Indian Missions Expanded by Willowman69

Description
This mod has been put on the back-burner and may not get any more updates for a while, I can't say for sure when I'll return to it.

Why this mod exists: The reason for this mod’s existence is because I enjoy the mechanics of mission trees, but I always felt that they’re a bit bland in India, and considering it’s probably going to be years before Paradox actually gets around to India again, I decided to have a go at making them a bit more interesting.

To be on the safe side I would recommend having all the DLC's. This mod should work on the most recent version of the game with all DLC's.

If there are any issues let me know and I will fix them when I get the time.

With the needless preamble out of the way.
Nations who have had their mission trees changed are:

By region:
South East Asia- New Missions for Dai Viet, keeps in theme mostly with the vanilla tree but I have tweaked a few things here and there. A few tweaks for Ayutthaya as well

For India:
New Missions tree for Jaunpur which is in progress

Punjab and Sirhind:

Sirhind gets new missions, which in the early game focuses on breaking free from Delhi which gives you a temporary bonus to make further conquest easier, or if you are defensively minded it can help here too. Then the missions open up for conquering the rest of India. The option is still available to form Delhi if you like and use their mission tree which is largely unchanged as of the time of writing this. However the real interesting changes are with Punjab.

Punjab: New missions for conquering India. New events around the Sikh religion (still in testing phase)
They get a mission for improving relations with Persia which eventually leads to a mission which unlocks the Qizilbash estate (currently bugged), this is a place holder for the time being while I work out how to make a new unit which will be the Misls Cavalry unit which was inspired by real world history. There are missions in there around trade and development.


Nepal and Nepalese Princedom: (Unique mercenary company for Nepal is not working, will attempt to fix it soon. Additionally there is an Issue with slot 5 missions, I have placed some dummy missions for the time being while I think of replacements)

New government type for Nepal: Borrows elements from the Prussian Monarchy and Military Dictatorship government types with different modifiers. (Should be fixed in next update when I get around to uploading it)
A quick description of the mission tree: In the early game your task is to unify the Nepal area and then further push into Tibet, then build up an army to take on Bengal and then eventually conquer the rest of India from there with a mission to create Punjab as a march, and Deccan as a vassal. There are some missions in there around conquering China and taking the Mandate, as well as conquering Persia and fighting the Ottomans.

Mewar- The mission tree is mostly the same except I have changed some modifiers to make them feel more noteworthy and to help them punch a little bit more above their weight. This is not historically accurate (mostly) but personally I really like the nation and their existing mission tree, so I expanded upon it.
Some of the mission rewards are centred around acquiring more Rajput regiments and making them stronger, as well as improving their cavalry and making them cheaper, and just conquering western India, improving your trade and the gold mine in Mewar (later renamed to Udaipur)
Jewar Silver mine is bugged, I have reverted it back to vanilla for the next upload whenever I get around to it.

Rajputana- Entirely new mission tree. They also have updated national ideas.
I’ve added some missions around making Japan a subject and improving relations with Korea to further improve upon artillery strength and siege ability. Added missions for improving combat ability and getting lots of Rajputs.
As well as some missions around conquering Nepal and Tibet and a mechanic related to inviting the Dalai Lama to your country which gives you some strong effects, like a free extra golden era and extending the lifespan and abilities of your rulers. Pair that with staying as Hindu and not converting to Sikhism and you get some really strong monarchs for a long time. Furthermore, I have added some missions around taking certain idea groups which is intended to make them less awful but also to make Rajputana feel more unique in a way.
There is also a chain of missions around conquering Burma, Indo-china and eventually China itself and claiming the Mandate of Heaven from Ming or whoever else has it.
Not to mention Elephants, and also diamonds.


Bharat/Hindustan (Still a work in progress, taking a break from them to work on other nations) - Similarly to Mewar and Rajputana, I will make separate missions trees for them but for the time being it is just an overhaul/expansion. Long story short is that the missions here are centred around pushing for making a global Indian Empire. This is in part inspired by the Sun Never Sets achievement.
Mughals – Changes removed in next update since Winds of Change alters the existing mission tree.
Bengal – The changes here are mainly inspired by trying to make AI Bengal focus more on India, because in every game I see them try to conquer Burma which is a bit silly because historically Bengal went west not east, but anyway. The changes to the mission tree are to make the requirement for unlocking the mission to conquer Burma be harder and require them to have a large portion of India first. Again, some play testing needed here to help with balancing.
Bahmanis – The changes here are minor and just tweak a few bonuses here and there and give some interesting bonuses for conquering Persia.
Orissa- some minor changes here too, almost not worth mentioning right now. More to come


Planned changes:
New missions for the rest of most of India. Vijayanagar, Bahmanis, Jaunpur and Orissa changes are in progress
A unique unit for Punjab as well as a new mission tree. (The mission tree here is mostly done, I'm just play testing at the moment and should have an update live at some stage)
New Sikh religion mechanics centred around the Gurus.
New missions for areas around India, for instance the Spice Islands and nations in Indochina.

Found a bug with Mewars mission tree "Jawar Silver Mine", despite having all the requirements the mission doesn't grant its rewards and can be "completed" several times in a row.
