Unique Generic Nations [1.15]

Description
Overview

This mod adds a multiple-choice event chain at the start of the game, from which you can add a wide selection of ideas, buffs, units, technologies, debuffs, flying mechanized equipment, and more! The player gets the option to decide who gets the event chain (everyone, minor powers only, player only, or everyone but the player).

Overview, but in more detail

The event chain consists of (roughly) 3 parts:

- General nation history

- Army

- Air or Navy (or both)

every section has at least 12+ different options, with plenty of hidden or extra options. Due to the option limit in event modding, a section will start with a general question with four different options. Each option will have its own event where the actual buffs/debuffs and so on are stored.

The mod is primarily made to work with overhaul mods like Random Country Placement , where every nation is more or less stripped of character and uniqueness, but works perfectly fine in regular hoi4.

It's a bit difficult to list every option available, so I hope the screenshots will give you a general idea of what's going on.

Note: Almost all of the options that add debuffs can be fixed through decisions. They're fairly simple, and take a while to get done. However, you will end up with your debuff turned into a buff.

DLC

I've added the Man the Guns requirement due to some of the boat-related events using the MtG ship designing system. It will still work without it, but any boat-related events will probably be broken.

However, the game both works with and without By Blood Alone. This mod uses the BBA plane designer system, but if you don't have the DLC, the mod will just give you normal planes instead.

oh also I don't have the three newest DLCs so I don't know if any of those break anything, but it *should* be fine.

Bugs/Issues

- The decisions included in this mod don't have working icons for some reason. I swear, decision gfx is my worst enemy.

- with some options, there is a 1-day delay until the next event pops up. This is normal, but might get phased out eventually.

Extra

The events in this mod have the ID "uniqueness". If you type in "event uniqueness.1" in the console, you trigger the starting event shown in the first screenshot. Could be handy if you want to look through all the choices.

yes that makes sense i just want to create wacky countries with diffenert modifiers just for the craziness thank you for the event id :)

@XxlonewolfxX
the option won't appear again if you already have a national spirit from the semi-hidden events. I did this because the hidden event chain gives you the option to go back to the *very* beginning, and so allowing the player to get into a big loop of options could maybe be a bit tooooo strong.
(but you *can* re-trigger the semi-hidden event with the id "uniqueness.21" :) )
(also I believe either the manpower event chain doesn't give you national spirits, which should technically allow you to go through the hidden events twice without any console trickery)

I'm not sure if there's any easy way to get that implemented (and it's kinda supposed to be random), but if you're in debug mode, you should be able to re-trigger the popup events, or find the IDs for the individual national spirits and give them to yourself through the console, if that's what you're looking for.
