The Agency + Millennium Dawn (Pre 1.11)

This version predates the Barbarossa DLC and does not account for any of the changes introduced by the version of Millennium Dawn introduced to account for it. A new version of this will become available once the most recent Agency release comes out of Bata.

A version of the Espionage Rework mod "The Agency" designed to work with the "Millennium Dawn" Overhaul mod

-The Agency-
A partial rework of the HOI4's Espionage system

• Larger Pool of Operatives
  
• More Opportunities to Gain Operatives
  
• New Operative Traits
  
• Various Espionage Re-Balance

---

Note - this mod requires the mod Millennium Dawn in order to work.

It does NOT however, require The Agency as this mod completely replaces it.

If you are looking for the vanilla version of this mod, you can find it {here}


I (and from what I can tell many players) was never really happy with how the espionage system turned out. Always seamed it lacked effectiveness, too much effort for too little gain. Always seemed the limited number of operatives available, the crippling effect of having one captured or injured early on, and the grueling work needed to build an agency in any way worthwhile, made the 'Spy' system for HOI4 come across as 'Lackluster.'

This mod is a major re-write of the espionage system. An attempt to make Espionage something more than a 'Trivial Waste" or a 'Useless Time Sink.' That said, allot of effort was put into making these changes balanced and fair, nothing should be too overpowered and the AI has also been modded to use the new agency system effectively.

Are based on figures prominent in the 1940's and not appropriate to this setting, and have been therefore removed.
The original version of "The Agency" includes a full re-work of the Branch upgrade system. As Millennium Dawn already does this to a satisfactory degree. Those changes are not included.
"The Agency" both adds and alters much of the operations system. These changes are NOT included as it was deemed that doing otherwise would interfere with the proper operation of "Millennium Dawn"

A: Sure! Be my guest. All I ask is that you 1. credit me in your mod and 2. send me a friend request, then Message me via Steam chat to let me know, I would love to see your work.
A: This is basically done at this point. If new opportunities come by with future DLC or some other improvement strikes my fancy, I may come back to this. But other than general bug fixes and future DLC comparability updates, this should be the last content release.
A: Its doubtful, but possible. If i stumble across a fix for something, or find one really needs fixing, then I'll knock it out as opportunity permits.
A: Don't know. Make any suggestions below. If I spot one I like I just may do that.
