This mod is all about improvements like new techs, units, equipment and events. My goal is to add more (historical) flavor and diversity to the game without spoiling the gameplay.

- New Artillery techs which enables new equipment and units
- New Infantry techs "Special Purpose Training", "Glider Infantry" and "Ski Warfare" which triggers country-specific events for new units with the choice of unlocking templates and units and deployment on the map.
