Brave New World

This modification of "The German Question" holds sentimental value and I have decided to share my creation with you! (see the discussion page below for a story) My goal is to provide the player with a more enriching Making History 2 experience through optimised research flow, new art assets, new music to listen to, new unit concepts and features for game longevity.

***Some updates might affect your saved game, you play this scenario acknowledging this***

---

• Over 90 minutes of new music (old music would always put me to sleep, HA!)
  
• Artillery can now bombard industry and infrastructure of adjacent regions (balanced Arms cost)
  
• Major changes to research system including new buildings such as the Public School, changes to existing buildings and a new research tree with more linear dependencies.
  
• Research Academies no longer require a University and now provide a small boost to research themselves.
  
• Added "Nuclear Power Plant". Requires Uranium Enrichment research project and when built passively generates $25M/turn.
  
• Added "Nuclear Carrier". A new top tier unit for the Carrier Class. Requires "Uranium Enrichment" research project and is capable of being out to sea for unlimited turns without needing to be refuelled.
  
• Added "Nuclear Submarine". A new top tier unit for the Submarine Class. Requires "Uranium Fission" research project and is capable of being out to sea for unlimited turns without needing to be refuelled.
  
• Added "Coal Plant" and "Recycling Center". When built will allow the conversion of excess MPUs into Coal and Metal resources respectively.
  
• Added "Mill" for 1 IPU cities to establish industries faster. A Mill will enable the "Bake Bread" factory work order which is best used when food stocks are low but not yet depleted. Only one allowed per city - can be upgraded into Mechanized Factory once city becomes more developed.
  
• Effectively no turn limit. (technically there is but if you reach it PLEASE tell me :P)
  
• Added "Early Anti-Air Guns" and "SAMs". The first units of a new mobile anti-air class.
  
• Added "Torpedo Dive Bombers" a new carrier wing with critical hit capability.
  
• "Land Clearing" resource project added. Adds an additional farm slot to any region. Requires Farm Mechanization research.
  
• Added "Light Glider". Air recon unit identical to the observation blimp, slightly more expensive to build. (Role may change in future)
  
• Medical Centre MPU bonus has been doubled from 10% to 20%.
  
• Major changes to unit upgrade tracks. Not only to aid the AI, but also to encourage the use of lower tiered units throughout the early war.
• Balanced/Modified MPU cost, $-upkeep and transport weight for nearly all military units.
  
• Units no longer become "obsolete". For example, when Infantry2 is researched, Infantry1 will still be build-able. (the ability to decide is important especially with all the new changes to unit upgrade tracks)
  
• Infantry and Tank research naming pattern (I,II,III,VI,V,VI) have been replaced with unique names for each tech.
  
• Militia now cost 40 MPUs so smaller nations and China, spam them less mid-late game. (Tested and appears to have a positive impact on China) Militia have also been separated into three separate tiers.
• Buff to the Cruiser Ship 's anti-aircraft capabilities now making this the primary role of the Cruiser Class.
  
• Submarines now only carry 6 turns worth of arms before needing to resupply (down from 10 turns) however, operational range remains the same.
  
• All means of generating wealth from factories has been slightly increased.
  
• Airbase now requires 10 turns to build and costs $1M to maintain. (up from 5 turns and 100k maintenance cost)
  
• Metal and Coal Exploration now requires 10 MPUs and will take 30 turns. (up from 5 MPUs and 20 turns)
  
• Oil Exploration now also require 10 MPUs and will take 40 turns. (up from 5 MPUs and 20 turns)
  
• Deep Metal and Coal Mines as well as Oil Refineries will now take 20 turns to build (up from 15 turns)
  
• Some diplomatic and political programs now have more reasonable success percentages.
  
• Maximum resistance percentage any unit can achieve including buffs from military fortifications has been reduced from 75% to 65% to provide more consistent and predictable behaviour when attacking large stacks of units. Helps with a issue I like to call "Stack Wiping".
  
• Added a new experience tier: "Experienced". Designed to fix a gap that existed between the veteran and elite experience tiers.
  
• Many other small changes...

---

• Tweaks to AI research tracks and science/production policies.
  
• New nations to liberate and more accurate population numbers.
  
• A way to UPGRADE infrastructure rather than building anew. Ex. Roads, Railroads
  
• Test the idea of increasing building and resource producer's hit-points by a factor of 10.
  
• Fund Political Opposition with more reasonable success percentages.

---

• Some encyclopedia entries have placeholders.
  
• English is the only supported language for new content added by this mod.
  
• Nuclear Power Plant and Coal Plant is occupying the same city model space but are fully functional when both are built.
  
• AI use of new units and Unit Upgrade Tracks isn't always logical.

The whole reason why this mod exists is because I enjoy making these changes so I plan to work on this mod as I find the time. I hope to make slow but steady updates and improvements, optimisations and accurate troop descriptions/encyclopedia entries. Thank you so much for all the positive feedback and giving this workshop content a thumbs up, it means a lot!
