work with AAW. It may work if you delete the USA files in that mod, but I haven't tested this.

Note this mod was made with all DLC activated, but I don't believe any are required.

Definitely not achievement compatible.

Usage

You can use assets from the mod as long as you ask for permission and give credit however you can not take everything from our mod and upload it. It must be a unique project.

@erintumbarello Definitely not. They have their own overhaul of the US.

Hello, can i take some focuses and icons for my mods?

As a heads up, I will likely be out of town when the next patch hits, but there shouldn't be any compatibility issues. You should be able to use the current version without issue. I'll double check and update likely Monday.

Next major update will focus on the alt-history paths, but there may be a few smaller updates before then.

Sweet!

@Hugeball I'll definitely take that into consideration! The military part of the tree is my current focus, but adding more to the alt-history paths is after.

Superb. Absolutely superb!
One thing, you may wish to add more leaders to the Fascist path.

Pelley was a lunatic with an insignificant movement.
Charles Lindbergh is a celebrity sure, but also very, very young.

I would recommend adding General Patton. He was popular, the image of a cowboy. High ranking officer. Awards from WW1. He put down the Bonus Army, but respected their plight and did not agree with how MacArthur handled it.
He is also basically part of the American "Aristocracy", so it makes a great deal of sense.

And if you want a little touch from Kaiserreich, making George Van Horn Moseley does make a touch of sense too.


Also, Fascist US should probably still retain the original name. Or give us a choice to keep it. But the most likely thing is for the name of the country to remain the same.

@BloodandDeath52 Just double checked and it works. You have a mod conflict. Anything that changes advisors or MIOs doesn't work with the mod.

Its really odd because it does add 2 levels, its just theres no way to actually use them.
