Pre-emptive Airstrikes

Description
You ever wanted to strike your enemies from above before advancing with your main army? Now you can do it, with a click on a button.

-------------------

This mod is WIP, so some things might change over time. Also I'm quite new into modding these kind of files, so feel free to let me know about problems that occur.

-------------------

How to use:

A new army leader ability called "Request Airstrikes" is added to the game which you can use with command power. If you attack with your divisions while this ability is active, you won't lose entranchement and always draw a new tactic card with which you and your enemy won't take damage from each other and only your CAS is doing work. Also note that you'll now need at minimum 12 Divisions in an army to access this leader ability.

-------------------

Compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn't access the combat_tactics.txt file.

-------------------

Update 09/08/21:
- Compatibility problems now should be solved
- Airstrike ability now lasts 14 days
- Russian and German Translation now available

Update 07/08/21:
- Airstrike ability now lasts 7 days but can be cancelled at any time if you need to
- Airstrike ability now is more expensive (from 0.1 to 0.2 CP cost for each battalion)

FYI, just did a compatibility check w the new NSB DLC 1.11.1. It does not seem to be working. I concur w @ ОСП SS comments and suspect this is why your mod is no longer working. I hope you get this excellent mod back up and running.

Hey, would it be alright if I put this in my mod? I'll make sure to credit you and everything

Ever heard of close air support? This already exists.

I put this as an information in the description, so everyone notices that.

Thank you sir, that's actually some good response for me. I'm quite new into modding these files, I'll try to change that in a future update.

This modification rewrites the vanilla files:
generic_leader_abilities.txt
modifier_definitions.txt (although it is only for modders)
00_scripted_triggers.txt
00_traits.txt
combat_tactics.txt

abilities_l_english.yml
modifiers_l_english.yml
tactics_l_english.yml

which makes it very difficult to use with other mods that rewrite these files. For the author, I highly recommend not to rewrite these files, and create exactly mods, which used other names, such as "leader_airstrike_mod.txt" and others. About "combat_tactics.txt" I do not know - did not dig in this direction.

Is this compatible with most other mods?
