Advanced Difficulty Settings

Description
This is a difficulty customisation interface that gives you various ways to buff the AI. How is it different from the vanilla difficulty settings?
  • You can change these settings any any point during your campaign to make things easier or harder as you see fit.
  • There are several different types of difficulty modes to choose from: several types dynamic settings that selectively buff AI countries based on circumstances and country settings that set difficulty modes for specific countries.
  • Every AI country in the game can be configured.
  • These buffs focus mostly on the AI's industry and give them much higher bonuses than the vanilla settings. There are no negative modifiers for the player and no buffs to the AI's units.

Information:
  • This is a light version of the configuration interface in Expert AI 4.0. This does not (and will not) include all the functions of the main version nor should this be used while Expert AI is enabled.
  • The configuration window is opened from the top-right button or with the
    shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-O.
  • Does it improve the AI? No, use Expert AI for that.

Compatibility:
  • This mod does not edit any of the HOI4 files so it should not conflict with any other mod. However, some difficulty settings may not work properly with overhaul mods that completely change the equipment files.
  • Not achievement compatible.
  • Multiplayer compatible.

Other mods:
-Expert AI 4.0
-Allied Construction Projects
-Strategic View Adjustments

Not sure if there is a incompatibility but surrender limite doesnt work properly. When i changed it for a specific country, it also changes the value for all the other countries. Also, I would like to ask, is there a way to add naval bonuses like the expert ai menu? There are more options that doesnt exist on this mod.

@Nuri, this mod used to work perfectly by setting the difficulty across the board.

Just a FYI, to get the national spirit, you have to enable the buff on the AI first. The first menu is adjacent nations to the player only, then when you select the AI nation, you have to set their Buff to something other than the default, then that's when you will see the national spirit after you re-select the nation.

This mod is a "light" version of Expert AI 4.0 which states that it doesn't work with "95%" of the mods, so I'd imagine you probably managed to get one of those 95%.

I tested the mod standalone and it works as intended.

As for modded, I don't use the super popular ones like MD, Road to 56, Kaiser, etc; so I can't vouch for those.

Just verified, this mod is no longer working unfortunately. It will work when selecting the specific nations but will not work with a blanket policy for all nations at war with the player.

Oddly enough, this isn't even displaying a national spirit anymore, not sure why that is.

Update:

This mod seems to have a UI conflict with Better Mechanics: Frontline AI

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2984937408

Essentially the ADS mod's Ctrl+Shft+O Menu has a button that can apply all to selected Nations, but when installed with the Frontline AI mod, the button and the numbers from the sub menu disappear from the ADS mod (When Ctrl+Shift+O again with a selected nation for a personalized buff to that nation).

Doesn't break either mod (Not that I know of) but it does cause a hassle for the UI.

Just posting this here for anyone who seems to use both the mods noted

The mod still works, if you see the National Spirit, you can see all the modifications; it is just the menu does not show the values. You'd have to eyeball the national spirit to see what is being changed lol

Not exactly sure why this isn't working, all I know is that it isn't. I cannot adjust or interact with any settings.
