TNO: Custom Country Paths (HAS BEEN INTEGRATED)

NOTICE
This submod has been integrated into the main TNO mod as of v1.3.0 “Toolbox Theory - Unfinished Business”.

(Updated to TNO version v1.2.1a - “Toolbox Theory NSB Patch”)


We, like many others, had been waiting quite some time for someone to step forth and develop a Custom Country Paths mod for The New Order, to no avail. So we decided to make it ourselves.

It just makes sense; the path that one nation takes, especially when interacting with others, has the potential to greatly change the shape of the entire world, and in fact, some nations might entirely depend on it to determine whether they have a prosperous ending, or one where they royally screw themselves over.

We're generally not fans of RNG-driven gameplay elements, so the whole idea of the potential fate of the game's world being completely up to random chance doesn't sit well with us.

Not to forget mentioning how TNO is a very narrative-heavy mod, where the paths different countries can take and how they interact with each other will drastically change the course of the mod's story. We think it's only fair that the player should have some control over what direction the story takes, if not only for roleplay's sake.


It all started when nobody seemed willing to develop such a mod, so Tadpole decided to step forth and pick up the mantle.

Sadly, she didn’t consider herself the best person to handle the development of such a colossal mod - she doesn’t consider her programming and code-reading skills to be very good, but she still felt it was better to submit what little she could manage to accomplish and have people enjoy it rather than hold onto it and not share it with the rest of the community.

Whilst she could never personally bring herself to play as any other nation than Buryatia and the Siberian Black Army because they were her favorite nations to play and couldn’t fathom the idea of them being driven down the gutter by random chance and the AI’s stupidity, having a way to ensure her favorite nation’s paths remained blessed put her at ease whilst playing other countries.
We don’t doubt that there may be other people who feel the same way.

Due to the word limit for the steam workshop. This list cannot be fully updated. There is a full list on the discord.

This submod has a Discord. Click here to access the server![discord.com]

Following the mod’s open source nature, it has its own GitHub repository. It will likely be updated more frequently than the Workshop version. Feel free to download the mod from there, here![github.com]

• Not all of the country paths may function as intended. TNO’s gameplay mechanics are extremely fickle and delicate, especially whenever TNO itself gets updated. TNO updates will likely cause problems so its recommended to wait for the submod to update before using it.
  
  
• Utilizing other submods may cause issues such as country paths not working due to a lack of compatibility, should they make changes to the same files. This will be likely if other submods make changes to a country that already has a country path here.
  
  
• For the Operation Deep Freeze submod. There is a compatibility submod which reconciles the overlapping file and adds a few game rules relating to its content https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2722295578
