[OLD] Military Expanded

UPDATED VERSION is found here.
---------------------------------------------


There are events (triggered by decisions) that allow the player to choose between various boosts at the expense of some negative modifiers. The aim is to allow the player to have an in-depth interaction with the military. There are unique, country specific choices available as well.

All the events have a "No effect" option for those who do not like the choices.
All the events can be reset at any time immediately. This means they can be used tactically when planning for various battles or wars.
These only apply to the player. (I may add them for the AI in the future.)


The choices are:

Organization
March >> +2.5% discipline & +5% morale & -15% movement speed & +10% attrition
Chaaaarge >> -2.5% discipline & -5% morale & +15% movement speed & -10% attrition
>> None

>> None

Defense vs Offense
Defensive doctrine>> +15% defensiveness & -15% siege ability
Offensive doctrine>> -15% defensiveness & +15% siege ability
>> None

Artillery focus (only available after military tech 13)

Conscription (mutually exclussive with the 'ONLY MERCS' option)
More conscripts>> +25% manpower & +25% sailors & +2 national unrest
Less conscripts>> -25% manpower & -25% sailors & -1 national unrest & -0.02 war exhaustion
>> None

Army vs Navy (must have at least 5 ports)

>> None

Religious morale (around one decade into the age of reformation, the year 1520)
Deus vult: God wills it>> +7.5% morale & +15% naval morale & -2 tolerance of heathens & -2 tolerance of heretics
Practice tolerance>> -7.5% morale & -15% naval morale & +2 tolerance of heathens & +2 tolerance of heretics
>> None

Standing army vs Mercenary army * (MAJOR: it costs to change and its cost is scaled with income)
Conscript focus>> -999% available merc & +5% discipline & 10% morale & +25% manpower & +33% manpower recovery speed & -0.5% army tradition decay & +33% drill modifier & +25% land maintenance & -50% merc discipline
Merc focus>> +999% available merc & -20% merc cost & -20% merc maintenance & -20% reinforcement cost & +60% merc discipline & -50% discipline & -25% morale & -999% manpower & +2 leaders & -999% drill modifier & +100% loot
>> None

*NOTE: The modifiers might seem strange, but the end result is a standing army (no mercs) with high morale (+5% disc & +10% morale) or a merc army (no conscripts) with high discipline (+10% merc disc** & -20% morale).
**(The merc discipline is 60%-50%=10%, but discipline of conscripts will be -50% so they are useless with the merc army choice.)
