Strategic Resources - A Ported HoI3 Mechanic

Description
Strategic Resources - A Ported HoI3 Mechanic
This is a simple mod, made roughly within a weekend, which aims to reproduce the strategic resources mechanic from Hearts of Iron 3. The intro event (first screenshot here) explains everything you need to know about it.

Features:
  • 17 unique strategic resources with icons and descriptions in 47 different locations
  • 18 event pictures illustrating the resources
  • A scripted GUI element showing all resources and the current controller of their location
  • Custom map mode to see where the resources are
  • 3 custom achievements relating to strategic resources

If you need help with the mod, I'm most easily reached via Discord, look for Temuzu at the HoI4 Modding Coop server (linked below).

Compatibility
This mod only modifies one vanilla file, countrystateview.gui, which was necessary to add the province modifiers. Roughly speaking, the mod will work with any mod that uses the vanilla map, but I wont make any promises.

This mod is free-to-use!
You're welcome to use any and all parts of this mod in your own projects. Of course, keep in mind that the original resource graphics belong to Paradox, and the various event images are also not original. You don't need to ask my permission, but I wouldn't mind hearing if this mechanic makes it into a completed mod.

Hi, I was wondering if you could make a National Spirit that reflects all the buffs you have, I would also like to mention that for some buffs I'm unsure if my other mods are making it not work but I don't see the buffs being reflected on units. ( For example as Germany I don't see the Agility Buff on my planes. )

stronger buffs are absolutely a good idea

I did not carry on reading, I have died. this is the great-grandmother. I will now be doing what I need to do to avenge my greatgrandson.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a crappy copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk

I agree with the general sentiment of the buffs being too weak as someone very experienced with the game and that a lot of the buffs don't translate well with the original. I would suggest specifically that for auto industry you replace tank build speed with something allowing you to build trucks easier or a halftrack buff, just something affecting one of those. Being able to build tanks faster from a strong auto industry is a bit odd of a choice but would also be true. Giving all divisions a magical speed boost from it makes much less sense, like your leg infantry who don't even have car transport are gonna start walking faster

Maybe you should make a version with even stronger buffs for the people who would want that, like genuinely crank them up to 15% or 30% so these Areas on the map become very important.
Wuzzle (trans rights!) 27 May @ 9:18am 
Yeah these buffs seem really weak in comparison to the buffs in hoi3, which makes them not really worth fighting over or defending, it's just a nice but ignorable bonus for getting that state or ally

Not to mention, some of them just don't seem to suit the previous buff at all, Air Agility replacing Air Build Speed is notably bad to me, so is Army Organization Regain replacing Casualty Trickleback and Divisions Speed replacing Tank Build Speed

@Punished Che @MasterJullpod420 I didn't want to make the buffs too busted. It's a hard line to balance, and it's tough to say what's enough/not enough. Take that fur for example, if you lose 1000 men to winter attrition a month, with fur it'd be 950. Say a month lasts for 5 months, that's 2500 lives saved. Now multiply that with the actual size of your army, it does add up pretty quickly.

I'm open to suggestions of course, if you can somehow justify them.
