*Reworked Qing (Great War Redux Submod) v2.0

Description
HOW TO USE: The mod is still playable!! You must use the OUTDATED version of The Great War Redux as listed on the side as a requirement. Also, reset your game to Hearts of Iron 4 v.1.14 in order to play (Right click Hearts of Iron 4, click Properties, Betas, and choose 1.14). Enjoy!



This mod is meant to edit the Qing Dynasty focus tree in The Great War Redux Mod to be more entertaining and expansive. While it may not be 100% historically accurate (although it sticks pretty close to history), I hope it is a fun experience.

As Qing, you will work to try to balance the bickering of various factions, avoid and sometimes fight rebellions, and attempt to survive and keep China together. IT WILL BE HARD! :)

- Arms against Tyranny Compatible
- Compatible for multiplayer!
- 中文: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2915286017


FEATURES:
- Complete Focus tree for the Qing Dynasty
- Lots of events to get the true history and disasterous circumstances of the late Qing Dynasty
- Lots of decisions to make through events, timing, and decisions. No complex GUI's.
- Decide who you want to lead China (Kang Youwei (Qing Loyalist), Qing, democratic Qing, a republic, Yuan Shikai, or more?)
- Deal with revolutions and fight to keep the country together until the Great War gives you some breathing room
- Delay or prevent the Xinhai Revolution either with reforms, propaganda, or sabotaging the tongmenghui. Or all!
- Decisions to balance Yuan Shikai's influence, while also not sacrificing too much reserved for reform.
- Take advantage of the great war to take land from the European Powers
- Educate the emperor to be a fit leader for your Empire
- Weigh the choices of allying or contesting with Japan, and the pros and cons of each
- Decide what to do with Korea when you get hold of it
- Flexible deals with foreign powers, trading land or power for them lifting restrictions. Furthur possibilities to demand end to restrictions when powerful enough
- Endgame focus tree with industrial, research, and military bonuses named after Chinese Zodiac, and postwar content!

COMPATIBILITY:
Any mod that is compatible with The Great War Redux and is not too big of a submod should be compatible!

CREDIT:
-The Great War Redux Mod (Base Mod)
- Pwn3r1
- BlazzingBlizzard
- Spinoplayz
I used focuses and materials from:
-Korea Dev
-China Dev Team
-Many other Great War Redux devs

NOTES: Because of common GWR updates, sometimes when I update the submod to be compatible with those save games after updates will be no longer accessible. Additionally, it is highly recommended to play Qing with this mod and not democratic China with this on, this mod is meant for Qing and democratic China may have some bugs with this mod on.

Gameplay Advice: Refer here if you aren't sure what to do.


-Political power must be used very strategically, and make sure not to waste it on anything.
You must also read the decisions early:
- You have to use the Beiyang army to get PP through those decisions, and then use the political power to get rid of court opposition
- As long as you have political power, there is a decision to quickly remove court opposition
- Boxer protocol is removed through decisions if you go down independent recovery. It says this in the focus's description.
Lastly, it is very important to plan ahead early:
- Focus on getting rid of the Political Power negatives,
- Taking focuses that give lots of court opposition and then taking focuses that aren't blocked by court opposition only in the meantime
- Make sure not waste any bonuses. Remember to read decisions and their effects.
POLITICAL PATHS: Kang Youwei(Monarchist Socialist), Reformed Qing(Qing with reforms), Peaceful Republican Transition.

Just an update to let you guys know I have read your comments!

I also am revealing that I have been working on a very ambitious project over the past year, I'm not going to reveal any of the details yet except that it is its own game but if you appreciate the quality and goals of this submod, I think you will like it :)

As other have requested an update would be most appreciated. Now that Paradox have done their post-DLC emergency patching up, it would be timely to also update this mod.
