Better Laws for Road to 56

In 1 collection by SassyCrissy
Better Laws Mods - Official Collection
14 items
Description
A mod that expands the rudimentary law system into a well connected, intriguing web of choices that are balanced and impactful but also friendly to role play.

Inspired by these mods:
  • Better Mechanics : Civilian and Military Laws
  • Better Government
  • Pax Brittanica
  • Millenium Dawn
  • TNO





Compatibility

Compatible with Discardpixel's RT56 RP

While Better Laws is compatible with Road to 56 on its own, this submod fixes the graphical issue shown above so that category icons show properly. In the future I might update this submod to include improvements such as AI weighting ( directions for the ai) for the sub-ideologies present in RT56, in a similar fashion to my Kaiserreich patch. Thus, I recommend having this on (or alternatively keeping an eye on when this mod updates) when playing with RT56 even if you don't care about visual glitches!

How does this mod differ from other alternatives like Better mechanics or Better Government ?
  • This mod is (compared to the other law mods out there) more balanced, additionally it uses the game's AI weight system to direct the AI to use policies based on their ideology and leaders instead of statically assigning policies at the start of the game to the AI.

  • While this may mean that the AI will need to spend more PP (Political Power) it also allows the game to be dynamic, with changes to countries' leadership being reflected in the laws. It also allows for newly released states to function correctly and with no issues.

  • Finally, this approach allows for small ideological differences to also be reflected through laws, as sub ideologies of the same group e.g (liberalism vs social democracy or marxism vs stalinism) will select different policies.

The AI has been tuned to be sensitive to changes in gameplay and pick laws accordingly.

Feedback regarding balance is extremely appreciated! Please leave a comment about even the most minuscule issue you have with this mod.


You can also help by giving this mod a thumbs up, an award, a favourite and/or by sharing it to other players!



Several icon elements were taken from The Ultimate HOI4 GFX repository[github.com]. My many thanks to the original artists and contributors! Credit to the PB team for assets that ( i think?) have their origin in PB.

Hey author
I suggest you remove all restrictions and conditions for the submod for Kaiserredux
because the given conditions that you made do not correspond to the madness of the mod
remove all conditions, give the players the freedom to set the laws they want

Error log complains about wrong idea for Industry Manufacturing

common/ideas/ip_economic_base.txt:216: has_idea: neutrality is not A valid Idea

Probably meant this to target the ideology?

Doesn't work at all, doesn't show up.

a weird question but it seems like the german ai is using all its pp on the Better Laws and not on their " economy of conquest " so their consumer goods stay high 24/7 early-mid to mid game. is there a way for you to make it that the gemrna ai prioritise those decisions of their economy before your laws?

@GarbatyZawodnik I had the same issue. It turns out that this mod requires the Better Laws and Policies mod (as is shown at the top of this workshop page), but the hoi launcher does not enforce that requirement, or even warn you about it. Just add the required mod and it should work. I also noticed that the default load order is alphabetical, which seems diabolic and insane to me.

Can you make this compatible with Road to 56 RP?

As stuff from "National character" and "Government Policies" are the same thing, and can stack to OP levels.
