France Balance of Power

Description
This mod adds a balance of power to France, between communist and democratic (if you complete the Popular Front focus), or between the fascist/authoritarians and democratic (if you complete the National Bloc focus).

Le mod est disponible en français, c'est à vous de choisir le destin de la France, entre monarchie ou république, régime démocratique ou autoritaire.

If you want to translate the mod, I'd happily add it to the mod!

I've added some decisions/events/ideas and changed the vanilla French focus tree to make the BoP work, I've also added some small changes here and there because vanilla France is annoying to play.

I would like to add another set of BoPs, one for communism and the other for authoritarian/fascism but I don't have enough ideas to make them good. I'm open to any suggestions, so make sure to leave a comment.

The mod is not ironman compatible, and it maybe requires LaR and BBA. If you don't have these DLCs, I have a mod that doesn't require them but still makes France less annoying to play:

@ParodyIsParody Historical is fine but the AI has issues with changing ideology, monarchy is fine afaik because it gets a modifier that changes the balance of power weekly

Does this work properly with ai?

The mod was updated for 1.13; if you have any issue, let me know!

@Eq Thanks

@AniolCJ In this mod the balance of power is created after you select one of the 2 initial political focuses.

If you mean in term of modding then it's somewhat complicated, you need:
- a definiton file (ex: bop_france.txt) that has each bop and each sides and the modfiers for each ranges.
- a decision category file (ex: FRA_bop_decision_categories.txt) that has categories for the bop decisions.
- a decision file (ex: FRA_balance_of_power_decisions.txt) that has the decisions for the bop divided by categories.
- a localisation file (ex: FRA_bop_l_english.yml) that has the actual english (like 'Praise the Army') instead of the computer language (like 'praise_army_bop1').

There are others things you'll need if you want to make a balance of power that is comparable to the vanilla ones but these are the requirements. You can look at the files in my mod to understand it (should be in SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2952002814).

how you create the balance power?

@Dominic I don't know if there's really a point in making a BoP for the US, they already have a Congress mechanic and a somewhat decent way of changing ideology.
France has no democratic mechanics and changing ideology only take a couple of focuses, that's why I think a BoP mod is good for them (especially since their democratic side are coalitions).
